Kaula Lumpur

The Place I Visited Most Recently
People say one whole day is sufficient to visit KL - though it's correct, we can feel true beauty of a place if we see it both in day light as well in  night colors . So planned accordingly for KL trip during Chinese new year. Every Single shop (Big/Small) will be closed for Chinese New Year in Singapore. So we were bit worried whether the same will be the case in KL even(we called a known taxi driver for transport in KL - he said he is on leave for Chinese new year).But Luckily it was not the case.

Landed in KL Airport @ 6:30 PM  - donno where to go - How to go :D alwaz question marks when we go to any new place. Finally got introduced to one tamilian who is familiar to KL. she came with her ofc colleges in Singapore to KL. She guided us saying cab will be expensive in KL and took us to bus terminal - bus from  kl - LCCT Terminal to KL - Central is just 9 RM:) if its cab it will be not less than 90 RM.God Bless her she gave us a good thought. We decided to roam all over KL using only public transport :) Reached KL Central @ 8:30 . Our Hotel is Just 10 Min drive from Central. Reached hotel @ 8:45. checked in , refreshed ourselves and went out for dinner. We got one Tamil Hotel for Dinner. I am so hungry , I ate what ever Chaitanya ordered.Roamed all around our Hotel on KL roads. It's more or less similar to Indian Style. Roaming on those roads I just remembered  roaming in T.Nagar Chennai .Got some fruits (apples , oranges) and headed back to Room. Planned to get up early around 5:30 and go for petronas towers.(all plans are meant for Re-Plan ;)) .Couldn't sleep in new place , struggled till 1:00 Midnight and was finally was able to sleep. So couldn't make up for petronas towers in the morning :(
 got up @ 7:30 - 8:00 . Set Out for breakfast at 9 :00. same night's Tamil Restaurant. Got information as how to go for Batu Caves from Restaurant guy.Bus stop for Batu caves is just a walk away , so went and boarded bus to go for Batu caves- fare 5RM :p (succeeded in using public transport :)).It's one hr Journey to Batu Caves. Soon as we get down from Bus, we can see Sri Murugan Statue from even far distance.It's amazing - 140ft Statue and so lively. (చూడటానికి రెండు కళ్ళు చాలవు అన్నట్లు ఉంది స్వామి విగ్రహం )Can't take your eyes away from cing MURUGAN.
The steps behind the statue are way to enter the cave. cave is full of god / goddess. We have a main Temple of Sri Murugan inside the cave. we can see lot many tamilians coming for this temple.So many Tamil/Andhra restaurants around the temple. Have to be cautious choosing Restaurants, they serve chicken as veg saying it is "veg chicken"- donno why it is so :D but we experienced it there :) Finally headed back to our hotel room at around 2:30 - 3:00. There is a Central market-a mall kind of thing near our Room. Why to leave it :D Did some shopping over there. Mall was good with lots of variety shops :) Went to Room , Rest for about an hour and started to visit Petronas towers.Again inquiry on how to go to Petronas towers using public transport.It's quite easy. Our Hotel room is just opposite to pasir seni LRT. get an LRT there and its just 4 stops away :)Got down at LRT and came out.. Were worrying which way to go - Our Hotel Receptionist told it is very near, but we couldn't see any big towers in that area except the one which is just in front of the LRT. Roamed around for 5 - 10 min .Me and chaitu were stunned at the height of the building just in front of  us. we couldn't c the tip of the building even we raise our head totally.So we thought to go the other side to have a nice view - OMG - we are sooo stupid, that itself is Twin Tower alias Petronas Towers. Worlds tallest tower till 2004. Every body over there were struggling to take the full pic of that tower - it's bit tough :)we were there at 5PM but waited there till day light faded and then they switched on all the lights around tower.. ooooo, it's tooooo gud :)Worth seeing.We can go till that sky bridge. but it's restricted over specific timings in morning. We missed it as we couldn't woke up in the morning,but evening view was also quite good. Visited the malls inside the petronas towers building. I lost my scarf somewhere roaming in mall :( . We went to KL tower 15 - 20 min walk from petronas tower. It was also quite good but for me petronas was awesome. came back to Room, had dinner, Need to catch early morning 6'O clock flight. had a nice sleep as we were tired . Next day morning in Airport we had Paratha Roll as breakfast @ 6 :00 AM .It's Super. very Good taste :)Finally back in Singapore by 9 :00 AM. Nice trip . Worth going
