Our Family Vacation - 4D3N KL/Sunway Lagoon

We are backed from our short 4 Days 3 nights Kuala Lumpur & Sunway vacation.

As the Malaysia Mega Sale carnival 2007 is happening during these times, I find this trip is much enjoyable than our last trip in September 2006. Also it is the Arabic holiday seasons, so we get to meet many Arabic tourists and it is really quite an eye-opener for me.

Our Free & Easy itinerary:

Day 1 – Wednesday, 15 August

10 am – departs for Changi Airport for check in on our Flight SQ 103, as we were early, we had MacDonald breakfast.

10.40 am – Check in and walk around our famous Changi Airport. Found some leg massage machines and Anthea tried them and she found them to be very fun.

12.30 pm – Flight departs for Kuala Lumpur

1. 25 pm – Arrived KLIA – Meet & Greet by local Agent and fetched us to Berjaya Times Hotel

3.25 pm – check in hotel – we had a Superior Suite, so the room size was big. We had a King-sized Bed and Extra bed. It had a lounge area for watching TV and having meals. Also it had a small pantry for coffee & tea making.

Our room was on the 35th floor and it faced the swimming pool. When Anthea and Anders saw the pool, they kept asking to go to the swimming pool. So we went for a swim.

6.30 pm – Dinner at Berjaya Times Square – Explored Times Square. I was really amazed at the sized of the shopping complex and also the indoor Cosmo Theme Park. As we just had dinner, so we decided to do the Theme Park rides on the next day.

Shopped in Metrojaya and Anders managed to chose for himself an Ultra man. Returned to hotel room around 10 pm with supper from MacDonald (again) and the children were very happy and kept saying: “we enjoy life in hotel room.”


Day 2: Thursday, 16 August

9 am – woke up and went for Hotel buffet breakfast. The spread was good and I managed to try Roti Canai and I must said “it’s good…especially the CURRY.”

10.30 am – Took the KL Monorail system and changed to LRT to get to KLCC. A colleague of mine had recommended that I should go to the Science Centre and after doing some research, we found this place called Petrosains.

It had many interactive games and areas for the children. Both Anthea and Anders had Great Fun in the centre and we spent a good 2 ½ hours trying most of the stations and we watched a 3D show + a helicopter simulator ride. The admission fees for Petrosains are RM 12.00 for adult and Child is RM 4.00. As there was some 1st 50 FREE entry for children, so Anthea need not pay for her admission. Overall we paid RM 24.00 + RM 5.00 for the 3D show.

2 pm - We had lunch at Madam Kwan’s. Adrian tried the Nasi Bojari, Anthea had a Fish & chips and Anders had the Chicken mushroom with noodle. I took a bit of the above 3 and also we ordered a cendol. They served the gula separately.

After a good lunch, we walked around KLCC and I was really, really impressed by the levels of shops they had. Adrian went to Kinokuniya to browse his books and I brought the children to Isetan children section. Anthea chosed a Little Mermaid VCD for herself.

4 pm – We left KLCC and return to our hotel. We did not do the KLCC bridge walk as there were no more tickets for the day. We went for a swimming when we reached back to the hotel. Anthea and Anders simply enjoy playing by the pool.

6 pm – We had dinner at Time Square. After dinner, I brought the children to the Cosmo Theme park. Admission ticket for Adult is RM 30 and child is RM 20. As we had Singapore Airlines Boarding passes, we had some discounts. The theme park had many exciting rides for both adults & children. We only did the children rides and both of them had fun doing the different rides. We left the place near to closing times and both of them were so reluctant to go back.

Again to enjoy life in hotel, we bought back some breads and Mary brown takeaways.

Both of them slept almost near to midnight…. : P

We spent almost 3 hours in the park. The children enjoyed the wave pool and also they went round the pool in a rubber boat that Adrian rented. They had so much fun at the slide as well. Seeing them enjoying themselves so much make the trip priceless.
