Short Trip to Malaysia

Last holiday was pretty much boring. But, a trip to Malaysia seemed to entertain me. It was at the beginning of the holiday, where I went to Malaysia with my family. My mom booked the ticket from about 3 months ago. In that time, when I was still studying, I can't wait for that trip to come true. I was very excited because I could relief all of my stressful thoughts and have fun in Malaysia. 

Preparation is the most important thing in holiday. Mom was the happiest person in preparing the trip. She likes to shop and that's why she already saved a lot of money for us to buy souvenirs and clothes at Malaysia. She also searched and chose the itinerary that is perfectly fit with our schedule. For me, I only prepared for clothes, phone, headset, and a small bag to carry things around while we're exploring Malaysia. My sister's preparation was pretty much same as I do and my dad didn't prepare that much. He only prepared for clothes and a fannypack to carry small things around.

When the day came, we finally rushed to the airport and flew by Malindo Airlines. After we arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), we bought a cellphone SIM Card. I forgot the name but we also booked UBER Taxi to get us from the airport to Traders Hotel. It was a quite long ride because the distanc between KLIA and Traders aren't close. It almost feels like you went from Bandung to Jakarta but a little bit faster. I was amazed by the scenery all around Kuala Lumpur. Their roads now are much more advanced than Indonesia's. Their way of transporting from one place to another was also amazing. They already have a monorail and many buses to travel. 

After we arrived at the Traders Hotel, we went to our rooms to leave our luggages. The room was very amazing because it gave us a direct spot to see the Petronas Twin Tower. After we left the luggage, we were looking for a place to eat in Suria KLCC. It was a mall and it was sized very huge. There were lots of fashion outlets, restaurants, and a place to go sightseeing. I remembered that we watched the waterfountain show and took some pictures of The Twin Tower. That day was exhausting, yet satisfying.

In the next morning, we jogged around the Suria KLCC and our hotel because it was very close. After we jogged, we swam at the highest floor of the hotel and went out for a breakfast. After all we've done at the hotel, we moved to another hotel called WOLO Bukit Bintang. It was across the Tous Les Jours Bukit Bintang near the H&M store. After we checked in, we explored Malaysia by a tourism bus named "Hop-On Hop-Off". The ticket booth for the bus was very near from my hotel. We only have to across to get there.

When we're on the bus, we took photos from Bukit Bintang, Chinatown, The Little India, Dataran Merdeka, the Sultan's palace, and the Petronas Twin Tower. It was really fun to go sightseeing there. As we went back to the hotel, we bought Tous Les Jours on our way to the hotel. At night, we shopped to the mall near WOLO Bukit Bintang and look for a place to eat again. Other than culinary, we were there to buy a new suitcase. My mom wanted to buy the Rimowa suitcase because she needed it in Japan.

On our third day, we went to Taiping to visit my mom's friend's wedding. He was an Indian and he met my mom when he was a junior in RSHS. He invited us to come to his wedding. After we arrived, there was a bunch of Indians in the hallway. They are a very nice people. It's very unique to see their wedding tradition. Firstly, they did a religious ceremony to begin. There are traditional musics that was using drums and flute as their instruments. Then, there was dancers coming all the way through the podium. They are dancing in the rhythms of the traditional music. Lastly, the people came to the podium and shaked hands with the future husband and wife. It was really entertaining and educating to see the progression of the wedding.

The wedding was finished. We were starving out there in Taiping. But, thank god we found McDonalds there! We ate so much there because we haven't eaten anything since we went there. After we ate, we walked around 3 miles away from McDonalds just to search for a taxi. I remembered that the weather was very hot until we arrived at the taxi bank. Immediately, we ordered for a drive and went back to the station and that's how we got back to Kuala Lumpur.

In the last day, we finally went to Putrajaya to take pictures there and went to KLIA to go home to Bandung. As we arrived at the airport, we rushed to the check-in desk because it was so full. We almost got left behind because of the check-in insident. The plane will fly at 12.15 but we still checked-in at 11.45. After we finished checking-in our luggages, we rushed to the immigration gate. Luckily, we met Taufik Hidayat there but there was no time to take a photo with him there. When we passed the immigration gate, we went to the boarding gate and when we reached it, the officer said that the plane was going to be late. We laughed at that time and got very upset because we couldn't get out of the room and buy more souvenirs. Finally, we wnt back home safely. That's all about my trip to Malaysia last year. How about yours? Tell me about your trip!
