One day KL City Tour - 25 Sept 2007 (Mid Autumn Festival)

Yesterday i took a day off from my office, didn't realise it coincide with Mid Autumn Festival. The purpose taking leave is actually accompanying my sister who is in KL for visit. Our plan for the day was visiting the Petronas Twin Tower Skybridge & Eye On Malaysia. I've never been to this 2 places so I decided to join my sis. I took leave last Friday only.

Our day start from 8.30a.m. We drove to my sis company & parked our car there, then we took LRT to KLCC. We reached there by 9.30a.m, go & collect the Skybridge ticket, we only manage to get the 2.00p.m slot. We have a few hours before 2.00p.m, so we go for brunch. It's about 10.15a.m so 4 of us proceed to the Food Court. After food, me & 1 of my sis went for movie, Hairspray. Excellent movie, my feet is moving to the music. It was a funny & heartwarming movie. Just love the girl, Tracy she can really dance. Not forgetting Joh Travolta as Tracy's mom. Wow, his role is a woman(big size woman) who can dance. The movie starts at 11.30a.m and the whole cinema is less than 20 people. No queue, so nice. I'm seriously thinking of changing my normal office hour job to flexi hour job. Can watch movie during off-peak & at cheaper rate only. I pay only RM8 for early bird slot and the best thing is no need to queue to get the tickets. On weekends, cinema are quite packed with people. The other 2 sis went to Kinokuniya to kill time until 2.00p.m.



The movie ends about 1.30p.m, just nice for us to go for the Skybridge visit. So 4 of us meet again and make our move to the Entrance. Most of the visitors there are mainly tourists from other countries. Before taking the lift up to Level 41(which only takes 41secs), we are treated to a 3D show on the history & background of Petronas Twin Tower & the skybridge. As a Malaysian I feel very proud of Petronas (the national petroleum of Malaysia) & the contribution they make to the community here. You know, the visit to Skybridge is free & open to all.


Once up at Level 41, we can see the view of Kuala Lumpur, saw many of the tall buildings around, the feeling was great!! I feel like when we stand at a high point & look down, the view is great and spectacular.



After Skybridge, we went for afternoon tea coz our tummy starts growling. So went for a quick bite at A & W. After that, we did some shopping in a few of the shops in Suria KLCC. Seriously, most of the shops in KLCC are very branded ones & I couldn't afford to buy 1. So I did window shopping only.

We left KLCC about 5.15p.m, rush hour time coz our Muslim frens will go off earlier during Ramadhan to prepare for "buka puasa". The LRT station is full of people, luckily we manage to squeeze ourselves inside. We stop at Masjid Jamek station, then walk about 15mins to my sis co. to get my car. By this time, we are very tired, my back started aching, i guess age really catch up on me. So off we drove to our next station, the famous "Dried Chilli Pan Mee" shop. My 2 sis have not tried this special noodles, that's why we bring them to taste this yummy food. The shop is called Kim Kee & has been featured in a TV program "Ho Chiak" & some newspaper & magazines.


After the yummy & delicious dinner, we went to the Eye On Malaysia, specially built for Visit MAlaysia Year 2007 & 50th Golden Celebration of Merdeka. It will stay for 1 year until 31 Dec 2007 so I guess it's not other better time 2 come & experience this ride before it's gone. Ha ha.. Nice view at night! No w only I know my 2 sis is so scared of height, they are so stiff sitting there. Ha ha ha.







After this, it's time to end my 1 day tour. Though it's only about 9p.m, but i was aching from top to toe already. And I hate the fact that I still have 2 work 2mw. How nice if i can just lepak lepak
but still have $$$ to spend.
