^Sis hindi naman bawal makeup. Ako lagi rin ako nagdadala. Pero ang pinakamalaki/mabigat lang naman ay 30ml foundation. Minsan nagdala ako 50ml na tinted moisturizer, wala lang rin.

[phurple0515]

^^^sis msals, 1day allot mo sa Melacca trip niyo.  kelan na nga kayo pupunta? kasi pag peak for sure matraffic papunta don at pabalik ng KL.

ang bawal sa airport yong mga nasa 100ml na.  ako din nagdadala ng make up sa hand carry ko pero ok lang naman, kasi wala akong nasa more than 50ml. and wala akong liquid. just put your makeups in one bag (or ziplock).

[msals2007]

sis purple sa March 16 ang punta namin ng KL. Must see po ba talaga ang Melacca? Also if we will be spending a night in Malaysia, saan ba mas okay in terms of safety saka mas maganda, sa KL or sa Melacca na?

[michi247]

Malapit ba Mid Valley Megamall sa Bukit Bintang. Puntahan ko kasi sana yng cath Kidston na store.

[phurple0515]

^^KL ka na lang sis.  Melacca pwede ka mag-8hrs trip lang.

^ medyo malayo sis.  PWedeng mag-train (Bukit bintang to KL sentral, then Kl sentral to Mid valley via KTM) pero matagal kasi ang KTM so mas ok pa mag-taxi.  Don din yong murang Ipanema, don sa Why Pay More na shop sa L4, malapit sa cinema at tabi ng Puma shop.

[michi247]

^Thanks sis. Stupid question, yung sa train and bus ba, isang card lang gamit like yung EZ link sa SG? ano ba tawag nun sa KL?

Magtrain din kasi kami going to Batu Caves.

[phurple0515]

^ if touch and go na card hawak mo, pwede sa bus pwede sa train.  pero if the rapidkl card, its still not being used by the rapidkl bus.

Mga sissies from KL Central, how long would it take if I take the train to Batu Cave? Next week na alis namin wala pa ako napplan na itinerary, even hotels! Any suggestions for budget-friendly hotel? nasa 1,500-2,000 pesos per night ang budget namin for hotel. Wait, ibbreak down ko and tell me whatcha think:

(in Phil. Peso)
Hotel - 1,500 -2,000 per night
Food - 500 per day
Transportation - 500 per day
Souvenirs - 2,000
 
Okay kaya yung ganyang budget mga sissies? 3Days/2Nights kami ni bf. Ang budget namin each is 9k-10k incl. airport tax na dun. Thank you!

[phurple0515]

^ From KL Sentral to Batu CAves nasa 30 mins or less depende sa train, medyo mabagal kasi ang KTM Komuter na train e.

Check out if Sky Hotel in Bukit Bintang can be within your budget.  Do take note that next weekend (Jan 31-Feb3) is a public holiday here in Malaysia so baka mag-peak rates din karamihan.

[ditay]

Hello sisses! Been back reading, so far wala pa pong namention na magandang hotel sa Penang. Meron po
Ba kayong mairerecommend na reasonable rate na hotel? 2k or less. And one more thing, would you recommend a 1 night or 2 night stay in Penang?

[phurple0515]

^ Penang is good for the food   Famous Malaysian cuisines kasi haos lahat nagstart sa Penang.  You can check for hotels in Georgetown, that is the capital there.  Yong sa may Queensbay kasi walang masyadong mapapasyalan. 

[msals2007]

sis phurple0515, is it safe to travel to Malaysia now. Kasi madaming news dito ngayon regarding Malaysian government's crackdown against illegal migrants. Even daw those with proper documents are being detained and are being forced to admit that they are illegal workers. Totoo ba?

[phurple0515]

^ safe naman sis, esp. this year is their Visit Malaysia 2014 Tourism festival.  I haven't heard of any tourists na nadetain.  They are only checking for those TNT kasi tapos na yong amnesty nila for those staying here as TNT.

[msals2007]

that's good to hear. kasi gustong gusto ko talaga makita ang Petronas at Kuala Lumpur, hehe. Thanks

[myexandrei]

we'll be going to kl on feb 13-16 , till now [textspeak!] pa akong itinerary and hotel booking. Nabackread ko na thread 9 malaysia guide.

Question po may nabasa ako sa isang blog re: putrajaya tour meron daw sa kl sentral na nag ooffer ng tour for RM 1 lang, meron pa kaya non? And how much na kaya cost ngayon.
Sis phurple sinong agent [textspeak!] sa malacca tour? Nsa thread 8 ba yun?

Mas maganda ba talaga magstay sa bukit bintang than kl sentral?

Under renovation pa din ba genting and batu caves?

[missynoveltyshop]

I've been seeing na maganda magshopping sa Malaysia kasi mura? How much ang mura compared dito sa Philippines? Let's say, damit or perfume? Kahit ba mga branded items mas mura (Lacoste for example)?

[phurple0515]

^^ sis, parang first time ko makarinig ng RM1 na tour, hehe.  i don't believe it, baka RM100 sis.  malacca tour, you can check journeymalaysia.com pero they usually take booking in advance.

^ the reason na mura sis is because it can drop (esp. during sale season) as low as 70-90%.  ex. VNC shoes in Pinas is 2thou, dito nasa 300 lang.  gadgets are cheaper as well.  i would not say perfume is cheap, almost same price sa pinas din, mas mura pa sa HK ang perfumes.  Ipanema minsan makakakuha ka ng mga 200-300 pesos pag sale.

[msals2007]

Hindi ba sale season ng mga middle of March, hehe. Dun kasi ang punta namin. Sana may sale.

[michi247]

may malapit ba na convenience store sa Sky Hotel. Need kasi namin bumili ng distilled water and snacks.

[burberi]

^Same question, may grocery store ba na malapit sa KL Sentral; Hotel Sentral? TY!

@phurple0515 eeee talaga? kelan ang sale? gusto ko ng maraming shoes lol. Will be there march 2-6
