Just came back from KL short getaway! (About one week ago, heex!) :) Overall the whole trip cost me around SG315 (including the Coach services to and fro, 2 nights of accommodation and spending).

Coach Services from 5 Star travel (SGD75)

For the convenience, I decided to buy the coach tickets from 5 Stars since they have a travel agency branch at Jurong Point outlet. The good thing about 5 Stars is that they are able to drop and pick us up at the hotel that we're staying in: Royale Bintang Hotel. In this way, we are to check-in faster and have a later check-out. But if you're planning to have a comfortable 5-hours of journey, I suggest Glassland agency as they've better coach services (of course with higher prices).

Accommodation @ Royale Bintang Hotel (MYR 218 per night, around SGD92)

I had stayed in this hotel with my family once during my 1st trip to KL. I think that the location of the hotel is good (along the Bukit Bintang Road) and they have good services. It is a 4-star hotel so I think the prices are considered reasonable. The room is big enough for us and it's clean with all the necessary facilities. The only meal we had in the hotel is the breakfast (inclusive of the accommodation price). It's a buffet style which serves different variety of food from Western to Asian delights. If you're planning to have a shopping trip in KL, this hotel is highly recommended because once you step out of the hotel, walk straight ahead is a whole stretch of shopping malls for you to shop till you drop! ^_^!!! There's also the subway stations located just 5 minutes from the hotel, so you can travel around KL easily without having to worry about the never die traffic jam! :)

I didn't spend much in KL because it wasn't their sales period. Without the sales, the things there are considered expensive since it's around the same price as compared to Singapore (if not, even more). Instead of doing shopping, we went to the KL Convention Center (KLCC) to try our luck to go up the Petronas Twin Tower. Unfortunately, we did not manage to do so. They only offered 1300 tickets daily (for free) and I was told that tourists usually start to queue for the tickets as early as 6am in the morning even though the ticket office opens at 830am. You'll be able to go up the 42nd floor where the sky bridge is and have a magnificent view of KL. However, you'll only be able to stay on the bridge for 10 minutes only. So, if you really get to step up so high in the sky, make full use of the time because I think it's going to be really beautiful up there! :) :) :)

Aquaria KLCC which is located inside the KLCC itself is considered one of the largest oceanarium in south-east Asia. If you're a student, remember to bring along your student card because you get to have a discounted price of MYR25 (adult price is MYR38) even though you're not their citizen. They have a really long plexiglass tunnel for us to walkthrough and see sharks and other species of fishes swimming beside you or above your head. If you have seen the Underwater World in Sentosa, Aquaria KLCC is something that is beyond your imagination.

Berjaya Times Square is the largest shopping mall in Malaysia (located just behind Royale Bintang Hotel) with the largest Borders bookshop, Cold Storage in South-east asia. Inside the shopping mall is the largest indoor themepark: Cosmo's World Theme Park. If you like those super exciting roller coaster and rides that make you go dizzy, this is the place for you! :) Besides having all the shops and theme parks, they also have a cinema that shows latest movies. One thing different about them is that at different timings, they have different prices for the tickets. Interesting right? :)

Lots of good food to explore and enjoy along the streets and bargain prices for shopping! KL is definitely one of the must-go place for a relaxing holiday! :) :) :)
