Our KL trip !!! Part 2

So i shall cont with day 3 and so,

DAY 3:
Day 3 was actually the most interesting day in our trip. Alarm was set at 9.30, so usual thing like day 2, breakfast then waited for zc's shitting session then we set off. Our 1st destination of the day was ampang. Targetting Ampang yong tau foo xD Took the train and we reached ampang after like 30mins. Was quite early and we were actually lost after we came out from ampang station, so we took cab again. LOL, talked malay to the driver and made him used the meter, it took us arnd rm5 to reach until the in front of the restaurant called Foong Foong ampang yong tau foo.

We took the most photos in this place during the trip xD, i was really lost and confused abt wat to order, so i paid attention to the aunty in front and just learnt from her wat to order, LOL. Zc said i looked like a regular customer xD, i think we ordered as much as 40+ pieces of yong tau foo and 4 bowls of white rice. None of us can finish the white rice except zc, LOL. Below are the photos we took on that day,

The yong tau foo comes in a rather big portion then the usual ones we can found in penang, bt the taste was just so so, and they were so oily that i had to wipe my mouth every 2mins, lol. So we proceed to some shoppings after the lunch session which caused us to walked out with a big tummy. Took cab again to this shopping mall called ampang point. Was quite small and the stuff sold inside was pretty much malay style. Jw bought a bolster, i think its abt angry bird and its orange in colour, never seen a pig holding a bolster b4 ? Ask jw to hold it for u to see. xD xD xD

Another fren of mine wants to meet me in sg wang, so we need to head off, the girls went to shop at Times square again while zc went back to hotel to shit, lol. So later i am done with my own stuff, i went to buy some bak gua as sourvenir to take back to penang, walked from sg wang to the shop called wing heong, according to my parents, their bak gua was very nice, so do the price :\ The most expensive bak gua was priced at rm90 per kg !!! Anyway, b4 i left from sg wang, i wanted to find a cab that drives me to in front of the shop mainly due to im walking alone myself and i donno the exact location. But, the funny part was every taxi driver refused to drive me after i've told them i wanted to go to buy products that made from pork !! xD, they just said: dekat saje, jalan la, taxi ni mahal. Nvm, they just saved me rm5 or rm10. LOL. Walked from sg wang and it took me 10mins bought a total of rm130 and bought some for zc too, he wanted to bring back for his aunty. So i cant afford to walk back from hotel coz its quite far from the place where i bought the bak gua, took cab again. Rm5 T.T. Reached hotel and we left for dinner.

I google-d the dinner arnd our hotel area back in penang b4, and i found theres actually a restaurant serving chong qing spicy hot steamboat in just behind our hotel so we went to try it off. They were serving buffet and a promotion of 3 person paying, free 1. So we divided the cost and its just rm21 for each person only. According to zc and xr, the steamboat was actually quite an authentic one, the best so far they've tried in Msia. Below is a pic showing the condition that night,

The chili oil side was the one, it wasnt spicy at all and there was some special aroma that u cant resist flowing from it. A slice of beef will do the trick, cant tell much except the few of us whom tried will know =) Also, check the couples out, they were wearing couple shirts that day xD

Headed off back to hotel after that, was quite a tiring day, our leg nearly broke off xD walked for like so damn long that day. Oh, i forgot to mention, we actually went to 2 restaurants for many times during the trip to KL. The 1st 1 being Gong Wo Tong, selling herbal tea and gui ling gao. The gui ling gao was damn exp, priced at rm8 each for small, we, me,jw and xr had it for 3 cont days, fearing pimples and heatiness in our body will raise xD, the 2nd 1 was snowflake, selling taiway style dessert, fking nice okay, the taroballs werent disappointing tho i don get to try it on the very 1st day. Price was okay, 6.50-7 each. It comes in a big portion. Basicaly that concludes our day 3.

DAY 4:
Day 4 was a rush one as bus back to penang was at 3.30pm, we asked the hotel to reserve a taxi for us at 2.15pm mainly due to the horrible experience b4 we set off in penang, chasing bus in the early morning, so we wanna spare some time this time for us, woke up at quite early, usual thing, breakfast>zc shit then we went to times square for more shoppings. I bought ntg for the past 3 days so i tot i might wanna get myself something today. Bought an addidas shoe at rm180, offer price. Wouldnt actually bought it if it wasnt having a promotion. Im stingy when it comes to this thing xD Boon siang called in between, i was told that their KL trip has been cancelled due to no body was interested in going KL, bt we were actually in genting in the same day !!! Anyway, we bump into a fair that sells branded stuff at a fairly low price. Looked arnd and i bought 2 shirts, zc bought 3 and jw bought a pair of jackets for herself and her bf. Off to lunch, lunch at a restaurant called 拾八风味 pretty much okay bt its rather similar to canton-i in queensbay mall, 3 of them had set lunch with rice and dish etc, i had wanton mee and some weird taste tze chuan chicken as side dish. Rushed to get the snowflake for the very last time b4 our departure. Had taroballs for the 1st time as i missed it when 3 of them had it on the very 1st night coz i went to meet with my fren.

Back to the hotel right after seeing the taxi we ordered arrived, we went back to the hotel and picked up our stuff and followed the taxi to corus hotel where aeroline is going to pick us up. Waited there for more than45 mins b4 we left. We were asked to wait at a waiting area in the hotel which we can choose to take some coffee and tea from the tea counter using our aeroline tickets and its FREE !!! Had some chit chat sessions then off we go !!! Going back to penang was smooth, stopping in a pit stop near taiping, we bought some fruits, zc bought laichi and jw bought longan, LOL. At arnd 8.30pm we arrived in penang, there goes our trip =D, in conclusion, it was a fun bt tiring trip, i wasted like nearly 1k in the whole trip, lol, like burning money T.T

Our KL trip !! Part 1

So apparently some of our members donno about our days and experiences in KL, shall share it here and as a "diary" for us to rmb wat had happened in KL. I shall start with the very 1st moment b4 we boarded on the bus............

DAY 1:
At around 7.50am, i fetched xr and zc then the nightmare begins.......the road was packed with millions of cars, like ants....so we were stucked at there for like half an hour, our bus was scheduled to take off at arnd 8.30am, so we were quite panic, jw was ad there as she was fetched by her bf, obviously sg. dua is nearer to queensbay. So we had to actually take the detour to pekaka then hopefully turned into queensbay, hoping that it shortens the time due to the long jam. Wat interesting was during the que to queensbay via sg. nibong, we found that the stupid aeroline bus was stucked there too !! I then faster cut and make it on top of the bus and finally, we arrived like 3 mins ahead of the bus. Phew, we made it thru the 1st hard time. In the bus was pretty much ntg, jw sat with me, and shes really a pig, she slept for like 3/4 of the whole 4.5hrs journey to KL. Aeroline provided us a breakfast but apparently it was just a bread with a ham attached to it. Drinks were coffee or tea. The whole trip was a pleasant one, the bus was equipped with a large LCD tv, screening karate kid and pirates of carribean. 4 channels of music just to sorta of like lullaby. Anyway, we arrived at KL shortly.

It was arnd 1.30pm we arrived at KL, in front of Corus hotel. Immediately we took cab coz we don wanna waste our time searching the lrt station with our heavy luggage arnd. The hotel or inn we are supposed to stay in was right behind Times Square, the taxi driver dropped us near the road, bt actually there was still some distance to the inn. So we walked and searched arnd the area with our heavy luggage. Found it like after a 10-mins walk. The inn was very comfortable. Checked in and zc and i were arranged to a lvl 3 room. They gave us a twin bed, LOL. Zc wasnt really comfortable with that so he requested to change the room to a double bed one, which was just beside xr and jw's room at lvl 1. So we were neighbours for the 4 days. After we threw our luggage aside, we went out for lunch. Lunch in Times Square was rather okay, we have no mood due to the long distance travelling has drained our energy. Simply ate at a hong kong style restaurant, i ate spaghetti, thats all i rmb. We then took lrt to KLCC just to buy our return ticket coz zc forgot to buy it in penang. We forgot to check the route and we stopped at a fking long lrt and we actually need to walk for like 20mins+ to reach there. Jw, xr and i were damn tired. Zc walks the fastest so he just asked us to stay cool in KLCC and he walks to the hotel where the aeroline counter was situated.

Suria KLCC was ntg, its just a mall with hell lots of branded stuff like coach, LV and other luxurious brands that we rarely seen in penang. Shop arnd while waiting for zc's return. Zc bought his nike shoes which costs him arnd rm330. Rich. We bought ntg. So theres ntg much, then we headed back, also mainly due to i wanted to meet with my fren in KL. Dinner was in Lot 10, a place full of food, just directly opposite to Sg. wang plaza. Had the "Kam Lin Kei" hokkien mee, taste was okay but the whole plate of noodles was full of pork lard, disgusting. Had congee too, rather hungry that time. The 3 of them were WOW, u can eat huh, we damn full ald LAAAAAAAAAAAAA. BUT, they had KFC as supper at night while i went out to meet with my fren, sean, in Ampang area. Took me like 45mins to reach there, FML. I reached hotel at arnd 1.30am, zc was ald asleep and he still need to open the door for me, poor thing =(.

Day 1 pretty much ended that way, oh, the girls had some shopping sessions in Times Square too, they bought some stupid slippers called flippers. Xr started bugging zc to put them on since that day, LOL......

Day 2:
Asked the hotel to give us a morning call at 9am, so we woke up so fking early coz according to our plans, we are supposed to go to Mr lim's palace, Genting. Had breakfast for the 1st time in that hotel, breakfast was fried bihun and some cakes. Zc opposed those cakes and quickly ate the bihun and he went to toilet. So the 3 of us waited for him like 20-30 mins for the toilet session, lol. Left the hotel and off to Pudu via lrt. We were shocked to find that the long que in the counter that sells the bus ticket to genting. Followed the que and waited for like half an hour. Bought the bus ticket which leaves at 12pm and the return ticket at 6pm for Rm9.60 per way. I think it was 11.30am that time, so we just did our own stuff and waited there b4 the bus arrives. The brainless bus driver actually driving at light speed. Jw nearly died in the bus, her face was so pale, LOL. I think she nearly throw out the breakfast we had that morning. xD I must say that jw has a very high fashion sense, she brought herself a grandma-aged-hat. Something like those ppl who had cancer wearing from wat we've seen in the HK drama, LOL. She fainted in the bus during the 1hr-ride. So we arrived at skyway, genting. The situation at genting skyway was like half of the ppl in genting was que-ing for the cable car. It took us more than half an hour to reach the cable car. The cable car ride was arnd 15-20mins, and we arrived genting at 1.45pm. Immediately we went for toilet and searched for restaurant to have our lunch.  Took a photo b4 we went off.


Had lunch in a rather chinese restaurant, I had char hor fun and 3 of them had knife-shreded noodles (刀削面), the waitress mistook the order from zc and jw which costs their noodles to ready later than ours in 20mins. So extra time in having lunch, we had arnd 2hrs for the casino part. We were then told that we can actually apply for our genting membership card at no cost at all. So 3 of us, zc, jw and me went for the application of the member card. I have no idea why xr doesnt wanna apply for 1. Anyway, it took us another extra 30mins again. 1.5hrs to gamble just too short for me =( considering the whole journey took us like 3hours+ to reach there and another 3hours+ to go back to KL. Lost rm200 for the jackpot machines, zc and xr lost rm30 total, and jw was rm10. Headed back to the cable car station and found that we were abit early so i went off to try the 1901 hot dogs. LOL. Enjoyed the privilegde of genting member, 10% discounts on the hot dogs xD Bought some tidbits in the skyway so we happened to enter a shop that sells tidbits.

We arrived in Pudu at arnd 7.30pm, went to petaling street and looked arnd for food. Saw tonnes of fake branded bags, tot of buying 1 for my mom. Went to the street across petaling street and we had the only hawker-food meal in KL during this trip. Jw was damn hungry, check the photo out.

After the dinner session, i headed back to the stall where i targetted the bag for my mom. Bargained and thx to xr for checking the quality out for me. My mom was quite satisfied with the bag bought that night. After we get all the things done, we headed back to hotel at 10pm. Bathed and i went out to the lobby to on9, rm0.50 for 10mins, quite a decent price for hotel, so i played for like 40mins, lol. Then 4 of us had some picnic session in our room, ate the chips zc brought here and the almond nuts i brought. Also those tidbits we bought in genting that evening. xr and jw had mask session too. Jw was too scary under that mask, lol. Should have taken a photo that time :\ Anyway, i shall cont to part 2 for day 3 and 4, its getting too long for a post, lol. Stay tuned.............
