One Day trip to KLCC

Intro 

The semester exams are finally over. To celebrate and commemorate this grand event, me and my buddies whom hadn't returned to their respective hometowns decided to went on a free and easy journey to the infamous Petronas Twin Towers, the hallmark of Malaysia. 

Well, most of us will wonder, are there so many things to do in KLCC? My answer is, yes. You can explore here for a whole day and I am really serious about it :D

Here's the brief details of the trip:

  

 DATE: 12/12/2012 (What a coincidence!)

 TRIP DURATION: HAVE YOU READ THE TITLE? :P

 MODE OF TRANSPORT: Car, LRT

 PRICE: RM4 (Bukit Jalil to KLCC)

 HOW TO GO: 

There are many alternatives depending on the route you take. In our case, we live in Subang Jaya. Our nearest LRT station is at Kelana Jaya. However, we drove to Bukit Jalil and take the LRT from there to Masjid Jamek. Then, we transit from the Sri Petaling Railway line (green) to the Terminal Putra line (pink) that will take us to KLCC. Here's the LRT map in case you are confused:

 

                           

After an hour, we reached our destination. 

Verse 1 : Entering the Suria KLCC Shopping Mall  at 11am

Christmas is everywhere here! You can find Christmas decorations all over the place. Prepare and behave as you glance through the pictures or Santa ain't gonna grant you your wishes...

 What's with the spirals?

Confectionery shops disguised as candy houses.

                                                                                

 Christmas trees around the road.

Presents falling from the sky. I wanna grab some.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 Verse 2 : KINOKUNIYA BOOK STORE at 1pm

Behold, Kinokuniya! The largest bookstore to date at Malaysia. This fellow has been here for many years and was still the best bookstores to date with over 300, 000 different titles of different genres and of various languages. It was like a gigantic maze inside with different departments for different books and other merchandises such as collectibles are also sold in this haven for nerds. Let me show you how big is it:

(This is just a small section of it. I failed :( sob )

 Do you see that? The breathtaking scenery of the KLCC Park from the windows of Kinokuniya Book Shop.

It's time to go. Bye bye Kinokuniya.

Chorus : PETROSAINS (Petronas Science Centre) at 2:30pm

THE ENTRANCE

                                                                        

 The Petrosains is a fun-filled science discovery center that aims to make learning science fun via interactive ways and interesting approaches. It comprises of various exhibits that are divided into different sections which gives tonnes of information revolving science and technology as well as its main focus: Petroleum Industry and Technology. This interesting place can keep you and your kids occupied for hours while learning new things regarding science. At regular time intervals, there are Science Shows that demonstrate various interesting and simple experiments to keep children occupied. 

 At that day, there was so many people. The queue was so long. We only managed to bought tickets for the entrance after 30 minutes. Wait a minute, why do we need to queue to enter???

THE REASON WHY WE NEED TO QUEUE, WAS THIS!!

 Can't see clearly? Let me tell you. To enter the Petronas Science Centre, you need special rides like this picture at the bottom through

This is not my picture.

 Haha, my friends play around with the dinosaur hand puppets at the souvenir shop.

One of the sections in Petrosains, Petrojaya. This exhibit showcases the importance of petroleum to our daily life.

 Verse 3 : KLCC Park at 6pm

A humble, yet beautiful park with a lush, serene and enrapturing landscape behind the magnificent glory of the Petronas Twin Towers. This is a perfect place for people who want to take a break, rejuvenate and escape temporarily from the hustle and bustle of the city. 

Fountains that spurts water rhythmically in the park that transforms into musical fountains in the night. 

You can see many people brisk walking, jogging and strolling around the park at evening.

 The Convention Centre.

The paths that connect one to nature.
