After: KL Family Trip

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Finally arrived my home sweet home on yesterday night safely. It was a tired trip, really pack schedule. We have visited most of the planned place of interest. Except for the theme restaurants, ninja and star hill restaurant.

We all thought KL should be empty, but we were wrong. KL was clouded during our visit. Anyway, it was fun especially the Lost City of Gold ride! The interesting point is it go high up and down continuously 3 times. :) Shout till loss your voice. It is totally different from my last visit. More than 10 years I never enter.

High Tech during KL Trip

There are few high tech in use during our visit. First of all of course is my N82 GPS (Global Positioning System). Without GPS, I don’t think our trip can go so smoothly. GPS initiate time depends on cloud and Telco line. If Telco line is strong, it can be search accurate position faster. If there is cloud, harder to define current location.

Don’t mention about clouded Wifi connections within Sunway Pyramid. It is really common for free Wifi Internet access, but Sunway P1 Wifi charge for RM5 a day. More high tech implementations that I observed. (more…)

KL Family Trip @ October 2008

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

It has been long time we haven’t go for family trip. Since we have few days public holiday, most of my family members going for 2D 1N KL trip. Total 8 of us, only left one brother stay at home coz not enough seat. Maybe larger car can solve the problem huh?

My last visit to KL was on last year September 2007. This time we going visit different places. I don’t plan, my sister plan for us. According to her schedule, I expect it will be rush trip if visit all planned location. Perhaps we reduce the places to visit so we have more time.

Budget Hotel @ Downtown KL

On this KL trip, we will stay in Tune Hotels Downtown KL. I have booked 3 rooms and paid using my MBF VISA card. The price go up from $90+ to $110+ just in one week difference. AirAsia style huh?

This is my first time stay at Tune Hotel. Hopefully the 5 star bed like advertised. You can customize your room package to fit your needs. You can reduce the price by bring your own towel, soap, slipper.

Also, you can decide the hours of air-conditional and Wifi Internet access. I only ordered 5 hours air-condition and without Wifi. I have used to the air-cond hours at my home too. By the way, I’m not going to blog after whole day of travel. :) (more…)

Holiday in Kuala Terengganu

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

It has been 2 years since our last visit to Kuala Terengganu, my wife’s home town. I’m sure most of you know where Pulau Redang is, but seldom visit Kuala Terengganu. Kuala Terengganu is capital of Terengganu state (Kuala Terengganu map).

There are quite a lot of new development within these 2 years. Any place of interest here? Yes, I’m going to introduce you some of the places.

Crystal Mosque

I haven’t been there but saw it far from Sultan Mahmud bridge this morning. From what I saw, Crystal Mosque is a mosque that build with glasses instead of concrete. Heard the building cost is higher than Olympic Bird Nest Stadium! Is it true? I don’t know. Some say it is the most beautiful mosque in Malaysia. What do you think? (more…)

After: Vacation to Genting Highlands @ July 2008

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

A lot of stuffs to do after come back to work. How good it will be if I could sleep till wake up naturally? :) Haha, its a dream for me. It was so fun having 2 days vacation at Genting Highland. Good weather, nice hotel room, fun outdoor theme park game and delicious buffet meals!

As I said, I’ll find out why most of the hotel room fully booked? It was due to a lot of middle east visitors. I think it is about 80% visitors from middle east! Wow, its really a lot huh? Maybe come here for summer holiday? I’m not sure.

What so Fun?

We reached at Theme Park Hotel around 11.30 morning. After registered hotel room, we queue up to buy outdoor theme park ticket. It was a long long queue. I think only my wife and me are Chinese during that time, mostly are middle east visitors. Not only that, its start raining when I having lunch at Old Town Coffee. (more…)

Vacation to Genting Highlands @ July 2008

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Time flies too fast. It was 4 months ago since my last vacation to Cameron Highlands. Next week, I’m going to take a short break at Genting Highland to start second half of the year.

genting highlands

This is not the first time I been there. Sometime, we holiday there twice a year. That’s because it is not expensive, fun and not far from my home town. We like the weather, games, meals, and holiday environment there.

This time I’m going to drive until foot of mountain. Then take cable car to Genting Highland. Initially I thought to stay at Awana, the most cozy hotel at Genting. But it was fully booked. I wonder why so many people visit Genting during that period? No school holiday, not public holiday, not weekend, no special event, then why? I’ll find out the answer during my visit. (more…)
