Day 8 (Putrajaya Drive-By)

We were all awake by 2 AM. We checked out by 3:45. As we approached the lobby, Badri was already waiting for us. He offered his service the first day (Lake Garden day) we met him. I was a bit reluctant to push through with it at first, as his offer was just too good [...]

Day 7 (Where to Now?)

This was supposed to be Batu Cave day. But with our Malaysian Ringgits running low, we got our heads together, after breakfast, and discussed how to get this last day into good use. I could have mentioned to watch the monkeys outside and it could have made my day. With the aide of our trusty [...]

Day 6 (The Twin Towers)

A tourist’s bragging rights for visiting the Twin Towers isn’t complete if he hasn’t been to the Sky Bridge. So today as discussed since our day 1, we convinced our lazy bodies to move out of the mattresses, leave the cold bedroom behind and brave the hot and humid Malaysian climate outside so we’ll be [...]

Day 5 (Taman Tasik Perdana)

Since we arrived late at the Lake Garden the last time, we decided it would be a good idea to explore it more by early morning. And so today is that day. We’re going to have a picnic. Once we finished breakfast, another cooking session began. Noel cooked the typical Filipino picnic food, pansit. Peanut [...]

Day 4 (Chow Kit & The Monkeys)

Just RM8.0 away (via teksi) from our hotel is Chow Kit. This is where the overwhelming modern urban KL seems to soften a bit. This area is just the ordinary wet market where one would find cheap produce, meat (unfortunately, if you’re looking for pork, this is not the place). Filipinos like us will surely [...]

Day 3 (The Hottest Race)

This is the day! This is what we came for. With my red shirt on and my wife donning a white shirt with a bicycle print on it (a bad sign?), we readied and waited for 11 am. It’s our shuttle’s pick up time (we paid a return trip to and from Sepang, which costs us [...]

Day 2 (Haggling It Out)

After a breakfast of a variety of bread we bought last night, we were off to the Central Market. The place looks from outside a bit old and just the ordinary cheap market that is common in the Philippine provinces. Entering it however would change all that impression. Inside is mixture of souvenir items, watches, [...]

Day 1 (My 1st Nasi Lemak)

The one-hour trip and late afternoon arrival at the hotel sent our stomach grumbling & begging for food. For several moments though, it all disappeared once we got to check in on our room. Or shall I say our home for the next 7 days. Calling it a room would be a misnomer as it [...]

Been To Malaysia…O Really….

It’s been almost a month already when we had our vacation in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Even until now, pauses in between work & other activities, I would find myself wondering if I have really got to be in Malaysia. It was as if the 7-day trip went by so fast as an F1 car would [...]
