Date: Monday, 1st December, to Tuesday 3rd December 2008
Itinerary:
Bayan Lepas, Penang - Ipoh, Perak - Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur - Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya -Bayan Lepas, Penang.

Monday morning, I woke up around 4.30am, started the trip early morning, around 6am, look around the surrounding of Penang, so quiet and not crowded. I like the breeze of cold, breezy wind and fresh air in the morning, makes me feel like I am in heaven. lolz.
Passed through the Penang bridge, had a nice view of the Komtar and also the port at Seberang Perai. Everything is still in sleep mode, no activities started at the early morning. On the bridge, containers which accommodate workers and also machines laid quietly along the bridge. No traffic jams on the bridge, few cars and I felt comfortable without all those massive traffics and noise.

Had my breakfast at Ipoh, not very clear which area it is, I had dried mihun with a bowl of Yong Tau Fu, quite nice but I think Penang's food is much better. lolz.. After feeding my hungry stomach, continue the journey to Kuala Lumpur (KL).

Reach KL around 11am, first thing was to find the hotel, corona Inn which is located at Jalan Tong Shin, off Jalan Bukit Bintang, it is a 3 star hotel which is near to Jalan Alor or Food street. I rate the hotel 2 and half out of 5 star, it can be considered as a budget hotel which suits all those backpackers. The room rate is cheap with a simple facilities. But for those who want a more comfortable rooms, I would recommend the following hotel which is One world hotel, located in Petaling Jaya. 5 star hotel, good service, marvellous room and facilities, connected to One Utama shopping centre and also near to IKEA, Ikano Power Center, The Curve and etc. I will intro and talk more about the One World Hotel on the next post.

Had a visit around the Bukit Bintang area, first we went to the Sungei Wang Plaza, Imbi Plaza and lastly Berjaya Times Square. These three shopping malls are located near to each other where you can have a 5 to 10 minutes walk to reach each malls. Sungai Wang Plaza and Imbi Plaza is located together along the Jalan Bukit Bintang, where as Berjaya Times Square is located along Jalan Imbi which is one street distance from Jalan Bukit Bintang.

We reached Berjaya Times Square from Sungai Wang Plaza about 10 minutes, crossing the road, flyover bridge and after squeezing around the crowded people and cars, finally we reached Borders Bookstore in Berjaya Times Square.
This photo below shows the surroundings of the Berjaya Times Square lobby.
The beautiful, enormous Christmas tree located at the center of the lobby in front of the main entrance of the shopping mall. It attracts a lot of visitors and tourists to take photos and look at it, as you can see from the photo. A lot of them take photos when they step into the mall, including me too. Haha!

After taking lift up to level 10 of the square, this is what I saw from level 10 to the Cosmo's World Theme Park at level 5. Cosmo’s World Theme Park, the Largest Indoor Theme Park in Malaysia has an overwhelming size of 133,000 square feet and is one of the main attractions in Berjaya Times Square. (Quoted from website).
The photos below show the roller coaster at the theme park, it is really scary when you watch the roller coaster go up and down, upside down on a thin railway, you sure will be afraid of it!

After I left the square, we headed to Petaling street or known as Chinatown, there are a lot of hawkers selling stuff with cheap and economical prices, it is a very crowded place, if you want to visit there, my advice is do not bring any handbags, keep and care of your valuables during visiting there.
Opposite Petaling Street, there is a place called SinMa Shopping center, we go there passing through a overhead bridge, on the bridge you can see a lot of cars, buses, motors underneath along the road.
And these what we had for my lunch at SinMa Shopping Center at a restaurant called 西门町餐厅, it is a restaurant which is designed and sell foods based on Taiwan, Xi Men Ding.
The spicy noodle I had is really spicy and quite delicious. Its spiciness really makes you feel like headache and suit for those who like to eat spicy food.

Besides that, sweet honey chicken chop rice set that my brother ate consist of a meatball soup, honey lemon tea and a dessert which is an jelly (not very nice),the chicken is quite tender and
the meatballs in the soup are nice with the chilli provided by the restaurant.

Next day, we stay in Bandar Utama's One World Hotel, I greatly recommend this new, 5 star hotel for you when you want to visit Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya which is also near to Mutiara Damansara and also Bukit Kiara.
We had visited IKEA, The Curve and also One Utama Shopping Mall in a day, I feel lucky because Malaysia Saving Sales are now everywhere in every malls from 29th November 2008 to 4th January 2009, so I managed to buy some clothes with a cheaper prices. :) So happy!!
I also had a pair of tired legs when back to Penang but with a satisfied feeling in my heart.
