GOOD short KL getaway! 24th ~ 27th Dec 2010.


1. It was funny how all of us individually bought travel insurance before getting on the bus, for fear of a repeat of that nightmare.

2. It was a comfortable and cold bus ride to KL, where we reached at deathly 0430.

3. It was -sian- when we navigated wrongly to the hotel (some 1.1km away), and walked in the entirely opposite direction for some time before anyone realising.

4. It was a little scary when a stranger came to us and said "我刚砍了人，现在要跑路，可以给我一点钱吗？"

5. It was weird to catch some morning sleep in the hotel lobby, while waiting for the clock to reach 8am to check in.

6. It was exciting to have our Christmas gift exchange overseas.

7. It was tiring to take on 3 modes of transport to reach Sunway Lagoon.

8. It was life-threatening on the 3rd mode of transport -- the mini bus, when we were packed like sardines to the BRIM. Not exaggerating -- we were packed in at the door of the bus with the door opened throughout the journey. Yehlin was standing right at the edge, where a fast turn would have thrown him off the moving vehicle.

9. It was a test of patience when queueing for tickets into Sunway Lagoon.

10. It was heart-racing on the viking ride that turned 360 degrees.

11. It was a little challenging to take on the World's Longest Pedestrian Suspension Bridge.

12. It was painful when Vincent and Yehlin's float overturned at a water slide and sustained bruises.

13. It was a refreshing experience to work out at an overseas gym during a holiday.

14. It was uncomfortable to be sick and coughing every now and then during a holiday.

15. It was impossible to complete shopping at Sungei Wang, Bukit Bintang Plaza and Berjaya Times Square in a full day.

16. It was our favourite outlet -- the Factory Outlet Store. And many other Outlet Stores too.

17. It was chillax to shop a few hours, then head to a cafe, then shop a few more hours, then eat, then continue.

18. It was enjoyable to have Karaoke in a big room, with a good variety of buffet dinner.

19. It was a First experience for all of us on the train ride from KL to Singapore, which took as long as 9.5 hours.
