Malaysia Kuala Lumpur And Malacca 25/8 – 29/8/2010 Day 2

Waking up about 2100 hrs, we had breakfast on the go whilst making our way to Desa Park City for an appointment with Naz and Jasmine, the franchisees of Kizsports.

As this is a pretty new development, we could not locate the address on the Garmin Global Positioning System and got lost somewhere along the way. Calling Naz, we met her at the nearby Tesco Kepong and she led the way to the destination.

Lasting slightly over an hour, the meeting finally ended about 1200 hrs. We then drove to the nearby Kepong Village where the first thing we did was to fill our stomachs.

Medan Selera at Tesco Kepong

Making our way to Medan Selera, we decided to order the Indian food which turned out to be quite delicious, especially the mutton bryiani (yellow rice) which was very fragrant and with a nice aroma, though the price was a bit steep for a food court.

The August special of rice and tandoori chicken was quite good too though the chappati was a little tough.

Shopping was next on the list at Tesco before we passed by Bean Garden and decided to buy some ‘kaya balls’ snacks. Freshly made, they cost RM2.80 for 10 pieces and were great tasting and delicious when eaten piping hot.

Kaya balls - mmmmmmm...... yummy

Resting after shopping in Tesco

After the Tesco shopping, we made our way to AA Pharmacy in Sri Petaling to purchase some medication before returning to our Malaysia accommodation, Blessings Homestay in Bangsar Park. With a short break, we were totally refreshed and proceeded to Eco-Oasis, an organic café in Jalan Riong, 1 km away from Blessings Homestay.

At Eco-Oasis, we had an organic meal, met up with another ten friends and had a great time networking as well as conducting the Get Real evening. Facilitating the Get Real evening, we basically showed people how to live in their truth and gain more clarity in their lives.

It was a productive evening and we ended at 2230 hrs. After packing up our stuff, we went to Jalan 222, also known as Jalan Templer, where the famous black Hokkien mee is located. We had our supper consisting of the all-popular black Hokkien mee before eagerly returning to our Malaysia accommodation for the night, Blessings Homestay.

Here at Blessings, we met Mun, the owner of this cozy Homestay and managed to chat with her on the disappearing foods of Malaysia as well as antiques that could be found sprawled around Blessings Homestay.

Malaysia Kuala Lumpur And Malacca 25/8 – 29/8/2010

Leaving with my friends Lisa & Lionel to Kuala Lumpur on 25th Aug, we started the drive into Malaysia at 0800 hrs. Our main purpose for going into Malaysia this time round was to meet up with friends and have a ‘Get Real’ Evening tonight as well as tomorrow night.

Taking our time to get to Kuala Lumpur, we stopped by Machap Rest & Relaxation for breakfast. We love the Malay food here and we enjoyed the authentic Malaysian breakfast.

Going on, we stopped again at Ayer Keroh Rest & Relaxation just to stretch our legs before moving on to Kuala Lumpur. We made good timing and reached Kuala Lumpur Malaysia at 1300 hrs.

Since we were in Kuala Lumpur, we decided to visit Antswork Communications Showroom to check out some packaging materials and supplies. However, we could not locate the location on our Garmin Global Positioning System and had to call them for directions. We finally found their showroom; which was located in a condominium in Sri Petaling.

We checked out the café at Endah Puri to have lunch since the person with whom we had an appointment was having lunch. We tried some foods including the hokkien mee and loh shee fun, different versions of noodles which were not too bad and reasonably priced.

Next we went to Antswork and admired some of the uniquely designed boxes and discussed prices of some of the packaging designs which we were interested in.

Another sweet design

After more than an hour there, we made our way to our Malaysia accommodation for the night, Blessings Homestay in Bangsar Park. Located within 10 minutes walking distance of Bangsar LRT station and 5 minutes drive to Mid Valley Mega Mall, Blessings Homestay is uniquely designed as a quiet and eco-sensitive home; built with a combination of recycled and modern materials.

After taking a short break there and freshening up, we made our way to Eco-Oasis café, 1km away from Blessings Homestay. Here, we would be meeting up with some of our warrior friends at 2000 hrs and having a Get Real evening, a session designed to show how one could gain more clarity in one’s life.

It was a wonderful meeting session and although the session ended at 2230 hrs, we did not leave till after midnight as one of our friends stayed behind to connect further.
