Heyyo to my dear bloggers!! I'm back here in Singapore and in my house sitting in my favourite chair thinking of what to post about right now!! Well,now is 'd' time for me to jot down the events or things that happen when I'm in Kuala Lumpur..
Day1
I was awaken by my alarm clock at 0500hrs..I was too aroused as I can't wait to leave for Kuala Lumpur! At 0600hrs,I met Thinesh,Saravanan and Devi at BP LRT.. In school,Mrs Stevens check for attendence,gave each of us a booklet containing the itinerary for the 4 days3nights trip to KL,worksheets and more worksheets. As a matter of fact,we are supposed to leave for Kuala Lumpur at 0615hrs but because of one moron who turn up late,we depart at 0645hrs instead. We met our tour guide(Aunty Elaine) in Malaysia checkpoint.She was probably in her 40s,shoulder length hair and Malaysian with a very good English accent. On our way,she told us about Oil Palm plantation..I was with my Mp3 listening to my favourite songs ignoring about what she was saying..At around 0930hrs,we arrived at YongPeng and had our breakfast.Then,we continue our journey to Malacca first.We visited this bee thingy..It was kinda bored though... Next,we headed to a shopping center in Malacca to buy some stuffs for our own needs in our own expense. I bought half a dozen of Maggie Mee and share it with Thinesh,Saravanan, Devi, SzeMin and QinYi.Then we had our lunch at a local restaurant in Malacca.After we had our fill,we continue our journey to Kuala Lumpur.We arrived in KL at about 1500hrs and proceed to Forest Research Institute of Malaysia(FRIM).The journey to the Canopy Walk was very tedious..We had to climb up the forest and after that we had to climb 365 steps in order to reach the canopy walk.The further and higher we are,the steeper the steps.By the time we get to the Canopy Walk,I was terribly exhausted!My knee was aching and I had a headache.The ranger briefly explained to us about the history of the Canopy walk and some safety precautions we need to observe.I was shock when I heard that I was 300km above sea level(if I'm not mistaken).My group was the last to go as we're doing a project about this forest and we need to take some pictures.I was extremely nervous. I edged my way carefully as I was afraid of height.I didn't look down as I was totally feeling very jittery..My leg was shaking while I walk through the suspension bridge.On the third platform,I could see the Petronas Twin Tower..The view was amazing.When everyone has finished the 200m canopy walk,we continue to hike down the mountain.It wasn't very easy.Instead of walking in proper pathways,we had to walk the hard way..No proper pathway and no steps.It was very tiring.We had to walk carefully so as we will not trip. Everyone was relieved when we reached the ground.Exhausted and thirsty,all of us ran to the drink stall to purchase drinks.We headed to the auditorium and had a talk about how to conserve the forest etc.After an hour of talk,we had our dinner at a local restaurant.This time,I was awkward as it is a chinese restaurant and therefore we had to use chopsticks as I'm not an expert in using it and to make the matter worst,we had to use a bowl instead of a plate.I had a hard time eating my dinner.. haha.After we had our fill,we headed to Grand Seasons Hotel where we will be staying for 4 days.Everyone was extremely worn-out and rushed to their room. I turn in early and had a good night sleep!!
Day2
Morning call was at 0630hrs.I had a bathe and changed into my bermudas and t-shirt. I had my breakfast in the hotel lobby.There isn't much spread for breakfast and it isn't as delectable as I expected. I only had fried rice and cereal for breakfast. All of us met at the hotel lobby at 0830hrs and headed to Magrove Tour at Kuala Selangor Nature Park.The journey to the Mangrove swamp is so damn long.It took us around 2 hours!! I fall asleep in the bus during the journey to the Mangrove swamp. Anyways,the tour about the Mangrove Swamp was very dull. Nothing interesting about it except that we had to walk for more than an hour in the Mangrove swamp and see nothing else but greenery..very very dull!!Next,we had our lunch at another local restaurant in Kuala Selangor.We had seafood this time. Hmm,honestly the food isn't appetizing at all.The steamed fish taste different..I ate only a few spoonfuls then I lost my appetite and I just missed my mom's cooking!! haiz.. After we had our fill,we went back to the Mangrove swamp to have a talk about their irrigation scheme and it was extremely monotonous that almost a quater of the group fall asleep...Next,we depart for a Padi Field Tour.Again,the journey was lengthy!I fall asleep in the bus and when we arrived at the padi field the scenery is so darn beautiful!!The greenery are pleasent to stare at and since we have nothing better to do..we took photos and more photos!! We tour around that area for an hour and we headed to the rice mill tour where again they will be briefing on rice processing..Everyone is feeling lethargic. Next,it was dinner time.At last,proper delicious food is served.We went to a local resort in Kuala Selangor and we can have free flow of food..haha..Then,we headed to the Fireflies watch..It wasn't that interesting..the boat was scary and bloody hell to the driver..He even got time to smoke..What a multi-tasker!!!!I was hugging Jin Hui all along.It was spooky..You can't see anything except for the fireflies..Well,the firefiles was very nice but when we took the boat,it was horrifying!! We spent about 2 hours there and we headed back to the hotel.We arrived at the hotel around 2330hrs as the journey was very long..I felt miserable as my mom didn't call me that night..sob sob.
Day3
Morning call was at 0700hrs.Today is d day where all of us are waiting for!!No lengthy journey,no walking in the sun and no noring briefing. First up,we went to Cerebos..Its a manufacturing industry where it produced BRANDS Essence of Chicken.We had a talk about the processing and why is BRANDS good for us.Then we had refreshments and each one of us were given a goody-bag.Inside it,there's 2 bottles of essence of chicken.We(the usual group) bought Bird Nest and share it.There's 6 bottles so each one of us received one and pay only RM13.It was reasonble.Anyways,we headed for lunch.It was somehow delectable.Next,we went to Petronas Twin Tower.We went to PETROSAINS.The place was huge..We spent about 2 hours. At 1630,we report back to Aunty Elaine and we were astound when we heard that we were given 2hrs of shopping spree.We were so high that we just run and in the end the group was broken into smaller groups..haha..I bought this t-shirt which cost RM65 from Philosophy Men.I doubt that there isn't any shop here in Singapore so I bought the shirt and also a dog tag cost RM20.I only left around RM20.I thought of saving the money but when I saw this Billabong cap,i fell in love with it and bought it.In the end,I spent all my money on that day and I regretted.sigh. I pondered if I could survive one more day without money.After we had our dinner,we went to Putrajaya.WOW!!!The mosque was so darn beautiful.I felt as if I was in Mecca.The siblings(me and my sisters) took photos.We had a lot of fun and we laugh alot. We headed back to the hotel.We were stunned when we heard from Mrs Stevens that morning call for tomorrow was at 0515hrs.She told us that we have to queue up very early if we want to go up to the Petronas.Everyone whine.After bathing & packing my stuffs,I went to Thinesh room and we had a men-to-men talk.Basically,we talk more about him rather than me and I end up sleeping in his room.
Day4
I was very lazy to wake up.I rushed to my room and had a quick bathe.I finish packing my toiletries and went to Thinesh room and met the rest to have our breakfast. I ate alot that day.After we had our fill,we went back to our room and bring our luggages to the lobby and met the rest.We headed to Petronas and queue up for the tix.After half an hour,Aunty Elaine told us that we should go to Batu Caves first followed by Pewterware Manufacturing Company and back to KLCC.We had to climb about 500 odd steps and another 60 odd steps.It was very tedious and we climb back down.I had a shock of my life as the monkey just ran past behide me.haha.. After spending an hour at Batu Caves,we went to Royal Selangor.It was an interesting experience. Next,we headed back to KLCC.Each of us were given RM12 as we will not be having our lunch at a local restaurant.The usual group ate at A&W.Its been a long time since we ate A&W and I really loved the root beer.haha..Then,we assembled and get ready to go up 41 floors. The view was extremely marvellous.We spent 10 mins and took another group photo.Next,we depart to Malaysian Palm Oil Board.The journey was lengthy and I fall asleep in the bus.Anyways,we proceed back to Singapore at about 1600hrs.We went to Yong Peng and had dinner and arrived at Singapore checkpoint at around 2000hrs.We arrived safely back to school at 2130hrs.
Frankly speaking,I had loads of fun in KL.Met new friends and learnt new things about oil palm,padi field etc.I will never forget this experience.Wonderful memories will be kept in my heart forever. :-*
