Photos: Trip to Kuala Lumpur
I recently bought a new camera to support my new video blogs. I love it so far! It records great video, takes pretty good snaps, and the best part? It’s really portable! I sound like an advertisement! WTH. I’ve recorded one full video episode using this camera. Check it out by clicking the link. It’s not so bad […]

Hiking in Kota Tinggi Pt. 3
Click here for Part 1 and Part 2. It felt great that the scary part was done. By the next morning, I wasn’t really afraid of encountering a leech. No thunderstorm. Great weather. I stepped outside of the tent to help make sandwiches. I also evaluated the camp site. It was a flat area underneath a tall […]

Hiking in Kota Tinggi Pt. 2
You cannot pass. Gunung Panti won’t let us climb up its slopes. According to the mystery guide along the trail, we required a permit. Kap Cal was surprised since this was the first time he had heard of a permit after climbing many times previously. Was this a precaution after the tragic events at Mount […]

Hiking in Kota Tinggi Pt. 1
Leeches, lightning, hornets… these are some of the things I’m fearful of. So when you put all of these things together, you can imagine the fear on my face. I get squeamish at the sight of blood. A bolt of lightning is terrifying and it gives me goosebumps. Seeing any insect in large quantity, concentrated over […]

The gorgeousness of the PETRONAS Twin Towers
One of my favourite buildings in the world. I mean, why not right? It’s the tallest of its kind in Southeast Asia and it evokes a kind of powerful status for Malaysia and the region. I always enjoy looking at it.

Christmas Decor at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur
Felt like Christmas was invented by Malaysia! KL Pavilion was teeming with festive holiday decor. I couldn’t resist taking a few photos. KL Pavilion is located in Bukit Bintang near the Grand Millennium Hotel. It is connected to KLCC/PETRONAS Twin Towers by a covered walkway.

Jalan Alor, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I still can’t tell if Jalan Alor is more touristy now than ever. But since we were staying near Jalan Alor, we decided to have merienda and dinner there. The ambiance still feels raw and vibrant compared to the restored Chinatown Food Street in Singapore. The beef satay I tried at one of the stalls […]

Rainforest Bed and Breakfast, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This boutique hotel located near Changkat Bukit Bintang is wonderfully located in terms of accessing the monorail, KL Pavillion, and KLCC (via a covered walkway). That is if you don’t mind that the neighbourhood is a party place and you can hear the music thumping even in your room. I’ve stayed at backpacker’s places […]

Photos: Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The caves were amazing and large! Definitely worth a visit if you are going to KL. I wasn’t expecting the caves to be that large and vast. Incredible to climb up all those stairs. Batu Caves is a Hindu temple, and one of the most famous ones outside India. To get to Batu Caves, take […]

Photos: Tune Hotel klia2 (KLIA, Malaysia)
I’ve always wanted to try Tune Hotel. My past accommodations in KL were hostels in Chinatown and hotels in parts of the city. I’ve never stayed at an airport hotel before. J and I booked a night at Tune Hotel klia2 which is connected to the new klia2 terminal. Incredibly convenient and (above) budget-friendly. While […]
