Okay…I’m starting a new work, new place, new environment, new people this coming Monday. It’s so stressful…sigh…so to make sure I had a blast before all these things come crashing on me…I went on a trip to KL with Mr. GVM! Yes, this is totally last min. Mr. GVM’s leave was approved on Monday and we booked our tickets on Tues. Then the next min I know, I am packing up my stuff and waking up early in the morning at 5.30am to get myself ready for the trip to helluva fun!

6 May

5.30am – woke up, washed up and ready to go

6am – met Mr. GVM down my house. It was raining super uber heavily. DOWNPOUR! What a way to start our journey. Then we are on our way to Golden Mile.

7.30am – Board the coach and off we go!

Individual entertainment on an 18-seater executive coach. The games were just some old-time gameboy game (eg. sonic the hedgehog, bust-a-move, aladdin) and outdated movies (such as dalmatian 101, the nanny diaries, money no enough 2 and etc). Nonetheless, these are still entertaining when it comes to a long journey along malaysia expressway with nothing but trees and trucks.

around 11am – we arrived at Yong Peng for a lunch break.

1.30pm – TADA! We have stepped into Berjaya Times Square Hotel at Kuala Lumpur! It’s actually not a very tiring journey.

And the rest of the day is simply shopping shopping and more shopping at Berjaya Times Square! Can you imagine a bugis village style of shopping mall more than  7 levels high. If you think VivoCity is big, Berjaya Times Square is like 2 times of VivoCity man. And every shop is on a “buy 1 get 1 free” promotion with dresses less than rm29! Actually I didn’t really buy alot of thing. I only bought about 1 jumpsuit, 4 dresses and 1 shirt = total rm 204 = SGD 100. An avg. of 16 dollars per piece. Not v. cheap lar cause the dresses I bought are mainly officewear…for my new job lor =(  If you are goin for those casual dresses for shopping and etc. U can get more at the same price. But at least Mr. GVM bought alot more with lesser amt of money.

I didn’t take photos of the clothes that I bought. =(

But I have to say, the fake soccer jerseys, soccer stuff and all the imitations of LV, Coach, Chanel and Burberry can really make u go “WOW”.

Oh and I wanted to mention. the hotel room in Berjaya Times Square hotel is soooooooo big. I don’t know if it’s a suite (tho Mr. GVM said it’s not). It’s still relatively big!

Then we had our first lunch in KL at the restaurant named Vivo. heh heh~ It served western food. Cheap cheap machiam Aston/Botak Jones! I would say it’s more like Aston’s cause it tasted better. hahahah. A total bill of RM32 = SGD 16

7 May

We woke up tad late cause were watching Barca vs. Chelsea on cable. And then off we went to our breakfast at the hotel restaurant. mmm..Not v. sedap. At least not something I would crave for again.

Then we are ready for our trip to the magnificent Twin Towers!

Then we had our lunch at a fast food chain that has long extinct in Singapore – A&W. And in fact, I now understand that things do happen for a reason. the food sucks. Besides the root beer with the float that would filled from your tummy up to your throat. The burgers and fries and everything taste like crap. The chicken waffle is the most disgusting thing. They put too much mustard that covered the delectable taste of chicken. It tasted nothing but mustard. like shit.

Then we had a great time exploring the discovery center at KLCC. It’s something like Science Center and Discovery Center in Singapore lar. So we didn’t really buy tickets to go in. We had some fun time playing the free displays outside the center. haha

We didn’t shop much at KLCC cause it’s like Takashimaya. Everything is expensive. Even more expensive than in Singapore.

So we proceeded to Sungei Wang for more shopping….But the things there are all the fake goods. So in the end. we only bought stuff from Chinatown. Some local products and a few fake t-shirts. hahaha. But the things there are roughly the same. Fake jerseys, fake LV, fake Chanel, fake Burberry, fake Coach and etc. So it doesn’t really entice the both of us. When you have seen 2 shops, you have seen them all.

Then we were finally back at Berjaya again to do some more shopping and eating. (more pix still in Mr. GVM’s camera which he has yet to find a way of uploading from the SD card)

Stay tuned for more pix and story of my last day in KL >>
