Happenings

We woke up by 6.30 and got ready by 7.30 had our breakfast. This time the breakfast was eatable. We had a heavy breakfast  with some flavored rice,curry, pancakes,yogurt and all. Done with the breakfast we asked the Hotel travel manager about the fastest mode of transportation to UNIVERSAL STUDIO . She said take a taxi and asked If we had Universal Studio Passes. We brought 4 passes from her , To reach universal studio by metro was a daunting task as we had to change metro 3 times then catch a bus . We thought of it time consuming and equally tiring. So we booked a taxi  and in 20 minutes  he dropped us  at the basement parking of the Universal Studio. Two flights of escalator and we are straight into the Universal Studio Gate. Long queue was getting even more longer to get into the theme park. After 30 Minutes we were inside with lot of luggage. We then kept one luggage except 2 cameras in the locker room. 5 SGD wasted as the automated Locked doesn’t return an...

Good morning . After yesterdays short but eventful journey, we will be going today on a half day Singapore City tour and in the second half will be going to the beautiful SENTOSA ISLAND .I woke up by 6 in the morning and did all my morning chores and got ready by 7.30. She got ready by 8 in the morning. As it was strictly written on our itinerary ,to reach hotel lobby by 8.30 Sharp, we made it quick to the breakfast café . Breakfast here is not as good as in KL. No Indian breakfast but they had some colorful flavored rice with rajma and chhole along with other items for the English breakfast, I enjoyed the English Breakfast as well as had some of the rice among with Juices an add. Ate like a king as I knew we will not be getting any Indian food but to survive on Pizza and burger on some outlet. However, we came to the hotel lobby by 8.30. The Lobby was jammed packed with Chinese tourist. There is a lot of similarity between tourist from China and tourist from West Bengal. The c...

We both woke up very early by 5 AM s we have to catch up the Flight for Singapore at 10AM. As the Airport was 1 hour from the hotel , we got ready by 6.30 AM after packing up everything and bringing down the luggage to the lobby. We 4 were the first to have breakfast and we quickly went to the stall outside to have the ROTI CANAI . I took my favourite bread toast and egg omelette with other Malaysian cuisine. We   were done with the breakfast by 7 AM and straight away proceeded to the Airport on a SUV. By 8 we reached the KLIA2 and boarded the flight at 10 AM and reached Changi International Airport by 11 AM. Did all the immigration formalities , picked up some maps and tourist information leaflet from the airport and came out to meet the person who was waiting outside the airport to pick up us and drop at the hotel. It was a 8 seater van like the city tour van we had in KL. The driver Mrs IMRA was a Muslim lady with a grave attitude wearing a light pink hijab with a bl...

  My eyes opened at 5.30AM  with the view of Petronas Twin Towers and the KL Menara  but this time all the lights were switched off. What a view to start the day. I usually wake up by 5.30 AM and here at Kuala Lumpur is no different. I did some stretching and completed my morning chores and got ready by 7.30 .She got ready by 7.45 AM. By 8 AM we 4 were ready and were in the restaurant in the lobby  for the breakfast.It was all meat except a few and except the English  breakfast  including bread ,eggs ,butter and all the croissant , muffins and the pancakes. As the ladies were acquainted with Indian breakfast , they seem disappointed and without any option and very reluctantly took bread and butter for the breakfast. I noticed one more stall outside the restaurant and went there and to my surprise could find  ROTI CANAI(Its a Malaysian Cuisine and in India it is Lachha Parathha with some added flavour) .Other than that there were Indian curr...

The day has finally come. Yes it is the 11 th of June 2017 ,the day we will be  flying to the great South East Asian nations with my better half and my close friend with her better half as well. We four boarded the Airasia flight from Bhubaneswar at 23.55hours with much fanfare, excitation, jubilation, curiosity and many more adjectives which will fall short in expressing our feelings. It was the second foreign trip for me and Malay and the first for the ladies. The lucky ladies who are going to a foreign land just after a few days of receiving their first and fresh passport. We are on an eight day trip to south east Asian nations,2 days at KualaLumpur,3 days at Singapore and 3 days at Bali, Indonesia in the mentioned sequence. We Landed at KLIA2 Airport i.e Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 which is a Low cost carrier Airport operated by AirAsia. Only Airasia flights can be seen everywhere in the airport. I believe no other flights are allowed here. However, we landed at ...
