Kuala 'Lumpuh!'

more pictures at Wak's Store Room
went to kuala lumpur on the 23 december to 26 december 2006 with my father, mother, small sister and small brother. my nenek tak ikut. the trip made me learn more about my family. i learnt that all of us are shy to ask. malu nak tanya. bila suruh mintak tanya orang, satu pun tak berganjak. even my mother and my father also tak mahu bergerak. its weird. cos i actually realised that now and how difficult life is being with people who are afraid of asking to people.

we stayed at a hotel at Bukit Bintang area where the surroundings were like Orchard Road! many big shopping centres like Lot10, Sungei Wang Plaza, BB Plaza and Times Square. the area basically good for chinese tourists as there were many chinese restaurants there. and during the eve of Christmas, there were almost no malays in that area! hehe.

went to Muzium Negara and Zoo Negara. learnt about the different ethnics of the Malays. the rest of the exhibitions was boring. the paling boring part was the second storey of the museum was closed for renovations. couldn't get to see the weaponry gallery. alamak...... Zoo Negara was alright. got to see a really big snake, camels munching carrots, orang utans eating fruits thrown by visitors, illegally, monkeys kutip kutu kat badan monkey yg lain. and of the course kerinduan terubat bila dapat tengok guinea pigs.

bila nak pergi cari hotel lain pulak for the 3rd night, satu2 muka bonyok. and because lelaki punya ego tinggi, aku dengan bapak aku bertelingkah buat sementara waktu sampaikan bapak aku kata dia nak beli tiket balik. good thing the tickets were all sold out and so another one more day at KL.

sightseeing at KLCC and shopping at Petaling Street. but the best was ate dinner at A&W! Coney dogs, ice cream waffles and the famous root beer floats! A&W certainly is a good fast food restaurant, too bad Singapore doesn't have one anymore.

most of the time we took LRT and trains rather than public buses and taxis. we had only 2 rides of taxis and no rides on a bus.

oh ya, at the last day, i hurt my knee cos i jump on a bed to another bed then bounced back straight to a wall beside the bed hurting my knee.

summary of the money used.

tiket coach pergi balik KL-Johor Bahru: RM320
from Johor Bahru to KL is RM40. ticket from KL to Johor Bahru is RM28. kurang ajar betul, kat johor pulak tiketnya mahal. suspect kuat banyak orang singapura naik coach dari johor sebab murah daripada naik coach dari singapura. jadi coach2 kat johor naikkan harga ah.

hotels: RM900

sungei wang hotel kat bukit bintang. deluxe double room at RM180 and we took 2 rooms and 2 nights so total is RM720. then the 3rd night kat Palce Hotel at Masjid India area. family room at RM180. murah kan Palace Hotel? sebab tu aku rasa serba salah sebab aku yang pilih nak duduk kat Bukit Bintang. takpelah. niat nak tengok wayang dan naik roller coaster kat Times Square tetapi terbantut kerana harga hotel tu ah.

public transport around KL by trains & LRT: RM76.50
public transport around KL by taxi: RM41.30

mostly trains and LRTs were used going around KL. the disadvantages, alot of long walks to stations. took only 2 rides of taxis. masalahnya kita tak naik taxi sangat sebab kena naik sampai 2 taxi sebab kita ada 5 dewasa, 4 dewasa 1 taxi aje....

belanja: RM734

that includes food drinks and shopping.

Total spent: RM1954
