A quick update on the KL Trip.

Day 1:

Departed from SG at around 6am. Arrived at JB Larkin at around 8 am. I was pretty determined not to get conned again by the touting people. Walked straight to transnational booth. And bought my 2 KL ticket from the person standing in front of the booth. End up. Conned by them again. Have to sit in the black bus call bas eskpress. Lesson learnt: Get ticket only from people IN the booth.

After an exceedingly long journey, finally arrived in Puduraya bus terminal at 2pm. Walked to our hotel, checked in. Place was very small. Swiss inn was much better. Dropped out stuff, and headed out for Berjaya Times Square straight. Took a nice cup of coffee at starbucks and headed down to low yat plaza to check things out. Nice IT shopping centre. Much better than Sim lim. But Funan still nicer. Prices of Wind 7 is just 419 rm. Super cheap compare to sg prices.

After checking stuff out, headed out to Berjaya times square. And as usual, did our shopping there. Had dinner at one of the jap restaurant. Not very nice. Taste very malayish. Went back to our hotel at night, ate supper at the claypot mee tai mat. Tried their fried dumplings. Fantastic dumplings. And it was time for sleep.

Day 2:

Woke up in the morning for breakfast. Hotel breakfast was pretty horrible. Nothing to shout about. Next we headed towards Mid valley mega shopping centre via their substations. Shopped till I wanted to die. Went to the robinson building beside it, Nothing much to buy over there as all the shops were too expensive. Ate Domino Pizza for lunch and Teppanyaki for dinner. Back in China town at night and went to shop at the area under the hotel.

Day 3:

Woke up in the morning for horrible breakfast. Went to KLCC Suria. Turn out to be another shopping centre. Very much wanted to go Twin towers, but the tickets were out. So we have to settle for some other stuffs. Decided not to shop as we were broke, watched a movie instead. Sherlock Holmes was awesome. And the movie ticket price was pretty cheap. After that we headed back to KL Sentral to take the express train to LCCT for our flight. The train was very fast. Much faster than our MRT. Transport wise very convenient. Arrived at the Airport under 1 hour. Ate dinner at Marry brown, took our last walk around the airport and up the plane.

Arrived in Singapore faster than i can read finish my newspaper, and in time to count down to Christmas in singapore.

Total cost of this trip adds up to around 200 SGD. A tat over budget.
