Journey to Malaysia (Part2 - Bukit Bintang and Twin Tower)

29th September 2014, we arrived in Malaysia. Karen and Sue (Suzzlina) picked up us in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) by 2 cars. It took us about an hour and half to reach Symphony House (our office). After we arrived, they showed us the condominium where we stay for 4 months, Puncak Seri Kelana Jaya.

Because the Condominium is just the opposite of Symphony House (the building name where Lemon Sky is), we just need to walk there. Should be careful tho, cars are driving fast here, feels like the driver want to hit somebody -lol. Cars are everywhere and motorcycle are not much, unlike in Indonesia who riders rule the road.

 

Then we stayed in Ryan, Jaka and Te's unit, temporary. Because we can't occupied our room until October 2nd. The boys sleep in the livingroom while the girl staying in other unit. Ryan, Jaka and Te are our workmates, Ryan is a Lead Animator and Jaka is Animation Supervisor at Lemon Sky. Thanks for those two and all fellow Lemon Sky animator we learn a lot!

We stay in part of Malaysia that not so crowded i think, like BSD. Before our first day on the job, we walk around and enjoy Malaysia.

We learn to travel in MRT, which the ticket is a blue coin (looks like mineral water's cap) with RAPIDKL written on it. We need to tap the coin when we want to ride the train then insert it when we go out.

We went to Bukit Bintang and KLCC that day, forgot how much station passed to reach KL Sentral. Then we took LRT to reach Bukit Bintang. Bukit Bintang is a large area of shopping district i think. There's one huge mall that we visited there, Pavillion, not so fancy because it is just a mall yeah i know mall is everywhere. At least they speak Malay not Indonesian there -lol.

This is my first time go overseas FYI, so KLCC is a tourism object for me, that i think i should take a picture with -don't laugh at me i know it's so mainstream lol. We roam around too long in Bukit Bintang, then it already night when we came to KLCC. And it's best to come when it night because the Twin Tower looked so bright and cool - i know it looks like an image straight from google lol.

Then we went back to Condo and arrived at Kelana Jaya MRT Station 11 PM i think, fortunately the public bus still operated. So we ride bus rather than getting 3 taxis for all of us. Because i heard taxi in Malaysia will charge you double after midnight. It was a fun first trip, and we will continue the story in next part where the Animation Study Journey never stop! :D
