Prologue:
A usual Wednesday noon, I was doing whatever I was doing at home. Casually asked the kids where would they be staying in KL. Girl said a big airbnb apartment enough for 5pax for the 3 of them.
Me: Wow! So big arh?
Girl: You want to join?
Me: WANT!
Son: ???
Me: Quick, see the bus still got seat or not.
Girl: Okie! Have!
Me: Book!!!
Son: Serious arh???
Serious. The booking of coach for me was done like, within 5mins lolxx... That's how the impromptu KL trip came about the following Sunday. Our group was made up of with 3 youngsters including my son plus myself. I was away from them most of the time, let the youngsters enjoy themselves instead of tagging behind, so it was very much like a solo-trip.

It was a 9am bus, we took MRT to the meeting point at Lavender station. It was a breeze.
The train wasn't crowded with many like us carrying small luggage heehee...
We had Mcdonald's while waiting for the bus. A normal bus came to pick a few of us up and we were transferred to another luxury coach.
The 24 seater was very comfortable.
It was only half full, everybody was quiet so it was very pleasant. I hoped I didn't snore too much.
Hello JB, from Tuas checkpoint with a breeze at around 10.30am.
Reached Yong Peng pee stop for a dessert.
We reached KL city before 4pm.
Contrast of new and old buildings.
Didn't know there were so many highway bridges.
Our bus stopped at Berjaya Times Square. We called for Grab, it took forever, then was a 10mins drive to Regalia Residence.
It had a super nice lobby with a shallow pool of koi and plants.
It consists of 3 blocks of residential buildings and a hotel.
The accommodation wasn't arranged by me so it was a big surprise when we opened the door.
Million dollars KL city view from the living room.
For this it changed the way I looked at KL, it suddenly looked like a mini version of Dubai.
The apartment had 2 bedrooms, this was one with a single and super single with the amazing also.
It had an attached bathroom, a small rack for hanging clothes and a small study table.
The other room was a super single, same view. The train could be heard in this room which I had, but it didn't bother me much. The room was very small, no storage space for clothes whatsoever.
This room had no toilet so I had to use the common toilet, no biggie though. Sunlight pierce right through the thin blue curtain, so I didn't need an alarm to wake up. The aircon temperature couldn't be adjust, freezes most of the time but I couldn't be bothered to raise up the issue, sometimes I just switched it off in the mid night.
Simple kitchen, washing machine and a small fridge.
If I were the owner, I would invest on the amenities and furnishes so as to fetch a slightly higher rental price. The apartment was so spacious, it was such a pity.
Dinner at Huen Kee Claypot Rice, Michelin. We were stuck in the rain else we probably had left. More than 1 hour of wait we had endured.
Charcoal claypots.
After over an hour, we finally got to sit down.
Veg was normal, nothing to rave or rant.
Thai sauce tofu, from the look you knew it's over fried, all dried.
Nice pipping hot (obviously) with aroma of sesame oil. Generous chucks of tender chicken.
It would be a nice meal if not for the torturous wait.
Bill for 3 pax, such deal doesn't exist in Singapore.
Rainy night called for screaming night in karaoke located in Berjaya Square.
Happy screaming our lungs out from 9pm to 12am, 3hrs for 3pax was about RM70 with free flow drinks and 2 types of tibits, couldn't "hiam" already.
The room was big, aircon was cold, sound system was great.
That was our first day in KL. Next day I went on solo to Mont Kiara, it didn't feel like Malaysia lolxx...
