alahai... tanya macam nak pergi esok lusa .... anjat akakkkkkk

second time ka KL ...tempat berubah banyak...the twin tower is awesome,went for the tour ambik gambar  kat 41 floor...nice view ....

ni shopping centre punya lah besar...matz jalan pun tak larat.went to lazard restaurant facing the fountain,masok around 6 plus tak banyak orang.had dinner for 7 people,cost around RM 140.if you want peace and quiet,this place is nice to relax.shopping wise.matz tak interested sangat.all the expensive,exclusive brand yang mahal2 semua ada kat sini.yang tempat jewelry,dia punya security guard ada 2 orang...dia orang were holding shot gun,matz tengok pun takut.ni tembak gajah pun meninggal...apa lagi kita.

kalau nak buat picnic dengan budak2,banyak jugak fast food joint.kalau nak save cost,you go to cold storage kat basement dia ada jual BBQ chicken macam black pepper style sikit,on the side ada jual salad.cheap and good.the whole chicken is around RM8.99 the salad you boleh pack in the container for rm 2.40, canned drink is cheaper...around 0.99 sen.sana ada banyak tempat duduk2...so sit down and relax.

matz ada kenal this guy,dia jual biscuit depan restaurant.kedai nya macam push cart gitu.you naik escalator from cold storage nanti you will see him.the kedai punya nama SHAZZ DELIGHT.kalau nak bawak balik kasi friends this is just nice.packaging is presentable.one long box is around rm 14.00,good value for money.

this is matz punya opinion aja....

chow kit road...nothing much here.i went there just to see what it really is.tempat macam sungei road.alot of shop selling clothes.ada one shop selling suit,ni dia punya jacket aja.ada jugak stall selling second shoes like red wing,timberland example like tracking shoes.tak banyak tourist kat sini.

petaling street...kalau nak cari barang2 imi,ko carik kat sini.bag,jam this is the place to be.ada jugak fruits stall.dia punya drinks take away or drink on the spot is rm 1.00 per cup.ko try dia punya mata kucing sedap.first time jugak makan tau weh (soya bean curd) dia punya syrup is black in colour.tak try rugi.kalu nak buy watch,bargain hard for 50 %.dia offer watch tu matz,bukak mulut rm 185...you acar2 and walk away dia offer rm 95.matz tak beli...i only want to see places.for souviners...tempat mahal sikit.stall holder tak friendly sangat.ada banyak benda2  magnetic  yang ko lekatkan kat fridge.kalau the small twin tower punya replica sini pun mahal.matz suggest you buy your small souvenirs kat central market.

central market......to me prices are better here.i saw one souvenir only rm 10.00,kat petaling street rm 18.00 kat petaling street you bargain sikit,stall holder macam piss off.kat central market,stall holders friendly.boleh tawar2.

for key chains:
kalau nak beli key chain yang boleh tulis nama2...you go kat CANAANS GIFT.
address is K - 83.central market.the guy is friendly.key chain yang macam mall surf board only rm 2.00 dia tuliskan nama lagi.ada macam2 wooden stuff kat sini,yang boleh ko beli for friends back home.cheap and good.please,look for JULIAN RAJ.

for key chain:
for keychain yang macam pewter ko carik kat ACTOP TRADING.address
K-78...central market.ni kedai,apek nya best.key chain pewter yang 6 in a set...ko bargain boleh dapat less than rm 20.00, kat lain kedai bukak mulut,price rm 25 to rm 30

for porcelain stuff:
go to CASTER WORLD  address G 25.friendly chinese girl,price is cheap and good.went to our bazaar kat geylang,harga around S$15....kat sini can buy under RM 15.00.dia punya flower stuff very nice and cheap.

petaling street / orang cina panggil - chi chong kai  -

tempat ni paling hidup bila waktu senja ke malam.

Kalo weekend lagi packed teruk...

So, kalo korang bawak beg cam haversack ke apa ke....
aku suggest korang pusingkan bag ke depan. :kerek::kerek:


Kat sini expert pickpocket ramai...

even though korang tunggu teksi, kat teksi stand tu, yang kat Burger King tu kan...pun still baik2 tengok2 beg korang....
Mungkin yang Q sama ngan korang tu bukan nak naik teksi, tapi cuba nasib dapat pickpocket atau bukak zip beg korang masa korang tengah syok happy2.

Walaubagaimanapun, ni tempat best gile la....:clap::clap::clap:

tu pun kalo korang pandai tawar harga la...kalo tak tengok2 je....cam aku.

lagi satu benda -
Kat simpang kat sebelah dalam tu kan?

Mesti korang perasan ada AIR MATA KUCING punya stall.
Adoi...popular siot....tak henti2 orang beli... berebut2.
Nak minum sana dia taruk kat dalam mangkuk aluminium gitu...

tapi korang beli packet ikat punya lagi best....

Kalo korang pegi Petaling Street jangan lupa mesti try ni Mata Kucing.

deaf4ever

hari ni punya Straits Times.


kalo korang perasan, ada special issue...

28 page NATAS TRAVEL 2004...

best jugak...ada banyak artikel pasal jalan2 satu dunia....

Aku tak dapat pegi, dapat baca tengok gambar pun dah best la.

this is my experience:

jam,dari dia punya out laying area sudah jam.nak masok kl pun lebih banyak jam.i didn't think the jam is bab.but ok lah,first hand experience.
sampai kat bus depot,taxi driver banyak sudah come to matz.dia orang kata traffic jam very bad,so tak nak pakai meter.dia kata, to reach my hotel about 45 minutes to one hour journey.dia bukak mulut,rm 20.00 to my hotel.
budak2 pun dah penat,since i need 2 taxi,matz ok lah.first2 jam,after that smooth sailing,sampai hotel in 15 minutes.so talk to taxi driver,tadi cakap jam but tak jam sangat boleh kurang?tengok muka dia tak happy...taxi pulak pirate taxi.......sekali dia bawak geng.....abis matz....in the end terpaksa lah pay rm 20.00.dah kena con.
lagi satu pulak,from chow kit nak ka central market.driver tak nak on meter.dia kata flat rate rm 10.dia kata jam banyak,tak boleh masok kena buat illegal turn and so on and so on.......dia kata jauh jugak.dah naik taxi...sekali tak jauh.kena con lagi.

but the rest of the taxi drivers very good and honest.matz kasi lah 1 to 2 ringgit extra for each trip.one the whole ok lah except for some black sheep.you people kalau naik taxi,try to go for the meter cab...or yang tak nak pakai meter ,tell them boleh kurang sikit,kalau tak ada jam.

Matz soalan untuk ko -


ko duk hotel mana?

ko tak turun Puduraya eh? ko turun yang  baru punya bus stesyen eh?



kalo teksi kat KL, majoriti pakai meter kecuali kalo yang kita ambik kat Puduraya or yang berderet2 kat luar Puduraya arah Kotaraya.

Yang ni semua main bargain je... mostly 10rm je la.


Tapi kalao pakai meter pun kesian jugak la...jalan jauh, trepik jam, last2 tambang macam 4rm la 5 rm la....
so kadang2 tu memang tak sampai hati, so kasi lebih sikit kat dorang...

hawker centre melambak...breakfast makan makan prata.ada this stall kat junction,dia jual cucur udang 2 for 60 sen,punya lad sedap.ko cecar sama dia punya chilli....so sedap....slurp....

Chic sebenarnya... dari Puduraya to KL Plaza... kalau ikut meter, tak samapi RM8 pun......

one thing abt taxi in KL.... kalau kita tak tahu jalan.. mmg dia org ketuk......dah tu... kekadang sengaja they take a long route atau yg banyak jam...... soo.. it is best to ask people who knows the shortest possible route or anggaran how much the trip will cost u..

since KL ni tak habis2 jam..... for me.. I park kereta at hotel and naik LRT ajer...... mana2 pun sampai.... mudah....... dan murah......  and best of all..... badan pun sihat..
and you get to see more things.....

my first ever journey as a lone traveller was a success..hehehe!

Ni aku nak ceta skit ngan ko sal journey aku ke kl ari tu卥ihkihkih! Ok mula2 sampai KLIA卛tu lah first time aku kat KLIA. Masa lepas kluar dari plane..aku a bit clueless jugak lah! But I juz follow the signs & ikut org2 yg sama2 ngan aku dari plane tuh!mana diorang gi aku ikut lahh..ohh rupanya naik aerotrain kalo nak ke main terminal building..hehe! after that cap passport suma..aku beli tiket naik KLIA Express nak ke KL sentral..aku dah plan nak naik benda nih sal kalo naik teksi dari airport mahal jugak kan..Aku beli yg one way RM35 je..bila sampai KL Sentral aku naik teksi lah dari sana..aku naik premier teksi..aku salah queue lah..i shud hav taken the budget taxi..dia charge RM15 ke Bukit Bintang..still orait for me..

Tul lah ko cakap deaf hotel aku tu kat blakang bukit Bintang卻o kena jln sikit lah ke shopping area tuh..hotel yg aku duduk tu kira ok jugak lah! For single travelers cam aku. After settle hotel aku gi jalan nak pick up ticket concert aku卆ku jln ikut blakang hotel tuh..wahh blakang hotel tu tempat sampah rupanya!kotornya..banyak burung gagak卆ku jalan sampai bb plaza (tul ke nama plaza nih) dekat2 ngan sungei wang..aku ingat bb plaza ni tempat ambil tiket aku卆ku tanya information, rupanya kena jalan lagi lah..tempat tu namanya star hill centre or something..bawah JW Marriot hotel. Letih jugak lah carik卌omplicated sungguh..at last I found it! Hehehe!wah! happy sungguh aku bila dpt tiket concert tuh卙ehehe!

After settle tiket aku gi jln2 lah around bukit bintang area tuh..first aku gi tower records..sal aku ni memang hantu beli cd..hehehe! tapi heran yek tower records ni selection tak berapa banyak le! Aku ada list cds yg nak dibeli tapi yg aku jumpa 2 sja! Tak macam HMV卆nything u want its there..aftr that aku shopping la sikit sikit..ala kadar je beli t-shirt n jeans..sal aku bawak 1 t-shirt n tak bawa jeans..hehehe!aku beli t-shirts yg RM15 je..very cool! Hehe! So aku browse lah kat sungei wang tu..banyak kedai tul lahh..memang tak abis jln..kira2 dekat kul 9..aku nak balik hotel..dari ptg aku bejln..letih tul lahh! Bila nak balik hotel tu aku rasa aku sesat lah..aku pusing2 tak jugak jumpa hotel tu卪aybe bcoz its at the back..so easy to get lost. At last aku tanya kat org

cranko21

Oh ya.. bila baca posting Seafoam baru teringat....

Chic, ko pakai cantik2 kot? sebab tu kena lebih hehehehe...



standard price kalo turun Puduraya...pegi hotels around KL Bukit Bintang area dia mintak 10rm...

Tapi kadang2 aku fedup la.... ada waktu tu aku tengah urgent turun KL just untuk beli tiket je.
So aku keluar puduraya, pegi kat belakang yang arah kotaraya tu nak naik teksi pegi Sungei Wang. Nak jalan malas la...

Alamak... Abang teksi punya QEREK ngan wa...tengok wa atas bawah macam la general cek unipom sojer gitu...terus dia cakap 10rm? so wa cakap ok la....
Ni la satu aku tak tahan naik teksi2 negotiate ni... dia study ko dulu,
