I woke up at 5:00 am prepare my last day in KL. Our schedule was check out earlier at 8:00 am then went to Batu Cave first before Malacca. Ohya almost forgot, I had to made a refundable cash money deposit MYR 50 so we took back my money of course hahaha. Then I wait Daniel in Seven Eleven next to my hotel while had my lil breakfast w delice mochi. No need to wait long time Daniel was appeared cos his place is 15 minute drive to my hotel. So we moved to Batu Caves, our last attraction in Kuala Lumpur, another most wanted place.

Batu Caves was really amazing place. There was a Lord Murugan Statue welcome us covered w real gold and soo biggg about 140ft. It had 3 main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines. But we only enter one cave so far by climbed up 272 stairs. It was easy cos I was a strong-wanna-be girl hahaha. Ohya cos that was a holy place for Hindu' so we might wear outfit modestly and act politely too. He was forgot to tell us to wear that stuff so we had to rent a shawl to cover our legs.

No need took a long time we finally reach the main shrines. It was a big cave and had another stairs inside it. And of course we should climb these too but it was lil shorter than before. And fortunately there was a prayer activities and a gaijin like us could participate but I wouldn't did it.

After that photo we went back to his car and continue our trip to Malacca. But this stormy belly wanna eat something delice than last night tehee so Daniel drive us to someplace food court look alike and we ordered same menu this time. Nasi ayam hainan (if I was not forgot) and a glass of tea (teh tarik) and our dish came w bone soup again. I don't know why local people always eat any dish accompany w bone soup. But you know what? the bone soup was perfect delice aahh but I couldn't eat any bone grease cos my body couldn't handle it hehe and nasi ayam hainan also taste delice >o< but it came w big portion so I couldn't finish it *again* but I swear it's super delice, the teh tarik taste good too aahhh I wanna cried when remember last night food hahaha.

After fill our belly then we head to Malacca. Need more than 2 hrs from KL in a really really straight boring street but don't be so worry cos many green tree accompany us all the way to Malacca. And she had her deep sleep but I was not able to do that cos I was sit next to the driver. It is my own life-rule that I forbade my self in any condition for careless, sleepy or something endanger our safety while driving or sit next to driver. When we touched Malacca Daniel told me some story of Malacca that actually made by Indonesian named Parameswara (Muhamad Iskandar Syah) but Malaysia has their own version about it included the other version of Hang Tuah and many more. I love talking about history.

Then we were arrive in the center of Malacca. Yeah Daniel ever said that will be full of people on weekend and it was true teehee but however I wanna visit Malacca. Vintage atmosphere felt cos many old building still stand sturdily. Malacca is a multicultural and multiracial town. You will found different style of their buildings in the town square from Portuguese - Dutch - Malaysia [imo] Daniel explained the story but I can't clearly remember tehee. And a fountain in front of Christ Church was remind me to some fairytale movies that makes your wish come true by drop some coin into fountain water hahaha.

Queen Victoria's Fountain

Then we had lil walk to antoher red building w cute trishaw standby waiting for tourist. So cute huh? >o< I thought that Malacca had only flowered trishaw but a character trishaw dominate town square in fact lil weird but cute :p. and one more thing, they had super loud speaker w top100 billboard chart music play.

Melacca cute trishaw

Daniel found this hole in the wall and asked me to pose in that hole. Enjoy this weird pose huh? :p But why the hole was only one in left side of stairs? Ohh too curious nobody answer me =3=

Then we head to a hill where the old church located. In the middle walk we met some tourist group w their guide tell some stories about that church which originally built at 1521 and many explanation of that church,

St. Paul Church

And the most interesting view beside the church was Selat Melaka, city buildings and the tower. Hope this view still exist in the following years. I mean no more tall building cover up this best view.

Selat Melaka view from St. Paul Church

We continued our lil journey to Melaka Sultanate Palace Museum cos I know this place after the other blogger reviewed this place. The some stories and their diorama told the stories of Malacca. There also many traditional clothes of Malaysia. Like common museum with many interesting object inside.

Melaka Sultanate Palace (Museum). Entrance fee MYR 5 for gaijin (read : foreigner)

Ohya there was a gardern in front of Museum. I wanna go inside but the garden was so quiet I don't know why. Maybe because since it was a forbidden garden hahaha but they were in a tourist attraction the forbidden just a name lor. Yeah but I didn't go inside hehee

The forbidden garden in front of Melaka Sultanate Palace

Then Daniel brought us to some Malacca famous cake but because of a long queue, we decided to have a break at Starbucks with a regular cup of green tea frapuccino (me)

this mural - wall painting remind me when I was in high school, I always do wall painting at school but they was only 3x2m, smaller than this mural of course

Malacca River featuring Casa Del Rio Hotel. My favorite photo so far. The best photo taken by me

And what we forgot? Yea we totally forgot what we gonna do. I really wanna try that boat T3T

Somewhere in Malacca. I love this picture btw :p

Our last hours in Malacca was busy bought many souvenirs at Jonker Street. One of famous street where many local sell many stuff about Malacca. And if you run out of money here you can easily found a store who accept visa or mastercard yay! *a personal reason teehee* but of course w min.order yaa, The Jonker Gallery for example. They accept International Card with minimum purchase MYR 50.

But I'm so sorry no photo taken in this hours cos yeah you know we too busy w our own business and I was too tired (bad mood also sih :p) but HAPPY :D. I just worry about him cos he was the one who drive us direct to airport at midnight in a super tired condition then of course I was stay awake cos of my own life-rule. Finally, I was very thankful to Daniel. without his big help we never had such a fun and spectacular journey in 2 days! 2 DAYS ONLY!! AWESOME!!! I supposed to give him a souvenir from my country but it was left out in my house T3T too baaddd so sorry hiks next journey I'll make sure not forgot that kinda thing to my friends.

Friday, 21 August 2015

I had planned this trip a few months ago because I know there are some deadlines there are some jobs that will happen to me just like the annual work deadlines (that's why I always name this kinda trip w deadline therapy :p). My trip destination this time is Kuala Lumpur and Malacca. Why should I do therapy deadline abroad? Cos there were Airasiago.co.id promo package and Malaysia is closest and trip-able for a 2 real day therapy deadline. Okay, I should have this therapy with my boy-friend but Suddenly he had a work-deal in somewhere so he couldn't accompany me in this trip. So saadd :'( But suddenly a shopkeeper of movie rent next to my base camp office wanna join me. Yayy! Still sad cos he can not go with me and made she replace his position while I was in KL-Malacca. It's okay calm down Ka!

my first photo in KLIA2

First Day in Kuala Lumpur was really funny. I mean REALLY really FUNNY. After we arrived in KLIA2 we decided to find a TOILET. I felt dizzy cos I was in my healing sickness process. Then we go ahead to arrival hall looking for DIGI counter. yea my plan was change my sim card so I could get connected with my friend in KL (and of course w homeland friends too). Yea this was very important cos he will be my big helper in this trip. After got a new sim card then we fill our stormy belly at Burger King. Let's skip this till my belly was full >> Then to catch the time I finally take KLIA Express cos they could reach KL Sentral in 30 minutes (1 hr by bus) Ohya while we wait our train suddenly there was a man approached me cos he from Indonesia too. A good looking 26yo man and still single (probably haha) named Lucky (pronounced as Luki). A very talkactive, funny and our big helper too and I like him. We share our trip experience all the way. He was very familiar with KL cos he always had his transit here. He teach me how to buy train ticket by machine and show me direction to hotel. Chit-chat again and suddenly we separated in Dang Wangi just like water and oil *hiks* cos he just wanna went to KLCC in his short transit time. Then as his direction I head to Bukit Nanas connecting station and take monorail to Titiwangsa but in the end of his direction he warn me that he was NOT SURE about this direction hahaha and he said that if I meet a gate that make me put in token then I was in wrong direction! And walla~ I totally in a wrong station God Damn It!! Confused confused! And of course ask her opinion was a big fault cos she always has no idea to go she just follow me wherever I go. Okay looking for officer and God Thank You! He checked my token and give me the right one head to Titiwangsa. Okay I went back to Masjid Jamek station and switch train to Titiwangsa. But in the middle my way to Titiwangsa, Daniel (my friend in KL) text me that I can stop in PWTC cos my Hotel is near from there. Okay better listen to a local people hahaha. Then I have no idea to go but suddenly I got vision that want me to open GPS! That's what I'm thought about thanks DIGI :p Okay type : Hotel Kita. And walla~ Daniel was right just 4 minute walks (not 4 minute in real I swear). Step by step I remember this place cos I use google street before many thanks to technology.

Okay it's 4:00 pm out of my schedule. Then I told Daniel that I arrive at hotel so he can go to my place and head to somewhere. We went to Batu Caves on my first day properly but we changed schedule and finally He bring us to Tugu Negara at first. Woa that's cool place for a national monument which surrounded by green park part of Perdana Lake Garden. Daniel explained every place we visit like my history teacher hahaha but I really enjoy it cos I like historical building and its story.

I love selfie but moody in some condition. this scene for example~

After sightseeing in Tugu Negara we moved to Perdana Lake Garden. I amazed with this city which still have beauty large park in a city center. So we had a little walk around the park. And we took some picture here yeah this park is my mood booster.

Local artist paint for KLOBS 2015. かわいい  ❤

I like it!  ❤

I like it too! Uhmm I mean that tree were so cute  ❤

Perdana Lake Garden had many collection of plants. If you are a plant lover like me I recommend you to visit this place not in a short time cos this place is so bigg to explore less than 2 hrs.

We walk there to there I never getting tired to do a walk like this. Actually I wanna took a lot of selfie here but I couldn't cos she always made me busy took her photos that was why I looked not in a good mood these day. Well that pictures was taken at 6:00 pm and it was look brighter than 6:00 pm in Indonesia hahaha I thought it was 4:00 pm. But suddenly it was darker and darker and hungry. Wait! Darker and hungry? don't explain your self like that Ka cos you always totally cute and adorable but still hungry :'3

Okay next Daniel drive us to Merdeka Square; another historical place in KL and KLCG located but unfortunately they were closed so we just took some pic in front of their letter sign. You know what? I don't wanna go home tehee there so many light around Merdeka Square. Daniel said it always like this in some occasion such as Malaysia' Independence Day next week (August 31th).

I wanna cried saw those light tehee so beautiful ❤

Then as the schedule we head to the most wanted and iconic building in KL. Petronas Twin Towers. But first we have to park his car at somewhere in Petaling street. And walk to the venue by train yayy I love public transportation in here but I was not afraid to got missdirection anymore cos I was with Daniel this time. He was like my older brother he so kind and always understand this strong-wanna-be girl :p

crossing Petaling Street and head to KLCC.

Okay Ka how about your belly? Ohya almost forgot uhmm but I really totally forgot when we were had dinner. was it before or after we went to KLCC? No need to remember it cos I really don't like the taste. we had a street food. Usually I like street food taste but not that time. I ordered Nasi Goreng Pattaya as Daniel suggest cos he said "sedap". It came cute cos the nasi goreng was wrapped by scrambled egg but I swear the taste was not cute as it looked and it also came w bone soup ahh I wanna cried eat this stuff then I was not finish my food. Uhm just realize that almost men always said what they eat is yummy.

And KLCC was the end of our trip on my first day. Let us back to hotel and had a nice sleep cos he warn us to wake up early tomorrow so we can go to batu caves.

おやすみなさい~
