Sis purple, base as map, hilera sya ng bintang warisan :-) sa pex ko sya nabasa.
sis ask ko na din yun sky express ano mas malapit sa kanila ni sky hotel sa mrt? ty po

[phurple0515]

^ sis, ang sky express malapit siya sa Plaza Rakyat station ng LRT.  Ang Sky hotel, malapit sa Bikit Bintang Monorail.  Location wise, i would suggest Sky Hotel.  Yan lagi ko sinusuggest na hotel if they want a Bukit Bintang hotel.

sis purphle hi! san nga po yung mydin na grocery and do we get there from bukit bintang area? thanks

[iwannaknow]

Sis purphle, gaano katagal yung travel time from KL airport to PJ? And magkano yun normally? Hihi. Thanks so much for the help!

[greyzie07]

thanks sis purple! naguguluhan po kasi ako, sabi sa ibang thread medyo malayo na daw sky hotel, hinayang din ako kasi dating namin 3 am ng jan 11 na tapos check out 12 pero still 2 nights. still undecided now.

[phurple0515]

sis maycon, pwedeng lakarin pero medyo mahaba from bukit bintang.  diretsuhin niyo lang yong main road ng Time Square, yong area ng Swiss Garden.  Tabi ng Kotaraya ang MyDin.  Pwede rin na from Bukit Bintang, sakay kayo ng monorail to Hang Tua, then from Hang Tua, lipat kayo ng LRT, then baba kayo ng Plaza Rakyat, lakarin niyo na lang palabas.  TUmbok non is MyDin na, tabi siya ng Kotaraya.  Magkasunod lang ang Hang Tua at Plaza Rakyat station ng LRT.

sis iwannaknow, siguro nasa 1 hr din or less.  baka nasa RM90 siya pag between 12am to 6am kasi meron extra 50% charge ganon na oras. 

sis greyzie. Sky hotel is conveniently located in Bukit Bintang.  Malapit siya sa Low Yat Plaza at Sungai Wang Plaza, which is malapit sa Bukit Bintang monorail staiton, can walk to Pavilion na rin where there is a walkway (with AC) going to KLCC.  Sky hotel express ang malayo sa bukit bintang area.

^ ilang mins walk from  the nest guesthouse to bb plazaor lot 10?? need pa ba magtaxi? any otherh otel  recommends? need to book na po eh. sis, patulong. ok ba sa the nest???

[phurple0515]

^ sis, if you have back read, most recommended ang Sky Hotel in Bukit Bintang.  or Rainforest Bed and Breakfast. 

actually if you are talking of THe Nest sa may Bukit Bintang, halos magkalapit lang ang The NEst sa Rainforest.  Pwede nito na siya lakarin to BB Plaza.  Mga 5 mins lang. 

Marami kasi ako  nakita na address ng The Nest sa google.  I assume you are talking of the one off Jalan Bukit Bintang

TigerAirways terminal in KL is in LCCT din, right? Appreciate if someone can confirm. TIA!

[phurple0515]

^ yes sis.  it's in LCCT.

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ Thanks sis phurple! I'll be back in KL March next year with my mom. Kaya eto planning stage ulit. Might do KL-SG again if I can score cheap tickets to SG. If not, we might do Malacca and Colmar Tropicale. I saw a friend's photo in Colmar, ang ganda. I'm torn, Colmar or Genting. Last time I went in Genting di ako masyadong nagandahan. Best part lang were the cable ride and buffet.

[phurple0515]

Mag-Colmar ka na lang, pero sa Colmar, wala masyado maiikutan kasi don e.  maliit lang yong sa french themed resort (plus expensive foods sa mga restos don).  then there's a Japanese garden din don and hve to take their shuttle to go there from Colmar main resort.  Ok na rin pampalipas oras.  There is actually a shuttle going there sa Time Square, pero you must book in advance.  We spent Xmas there overnight lang last year.

thursday na flight naman... badtrip naman ang dami kong nababasa online about sa mga nao-offload sa clark airport waaaah!  nakakapraning lang talaga.
i plan to bring the ff:
1. coe
2. bank statement of acct (payroll account ko)
3. birth cert
4. marriage cert
5. print out ng hotel booking (under hubby's name)
6. flight tickets (shempre!)
7. itinerary of activities in KL
8. letter of invite ni hubby <--- siya na ang magiinvite sa akin coz he's there for a business trip ng 2 weeks
9. print-out / photocopy ng passport ni hubby

ok na po kaya yun?  napapraning talaga ako mga sis, esp ang booking sa hotel under sa name ng hubby ko eh nandoon na siya sa malaysia since yesterday (sunday)

wala akong cash na dala. magdadala ba ako (in pesos)?  ang cash kasi namin, na kay hubby. we only have 80 ringgits for klia transit fare & cab fare to shang-putrajaya where hubby is staying.

[alexandrea]

^ Hehe, marami ka namang supporting docs, sis! Chances are, walang hihingiin sayo pagharap mo sa IO hahaha. Pero yun nga, mabuti nang girl scout at laging handa.

Dalhin mo na lang ang credit cards mo and ATM na Visa/MasterCard. Pag tinanong ka if may pera kang dala, sabihin mo na your hubby will finance most of the trip, but you also have accessible money in your bank account.

[a.k.a. HELGA]

Sis Phurple - yep, we might do Colmar na lang kesa Genting.


^^ ok na yan sis. Ako din last time when I went to KL thru Clark Airport, kuntodo dala ako ng mga docs just incase hanapin. Aside from the usual na RT flight tickets and hotel booking, dinala ko din company ID ko, employee certificate and even my ITR. LOL. Ang ending, passport and tickets lang ang tiningnan sa akin. I was asked a few questions by a male IO na di ko naman maintindihan kasi napakahina ng boses. Nung pinapaulit ko sa kanya, never mind daw. Wala pang 5 mins sis, tapos.

[supladitang cute]

Help naman.  From tune hotel Johor or legoland, how do we go to the bus station which will lead us to Singapore?

[Tickeled-Pink]

Hello Ladies!
I spent my birthday week ath KL. Nov 11 - 15.
I'm sharing my DIY Itinerary below. We were not able to do the Putrajaya tour cause we spent so much time shoping at Central Market - but other that that, completely hassle free yung trip. Very DIY friendly ang KL.
We also stayed in the The Nest in Jalan Angsoka and it is a superb place to stay, very central ang location plus Pinay ang receptionist - so that really helped us with the directions.

I will post more details of my trip later, pero feel free to look over the IT and copy/comment.

[phurple0515]

usually ang maraming tinatanong mga first time travellers esp. pag walang work.  pero pag me family ka naman sa pupuntahan mo ok na yon. 

^^ sis supladita, di ko kabisado sa johor e. maybe you can google the direction.

^ naku, baka nagkasalubungan pa tayo, hehe.  andito din sister ko last week, and i was off the whole week from work kasi madaming holidays.

[cutiepie]

[phurple0515]

^ yes sis same lang, pero minsan sa mga groceries me promo sila sa oldtown coffee.
