Day 1 (Oct. 31) - Left Singapore at 8am for KL by bus. 6 hours travel time but it was the most relaxing bus ride we have ever experienced (http://transtar.travel/olcoachquery.php).
How can one not? Lazyboy-like chairs with massage, individual 7.2" LCD TV, free food served by a stewardess, roomy leg room (we were seated at the 1st row of the top deck--just 3 seats per row), and very smooth ride. Enjoyed the country scene for a few hours before going to snooze land. We stopped at the Immigration area upon entering Malaysia for a short stop to register, then off we went for a non-stop trip.
Arrived KL late afternoon. After check-in, proceeded to tour KL Tower for a 360-degree view of Kuala Lumpur, Petronas Tower for photo ops, window shopping and dinner at Suria KLCC.

Day 2 (Nov 1) - City Tour before proceeding to Sunway Lagoon to spend the rest of the day there.

* Petronas Tower - went up to the bridge and enjoyed the view; watched a short film about its history.
Short stops at Merdeka Square (Independence Square), Railway Station, Tugu Negara and Istana Negara.
Spent the rest of the day at Sunway Lagoon where Gia had a grand time trying out the water slides. Bonding with Gia swimming around its different lagoons and trying out its many rides and attractions.
This
is where I rode a ship that swings 360degrees (sorry forgot the ride's
name), I shouted for Mother Mary! Goodness! I was literally upside down
when it intentionally stopped at 90 degrees---the ship's bottom was at
the top. So go figure how I looked like!

After Sunway, we requested to be dropped off at Suria KLCC to go to Aquaria KLCC-- which in my opinion is far better than Singapore's Underwater world. Why? I really don't know (I am sure they have almost the same species) but it impressed me more than Singapore's.
Missed Petrosains twice to Gia's disappointment. It closes at 6pm!
