4th Day ... the Last Day...
Well, actually on the last day didn't do much, because we were busy packing to check out, so that we can go out for somemore last-minute shopping lor. Didn't take much photos...I think we were too busy sussing out the shopping than to think about taking photos...hehe.
Nevertheless, shots of me at the hotel with our "lugguage"
The left one is of me at the corridor in our room, and the other one is the lift lobby on our floor lor. Well, that's clement's bag actually...which held
both our things when we came, but can barely hold
all of clement's shopping/clothes when we left. Hehe. Luckily I suggested we bring another bag along...I was right. :p In the end I had to transfer all the stuffs to my bag so that we both can go home with a bag each. (We arrived with that trolley bag between the 2 of us. *grins*)
Anyway as I mentioned on the "1st day post", I wanted to include pictures of the monorail interior...well, I only found 1, which is of the driver's seat. At that point when I took the picture we were at the "back" of the monorail, so got no driver lar...so I go take photo lor... Heehee...
That's the view we have lar. Anyway we took the monorail to the shopping area in KL...I think it's near the
Times Square I mentioned in the previous posts. Seriously bad memory..now that it's after 3 months since our tour. Heehee. I only remembered
Sungei Wang station...or was it a shopping centre? Heh~ I think I need to go see the map again.
Here's a picture of the monorail station lor. It is different because there is actually an
overhead bridge over the tracks
inside the station! Their monorail got 2 tracks mah, so if you enter from the shopping centre on the left but you want to take the monorail on the right, you have to use the overhead bridge to cross over lor...that's the only way.
Anyway! We went shopping around that area...and to our delight, there were many things to shop! The shopping centre itself is half-Far East Plaza and half-Sim Lim Square...so there were lots of computer gadgets stores, plus a lot of funky punky stores. Most importantly...we realised that there were lots and lots of
pirated DVD movies!!! Sssshhh. Heehee. It sells cheap too...3 DVDs for a mere RM10.00. After division and conversion, 1 DVD costs only S$1.50! Cheap cheap eh...and it plays...so no worries. Haha.
Not only DVD movies are cheap...Playstation 2 games too yah. They have thick catalogues of it for you to choose...and it's almost as cheap as the DVD movies..but I think it's 1 piece for about RM4.00. But it's cheap lar....lol~
After woo-ing and wah-ing at the DVDs, we decided to visit all those funky shops le lor. It's like Far East Plaza on a Sunday...so crowded, so cramped, so we of course couldn't take pictures lar. Anyway I really didn't feel like buying stuffs because so crowded leh, and anyway there were nothing much that caught my attention...but clement had a whale of time shopping...bought some sort of chinese-character tee-shirt which cannot be found in Singapore lar...
Our flight was around 8.45pm lor, so by 6 we returned to the hotel to collect our lugguage, and clement proceeded to squeeze and squash all his shopping in lar. Me on the other hand, felt so paiseh, because it's weird opening your lugguage up for everyone to see leh. Haha. Then the whole world will know whether you happened to take some of the hotel shampoos/amenities or not... (which we did anyway. wahaha~)
Last look at the
KL Sentral Station! FYI we took the
KLIA Express lor...which will bring us to the airport in 28 minutes. Much better than taking cab since we will be subjected to traffic conditions. At least this is a dedicated train journey yah. :)
That's me before boarding the train. Actually the train was already there...but we didn't know because we thought there were no trains. -_- For some reason the tunnel is longer than the length of the train, so we had to walk on before we saw the train with its open doors and all. Luckily we walked on...if not would have missed the train, which would probably make us late for check-ins and all.
Anyway since both of us were darn tired by now, we just slept through the whole of the 28 minutues of the train ride...but at least this time it was dusk...still can see the scenary and all. When we arrived on the 1st day it was already at night liao...everywhere around us is black and dark...couldn't see a thing at all lor...
We had time to admire the scenary, sleep, relax our tired feet after walking/shopping the whole day. Oh. I think we even walked all the way to
KL Planet Hollywood just to buy souvenirs. How duh we got. Heehee.
So when we reached the airport, we were quite glad...hehe. The timing is quite important lar...scared got delays and all that. Somemore the train only moves at 15 minutes interval. Plus the journey, may end up in delays lor. I am always getting paranoid over these kind of little details...scared we will not get on the plane, scared got no room to stay...that's me lar. So in the end I always end up rushing clement...haha. But luckily he didn't mind lor. :) We checked in first, the counter just opened mah. So kiasu. Heehee. Then we had dinner at
KFC (think tender chicken) and then wondered whether we should go through customs or not lar.
In the end we decided to because the previous few times I came Malaysia I always got stuck at the customs lor...either the queue was very very long or maybe someone just happened to forget something and then hold up the whole queue...quite sway...so better early than late. Anyway last time I took the plane back, was darn exciting lor, the moment I stepped on the plane, sit down, buckled, the aeroplane started to taxi out liao...we were the
last passengers to board! OMG. Heehee.
That's mr clement posing at the
KLIA skytrain. Or was it called the LRT? This is the train which, after we had finished our check-in and customs, we have to take so that we can go to our boarding gate lor. So troublesome right? But it's the way they built the airport...supposingly the other "terminal" is for international flights only, the terminal with all the customs are more for internal flights lor. For some reason, it didn't occur to them to build another customs at the other terminal, so that we don't have to worry about missing our flight just because we couldn't get on the LRT also lor...
Actually something very funny happened on our flight back lor. Mr clement decided that the JAL stewardess very pretty...so ask me to take photo of him and 1 of them... -_- Sian until cannot sian. Hahaha....I took for him lor...then because no flash, I guess the picture was a bit blur...then he ask me is it on purpose de...haha...it wasn't, I swear...I just happened to have
shakey hands that's all...not my fault. His camera lousy. :p
And hor, after he took photo with the stewardess, later on the plane the stewardess was passing Singapore immigration cards, asked him if he needed 1 also...he said no need...kao...they were speaking in Japanese lor... -_- And as I have mentioned before, clement looks like a Japanese when he doesn't open his mouth and when he spoke to the stewardess in Japanese, she mistaken him for 1 also lor. Bleah~ Like, so duh! Hahaha..so even when the stewardess had this very confused look, he just smile at her lor. Haha...
Then when we went off the plane, again, the stewardess at the exit told me "thank you" and then spoke to clement in Japanese when he walked behind me lor...He must have fooled them all...hahaha...this stewardess is a Singaporean stewardess, no less, so even she can't recognise that he isn't a Japanese.
All in all...the whole trip was quite fun, very luxurious, very enjoyable...and full of unexpected ironies lar! LoL~ And it all stemmed from mr clement looking like a Jap... -_- So what that makes me huh?!
Signing off~
