it all happen when i had this travel bug few months back.apparently there was mas low fares happening so being me, the budget minister of the house,i drafted out iteneraries and the expenses and voila!flight tix pun booked.hehe.where to?we agreed and chose orient country this time, hong kong – considering the relatively cheap fare, no time diff, no jetlag, shortflight and roller coasters!he he.btw we get 2 return tix KLIA-HKG RM1508 nett.quite a bargain,huh?initially i proposed for the anniv weekends itself but my husband said that’ll be school holiday and byk kenduri kahwen maka we settle for the week before the anniv.wah melompat i sebab bajet i diluluskan oleh incik PM ;p
then we closed the topic we didnt talked about the trip AT ALL until a week before the trip which was end of last month!weirdo kan?
so we did all the booking and reservation a week before ie disneyland,ocean park, hotel.oh also tukar duit and leave application hoho..alhamdulillah everything went well except that the hotel was a bit far from the town since all famous (cheap) hotel already fully booked T.T
i also bought this travel guide c/w map and MTR (mcm lrt) route inside.maka menstadilah kami agar perjalanan lebih bermakna dan tidak sesat.hoh, mau nye tak sesat,sangat tipu haha.ade la sesat eh nanti i cite
parking@KLIA
our flight was on the 4th, 9.15 am.woke up as early as 5am and get ready.by 7am we already at KLIA, checked in.
btw we parked our car at long term parking area that costs us RM144 for 4 days.the parking area is only applicable for duration of more than 3 days only.note that.we find it cheaper coz taking cab will costs us rm100/trip -> not good.tu tak tambah surcaj sebelum jam 6pg.terkoyak poket..huhu
MAS satellite lounge
ok so we headed to the lounge which is the one located at international departure building.
the lounge is basically for first class and business class traveler only but i got the 2 pass using my enrich miles.it costs me 16,000 miles for the vouchers.
there was a drama behind this.i actually redeemed 2 vouchers back in dec.apparently the vouchers posted to my mom’s at shah alam and those vouchers hilang ok!that costs me 16,750 miles, 750 tu for postage.initially i redeemed to use my miles thats about to expired.end up i have to use another 16k to get new vouchers.kali ni saya pi redeem kat enrich ofis saje.fuh,geram.memang sayang la miles tuh tapi nak wat camno takdak rejeki huhuh.and we just want to kill the time before boarding..so we had breakfast,
camwhoring,wifiing,newspapering and phonecalling….
the journey
4 hours.it was my first mas international economy flight experience.the aircraft was slightly bigger from the domestic aircraft.tak sebesar yang pi london la ie ada double decker etc.and…yay ada inflight entertainment 🙂 wp sebenarnya takdelah tgk sgt pun.tgk one muvie ni halfway.pastu tgk one tv series halfway jgk
pastu tido.while my husband played game the whole time.he he.they served brunch in the middle
HKIA – tickets
touched down at almost 1pm.get our bags and off to buy train tix to hotel.we bought 2 tix ie airport express (HKIA – Tsing Yi, HK90 for 2pax) and octopus card(HK150 each)
oh we loove the octopus card.the function is similar to our touch n go but way better.why?bcoz when u use octopus, the MTR fare is reduced by 5-10%.and, very convenient as we can use the card to ride bus, ferry and even utk main tikam2 kat themepark.LOL.from the HK150, HK100 is the topup, and HK50 is the card.u can get back the HK50 and all remaining balance inside the card with only HK7 charge, cool huh?touch n go mana de wat gini he he
oh and the MTR – ada approx 8 looong coaches
panjang sangat.dan sentiasa ada penumpang.the public transports in HK are VERY reliable!
Oriental Lander Hotel
located only 5mins walking distance from Prince Edward MTR station
kami adalah sesat sebab kami baru perasan MTR station ni byk exit!!one station has almost 10 exits.so if you go to the wrong exit then you have to go all the way inside and find the correct one.yeah that was what happened to us..
not cool coz we were carrying our luggage and some of the exit doesnt come with escalator.fuh bepeluh2 angkut beg huhu.plus, it was raining a bit sabarjelah.ok the hotel,
costs us RM780 for 3 nights.not bad huh.the room rates are around that so terima je lah seadanya.the room is around 15′ x 8′.aha that small.dah la ada 2 katil single lak tuh haha!we requested to change the room to double bed but no room available.so layan~ kemas2 barang and siap2 untuk berjalan2 ke puncak HK! 🙂
Hong Kong International Airport
woww.. bestnya Hong Kong! hehehe.. kausar, how was the operation? sdgn resting di rumah kan?
