Malaysia/KL Guide (Thread 10)

[omneecka]

^yes sis, need mo papalit from peso to ringgit para may pang-gastos ka dun pagdating mo. pwede din naman na partial lang papalit mo, yung iba kahit pagdating mo na lang dun. sa Sanry's ako nagpapapalit sis or pwede din sa Czarina. sa dalawang yan lang ako nagpapapalit.

according to our sis here who is based inKL, sale month sis ang December sa KL, backread ka na lang sis for the exact dates of sale.

overall, KL or MY is one of my cheapest trips ever kaya ang sarap bumalik dito. 4th time ko na sa MY this December.

what hotel nagwo-work hubby mo sis? baka pwede mag-avail  ng discount sa kanya. hahaha! will be in Malacca din on our 1st day.

thank u!

Hi mga sis.

I'm planning to go to Langkawi on December, I need feedbacks from the sisses here who have gone there. Anong beach hotel maganda mag stay, wala pa ako ITI because I don't know where to start. After Langkawi balik KL to spend New Years eve. Appreciate your suggestions sisses.

sis, you can try Sunset Lagoon in Langkawi which is very near Ocean Adventure, tapos malapit din sa mga kainan.  Though I am not sure kung ok na yong katabi nila na resort kasi last year nagpunta kami, ginagawa siya kaya medyo maingay at di ganon kaayos ang beach front area.  Maganda ang place ng Sunset kasi accessible to all. 

Pero it depends din ano ang budget mo and ano ang gusto mo gawin sa Langkawi.  If nice beach (mas maganda pa rin mga beach natin sa pinas), I would say go to those private beaches.  Public kasi ang Sunset pero pwede ka naman magpunta sa area down the beachfront ng ibang resort katabi niya.

[phurple0515]

^ sorry sis, umuwi ako ng Pinas kasi so no time to check.  sana nag-pm ka na lang, hehe

anyway, your IT looks good.  although for the 2nd day, I mentioned in previous post that Batu Caves and Putrajaya are in the opposite sides of KL.  Then the malls are in between.  So either way, pwedeng Batu caves kayo sa morning then Putrajaya in the afternoon, or if ok lang sa inyo pabalik-balik, you can still go sa Day 2 schedule mo.

Regarding Petronas, I suggest you go for picture taking ng Morning, tsaka dapat meron din kayo sa gabi coz iba ganda in those times of the day.

for Day 1, if marami naman kayo i suggest mag-taxi na lang kayo.  baka umabot ng mga RM80-90 siguro sis esp. if Bukit Bintang kayo.  Pag shuttle bus naman, check niyo na lang if meron shuttle bus diretso sa hotel niyo.  Else, the bus that you are going to take is those going to KL Sentral, tapos from KL Sentral, sasakay pa rin kayo ng train or taxi to Bukit Bintang.  So mas convenient talaga mag-taxi esp. if me mga baggage naman kayo.

For Day 4, just go around Bukit Bintang area, marami kayong magagawa doon.  Else, from Bukit Bintang area, pwede kayo magpunta sa Masjid Jamek/Chinatown area.

[icegayle]

Sis, we changed our IT.

Day1
Will reach at 2pm, our hotel is in Bukit Bintang
Lunch and Rest since long flight
Then at night dinner and stroll lang along the area and picture sa Petronas

Day2
Will hire a car or taxi early morning to Batu Caves then after lunch Melacca, then balik na din sa hapon. Pwede kaya ito? Sinuggest lang ito ng friend ko na nasa Malaysia, sya na din bahala sa car na irerent madami daw nagpaparent doon at mas kabisado nila yun tourist spot. Di lang daw nya sure magkano aabutin, pero any idea how much kung whole day namin irent? Mga ilan oras kaya ang macoconsume sa Melaca?


Day3
Genting Highland
Chin Swee Temple

Day4
City Tour then Prayer sa Mosque (Masjid jamek) then deretso na sa airport.
Ano ba mas ok City Tour or Central Market?

[phurple0515]

^ City Tour kasi is covering the entire city, so mas ok na rin. just make sure na mahahabol niyo flight niyo.  consider niyo anong araw kaya papunta airport, baka peak days. 

anong araw din kayo pupunta ng Melaka?  matraffic kasi don.  from KL to Melaka is 2 hrs.  Minsan pag peak day don, matraffic in and out.  mas maganda sana kung 1 araw ang allotment niyo for Melaka pero kung me mag-da-drive naman for you, then should be ok. 

[icegayle]

^ Day 1 namin is Tuesday, Day 2 is Wednesday for Batu Caves and Melacca, will hire a car may magdi-drive na din na tagaroon. Then Day 3 for Genting which is Thursday and Then 4 yun City tour or Central Market which is Friday and 7:20pm is our flight.

[phurple0515]

^ sis, Friday within the city area to which you are having the city tour will be very jam.  Sobrang traffic pag Friday esp. if before and after lunch, and pag uwian na (from 4pm onwards).

I suggest if 7pm ang flight niyo, dapat nasa airport na kayo ng mga 5 or past 5, so umaalis na dapat kayo ng hotel niyo around 4pm. just to avoid traffic.

by the way, just to inform na medyo masama ang haze ngayon dito kaya if you have a small kid or elderly, make sure na me mask kayo  na dala.  same thing is happening din sa SG.  This is due to the forest fires in Indonesia.

[icegayle]

^ Sis kung Friday our Day4 is not doable any suggestion? Morning after breakfast we can start like 9am then aroung 12noon prayer sa Masjid. After ng prayer lunch and free time ulit then punta ng airport at 4pm.

[phurple0515]

^ then just roam around Bukit Bintang area, until your time to go to Masjid.  Note that super dami ng tao if prayer time nila and di ata pwedeng pumasok ang mga babae sa loob.  As a courtesy, just make sure to wear proper attire, unless you are a Muslim.  Are you one ba sis?

To all in Kuala Lumpur this week, note that there will be another rally in the city center this Wednesday, which is also a holiday here.   Try to avoid wearing red as much as possible kasi Red Shirts yong mga mag-ra-rally this time around.

Ingat lang!

[icegayle]

^Yes sis I am Muslim I can bring my Abaya too. Im sure there is a ladies prayer room inside the Masjid separated from gents.
We are travelling by 1st week of November, I hope na sana wala ng gulo.

[phurple0515]

^ a, should be ok then sis   hope you and your family will enjoy it here.

well, with all the issues on RM currency, issues on their government, sana nga matapos na.  plus super duper hazy pa for the past few days, it's getting worse each day dahil ilang araw ng hindi umuulan.

[icegayle]

^Awww ingat kayo dyan sis. And thanks again for answering all my queries.

[Madness]

kamusta ang haze today sis phurple0515? we have upcoming trip next, next weekend kase and worried ako na ma-apektuhan yung travel namin huhu. Is it so bad na talaga? Do you have any suggestion what we can do na lang if ever too bad na yung haze? like indoor theme park? sad naman kase

[phurple0515]

^ its the same like yesterday.  just try to use a mask na lang if you go out (usually ngayon nagpo-provide na rin ang hotels to their guest).  medyo maalikabok din nga e.  di lang usok naaamoy.

they were saying me cloud seeding ngayon, me ulan ata sa other parts pero dito sa KL city, wala pa rin.

[prehtsel14]

Sisses, pa comment please on my initial planned itinerary. Melaka at Cameron yung gusto kong puntahan, pero ano pa ba yung maisingit ko sa itinerary?

Day 1 - 4:35 PM dating ko sa KLIA, diretso Melaka, since hubby is there already, last day of company training. Safe ba mag bus alone at meron na bang direct from airport?
Day 2 - Melaka tour, then KL
Day 3 - Cameron Highlands, overnight
Day 4 - Cameron Highlands, back to KL
Day 5 - 6:30 PM pa yung flight namin, what else to do?

Thanks sisses!!! 😊

[redmicki_ea]

Ano ba ang magagandang pasalubong from KL? Pupunta kasi kami KL this coming weekend, pashare naman ng good deals like mura ba nike dito, or any brand d item at san area ang may factory price, Thanks mga sis!

[phurple0515]

^^ Day 5 you can just roam around KL sis.  marami ka naman mapupuntahan esp. if you will stay within city center.  And yes, safe mag-bus alone.  KLIA2 ka ba?  Me bus na sa KLIA2 to Melaka, you can check the schedule here: http://www.klia2.info/buses/bus-stop/malacca

^ Kami me factory price, pag sports shoes, hahaha   pag sports shoes, i would suggest you go to Studio R shops or RSH Shops sa mga mall, usually me sale items sila.  anyway, mura dito mga Vincci items, pasalubong can be cookies from Famous Amos or mga coffee dito.  me mga ongoing sale din naman minsan kahit hindi sale season though di ganon kalaki.  meron isang mall malapit sa airport (pero accessible lang by car) na factory warehouse daw. nadadaanan namin if we go to the airport.

[redmicki_ea]

Thanks sis phurple0515, pashmir at berryls chocolates lang kasi nababasa ko pasalubong e. E hinde naman type ni hubby yun.

[phurple0515]

mas maraming mabibili pag babae bibigyan mo hehe.  or else, tingin tingin ka lang sa mga mall, me mabibili ka rin.  kahit nga minsan sa grocery nila ok din.  if your husband is a coffee drinker, bili ka coffee dito.  or yon nga, mga cookies nila or something na he can use.

[prehtsel14]

^^ wow thank you sa link sis phurple0515 yes, KLIA2 ako. Kaso I'm having second thoughts on Melaka kasi parang maubos oras namin kaka byahe. I'm considering on having this itinerary instead:

Day 1 - KLIA 2 to Bukit Bintang na lang ako. Dun na lang kami magkita ni hubby.
Day 2 - travel to Cameron in the morning, overnight
Day 3 - travel to Sunway area in the afternoon
Day 4 - Sunway Lagoon
Day 5 - 6:30 PM pa yung flight namin, so ikot ikot muna
