KL Trip 5-9th Jan 2009

Hey!

Just got back from KL last Friday night.... Here's an little update of the trip, the photos will be posted in the next post! ;)

5th Jan, we went down to Concorde Hotel's Taxi stand to wait for the coach to pick us up (Luxury Exclusive). It's quite comfortable lah... the seats were quite spacious, with a personal mini TV screen (they turn it on only after we cross the custom), the leg rest can be lifted up one... And best still, only 8 of us in the 29 seaters coach!!! yeah! Got to know a nice lady, Isabel from California, she was traveling on her own! Brave one!

Reached Istana Hotel at about 3.30pm... Checked in, and headed off to shop and have dinner with Isabel. The first shopping mall we "attack" was Lot 10. (Will see if I can get the map) There wasn't much to shop there, all quite expensive.. hehe.. I was looking for a pink dress to wear on William Nah and Theresa's wedding. And then we went out to hunt for food, there's no food court in Lot 10, weird... Ended up in an Indonesia restaurant, had a great dinner!! And we headed back to rest.

6th Jan, we headed out to look for the wholesalers building called Plaza GM, to check out some stuffs for Maverick's parents... It's located at Chow Kit, and it's not that prominent... but still my clever hubby found it! ;)

But after shopping there, we headed back, cos Maverick wasn't feeling good... His throat was "swelling"... And his temperature went up....

We still had dinner at the Jalan Alor food street first, cos he is still able to walk... The food were a bit saltish... when we head back to the hotel, he is starting to feel unwell again.

Through out the night, his fever did not subside even though he has taken 6 panadols in the day! Highest it went was 38.8 degrees, and lowest 37.7.. Had to stay up the night with him, as he was too uncomfortable to sleep. I had to keep changing the towels on his head every 10 mins, cos it's just so hot!

7th Jan, we managed to catch some sleep at around 8am, when his fever went down to 37.7. (Thank God! Don't have to go see the doctor) Isabel called us at 9am, and found out that Maverick wasn't feeling well, she offered to give us her powerful medication, that she has been using. So we agreed to meet her in the afternoon to get the medicine from her. Woke up fully at 9.30am, cos have to catch the breakfast provided by 10.30am.

After breakfast, we asked the securities and managed to find out that there's a Polyclinic just across the street. Back in the room we called our GP back home, to ask if she could give some anti-biotics for Maverick to his mum, as they will be joining us on the 8th... And yes! She agreed..
Maverick was feeling a bit better after breakfast, and we thought can go out walk a bit, should be better for him... So went down to Sungei Wang shopping mall to shop a bit.. but because he still wasn't too well, and I haven't got much sleep... we didn't really see much things. On our way back to the hotel, we met Isabel. We had dinner together at Alor Street, Isabel learnt how to use chopsticks!! There after we headed to shop a bit at the Low Yat and Imbi Plaza before heading back to the hotel, cos we were just too full! When we reached the hotel lounge, we decided to have a cup of coffee before going to bed, and there were some singers performing. They have great voice! Isabel got us the medication she recommended, so that Maverick can try.
After taking it, he did not feel drowsy like she said it would... so still he could not sleep through the night, and the fever was still there... going up and down... but this time it's better... did not hit too high... Then at about 3am, his temperature starts to fall... 37.7 , 37.5 , 37.... and finally back to 36.6 at about 4am.. and he managed to doze off... Thank God!

8th Jan, we slept till 9am as well... Thank God the temperature stayed at 36.6.. so he was more energetic!! Went down to have breakfast, and then thought of going to KL Plaza to shop a bit more before his parents arrive at 3.30pm.

Headed to KL plaza, but only ONE shop was open, as the whole building was going through renovation! Just our luck! Anyway, we decided to shop around, so we went in to StarHill, which have all the Branded Goods, with super STEEP price, just went in to take a few pictures... And then also went to Chulan Square, it's a restaurant "square" with all the food there! We didn't eat there... maverick saw a building behind this Chulan Square and he really likes the structure of the building.

Then we headed in to Pavilion, it's a new shopping mall, with the whole mall of International brands goods! It's quite expensive, though things are nice, decorations are nice. .. we only had lunch there, at a restaurant named: Athena. Good service, but a bit saltish food... keke

We wanted to watch a movie, but did not managed to , as the timing just not right. So we went back to the hotel, to wait for his parents' arrival. (It only takes 5 mins to walk to Pavilion, but we took 30 mins by taking a detour!!!)

At 3.30pm, his parents with an aunt arrived! We took them to the Alor Street (all three were so happy! cos they thought this place have closed). They did not eat much on the coach, fearing that they would vomit. And then to Sungei Wang to shop a bit before his auntie's niece came to pick her up at 6.30pm.

At about 7pm, we went down to Alor street to eat dinner!! And then to Sungei Wang to complete our shopping!! (Maverick got his bags there!) We only managed to head back to the hotel at around 10pm.

9th Jan, our last breakfast before heading back to Singapore. Had breakfast at 9.30am with his parents, and met Isabel at the breakfast place! After breakfast, we checked out and moved our bags to his parents' room. Then we headed down to Plaza GM, so that his parents could get some goods for their shop.

Then we headed to the nearby coffeeshop to have lunch... (same place we went).. The coffee is good~! And we headed back to the hotel with our shoppings!! And of cos , we needed to repack our bags with our shoppings!!

We boarded the coach at 3.30pm, reached Singapore at 9.30pm... Thank God there wasn't any jam!

End of our trip... Missing it...
