Grand Vacation 2013 Part 2: Malaysia!

Hi All! This next post is about my trip to Malaysia. Our First destination? Johor Baruh! ^_^
 
Johor Baruh Malaysia is about an hour or 2, bus ride from Singapore.
 
Compulsory tourist picture upon arrival here
 
Above picture shows my travel companions for this trip excluding my cousin who took this picture.


The main reason for our impromptu trip in Johor was for us to watch “the lone ranger” in cinema and to eat at “Nandos”. Also, “ma’am and sir” (couple behind me) wanted to have their massage in Johor.
 
First activity; Foreign Currency Exchange (For Shopping!)

Lunch in Nando's

While they were buying the cinema ticket, I was busy having my picture taken! XD

Massage Chair!
 

Before returning to Singapore, We had our snack in Rotiboy and tried the new Starbucks coffee (I think it’s the one with pudding).

They even gave us a free Starbucks card (but it can only be used in Malaysia). When you activate the card, Starbucks will give you a free Grande drink. Since we will be going to Kuala Lumpur (KL) the following day, we opted to activate the card and claim the free drink in KL (Hey it’s free! Why not take it right?! XD).

The next day, we flew to KL. ^_^
If you were not able to arrange for land transfers from your hotel (like us) you can take the bus from KL airport to the central terminal and ride the train to your destination.

We paid 14 Malaysian ringgit (around P180) for a round-trip ticket for the bus (Airport-Central terminal-Airport).


On our way to the City!
 

Looks like NLEX?! XD

After checking-in to our hotel, we went to our first destination in KL. Petronas Tower!
We used the most popular public transportation, “rapidKL”, Kuala Lumpur Train. ^_^

Petronas Twin Tower!


Cross roads? Which way to go?!



Just because we can’t get enough of Nando’s! Here it is again for Dinner in Kuala Lumpur. *o*



Morning mirror picture before we go out shopping. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a picture of the buffet breakfast in Silka Maytower Hotel. T_T

And not much picture during our shopping trip (well its shopping time! We didn’t have the time to get pictures. XD)

 
KWC and Central market are the two well-known shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur. KWC is like the MBC center of Bangkok and the 168 Mall of Philippines. This is where you can buy cheap fashion clothes. While, Central Market is where you can buy all kinds of souvenirs (Pasalubong!).


We used the free shuttle service to go to these two malls. Picture while waiting for the shuttle. ^_^
After Shopping, we had our Snack/Dinner in KFC while waiting for our bus to KL Airport. And claimed our free Starbucks drink.

Hello Singapore! (for the nth time) Lol! XD

Thanks for reading my post. Till next time! ^_^
