Day 3: Kuala Lumpur to Singapore

25 April 2010- It was the final day in Kuala Lumpur. Mel and I will be returning back to Singapore.

We packed our stuff and check out from the hotel. We left our belonging at the lobby and we went to Old Town cafe for our breakfast, which is located inside the Pavilion Mall (Bukit Bintang).

I loved the ice blended Hazelnut white coffee!! The taste is so superb! I also ordered Hor Fun. After our breakfast, we head to KLCC to shop since there are enough time.

After that, we took the train back to our hotel to claim our items and we took a cab to bus terminal and board the coach back to Singapore.

The journey to Kuala Lumpur is too short and too rush! I guess the next visit should be 4 days 3 night will be great!

Day 2: Kuala Lumpur and Pulau Ketam Tour

24 April 2010: I woke up quite early at 0615 hours. As it was still early and we planned to visit Pulau Ketam, I decided to tune in to Television and watched the local channel. I am quite surprised that ASTRO ACE channel features Singapore local Mediacorp TV shows! I guessed that Singapore show is quite popular in Malaysia media market.

At the same time waited for Mel to wake up. I tried my best to wake Mel but I failed. Finally, Mel woke up and both of us prepared ourselves and left the hotel. First thing first, we will be eating our breakfast first. We walked to LOT10 and eat Malaysian local food.

After eating our breakfast, we went to ride the monorail and alighted at KL Sentral and take about 15 minutes walk to KL Sentral hub (Note that KL Monorail is not linked with Putra LRT, KTM and bus terminus).

We got the ticket from the KTM ticket counter and went to Platform 5. After reaching the Port Klang Terminal (Apox 1hrs 50mins), you need to take High Speed Boat (Apox 30mins) to Pulau Ketam.

Pulau Ketam is actually a Chinese Fishing Village. The houses are all built on stilt above the mangrove swamps. Pulau Ketam is the only island where you cannot find any motor vehicles!! The only transport mode is through bicycle.

The living standard is very simple. From there, you will understand how lucky we are living in Modern World. It was a great exposes for me to visit to Pulau Ketam.

What more, the food was great!! Everything was fresh and home made! If you have the chance to travel to Kuala Lumpur, why not give yourself a half day trip to Pulau Ketam and experience it.

After our visit to Pulau Ketam, we took the KTM and back to KL Sentral and after which, we took the KTM again at Platform 6 to Mid Valley.

We head to Hong Kong KIM Gary for our dinner. After our dinner, we shop around at the Mid Valley before we are heading back to Bukit Bintang. At the same time, I finally got Malaysia Digi Prepaid card activated!!

Around 11plus pm, we went out with Wai for supper at Jalan Alor and then head down to A&W for root beet float. Actually wanted to eat the waffle ice-cream but un-fortune, it sold out!! It would be my greatest regret for not having A&W waffle ice-cream.

Day 1: Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, West Malaysia

23 April 2010. I woke up at 0540 hours. Packed last minutes items and showered before heading out. When I left my house, I realized that I forgotten to bring my ezlink out. -.-

I went back home again and took ezlink and went out again. Just then, my bus arrived and I board the bus. The bus journey is kinda slow as it stops every bus stop.

Finally, I reached Hock Seng Building where the Transtar Coach is located. I reached quite early. I waited for Mel to arrive. Soon, Mel Arrived and we checked in at Transtar Coach office.

While we are waiting for the bus to depart, the Transtar staff served us coffee. About 0820 hours, the bus arrives and we are now board the bus. It departed at 0830 hours. It stopped at Golden Mile Complex to fetch passengers.

Now, it drove towards to Singapore Checkpoint and head to Malaysia Checkpoint. Soon, we transit at Yong Peng for 20 minutes. Before it resumed back the journey.

The bus equips with Massage chair and in-built TV entertainment system. I took a nap before we reach Kuala Lumpur (KL). About 1430 hours, we reached Pusaraya terminal, KL. After that, we walked towards to Time Square and board the KL Monorail to Bukit Bintang station and checked in the hotel at Federal Hotel, KL.

After that, we took showered and rest awhile before we heading out for shopping. We went to Pavilion for shopping and then head to KLCC to meet Mitt for dinner. We dine in at Mdm Kwan Restaurant.

After dining at KLCC, Mel and I head to Chinatown and shop for purse which my aunt wanted. Then, we took the train and went to Time Square for late night movie show before we are heading back to hotel.
