Part 1 - Family Trip

Location: Kuala Lumpur
Airline: AirAsia from Brunei Darussalam to KL-LCCT
Members: My mom, Hong, Xuan, Jia & myself (auntie cancel last minute)
Duration - Oct 22nd - 25th (3days, 3nights)
Hotel: Bintang Warisan at Bukit Bintang


Oct 22 - 715pm -> Since Aunt last min cancel her trip with us she sent us to the Airport. Once we reached there we headed to the check-in counter & was inform to board immediately as the flight from KL has arrived. Once we went in to our designated gate, we dont see our plane yet... After waiting for about 15-20mins, the plane arrived, passenger from KL left the plane while passenger gonna depart from Brunei all stand up waiting to enter the plane. The staff called out those have Xpress Boarding to be in the front line.

830pm - Our plane depart from Brunei International Airport, we make Jia to sleep while Xuan was too hyper that she doesnt wanna sleep and start to walk around from my seat to her daddy seat. Purchase our SkyBus ticket from the air stewardess that cost me RM36 ($9/head)

11pm - Reached KL-LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal), did our immigration checking & wait for our luggage. Left LCCT & headed to where our Bus is, good thing there is still left with 5 more seats before the bus starts it journey. If we dint managed to get this bus i dont know for how long we gonna wait for the next bus to starts (they will only start the journey when it's packed with passenger). During the trip Xuan was too tired she slept while Jia is awake coz she is hungry. Reached KL-Sentral about 12am & purchase our taxi coupon from the taxi counter.



1230am - Reached our hotel, Bintang Warisan at Bukit Bintang. Changed to kids to their sleeping attire & cradle them to sleep. Jia slept immediately she done with her milk while Xuan keeps on telling us that she wants supper. So both me and Hong brought her down for supper while Mom and Jia stay behind to sleep. So we walk down our hotel
Night time - Right and Left View from our Hotel
Saw the lively surrounding of Bukit Bintang even at this wee hour.... While walking down the street we saw 24hrs Mc Donald's, KFC & some sundries shop and even restaurant. Since it's late we hesitate to walk further down we just choose the 24hrs restaurant & it seems so like Hong Kong Style. We sat down & there comes the waitress with the menu. Hong look into the menu & talk to me softly, "Lao Po, a plate of fried noodles cost RM15, they trying to rob us kah?" Haha... i answered him back you liar coz i still hv not see the menu... I took the menu from him and yes the cheapest food i can find is RM12 and tat's chicken porridge... Since we already sat down we just continue with ordering... Then comes the bill, a supper that cost tat cost us almost RM50 haha... Then we go back to hotel after a short walk at those convenient shop opposite to our hotel... As soon as we reached our room after laying down for less than 5mins i believe we 3 already start snoring haha....
Oct 23 - Woke up at 7am, clean myself & went to the window to get some shots...
The view from our room at 6th Floor from left, right then bottom haha


930am - Went down to our hotel coffeehouse for breakfast. Our room comes with 3 free breakfast coupon so it's just enuf for the 3 of us. After breakfast we left the hotel for our start of shopping. Since the clock reads 10am we start to work down the street of our hotel to Lot 10 & Sungai Wang Plaza. Once we reached there to our surprise all the shops are not open yet so we left the plaza without wasting our time to our next location. There i saw the tourist information counter & went there to get the map of KL. Hong saw the big road sign that Petronas Tower & KL Tower is just 1km away so we agreed to walk there. We saw lots of nice building & saw a little area where they have the 4 face buddha... We pay respect and then took some picture before continuing our journey haha

After paying respect to took some pic for rememberance. You dont see Jia coz she is sleeping on my chest carrying her using the carrying bag.
After that we continue to walk & we saw a monk, he approaches us for donation for temple building & expenses. After writing down our names and the amount we donated, he presented us bracelets and a card. As we continue to walk we took some pic

Above pic taken from about another 5mins away from the building....

We reached our destination, this is the little walkway from the tower, can you see the underground behind us, it's to the LRT


The ceiling of the mall of petronas (forgotten the name of the mall)
As the items sold in the mall are all branded we just window shopping for a while then headed back to Bukit Bintang. This time we dont walk back we used LRT & Monorail that reached till Sungai Wang Plaza.
1230pm - Had our lunch at Sungai Wang Plaza... Forgotten to take picture of the food court... All their economy set meal is like buffet style and there is about 30 different dishes for you to choose from. After lunch we continue to shop, we did more window shopping then actually buying haha coz there is nothing that fit us except for shoes.... The shoes there are so nice and the price is reasonable too... Mom bought herself 2pairs while myself 1pair.
430pm - Headed back to hotel for a little rest for the kids and my mom. My feet is hurting due to my sandal. Settle down the kids and let them hv their nap both me and hong went down to the massage center for foot reflexology. There is about 10 of those massage center at our hotel area. After an hr we done wif our massage, we continue to shop around the shop there, the pharmacy, the 24hr convenient shop before heading back to the hotel.
630pm - Wake up the princess to continue our shopping spree.... This time we go to Petailing Street. The night market there is completely the same as that of Bangkok. Mom said better we shop in Bangkok. So now you can guess where will be our next family trip haha. We stay at that area till about 1030pm before heading back to the hotel again.
This time the same as last night, Xuan doesnt wanna sleep and requested us to bring her down for supper again. This time since it's early we walk further down the street for our supper.... We end our night at about 1230am....

Sorry no pics coz i forgotten to bring my camera cable.... next time ya

Yesterday i had a nice weekend spending with Xuan.... How come no Jia? she is still small cant bring her yet in another few more months once she knows how to walk she will be wif us all the time... Morning time i drove mom to Tamu to buy fresh veggie then we went home... my planning was to go out all of us shopping & then eat out but mom said tiring as she said got to carry one (tat is jia) and then hold on (tat is xuan) she said she prefer to stay at home to do the cooking n relax instead... So jia stayed at home wif mom too... after settling down jia for her morning nap we went out... we went to the gadong food-court, d building which is used to be justoy... we had 5 portion of dim sum, a plate of chicken rice and a xl size of milo for 3 of us (xuan, pei n me)... after our breakfast we went to Jaya to get grocery... we went up to 1st floor to get xuan her swimming suit... once she saw the mickey mouse swimming suit she shouted there mommy i want tat mickey mouse nothing else she wants... so i got her tat....
then we went down to get grocery n we reached home at abt 1pm... feed her porridge; her lunch & then asked her to sleep but she doesnt want.... so i start to pack for xuan, pei n myself... get her float, get beverage so we dont hv to buy there... at 3pm we departed home to the swimming pool at anggerek... why anggerek & not the stadium one... coz tat's d only one that got kids pool....
xuan was enjoying herself there by going round the pool together wif her float... then she told me she doesnt wanna use the float wanna walk... she walk so fast tat she fall into the water... of coz she drank water n then cough cough there... it's ok coz me too not onli drink the swimming pool water but also beaches water... i dont hv anyone to teach me swimming but instead i got to learn by myself by gotten thrown into the pool or the beaches... me n my 2 cousin learn how to swim in tat way by ourself... our uncle throw us into the pool while my dad is the one who throw us into the beaches... those were the days.... so sweet memories... i wanna do tat to xuan but i dare not coz i dont wanna her be afraid of water first... she is still too young n still afraid when i wanna teach her to float by carrying her... she holds on to me so tightly... it takes time as xuan charateristic is more gentle n feminine.... hahaha..... it started to drizzle when i told them to get out from the pool for bit of snacks... i dont allowed them to go back to the pool eventhough i know tat they r so wanting to since there is still kids there... i dont want xuan n pei to catch a cold so telling her tat i will still bring her again next week... without hesitation, xuan agreed n so we went to take shower... as we done wif shower it rains like cats n dogs... good thing i got umbrella in the car....
when her dad came back to work she tells him wat she did in the pool... i force her to sleep early at ard 830pm coz she dint take her afternoon nap.... so till next week....
