KL trip with Bie

Hello rainy KL! and I though commuting from the airport going to the hotel was easy. I forgot that we have bags with us. From the budget terminal we had to take a bus going to central station which was 2 or 3 hours long drive and to the central station we have to take a train going to KLCC which was jam packed! When we got of the train I got confused which way to go, we walked a mile or two of the opposite direction and went back to where we started. So much for lost tourist. Then after our walkaton, we approached a car driver and offered us a ride going to the hotel for 20 ringgit which was around Php280.00. Considering that we didn't know where the hotel was and how far it was we took the bait. The cab driver took a few turns and whala! we were there and I just felt that we got tricked. *sigh* I was just thankful that I made this trip with him since he was too protective of me.

After checking in our hotel we went to KLCC to have our dinner and a few tourist shot with the famous Twin Tower. We went back to the hotel since he had to call his office and check his emails (workaholic much).

KL was just our stopover if I may call it, it was a two day trip from our Singapore Trip. For the tour we don't have any planned activity. We're here to relax and enjoy the heat KL have. We just rode the hop in hop off bus which nearly had us miss our train. I was not able to go to the Pavilion to do some shopping for myself and my family because it was sooooo traffic. If we get off the bus to go to the shopping malls it will take us two hours of riding the next bus. Their traffic was worst that EDSA traffic that day wherein I was able to take a nap and when I woke up were still there.

But over all it was fun. I just hope that when we come back together in KL we went hurry and panic this much.

xoxo!

Loving Changi Airport

Staying inside the airport for several hours is sooo boring! For me it's a waste of time but not when you're in Changi Airport. I was able to shop, watch a movie, have a foot massage and more.

Unable to join the Singapore City tour that we have planned out we decided to just stay inside the airport to wait for our flight. Since we have at least 3-5 hours to kill we decided to check in early and roam around the airport. First stop Sunflower garden. For some reason it is hotter in Singapore compared to Manila so when we went outside the garden we could feel the heat of the sun. Due to lack of sleep we felt relieved that we did not go on the Singapore City tour that we planned prior to us arriving in Singapore. After that we went to the movie section of the airport to watch half of the movie since we already watched it "The Tooth Fairy" I think that was the title. After having enough rest we went to the internet section, checked some mails and went on our way to continue touring the airport. Our next stop the perfume and cosmetics department. Of course he bought himself a perfume and I bought myself a lipstick and lip gloss and something to give to my mom.

There's really a lot of things to do in Changi airport. You can swim, sleep, shower, stroll and hang out at the butterfly garden or simply shop or do a window shopping. You just have to be ready to walk for hours and transfer from one terminal to another via their very own train.

But if your feet gets too tired from too much walking you can always stop by any vacant foot massager found scattered in the airport (specifically near gates and walkalators).
