It took me 2 days to research for the best price and package 2 weeks before our departure: Online prices, hotel and coach prices, packages, convenience, online reviews and all the what-nots. Just my luck when I found a gem among the many travel agents at Golden Mile. S$180/pax for a 2-way coach and 2 nights stay at Renaissance Hotel. That is considered a superb deal if you do the math. Well, what can i say, it's my Hubby's birthday as well as our 2 year wedding anniversary. We Should celebrate. =) When I did my reservation with the travel agent Uncle, I tried asking for a double decker coach, but he said the price is not worth it since we spend only 5 hrs in the coach. Taking a double decker coach to KL was what Hon has always wanted. But too bad, no luck. When the day of departure came, I asked the Uncle,"So how, Uncle? How many people going? What's our seat number?" He replied," Lu dua orang sama lagi satu orang saja... jadi lu chinchai chinchai suka 'ati duduk mana lu suka laaa. Gua kasi lu double decker bus." I can never forget that line. Haha!!! Comical. Imagine our surprise. Only 3 passengers in a coach. Fuh! Best!
Just the 3 of us. So we sat at the most front seat. Forgive the obscenity of our freedom to put our legs up. =P
Once we reached the hotel, we checked in.
Our free Buffet Breakfast area...
Hotel Grounds
Our poolview room
We headed out to lunch since were famished! Of course, the first choice would be.... Nando's chicken, as always. Would never miss this out for the world. I love the extra hot periperi!
Next day, we headed to Pavilion to do some shopping madness! Pavilion is the new KLCC. Pavilion is the new ION of KL. Endless storeys of shopping galore! We recce the place and loved it. Tis' the season to burn a hole in your pocket. Shoppaholics will go crazy in here, trust me. Sale season too!
Out shopping again the next day. Look at my messy unruly hair. It's time to do something about it. So i rebonded it for only RM129!! While I rebonded my hair (which took 3 restless hours), Hon was busy shopping for his 'Birthday Presents' from me. My Hon can really shop!! Even I lose in that area! And I'm a woman! I gave him a budget of 'ahem ahem' dollars, and zoom he went shopping from shop to shop. In the end, he got what he wanted... and I'm happy!
We surveyed KLCC and we can't find anything from there...From Left: KLCC, Sungei Wang, Outside Pavilion...
Who could resist A&W? Coney Dog, Curly Fries and Root beer float!!!!!
On our third and last day, our pockets were all holed out.... Our bus will be coming to fetch us at 3pm. We had to be at the lobby by 2.30pm. And it was 1.30pm. We were bored of shopping. It was a spur of the moment. We need activities to keep us sane. Since we have already checked out from the room, we can't possibly go back to the hotel and rest. Rest is not in our dictionary for that moment. We wanted to explore more. Then we saw that KLCC has this Underwater World thingy called Aquaria. Very spontaneously, we went for it. Let the pictures below do the talking, I'm quite daft explaining about marine creatures. Or more so.. I'm not a marine biologist. It was beautiful...... Next mini-trip will be an underwater adventure for sure. =)
Piranhas and baby crocodile
Frogs' eggs and Before-Tadpoles
Tadpoles without legs and Tadpoles with legs.
Baby frog and Adult frog... Ribbit! Ok ... this is good material for teaching Science! Life Cycle of a Frog... Sigh... reminds me of my tutoring days...i miss it.
Dunno what fish... and the famous lionfish, made notorious by Deuce Bigalo...
Do you know that sharks have many rows of sharp teeth? And Hon enjoying the travelator.
Turtles are beautiful. Look at it swim and all your worries fade away... On the right.. the hiding fish.
Got surf, Dude!! And Find Nemo!
Dory and Nemo going on an adventure..... ANd a super humongous Fish!
I have a love for turtles.... and the enormous fish again!!
Wanna know how big it is? The fish talking to the boy in red. I grant you 3 wishes...Your wish is my command.... Arrrghh!! My mind is corrupted with children's stories la! Excuse me!
Yup! It's THAT big! Can cook buffet dinner for 20. On the right are jellyfishes! Would love to have one at my home as an interior decor... would be kinda cool yea!! See them floating around in the circle.. hehehe!
A lovely pair of seahorses... wrapped around each other... On the right is fiery red shrimp!
The 'transformers bumble bee frog'. The name coined by You-Know-Who..... And a tree lizard.
THE END! Makes you wanna visit Malaysia's Marine Parks, right?? Interesting ey? Well, that was it!! Our KL Honeymoon.... so-called. We enjoyed everything! Not to mention meeting up with Tina, our good friend from KL... Congratulations on your marriage to Fairul, Dear!
We are already saving up for our next trip next year....... Hon's dream destination. Will reveal soon. =)
P/S: Happy 29th Birthday Honey!! We're old!!! But if we stay young at heart, nothing else matters! I Love You, Zaini!! Happy 2 years of marriage!! Next year will be an amazing year! Look forward to it. =)
