We went down to KL yesterday morning! Took a cab down to Petronas Towers. Each trip, up or down, was RM$60! Took a walk in the shopping centre. The shops looked the same as Singapore's, maybe slightly different in terms of price. We found out that they do not allow visits into the towers on Mondays. What a wasted trip there! But then, we ate lunch at A&W! That fast food restaurant's no longer in Singapore! The curly fries, the root beer float… mMMMmm! After buying some things at Cold Storage, we left for Sungei Wang Plaza.
Nothing much there too. It's just like a normal shopping centre, with all the shops and all…
Was going down to KL a bad idea? Maybe not… at least we found out how their taxi system works. Some taxi drivers just think that tourists are for them to gobble up. Maybe they have forgotten that Singaporeans like to gobble up other people too! The taxi driver whom we asked to take us to Sungei Wang Plaza actually wanted to charge us $RM60 for the 5-minute trip! Tell him to wait till the sun rises from the west…
We also learnt that the taxi drivers there could become part-time rally drivers. They took corners at 80km/h, and their styles were just like those racing drivers, taking sharp left turns by keeping to the right-most lane and turn into the left lane, and vice versa for sharp right bends. We had to hold on to the handgrips. Even when there's a blind spot in front, they did not care much too! And during both trips, up and down, we could smell burning tires….
We got back to our hotel room by 1630. We took a short rest till 1800 before we went for our buffet dinner and then, our visit to the casino. Lost all RM$40 to the slot machines! Haha luck's not on my side…
Had to leave Genting Highlands this afternoon, no matter what. We had a bus to catch. Did not play at the theme park at all due to time constrain. Bought lots of foodstuffs at the Genting Skyway station… and also at the 2 mid-point stops.
Reached Tuas Checkpoint at around 9pm. After clearing the customs, I had to watch in dismay as the coach drove along the AYE right past my home! The driver would not allow us to stop anywhere else except at Lavender MRT Station…. -_-
Reached home finally, 1 hour ago! Going to miss the cool weather, the nice morning view, the clouds, everything… hopefully the photos will look nice…
