Fun Trip

I made new friends from Liberia, France, Japan \(^O^)/ muahahahaha.....Am just so excited.

It first started from the LCCT, i and K took the Airasia bus to KL Central then we met up with S to bring us to Bkt Bintang. Our guest house located just next to the street of Jalan Alor. We had a roof room where i had a queen bed and K was having a single bed.^^ hihi...the room rate was cheap, it was only RM35 per night per person. And there were many many foreigners here! There were one from Liberia and another from Japan, and another one not sure from where... I think Sing sing was very excited too when he got to have a conversation with the Japanese.We had a lot of walk walk walk walk....

There was one crazy thing i did at there. I bought a super huge luggage ( i don't know its actual size but it is the one the people always carry oversea one).  We carried it from Sunway to the opposite highway through pedestrian bridge. We took the bus to go back to somewhere near my stayed guest house. Then brought the luggage to 2nd floor of the guest house....and finally carrying it back to Sibu,,,,.we were so crazy!

There were not much places for me to go, probably 3 or 4 shopping malls for this trip cause i spent a day at Singapore(on bus, train, taxi and flight)

I woke up early at 3.30am on Sunday just to catch the 7.40 flight to Singapore. I had some nap at the airport while waiting for the flight. It was so great to be alone and having ugly sleeping post in the airport cause no one else would care about. From Singapore budget airport, i get a map and direction from the information center then move on to my adventurous journey. I spent only $5 for transportation fee at Singapore! I was so proud of myself about this! Bus and train were the only transport i used, of cause my 11 bus as well. As i wasn't familiar with the place so i canceled my 3 places visiting to only 1, that was Bugis Street. I skipped Chinatown and Little India. Actually wanna go to Sentosa Island and Zoo....But no time. I did a lot of trials and errors at there, for looking the location that i want to go. My legs were suffering the most....But on the trip to go back to Malaysia was quite smooth cause i just sat on the train and waited for the train passing 15 or 20 stations then til my station.

There was a women on the train in Singapore, i think she couldn't stand i kept on viewing my map everytime when the train stop at each station, she asked me where i wanted to go and i told her i wanna go to Keranji. She told me there were still very long way to go, she asked me to just sit back, relax and wait, but don't sleep. When she knew that i wanted to go to JB,she kept on reminding me to be careful and watch my bag carefully...She was so nice. Thanks young lady.

From Keranji to Woodland then Malaysia custom, those people there really shocked me. They walked freaky fast. They were not running, they were walking, with a rapid pace. In order to catch up them to bring me to the place(cause i'm not familiar with the custom), i had to follow them with their speed too....so tiring.

I met with a France couple at Larkin Station at JB. They had been cheated by the ticket seller. The ticket from JB to KL for me is RM31, but for them is RM85 each person. The ticket seller even lay on them telling them the tickets were including to Ipoh but in the end the driver only would want to stop them at KL and asked them to purchase another new ticket to Ipoh. So ashamed when i was doing the translation for them...I knew that they had been cheated but there was nothing i could do for them. I just bought them some snacks which made them returned me with a piece of paper writing her email address and using her limited English to tell me they were from France and if i would want to go to visit France, i can look for them.
CAN'T YOU PEOPLE SEE HOW NICE THEY ARE!!!! HOW COULD OUR MALAYSIAN DO THIS TO THEM!!!

It was 10.30pm when i reach Bkt Jalil bus station. No idea how to get back to my guest house and the taxi driver was always lying. I went to take bus but then went out again to look for LRT cause Angel's friend told me it was dangerous to take bus alone at night time. So i ran to look for LRT that would close on 11.45pm. Guess what?  I managed to get to Hang Tuah and took the monorail to Bkt Bintang then walked back home. It was 11.55 sharp! I make it on time!!!

Last time when i went to Chieng Mai, there was a guy asking me am i from Japan. This time at KL, there were people asking me am i from Thailand, and Singapore. Haha....i look like a foreigner too!!!

I love budget traveling! It exposed me to a lot of interesting people and widen my view, and refresh my mind too.  Of course, traveling partner is important too^^ Happy traveling with this group!
