Malaysia 2011!

So after our trip to the Universal Studios Singapore, we took a six hour bus ride to Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. Based on my mom's Facebook post, we arrived at Kuala Lumpur at about 8.45 in the evening.

We booked our stay in Cititel Express Kuala Lumpur. We had two double queen sized family beds in our room, because we were five and my mom wanted us to fit inside one room.

We woke up at a painfully early time the next morning so that we could catch the Breakfast Buffet of the hotel. The buffet consisted of lots of rice, meat and other breakfast pastries.

We then took a taxi around the central districts of KL. We stopped at the Petronas Twin Towers, which was one of the main reasons we visited Malaysia. We were welcomed by the staff and watched a short presentation about the historical influences for its architecture. We then took a fast elevator to the sky-bridge.

The view on the sky-bridge was AMAZING. You could see a great view of Kuala Lumpur. No disappointments whatsoever.

So we spent fifteen minutes inside the sky-bridge. By the way, the sky-bridge is that thing that connects the two towers together, if you didn't know. So we took the elevator back down and went out of the building. We then saw another tall building and asked some locals. They told us that the building was Menara Kuala Lumpur (Kuala Lumpur Tower).

We then took a taxi there to KL Tower. We took another really fast elevator to its observation deck and spent about half an hour there. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any pictures of us and the tower.

So after another sleep and a painfully early wake-up time, we decided to go to a "Chocolate Factory". It was Beryl's Chocolate Kingdom. This was the most disappointing thing in Malaysia, as it didn't show much about making chocolate. Well sure, there was about three to four artifacts but that was it. The rest of the building was mainly a place where you can buy their chocolate.

Our last full day in Malaysia concluded with a visit to Kuala Lumpur's Butterfly Park.

So that was it. We then went back to the hotel, slept, had the final painfully early wake-up, breakfast buffet and we took the bus back to Singapore and took a taxi to Singapore's Changi Airport. I think it was 4 in the morning when we arrived to the airport.

As we were checking in for our flight, my mom and her friends spotted some members of the Philippine Dragon Boat team also checking in for their flight. My sister some other kids and I then found a playground. Here's a picture of me on the playground that my mom caught...

That concludes our trip to Singapore & Malaysia!
