Hey...... that's me in the First Hotel lobby :)

The second day.
I woke up early in the morning.
True, it's holiday time,
but I want to feel the atmosfer in this 'city in the cloud'

I was right.
Just like what I want.
It's still quiet,
the air is fresher than yesterday noon.
A lot of guests still sleep.
I like it.
Most of the guest spend their time in the casino.
Me...
I can't get in since I didn't use proper dress.
The dress code for man is use shirt and shoes.
I only brought t-shirt and sandals (hey, I want to enjoy my trip)

After enjoy the morning atmosfer,
I went back to room and take a shower.
Then me and mom go to have breakfast.
We have buffet for breakfast.

The buffet in the third floor.
We have fried rice, bread, potato, and.... lot of chocolate milk.
Not much menu, but I enjoy it.
Specially..... it's buffet. All I can eat.
And one thing I remember till now is.......
the view!
My table was beside the window.
so I can see cars, buses, and trucks below.
There was moving clouds out side the window.
It's so cool. Like in the movie.
The temperatur was 16 Celcius degree. brrrr......

8.00 Am we go to the lobby and found the taxi we ordered yesterday.
First , we go to Chen Swe temple.
It's a budhis temple.
New temple, but I like their architecture.
There is a pagoda there but it was close.
So we only can take the picture from outside.

Also there is a waterfall.
Above the waterfall there a big statue of Kuan Im.
We were only 30 minutes in the temple.
We don't explore much.

Then we move to the city, KL.
It took 1 hour to get there by car.

First we go to central market.
I don't like it very much, coz there's also traditional market like this in Indonesia.
After mom bought few keychains, we leave to KL Tower.

KL Tower is a telecommunication tower.
What make it special is, it surround by natural forest.
yes....
Natural forest. They named it Bukit Nanas.
Forest in the middle of metropolis.
That's amased me.
I never saw a forest in the middle of city.

We use elevator to go to the observation deck.
There we can lend a MP4 player.
There is explanation and story inside it.
Every window has number. So we can see and understand what are we watching.
The MP4 player tell us all.
There's 4 language : English, Mandarin, Japanese, Melayu.

After round the tower and take pictures, we're leaving again.
It's all ready noon.
Time to get lunch.

The driver (and guide) bring us to melayan food.
Too many chili and santan for me.
I dont like chili stuff.

After lunch, we ask to go to Twin Tower.
Here's the problem begin.
The driver don't want to go to the twin tower.
His reason is difficult to park the car.
Can you believe it?
Twin tower is Malaysian icon, and don't have parking car ????????

After debating, the guide only bring us to watch the Twin from the road.
Like a fool we watch the tower from inside moving car.
Great !!!!
I'll remember this guide service.

One thing that's bugging me..... I use travel agent from the airport.
The have booth in KLIA.
In my mind, they will be professional.
Guess I'm wrong.
For USD 100 I got 8 hours services.

Yes. This is my mistake that I mention in the first article.

And the bonus is........
the car can't go up to the genting highland.
With lot of excuses the driver ask us to go back hotel by bus.
What a great service.

Afternoon we got back to the hotel.
After taking a shower then we start to take a walk around the hotel complex.
Not long, we got dinner and mom back to the room.
She is tired.
Then she asked me to watch the show in the ball.
It's like circus.
Well, it's good enough to spend my time.
Then I go back to my room around midnight.
Mom already sleep.

Tomorrow we have to prepare to go to Singapore by bus.
Honestly, for the first time, I don't like KL.
May be because of the city tour service.
But I do love Genting Highland.
