*phew*
First of all, I'm proud and excited and relieved to say, I have no bak jiam!!! Must be a mosquito had landed on my eyelid, sucked blood...then that's why my eyelid looked like it swelled. -_- So stupid!!!
Anyway...my Sophia and David...on the plane enroute to KL!! (I took them along! :D )
Heehee~ Aren't the both of them cute? Acting shy...heehee. :p Luckily they got through the scanner! I always think that if you bring a soft toy along, most likely they will suspect that the soft toy has got something hidden inside...And I was kinda worried that they will rip my monkey apart! (Very duh, I know...)
But I didn't get through though. It was damn hilarious. Me and mr clement thought we were late for the flight already...because we were busy hanging around at the transit lounge playing internet, game, and also shopping lar! LoL~ So our flight was 8.45pm, we turned up at the gate at 8.45pm, and I was so scared the plane was going to take off without us I didn't even go toilet.
And so anyway, we hurriedly got to the scanner, and then whenever I cross the scanner the whole thing will just BEEP very loudly! So paiseh!!! As if I am a terrorist like that... -_-
But the policewoman was quite okay lar, she just scanned me from head to toe, then since got no beep, ask me to walk through again. And then the scanner BEEP again! Aiyoyo...she scan me again lor. So paiseh...and somemore since we were "late", everyone else was in the holding area liao lor, looking at us...and mr clement was so worried...he just went like, "Is it because of the ring?"
So dumbo! Where got ring can cause the scanner to beep de...first time hear. Anyway, the policewoman finished scanning me le, so asked me to walk through that scanner again. Haiz. Then of course BEEP again lar... By then I was thinking whether I would ever get up the plane or not... -_- But then the she looked at me from head to toe, and then concluded that the metal on my shoes (it was a metal buckle on both shoes) must have triggered the BEEP sound. So she let me pass lor....and then after that she asked me (relatively loudly), "You both on honeymoon issit???"
Soooooo paiseh. I dunno where to hide liao. I just smiled sheepishly at her and quickly collected my things and push mr clement on...and then he still walk so slowly...aiyoyo...then of course the policewoman concluded (and proclaimed) , "Yah, must be on honeymoon..." she told all the other security people there...
And so of course I push the misunderstanding to mr clement lor. If he had not mention any ring, she won't think that way liao... -_- And I asked him how can a ring trigger a scanner de. Haha. He also dunno why say that.
Best of all? The plane was delayed! All that rush for nothing! Bleah~~~ So we sat and hang around at the holding area for 15 mins or so while waiting for the plane to be ready. We took lots of self-shots...here's one of the nicer one...
At least can see eyes. Haha. If not the 2 of us look like we going to sleep le. Haha.
And so later when we got up on the plane...I realised that the plane was very stylo! Got our own TV screen, blankets and pillows. Even for a 30-minute plane ride to KL lor... Kinda impressed. What's more impressive was that there was a camera attached to the cockpit...so we could see exactly where the plane was going when it was taxi-ing to the runway. How cool is that?
And of course we got to see what the pilot saw when we flew up into the sky.... although it was night, but the camera is a night camera, so everything still looks very clear. Something new for me, because I have never seen before. Heehee. So suaku. :p
Anyway we took the camera out while the plane was flying...nothing to do mah. It's only a 30-minute flight, they serve drinks, and give you time to fill out immigration cards. Me and mr clement have already done that, so we zi-lian a bit and took photos of ourselves again lor. :p
Couldn't really do much, because soon after the air stewardess told us to keep all electronic stuffs away... must be good. Wahahaha~
Anyway, upon reaching M'sia, we took our own sweet time, went toilet, went to the customs, and then realised to our horror,
the queue so long!!! Then we were thinking whether got shorter queue or not...then realised (again), that it's 1 queue fits all...so we joined the queue with the rest of the people lor...
During the queue I jokingly asked mr clement whether will we be the last to collect our luggage. He was like, "Maybe lor. Or maybe all these Japanese came on the same flight as us?" We took Japan Airlines...so we assumed the Japanese around us could have been on the same flight. :) Anyway something very funny happened during the queue also. This woman thought we were holding Singapore passports, so started asking us how to go Johor from the airport. -_-
I don't understand leh, where is the link?! We also don't live in M'sia, how to tell her? Like, so duh. So mr clement just smiled at her and mutter something about taking the train. Hahaha. Then keep quiet liao. Luckily the woman never persisted. Heh~ Anyway we couldn't help her also lar... :)
Anyway, after we cleared customs, we went to collect our lugguage lor. And ta-dah! We were really the
last to collect our luggage lor...it wasn't even on the belt. It was on the floor already. They have already cleared all the luggage from the belt so that luggage from another flight can be put on the same belt.
There was this young lady, she was selling tickets for the KL Express, that will take us to the heart of KL from the airport in 28 mins. Haha. We did our homework, so we bought tickets from her lor. It's RM35 per tix...quite okay lar, considering the speed factor...if we took taxi it would probably cost less then RM70 (for 2 persons) but then it will take twice the amount of time. (The airport is very far from the city lor...)
Anyway...here's the interior of the train!
Quite nice isn't it? There are compartments for luggage, and there's a small table where you can put your stuffs if you want. Even a TV screen with the latest news (in Malaysia, of course) and also a toilet onboard. Very comfortable...and better than expected! Best of all, it's a non-stop service, so it will by-pass all the stations along the way! This can ensure a very good 28-minute nap (if we were that tired lar!) We were too excited to sleep anyway. Haha.
Anyway, when we dropped at the
KL Sentral station, a surprise awaited us. There was this guy holding the
Hilton Hotel sign. And mr clement and me, thinking that maybe Hilton knew we were arriving, so sent someone to pick us up. LoL~ And since we were totally blur as to where the hotel is (it's near the station, but we had no idea how near...), mr clement ran after that guy while I tried to figure out using the only map we had.
And so mr clement returned with the guy! Hahaha~ It turns out that it's a service by Hilton Hotel to provide transport for guests arriving by train lor. How cool is that! So we had someone to carry our luggage, load it onto the mini-bus, and then transport us to the lobby of the hotel. And when we reached the main entrance of the hotel, someone opened the door of the mini-bus, helped me out, and then took our luggage for us. And at the door were 2 ladies, who greet us "Good evening" and "welcome".
We arrived in style, literally. *grins*
And so we proceeded to the reception...and mr clement, looking as blur as usual, was not sure where to go. So another person came up, asked whether we are doing check-in, we answered affirmative, and so she helped us look for the shortest queue. And all these while, there was a porter who took care of our luggage while me and mr clement decided what to do with him. Hahaha.
You see ah, if he takes our luggage up, means that we have to give tip. And somemore we only got one suitcase, a bit duh right? Hahaha. It's not as if it's something so heavy for us anyway. Anyway, mr clement decided that since he already took the luggage, and since this hotel is a 5-star hotel, we should just let him do his job. Haha. So I didn't try to wrestle the luggage from him. We did the check-ins, and then the porter took us to our room.
The first thing I noticed when I got into the room...
The long corridor
into the room! And walking further on...
Sofa and table? Plus full-length window. Very nice right? Looks so...posh. :) But that's not all...On my left...
Oh man...when I saw this bed I just want to jump onto it and bury myself. Haha. And right in front of the bed....
The very stylo 42-inch plasma tv...that even other hotels talk about. LoL~ The area on the left is supposed to be like an office...there's a LAN cable there too. But the TV is darn kewl. Comes complete with all the cable channels you can think of. Kewl!!! And then on my right,
The toilet lor. But even the toilet is kinda impressive. There's a bathtub and shower area, they had lots of aromatheraphy thingy there, and the basin? Even more stylo. Got LCD TV there lor. Check it out at the mirror... :)
By the way on the corridor into the room, the toilet was just beside...except that the door is mirrors...haha. So can't see. And the cupboard is built in along the same stretch, so the cupboard can be open from the toilet and from outside the toilet.
What an innovative idea!!!
Anyway, the porter was very excited to show us all the stuffs that are available for us in the hotel, so he stayed around for 10mins showing us all the features. Haha. :) And then helped us set our luggage so that we have a proper place to put it lor. So helpful. And mr clement gave him a big tip. Haha~
It felt really good, because when we reached the hotel at last, we were like, "finally made it here!" that kind of feeling. And we were quite happy because we didn't encounter any problems (except for the security scan thingy...) Not to mention, we were treated like kings and queens when we arrived at the hotel. And of course, what a wonderful hotel! The amenities available in this room itself were
phenomenal. Even better than Fullerton (which I think is the best of the rest so far).
Yup, before the trip, I had lots of worries lor. Like whether we will be able to find our way around in the airport, whether we can find the hotel, whether our rooms will
still be available to us when we reach. (Imagine 1st night without a hotel...damn jialat eh...)
It all went well! A great start, I might say... :)
And so we looked through the "getting around in m'sia" file (they actually have that! Amazing!) and also consulted my mag (which I kapok from Genting 2 wks before) to plan our itinerary for the next 3 days. :)
Stunningly Gorgeous Y 11:11 PM
