This morning, we woke up REALLY early, at around 5am. Daddy wanted us to wake up so early because we are all going on a family road trip!!!
At around 6am, we set off from Sengkang to Clementi to pick Yeye up, then off we go to Malaysia via the Tuas second link. We all had yummy MacDonald's breakfast along the way.
It was an extremely cozy ride because we have exchanged our car with George yeye and was driving his gigantic Vellfire! Woohooo!
Along the way to KL, we made a few pit stops to rest, stretch our legs and go to the toilet (for me and didi it is to change our diapers).
Finally at around 1pm, we arrived at KL city and checked in to Piccolo Hotel which is on Bintang Walk, right smacked in the heart of all the shopping malls! As we were early and our rooms aren't ready yet, so we decided to go to the nearby Pavilion mall to meet Godma Nora and Ruben didi for lunch. They were also in KL over the Christmas holidays.
After lunch, we went back to our hotel to check into our rooms for a little freshening up. A while later, we left the hotel and took a taxi to KLCC - the Petronas Twin Towers. The twin towers are sooooooo tall, they reach all the way up to the sky among the clouds! Mommy said this is a signature landmark of KL.
We snapped alot of photos outside KLCC. After that we went inside the Suria KLCC mall. It was so huge! Mommy bought didi some new clothes and I get to sit on the kiddy rides.
We were all quite exhausted after the long journey and the shopping, so the adults decided to head back to Pavilion where we can have dinner at Crystal Jade (Yeye has been eyeing the sharks fin soup). By this time, my eyelids are getting very very heavy and I fell asleep on didi's pram and slept through dinner.
Mommy's Notes on KLCC
The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers or KLCC) are skyscrapers and twin towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 until surpassed by Taipei 101, but remain the tallest twin buildings in the world. The building is the landmark of Kuala Lumpur with nearby Kuala Lumpur Tower.
Designed by Argentine architects César Pelli and Djay Cerico under the consultancy of Julius Gold and Filipino engineer Domingo Basa, the Petronas Towers were completed in 1998 after a seven year build and became the tallest buildings in the world on the date of completion. They were built on the site of Kuala Lumpur's race track. Because of the depth of the bedrock, the buildings were built on the world's deepest foundations.
The towers feature a skybridge between the two towers on 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest 2-story bridge in the world. It is not attached to the main structure, but is instead designed to slide in and out of the towers to prevent it from breaking during high winds. The bridge is 170 m (558 ft) above the ground and 58 m (190 ft) long, weighing 750 tons. The same floor is also known as the podium, since visitors desiring to go to higher levels have to change elevators here. The skybridge is open to all visitors, but tickets are limited to 1700 people per day, and must be obtained for free on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors are only allowed on the 41st floor as the 42nd floor can only be used by the tenants of the building.
