Well, I know its very late to write my Asian travel experience, I'm sorry. I am kinda busy lately, but with my temporary transfer to HR-Volume Recruitment, I have an ample time to write and update my blog account.
After staying in Singapore for five days, Beh and I flew to Kuala Lumpur for another 4 days; the second leg of our Asian trip. Boarded Singapore Airlines, the thirty minute flight was a total experience. The plane was big enough to carry more than 400 passengers. Flying high at 35,000 feet above sea level was totally amazing. Plus the fact that there was this cute male flight attendant was an added treat.
To begin with, I had high expectations for both countries, Singapore and Malaysia. But Beh and I tried not to compare both countries to prevent dissatisfaction.
KLIA was amazing as well; at par with Changi. Imagine a tram transfer inside the airport from the arrival area to the luggage conveyor. AMAzing dubah!!!!?
With the advancement e-learning, we manage to get cheap ride, from the airport to our hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Although the trip was kinda long and traffic was starting to build up, still it was a pleasant ride. If there weren't a problem during our drop-off, it could have been a perfect experience.
We ignored the incident happened and headed to our hotel. The hotel lobby was nice, somehow it helped me not to remember what had happened during our drop-off.
Our room was ok, comparable to our hotel reservation in Singapore. Everything turned out fine, the city view from our hotel room was really breath taking. Although the room key was not really working fine, we have no choice but to bare with it. Beh used her "Mc Gyver" skill in coming up with a solution. BRAVO!!!!
On our first day in KL, we went to Genting highlands. Ang chaki ng bus na nasakyan namin. Mahal pa. Ang driver kasi ng cab suggested na better for us to get a ride sa terminal na yun kasi it's more malapit. Sobrang nice ng lugar and true enough malamig talaga dun. Thanks to cleng for giving us a heads up! Ü
We went to this snow world theme park. sobrang Lamig sa loob. Below zero ang temperature. Parang totoo. While talking to each other, meron lumalabas na smoke sa bibig namin. Kaaliw! Shet nga dahil we can't take pictures inside eh. We tried the sleigh ride. Sobrang fun kasi speedy ride siya na slide. Made out of ice yung slides. Meron ding tables and chairs na ice. Kaaliw sobra! Para akong bata!
Nag cable ride din kami. As in scary kasi yung cbale car namin, sumasayaw. Chaki nga lang coz it was foggy and raining at that time. Pero ok lang, I like the experience din naman.
Petronas Tower is indeed spectacular. A brilliant creation. We went there as early as 7:00am. We thought that we will be included in the first batch of tourist who can go to the sky scrapper. To our surprise, the queue was like Pera o Bayong pila. As in parang snake na sa haba. Habang pumipila kami, Si beh spotted a cute guy. I mean uber cute na look alike ni Matt Damon. Ang harot ni Beh;sobra sa harot.
Sunny: Beh, kunan mo ako ng picture pero isali mo yung guy sa likod ko ha?
Me: Ang harot!!!
We are scheduled for the 9:00am trip. While waiting, we were entertained by the video presentation sa loob ng basement ng Petronas. They have also this puzzle thingy. Aba! Si Beh hinde nakapagpigil and nagpa-challenge din. Kina-reer ang puzzle. Few minutes after, Vhoom! Tumpak! She made it. Sobra ang IQ ni Beh, outstanding. Brilliant! TM na TM.(hinde kaya yun yung sign, Beh?)
Paakyat na kami sa Sky Bridge. I think more than 30 kami sa loob ng elevator. If I am not mistaken, nasa 59th floor kami. The panoramic view of KL was very overwhelming. Pero hinde ako nai-iyak. Chill lang. We stayed sa sky scraper ng mga 15 minutes lang. Syempre, puro pictures galore ito. So after namin sa Petronas, we went to KLCC. Syempre excited ulit. We went to Aquaria. It’s all about this Big Aquarium na meron walkalator sa loob. I think mga 40 ringgits ang bayad. Sobrang bilib talaga ako kay Beh, tama bang umawak siya ng SHARK? Oo, shark ang hinawakan niya. Baby shark nga lang. pero the thought of hahawakan mo ang shark kahit sa ulo, sa buntot o kahit sa mata pa niya hinde ko nagawa. Sobrang natakot ako.
Sobrang daming animal creatures sa loob. Tarantulas, snakes and turtles in all sizes. The fish? Parang halos lanaht ng species they have it na. Kaaliw talaga! It was so POSH. Sobrang ang lalaki ng Fish. Halos malaki pa sa akin. Super fun talaga sa loob.
They have this feeding show too. Two guy divers inside the aquarium feeding the sharks, gigantic sting rays and mga isda. Scary baka lamunin na lang yung diver ng shark! My knees were trembling talaga! After the the posh experience, we headed back sa hotel to rest. Masakit na our feet sa kakalakad.
At around 2:00pm, we are scheduled to visit Batu Caves. The driver was so late kaya delayed yung activities and services schedules naming. The climb was kinda challenging. Nakakapagod. Nakakangalay. But we managed to reach the top. Medyo hinde posh kasi amoy urine ng mga bats. Kaya pala siya tinawag na Batu cave, kasi isa siyang cave na puro rock formation. Meron din mga stalactites and stalagmites. Meron pang stairs para makapunta ka sa parang gitna ng cave. Mas lalong na amaze ako kasi andun yung eye ng cave. In short, it was a nice experience.
We went to Royal Selnagor factory too. It’s the world’s biggest pewter churva! Kaaliw! Pumunta din kami sa factory ng mga silks and sarongs. Ok lang, medyo chill lang dun.
