After 3 hours and 40 mins of flight we landed at kualalumpur airport (LCCT)

touchdown KL

It was 10:55am good thing we don’t have checkin baggage yet so we immediately cleared the airport. I was able to change my peso bills there to ringgits at RHB Money changer at airport's lobby.


Yeah!We are ready!

After clearing the malaysian immigration, we have a chance to familiarize the place.

We didn’t get a taxi or an airport shuttle to hotel since we want to explore Malaysia in a practical way. We want to know their culture by using their public transits and to feel their lifestyle.

There are available Bus ticket booths at the airport exit lobby so you can choose if you want a single ticket or roundtrip ticket. We availed roundtrip ticket since its cheaper than if we get 2 single trip ticket.

We saved 4RM for that.

Bus fare (airport) LCCT- KL sentral (back and forth) = 32RM

It was a one hour drive to the city.

Their buses has a leg supports so you wont get leg cramps. 

We had a chance to take a nap since we had an early morning flight.

*LIttle india


12:05PM.
We arrived at KL SENTRAL. There are a lot of public transportations there. Different trains or bus terminals to choose from.

Supposedly we are booked in a hotel near china town, but I chose to get a hotel (110RM) my hotel near the buses' terminal

12:00 noon.
We ate at a local restaurant there at Penyet Express for lunch and we want to taste their food.
We ordered a complete meal costs (34.1RM) including service charge. There are bloggers said to buy sealed drinks so we did.

After that we strolled around kl central. its like a mini shopping center with different train terminals. Then we saw the train station ( KTM komuter ) going  straight to Batu caves station, so we get a ticket (Kl sentral to batu caves- 4 RM)

 ( 7 stops to get there kl sentral to batu caves)

 Their trains were clean. Food, smoking, even PDA(kissing in public) not allowed.
There are cctv cameras inside

2pm.
We reached Batu caves. It was very humid, good thing I brought a wide brim hat for sun protection. We had a chance to take pictures there.

First, we don’t want to take pictures because there are many temples, maybe cameras were not allowed but there are no signs posted, so we did.

We walked for about 5 mins til we get there to the Batu caves. It has 272 steps.

I was amazed at the doves there they are not afraid of people unlike here.
There are a lot of doves and monkeys all around. I'm afraid of monkeys, because there are bloggers said to stay away from monkeys nor feed them because they might hurt you.

So we strolled around and reach 272steps.whew!
The caves were not well maintained.It was dimmed and stinky because of monkeys/bats' urine.

6pm back to hotel.Rest. Dinner. Had a chance to watch their tv shows..

HOTEL WITH DINNER (180RM)

Day 2  KUALALUMPUR

9am.we went to klcc where petronas twin towers located. We want to get the skybridge, but there queue lines starting to form. Actually we don’t know how to get there, we just explored..
When I saw from the train that it was near, we ride off the train at Gombak station for I thought its near already, but the officer said it was far we need to take a cab or get a train in the other block.
So we walked and finally saw the train to klcc. Good thing there is a Malay whose approachable and we have the same destination so he pointed us to get there.
Then after walking in subways, finally we saw the Petronas twin towers!

It was a very huge tower. I was amazed of its structure. It was metallic filled with led lights..
There is a mall at the base of the tower, Suria mall where branded shops located.

We strolled around the klcc park where dancing fountains at night time located and strolled around the childrens park where playgrounds and public pools located for kids.. the park’s flooring were like carpeted specially made for the kids. how cool was that!

view from the park. KL tower.


We rested for a while and took pictures at the park. We were very thirsty!
Good thing there's a drinking fountain where kids can drink too.
 We also had a chance to tour the city with GO KL bus, its a free shuttle ride with free wifi inside too!

After that we went to Suria mall to look for a supermarket  (ISETAN) to buy distilled water and snacks for our travel to Singapore. We also had our dinner there.

COSTS 50RM

Our departure time is 12mn so we are in a hurry going to the station. We keep on asking the directions how to get there. We didn’t rely on just one person to avoid misleading as well.

So we got a train going to a coach terminal crossing Singapore. Its the most complicated part, we dont know how to get there, we just ride a train then alight off to get another train.  Good thing we get there before it closes.

TOTAL FARE (rapid KL, monorail train  and AERO coach)
=110RM

FOOD= 60RM

During the trip, we slept. The coaches were very comfortable.
We are expected to get there early in the morning. 5.5 - 6 hours travel time

We reached johore bahru, Malaysia. it was a checkpoint that you need to get your passport stamped and cleared the Malaysian immigration. That's the SOP so you shouldn't missed it.
No cameras allowed there.

Then at woodlands checkpoint, that is for Singapore immigration before entering to Singapore. Actually I don’t know what to write in the white card that you need to fill up. I don't know our exact destination address in Singapore so I just wrote there Resorts world Sentosa. The immigration officer was very strict. After the short interview, I was cleared! Whew!

DAY 3. SINGAPORE
5:30am.
We arrived Singapore at Kovan city. This is the worst part, we don’t have any SG dollars yet and the money changer were still closed.. so we were hungry.
Good thing I bought a loaf of bread and a liter of mineral water before we left at KL, so we survived!

We waited for money changer there to open till 11am and just strolled around kovan city.. then we used public toilet to freshen up and had a chance to study the SMRT (railway transit).
Singapore is a very clean city filled by many cctv cameras.

We search the google maps and even asked the train officer how to go to sentosa. Actually I don’t have any idea where to go.. haha. Since my ipad batt was already empty. Badly, our itineraries were there on my tablet so I only remembered sentosa so they pointed us to sentosa walk..

LUNCH at a noodle house bought crab sticks, pizza bread (20SGD)

TRAIN TO HARBOUR POINT. (4.4SGD) (photos taken from my cellphone)

Since it was our first time, we walked until we reached vivo city then had a very very long walk to the sentosa-> universal studios-> merlionpark.

10pm. ride off the mrt to bugis station.

 Dinner at bugis costs SGD20. We were very tired and exhausted. We would supposed to get a hotel in bugis, but it was full.

Note: fare to kualalumpur was cheaper if you buy at johor bahru, malaysia in ringgits because if you bought it at singapore in sgd, its like double price.

Ride off bus 170 to larkin.( SGD 5) Bus will drop you off to woodlands to clear the immigration, stamped the passport and surrender immigration card together

Ride bus again to Johor Bahru,Malaysia to stamp passport again and clear immigration.

We decided to get another taxi, the driver we got was good and advised us to be careful.
