4D3N Kuala Lumpur, Day 4

 Date: 02/05/2022 (Mon)

I stopped updating for a few days cos my elder, Darren finalized that he wasn't going to Melbourne after all.  Initially he wanted just 2 weeks in Japan, he changed his mind and decided to stick with us all the way for 26 days.  I had to book flights, buy travel insurance and squeeze him into the accommodations which turned out to be a nightmare for me lolxx...  Anyway, all (almost) straighten out...

I failed to persuade old man to come along for a week or so, I feel horrible to leave him alone.  He is those kind with typical old mind set that if he takes leave too often he will get sack that kind, even though he had more than sufficient leaves with the company.  I had even calculated out for him that he just need to take 6 days with Good Friday and weekends along the way, but he was just too stubborn.  So he will be staying at home alone for almost one good month, but  I   we tried our best already...

Bad mouth him so much, here's the old man eating hotel's breakfast.

They really got a good spread.

I took away 2 mini croissants and muffins in their disposable gloves.   In case we stuck in the traffic on our back to Singapore, we wouldn't be too miserable with dinner.

Going for a dip.

Their mini infinity pool.  I wanted to stay a little longer, I don't know what's wrong with him, he was just in a hurry to leave.

Last 2 pics before checking out this beautiful vibrant hotel.

Spending our last few hours at Berjaya Times Square

The mall was very quiet with a few hipster shops.

There was a indoor roller coaster with occasional screams from the riders.

It was just too quiet.

We found A&W.  Malaysians must be wondering why in Singapore it's always long queue.

We almost had the place all to ourselves.

We shared a root beer float and waffles with ice cream cendol, yummy.

The bus was late, then it went to pick up a few Indian passengers who were 20mins late.

Scenery was nice at some parts.

The driver had no intention to stop before Yong Peng, had to request for a stop cos my bladder was bursting.  I forgotten where this was, I was about to die in the queue.  When I looked to the left there were some temporary WC cabins, chiong for life....

After pee bought this from a small stall at the pee stop.  The stall owner was smiling from left to right with the sudden gush of crowd, HUAT arh!

Had some sweet soup in Yong Peng, it was ok only.  Most stalls were closed, hungry travellers had to force themselves with horrible rice/noodles.  Luckily we had mini croissants and muffins from the hotel.

Finally back to Singapore with 3hrs delay.  Almost nothing at 11pm Tampines Hub.  We had noodles and it's not nice lolxx...

While I was eating noodles, received msg from my baby sis.

I cried in public, she must be crying alone at home.  I never know she will miss us if she didn't say so...

We filled our stomachs anyway, he took my luggage, and I followed him home lolxx..

Overall it was a nice trip but I won't be visiting Malaysia (excluding JB) any time soon.  Need to save up for bigger trips.

4D3N Kuala Lumpur, Day 3

 Date: 01/05/2022 (Sun)

Another day trip bought with Klook, Sky Mirror and Bukit Melawati Monkey Hill Tour S$127.98 for 2 pax.

 

Because of the massive holiday traffic jam, 1hr journey became 3hrs to get to Sky Mirror.  According to the driver who picked us up this was one of the least ideal jetty, which didn't take us too long to find out why.  There were other better ones with better facilities which we didn't get to experience.

Between the jetty was a seafood restaurant and a chinese temple, both horribly rundown.

The environment was very unkept, oh well can't expect "Japan" from "Malaysia", I might had set my expectation too high.

Weeds and wild grass growing everywhere...

The shore was full of rubbish.  It started to rain and the only shelter was this shabby pink boat.  The planks made cracking and squeaky sounds when people stepped on.  I think one strong foot stomp would break the boat apart lolxx...

Attendance was taken and we were on a speed boat (thank god not the

The boat ride was about 30mins and it stopped raining like a miracle.

Right in the middle of the sea, they called it a sand bank, not an island.  I was shocked to see so many people, would the sand bank sink???  Lolxx...

Looking away from the crowd, the sky was meeting the sea, so nice.

The group was allocated to a few photographers and we followed ours.

The photographers were doing "preparation", first time seeing behind the scene, normally people just post their photos on social media.  Why ignore all these hard work behind?

The photographers had to lie down on the sand bank.

While waiting for our turn, we walked around playing with sea crabs and snails.

It's not possible not to step on them, but I supposed the sand was so soft that they would just sink in when being stepped.  I hoped we killed none, didn't see any dead ones anyway.

The crowd got excited whenever a big shell was found.

We found a hermit crab.

Another smaller crab.

We line them up for photoshot lolxx...

Some more, so fun.

From knee level, the water level went down to a inch or 2.

Photos we took ourselves didn't have the mirror image but looked awesome.  Looked as if I was the only one in the vast, heehee...

One more.

The sun was behind the clouds most of the time, thank goodness.

Finally our turn, using our handphones, the young man asked what poses we wanted, we were clueless and went along with whatever he suggested.

It was very cloudy, not so much of the bright blue sky, but we were happy with the results.

After we were done, the water slowly raised again and the rain returned.

The Klook package included snacks and drinks, but it took the pink boat forever.  Apparently, Klook didn't inform them to prepare the snacks, so these were whipped up for us the very last min.

We had bubble tea and some wings.

The rundown seafood restaurant had streams and streams of customers when we left, couldn't believe it lolxx...  Perhaps getting old liao, a comfortable/clean dinning environment is very important to me.

The tram not going up Bukit Melawati due to the rain, we had no choice but to leave with seeing the monkeys.  Klook refunded only S$5 I think.

Overall it's quite a unique and fun experience at Sky Mirror, but maybe try to avoid this miserable jetty.

Back to KL city center, the weather was good again, all in our favour.

Pavilion Mall and area was exciting like Orchard Road, though some outdoor pathway had pit holes and cracks.  Wonder how many people fell down if they didn't spot them.

Inside was splendid.

They had this Japanese street inside the mall.  At that point of time, Japan's border was still closed, I could only wait, and enjoy a small faux of Japan from here.  By the way, my readers arh, my Japan is confirmed hor, from 18 Mar to 12 Apr with my kiddo Luis, heehee....  Finally can "revenge" after 3 years.  I hope I don't jinx it, bo bi bo bi....

Haneda Airport feel.

PapaVoo bought slippers but ended up not wearing after we came back.

I joined the queue at Hermes trying the get the fragrance I wanted.

Ended up my nose was so choked up that I couldn't recognise the smell, walked out empty handed, saddest thing ever.

Traffic and human jam.  Again I thought we were going to kena here, but we never.

By this time we were looking for a dinner place, all those that we preferred were full.

Passed by pre-love bazzar.

We went back Jalan Alor, urrggg.....  Tried this Thai zhi char, not too good.

Only the mango rice dessert was nice, but still a far cry from the best I had eaten.

On the way back, I noticed a small lane... wow!  Life saving foot massage street this was!

Competition here, enthusiastic workers were standing at the door not letting go of any potential customers.

PapaVoo gotten himself a big muscle guy, laugh die me.

Nothing beats foot massage after a day of walking.

Next will be Day 4, our last day in KL.  Loving myself for being so productive, posted up so much within a week, but the house is really messy.  I will let it be till the week before CNY, then have to spring clean with arms and elbows...
