^^ meron din famous AMos sa KL sentral, sa Bukit Bintang also (Sungai wang plaza).  if i'm not mistaken, meron na rin sa KLCC.

[pret_ty68]

^
Meron nga sis na famous amos sa klcc nakita ko yun nung last na punta ko. parang dun sya sa area na malapit sa sephora sinuggest ko lang kay sis saskia yung sa genting just in case di sya makagala sa klcc.

[phurple0515]

^ but if they will be in Petronas, then pwedeng daanan ang Famous Amos don. Mas masarap talaga pag newly baked yong cookies rather than those na nabibili sa mga groceries na naka-pack na.

[purpleish]

yiippeeee back to GT nanaman ulet hihi parang naninibago ulet ako ngayon gumawa ng IT, lately puros staycation ang mga pinag gagawa namen ng family ko... mga sis just want to ask kung ok kaya yung ganitong IT..

June 4 (wed): Manila to Malaysia - arrival: 5:50pm
June 5 (thur): Batu Caves / Genting / Chinese Temple
June 6 (fri): City Tour / Shopping
June 7 (sat): Malacca (overnight)
June 8 (sun): Malacca to KLIA2 (airport)
June 9 (mon): madaling araw ang alis - departure: 1:20am

Accomodation: i'm torn between Rainforest & Bukit Warisan ang concern ko lang is gusto ko sana yung affordable kasi most of the time nasa labas den naman, clean and safe, malapit sa lahat sa shoppingan and most important madali lang mag train since kasama namen daughter ko and mahirap pag may bibitin... or baka meron pa kayo mga sis marecommend...

still backreading pero sana meron makapag bigay para ma-clear-clear lang sa mind ko hehe... TIA mga sissy's muuaahhh

[phurple0515]

^ sis, which Bukit Bintang yong sinasabi mo kasi Bukit Bintang is the name of the place where Rainforest is situated?

[purpleish]

^ sis rainforest or sky hotel na lang pala sis ...mas pabor sana saken ang sky hotel kasi malapit sa shopping area kaso sayang wala silang breakfast maki-breakfast kasi ako hihi ...pero incase kung sa sky hotel is there any mcdo na malapit dun...

tingin mo sis ok na kaya itong draft IT ko na mention ko above??

Ito na den sana follow up question ko, sensya na mga sis medyo long hihi

- starting May 2 ata sa bagong KLIA2 na ang airport na lalandingan ng CP... gaano kaya kalayo from KLIA 2 to Sentral Station??

- Hindi ba risky kung from Malacca 12pm ang alis namen then travel to KLIA 2.. 1am kinabukasana pa naman ang byahe namen so ok lang mag patay oras sa KLIA 2 baka meron den siguro mga shops, i just hope meron starbucks..

- Ang pag kuha ba ng taxi madali lang tipong pwede ka pumara sa kahit saan tulad den dito sa pinas or may certain area lang??

- From Rainforest pano makarating ng walkaway going to Petronas??

- Meron bang malapit na Mydin sa Bukit Bintang??

- Anung oras ang operationg hours ng pavilion??

[huit]

From Rainforest, you cn take cab to Petronas, ride the free shuttle or kung masipag ka you can walk. hehe

[phurple0515]

^^ me mcdo sa bukit bintang sis so pwedeng to start your day paglabas ng sky hotel, mcdo muna kayo tapos diresto ng monorail na.

I won't really suggest taking the cab to petronas, kasi super traffic don esp. after office hours and morning peak hours.  walk na lang kayo sa skybridge, me a/c naman e it's just a mere 7-10 mins of walking.

[saskia]

Update on our MY trip. Sg-my kase kami on aug 16-24. Aug 16 ng gabi, we'll catch a train na to my. Hindi ko alam kung ok yung iti ko kase medyo kulang pa ko sa research but here goes:

Day 1:
- genting
- petronas at night

Day 2:
- batu caves

Pabalik na din kami ng sg on the 2nd night via train ulit. Ano pa pwede namin isingit? Medyo nalilito din ako kung pano sasakay sa train or bus around KL. Wala pa din kami accommodation pero sana mura lang since tulugan lang. Preferably malapit sa mga stores and food. Thanks sa makakapagbigay ng input. ☺️

Hi! Worth it ba to purchase Myrapidkl flexi ticket good for 3 days if we're planning to roam around kl and genting? I understand we'll take ktm komuter train to batu cave which is not myrapidkl line.

First plan kasi namin to take HOHO pero baka matagalan kami sa pagiintay ng bus eh.kaya DIY tour na lang kami. We'll stay naman around kl sentral. Tia.

[phurple0515]

^ ibang tiket nga ang gamit ng KTM sis.  I'm not particularly sure how much yong 3 day pass ng RapidKL pero if you intend to use the train frequently, then i think it would be ok to purchase it.

[mommycute46]

I have a solo trip this November to KL & SG. I am supposed to go to El Nido but I changed my plan  . First solo travel ko to. Sana kayanin ko.

I will be in KL mga past midnight na (this is based from my ticket). Is there a train already by 1AM going to SG? Or maybe bus? Or what time is the earliest I can take a train/bus going to SG?

Sorry no time to back read. Nasa office kasi ako  .

Thanks.

[phurple0515]

^ bus sis last trip is past 11pm.  i'm not sure with the train though.  note that the airport in KL is far from the city so you would need to take the bus going to KL sentral.

[marie05]

^ ibang tiket nga ang gamit ng KTM sis.  I'm not particularly sure how much yong 3 day pass ng RapidKL pero if you intend to use the train frequently, then i think it would be ok to purchase it.

i think RM25 for 3 days. 3 days naman kami nasa KL eh. and mostly myrapidkl bus or KL komuter train ang means of transpo around KL, if im not mistaken. di pa kasi ako tapos magresearch ng mga pwede puntahan. for now, eto pa lang nasa iti namin:

batu cave
genting
berjaya time square (because of their roller coaster hehe)
petronal tower
kl tower
bukit bintang
merdeka square

[greenarrowbabe]

closed na pala LCCT...

mga sis, how far is KLIA2 to Sky Express Hotel? then from the hotel to Petronas?

gusto sana namin makita Petronas by night kaso worried ako baka hindi namin maabutan yung may lights. til what time ang lights dun? dating kasi namin sa KLIA2 6PM na.

[phurple0515]

^ KLIA 2 is opened last May 2 so nagstart na don ang Tiger Airways, Malindo and Cebu pacific.  Air Asia will start there on May 9.

KLIA 2 to the city itself, including Sky Hotel is still 1 hr depends on the traffic as well.  nasa gitna lang kasi ng KLIA1 and LCCT ang KLIA 2.

Petronas naman switches off their lights 11 pm ata.  not just sure.

[greenarrowbabe]

^ yay! thanks for the quick response.

good to know kung until 11pm pa yung lights. kasi kung 6pm pa ETA namin sa KLIA2, I assume mga 8PM pa kami makakadating sa Hotel. May time pa for dinner.

another thing, open pa ba talaga ang Genting Highlands?

Genting is still open as per my research. Outdoor themepark and some part of the indoor themepark is closed. You may check http://www.rwgenting.com/en/themepark/index.htm for details

[phurple0515]

yes, open pa naman.  my officemate just went there the other week.  Me part lang talaga sa outdoor theme na close if umuulan.  ngayon kasi umuulan pag hapon dito sa KL. pero saglit lang naman.

[blazingsheena]

okay ba pumunta sa sunway lagoon?
