[supladitang cute]

Sis London, thanks sa suggestion. Pero we'll take a plane to Johor on day 2 na then the following day to sg. Ask ko Lang po mga how much ang taxi ng 2am from kl sentral to bukit bintang kasidiba may addtl rates pag gabi.

[london]

^ oh okay. check niyo na rin yung time niyo kasi if kl to lcct, mga 1-1.5hrs pa then yung dapat 45min before flight e andun na kayo.

[phurple0515]

^^ taxi fares from 12mn to 6am have an additional 50% charge to the metered fare.  if let's say ang fare from KL sentral to Bukit bintang is RM15, so plus 7.50, RM22.50 lahat.  Di ko sure sis kung 15 or less than that ang taxi fare from KL sentral to Bukit bintang pero by that amount siguro.  please take note that you just go to the queue of the taxis sa may UG.  akyat ka ng escalator malapit sa mcdo sa loob ng kl sentral.  sarado na yong kiosk ng taxi coupon don pero the taxis queuing there will get from you the correct fare.

pag sa mga nakaabang lang sa me babaan ng mga pasahero sa bus, usually nangongontrata yon.  alsways go for those sa mga me taxi coupons.

^ Thanks a lot girls! We'll be leaving on the month end. Sana may akong mabiling murang gadgets, chocolates and shoes. From the starmart bus - golden mile complex, lalakarin na lang ba on the way to la comme?  Last day namin is putrajaya kaya lang worry ko baka mahal ng cab, sana may mga tours na mura lang. any recommends?

[supladitang cute]

^ sis sa SG sa starmart bus parang KL lang nakalagay dun sa mga destinations, dadaan ba to sa berjaya times square and sis phurple ano yung UG na sinabi mo?

[isabella]

miss kl... so much memories... want to go back.

[supladitang cute]

Sorry, dami pahabol, What's the best teh tarik that I can bring home? Where to buy/dine?

[beachpatrol]

^Aik cheong milk tea sa mga grocery

[phurple0515]

^ teh tarik.  try the Boh brand.  i like it more than Aik Cheong naman  

yong KL sis ang kunin niyo na Starmart, magbababa pa rin yan sa Berjaya Time Square.  Yon sa SG from Golden Mile to Le Comme, di ko sure sis e.

and UG is Upper Ground   basta, pag nadaanan mo na McDo sa loob ng KL Sentral, akyat ka don sa escalator, me exit na malaki don, medyo dark na yong place kasi patay ilaw ng mga stalls, pero andon sa mismong exit yong queue ng 'legal' na taxis sa KL sentral.

thanks so much sis purple and those who will reply, so sorry we do not have much time to back read.

[phurple0515]

^ hi sis. here's my reply:
1.  Feasible pero the only thing that i am thinking twice is your length of stay sa Genting.  2pm na kayo aalis ng Genting?  10 am ang opening ng theme park, etc sis e.  Will just going around the indoor be enough for you?

2. From Bukit Bintang, you can either:
 - take the monorail, baba kayo ng Bukit nanas then just walk straight to Petronas.
 - from Bukit Bintang, lakarin niyo to Pavilion where there is a walkway going directly to petronas.  A long walk but a very nice one if you want more sight seeing of the city,etc.

3.  As i have mentioned in #1, Genting theme parks only open at 10am.  YOng mga shops naman sa indoor, 10 am din kahit mga shops nila don.  It is ok to buy the package on the same day as long as konti lang tao at yong makukuha niyo na schedule na bus trip is ok for you.  pero kung ang punta niyo naman is Nov. 28, ok naman kasi bukod sa it's not a holiday that day, it's a weekday.

4.  from Bukit bintang, take the monorail, baba kayo ng KL sentral mismo.  lakad ka lang konti to go sa mismong KL sentral bus station.

5.  From Bukit bintang, pwedeng lakarin (though medyo mahaba din). Or you can take the monorail to Maharajalela.  This one i am not sure ha kasi we just usually walk from Bukit Bintang to Chinatown.

pag train kasi medyo paikot ka pa e.  pag lakad, diretso lang nong main road sa may Time Square.

6. from Bukit bintang, take monorail to KL sentral.  from kl sentral, interchange to KTM komuter to Batu Caves.

thank you so much sis purphle for your very quick reply. re: genting, will check with my friends if its ok with them that we will only be staying there until 2 pm only. thanks again.

[phurple0515]

^ ok sis.  baka kasi wala kayo magawa don kung 10 pa magbubukas talaga lahat.  yong 9 nga non na punta namin wala, nagaantay lang kami sa labas ng entrance ng theme park, sa loob naman, sarado pa din mga shops.

[supladitang cute]

sis phurple kaw na talaga! thanks sa pagsagot sa mga queries namin!! you're heaven  sent.

[mhae_0615]

^ wala pa sis, usually SG ang inuuna sa launching ng apple products. 

yong legoland, di pa ko nakakapunta e. maybe next year pa kami magpunta.  night market, meron din, sa chinatown, lagi yon meron.

thanks so much sis! 

[Maycon]

if that's the case sis purphle ano kaya pwede namin gawin from 7-9? assuming 9 kami pupunta sa genting in time for the 10 am opening? btw, do you know of other means to contact star shuttle? i email them using enquiry@starwira.com pero wala reply. we intend to avail their services in going to sky hotel from bukit bintang. wala kasi yung sky hotel sa list nila. if ever ok [textspeak!] ba na dun na lang kmi sa lcct bumili ng ticket at wala ng reservation? thank you so much sis purphle for being so active in this forum.

[phurple0515]

^ <b>sis maycon</b>from 7-9, kung wala pa kayo ticket na go genting, yon na lang yong time na bumili kayo, tapos ikot ilot na lang kayo sa kl sentral after.  saglit lang naman yon e.  or kung maaga ang trip niyo to Genting, then siguro don na lang kayo antay ng oras, at least andon na kayo.

regarding star shuttle, alam ko sis di sila sa sky hotel magbababa kasi papasok yon ng bukit bintang e.  pwede siguro kayo ibaba sa melia hotel tapos lakarin niyo na lang or kung magbababa sila sa federal hotel, yon mas malapit pa.  im not that sure kung pwedeng bumili ng ticket ng walang reservation sis

mga sis, welcome.  sensya na lang kung minsan late ako mag-reply.  pero at least i feel closer at home when i'm in the forum, hehe

start of the Year end sale this sat! and it's a holiday here on Tuesday (Nov. 13) and thursday (Nov 15).

OT: I might not be able to answer your queries on time that day (malamang sa gabi na lang), kasi darating sister ko, susundo pa ko airport

[Maycon]

one last question sis purphle sorry ang dami ko tanong. yung go genting golden package san banda yun binibili in kl sentral? me kasama na ba bus ticket dun? thanks again for being so patient sa lahat ng queries namin.

[phurple0515]

^ sis, sa mismong kiosk ng genting bus, me area don sa basement kung san mga bus naka-station.  here's the details on what is included:

http://www.gogenting.com.my/en/express/klsentral.htm

so mamimili ka dyan alin kukunin mo. nasa link na ano ang kasama

[wkt]

sis phurple, may question po ako ulit:
we'll be staying at Renaissance Hotel sa KL and i know monorail-bukit nanas station ang pinakamalapit na train station.  ask ko lang po sana if pwede din kami dumirecho sa LRT-Dangi Wang station to/from the hotel para di na kami mag-interchange sa KL Sentral to get on the LRT line.  malapit din siya according to googlemaps, pero kasi hindi ko sure kung may walkways ba na pwede daanan if maglalakad kami. (baka mamaya puro highway pala dun!)
