Malaysia, terima kasih


Malaysia

Malaysia was not very far now. Since I landed in Singapore I was planning to visit Kualalumpur, capital of Malaysia.Finally I booked tickets to KL using www.easibook.com. The bus service "Transnasional" is basically Malay company which was not advised by few of my friends.
Although my convenient time was matching with this bus service, I booked both way in this. Luckily everything went smooth for me with this bus.


towards KL 

I reached around 3AM in morning. My friend was waiting in car to pick me up. We stayed awake chatting and refreshing some old memories and discussing on many dynamic topics.
2 more friend were supposed to join later in afternoon. After staying in Singapore for almost 2 months, Malaysia seemed to be a cheap place for me. We converted few Sing dollars. Money exchange counters are easily available in malls and shopping centers. Once converted and received our friends at bus terminal, we four headed to have a very nice fulfilling lunch. After lunch we straight headed to Petronas twin tower, the symbol of strength for Malaysia. 


We tried to have a look from all angles and also took some nice pics. We realized that life is still more relaxed then Singapore, although heard that this is not a very safe place. We did not see much of local buses there. Metro train are although making the trip convenient inside city. Taxis are also available at nominal rate. We also visited couple of famous malls and shopping centers. After getting dead tired we had a lazy dinner and then we headed to our flat.

We took the couch and again gone in flashback. We all four were telling our flow of life and the ups and down. Time flew and we realised that we should take a nap when darkness started losing its beauty. We started for Genting highland at 11 in morning. We took a small break on way to get some quick bite. Genting is kind of hillstation for KL. Our cable car was going up through clouds blinding our visibility. It was a pleasant cold there. we roamed around on hilltop. Genting is a combination of hill station and amusement park. It also have one Casino. None of us was interested in any joy ride so we just roamed around relax and headed toward KL again.

The trip was about to end. We stopped at KFC to get dinner and then took our bus, back to Singapore. 

Later I managed to visit Johar Bahru as well. It is nice place, sharing its border with Singapore. Little India is very near to immigration. we went inside a temple and spend some good time there. We also did some shopping there, had some nice food and then we returned.
It is easy to go to JB. you can go Jurong east in singapore and should catch SMRT bus to border. After immigration check you will land in Malysia and city name is Johar Bahru.
