msia!

hello y'all!! :) since today's my relax at home day i haf nothing to do i need to ENJOYYY before diet-mugging month of APRIL!! ho ho! i decided to start PLANNING our msia trip so tt we can at least START doing sth! how exciting :)

1. date
4 to 8 may, tts wednesday to sunday

2. the plan
how does 2NPenang 2NKL sound to yu guys?
SO IDEALLY we can Singapore -(fly)-> Penang -(train)-> KL -(bus)-> Singapore

i just found out tt the penang-KL train leaves penang 2130 and arives KL at 0635
which really means
4May - go to penang, stay at the beach apartment
5May - check out of apartment, go shopping in the city, eat etc, at 2130 catch a train to KL
6May - reach KL at 0635 HAHA no idea wat we're going to do but anyway shop check into hopefully micasa apartments for a BATH and then shop shop shop shop shop till we drop
8May - leave KL back for Singapore!


3. travel by bus (and air) to penang
my mom says tt konsortium is the cheapest bus service so im surfing around the website.. i really am trying to find a nice bus tt has a nice lounge like the aeroline ones so we can sit around and talk tt wud be quite fun i tink! but then again vic's rite its only a 4h busride so.. well..
click here to see the different kinds of buses going to msia!

ALTERNATIVELY (and this is wat i tink is REALLY cool) we can take Air Asia to penang how super fun we can take 170 to the senai airport and then fly to penang HAHAHAHA its only 40RM for the flight leh! cheaper, and FASTER i tink.. than the bus cause it takes so long to drive up to penang! abt 10 hours i tink. i may die.. haha.. and i tink its quite fun lahh. however, we will need to.
1. take 170 to Larkin bus terminal - $1.60, about an hour
2. take a bust to Senai airport - $2.00, about 45 minutes
3. fly to Penang - 40RM, departing Senai 1045, ariving Penang 11.40

4. staying in penang
i really like the sound of sri sayang service apartments its only 108 RM per nite for a 2 bed room suite! so cool! AND its next to the beach! but no free breakfast haha
for a hotel in the city, hotel grand continental sounds good, 100RM per room per nite!

click here to see all the penang hotels

5. the train from penang to KL
all right we have 4 choices of seats on the train
Economy seats - 17 RM
Superior seats - 30 RM
Economy beds - 43 RM
Superior beds - 85 RM
click here to see the seats.. we're taking Ekspres Langkawi.

since we'll be sleeping and i dont really fancy sleeping on a bed in a train i really tink we shud take the superior seats HO HO quite fun :)

6. staying in KL
i think a really good idea is to stay at federal hotel which is right on the shopping belt. like RIGHT on the shopping belt. like REALLY REALLY RIGHT on the shopping belt like how mandarin hotel is on orchard road. it's the cheapest there too its about 200RM per room per night. alas. but there's no breakfast which i tink really is a good idea because the breakfast there according to my brother is total crap. hurhur. last nite's leftovers..

im still very pleased abt the perfect penang-KL train timing we save one night's hotel rate! ho ho and i've been doing this msia thing THE WHOLE DAY haha so fun

Anyway, click here for a list of the KL hotels

7. the bus from KL to Singapore
i wud like to take aeroline because its a double decker bus for $47 one-way from KL on a plush bus i like it cause they haf a lil lounge downstairs with a sofa and table where we can sit and play cards :) but then again $47 may be a bit steep so there's always the dubious $27 or $35 variations but PLS PLS PLS can we PLS take this $47 i've looked i tink its the best deal for the better versions of buses and i really dont tink $47 is too much anywya it's only like $20 more than the other crummy buses and i LUV the lil lounge pls pls pls pls pls anyway we're a democracy. alas. pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls??

8. TOTAL COST
Getting to Penang - $30 inclusive of taxis here and there, bus rides, and Air Asia ticket
Staying at Sri Sayang - 108 RM
Train from Penang to KL - 30RM each
Staying 2 nights at Federal hotel - 782RM
Aeroline bus ride back - $47 each

so assuming 5 pple (zw tranny chiu tqiu and i) (jaliy i really hope yu'll be able to come too)
and assuming the exchange rate is 2.3RM to 1 sing,
we each pay for the WHOLE trip $170, travel and accomodation and this is INCLUDING my wonderful Aeroline bus ride back from KL!! wahahahaha!!
so including shopping, food, and taxi here there everywhere, guess we'll spend about $300 each for a 5D4N holiday HOW COOL IS THAT hahahahaha

sounds good yes? :)

please say wat yu tink so that we can make alterations and arrangements ASAP. damn fun!

alas my day of enjoyment is almost over.. see yu guys tmr! im going ot bring TimTam- dangerous liasons.. haha i haf a DELIGHTFUL range of Arnott's now daddy mummy just brought them all back from australia wahahahahahaha!! :)

alas. the diet starts tmr. and so does the mugging. see yu!

ah. tis the beauty of group travel. 782 divide by 5 (hopefully 6) divide by 2.3 (exchange rate) = 63 per person
