KL in a nutshell

I have to make this as concise as possible cos still have to take a nap. I'm currently at Plaza Premier Lounge and the clock ticks.

Equator hotel...

+ Very organised.
+ Lots of amenities (food, dvds, internet, drinks). The last 2 aren't free though.
+ Friendly staff.
+ Poo poo water blast spray.
+ Working shower heater.
+ Nice ambience. Green and Blue - my favourite colours.
+ Good location. Near Imbi Monorail. Few stops to KL Tower and Petronas. Time Square within reach.
- Mossies.
- Weak airconditioning.

Some of my travel trivias and random experiences:
*I realised that Bahasa Malaysia sounded a lot like Filipino. Really!! I somehow understood what the locals were talking about.

*10 out 10 people talk to me in the local native tongue.

*One word I learned: Keluar. Its not translated and my curiousity has led me to learn what it meant.

*Premium toilets cost 2 ringgit. Only to find out that the toilet seat is strangely flat and digusting to poo.

*I have poo'ed like >5 times today. Most embarrasing was that Premier toilet (mentioned above). So many blast farts. And the attendant was listening!!

*I haven't eaten any Malaysian food during my KL visit. Got a bad impression with the restaurant I should have eaten. Maybe cos I look poor. But literally I am. My budget was only USD 100 for everything, including accommodation.

*Didn't ride any cabbie.

*Walked and walked and walked. First day I covered the muslim mosques. china town. KL tower and Petronas. Not to mention I walked all the way home. Imagine - KL Towers to Petronas and to my Backpacker home at Imbi.

*Have so many iterations of KL tower just because there's no one to take pictures of me. Its even raining for crying out loud.

*Wasn't able to do my three options for the last day. namely: Batu Cave, Flying Fox, Lake Garden. Just because my time was exhausted queueng up for the bridge ticket all morning. and going back there by mid-afternoon.

*Never did I realise that the budget terminal is more than an hour away from the city. I was so conservative that I ended up waiting for 5 hours in the airport.

*Exceeded my budget cos I toured so many shopping malls. Used up my AUD and PHP reserves cos I ended up shopping!

Have heaps of stories to tell but rather keep it in a format of my cool experience rather than narrative timelines. This is the most concise I can get. haha... That's how much I enjoyed KL. Will definitely be back in Malaysia to do Teman Negara and Lengkawa. probably climb Mt Kota Kinabalu.

Day 1 - Singapore

Quick note:
I have to make this blog concise and quick as I only have 8 minutes left on the ticking clock. Plus I have to poo before I go to budget terminal. I'm currently at Mcdonald's in Changi Airport.

Cebu Pacific/T3 experience
Very smooth and quick process. Can't imagine that the terminal isn't being used by other international carriers. Why? It seems its only 40% operational. NAIA is so clustered and needs total improvement. I finished the whole check-in process within 30 minutes.

Had my dinner at some local resto. Only to have Tuna sandwich and instant noodles. Their lame excuse was the brown out. Shesh. After 20 minutes my seatmate already have nice yummy meal. Not good.

Cebu Pacific is not bad. I was able to sleep well and the landing was not bad. Though I have occasional fright that it would crash. Talk about downgrade from Singapore Air's business class to a budget airline.

Sing's Budget Terminal
I arrived the budget terminal of Singapore at 2350H. Its not too bad really. Its even better than our very own T3. So many shops and free internet. Got free bus shuttles to/from T2.

I slept at Plaza Premier Lounge. It was good minus the snoring neighbour. Their internet pamplet isn't updated. I was overbudget by $5.

Plaza Premiere Plaza/McDonalds
Funny story, I put my ipod on cos of the noisy snoring dude on my left. But I slept. When my alarm went on, I got startled. I even went to the reception speaking in Filipino. Haha... "Nag-snooze na po." Oops. Good thing she's also Filo. Had a nice bath. Free lemonade. Ate at Mcdonalds. McGriddles? A bit confused what it was at first. Because its the normal sausage muffin with egg and cheese. But when I took the first bite. I realise whats different. The bun was made of pancakes.

And now ready to go to my next journey.
