A Free & Easy 4D3N KL Trip – Part 3

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on A Free & Easy 4D3N KL Trip – Part 3

Finally! The last part of my Free & Easy 4D3N KL Trip all the way back in October 2025. We changed hotel on the 3rd day. From Bukit Bintang to the Airport hotel, KLIA2 Tune Hotel. Before leaving KL, we went out to find lunch.

After lunch, we took a Grab to our airport hotel. Then, we went to Mitsui by taking the free shuttle from the airport.

Before boarding the plane, we ate a little at Din by Ding Tai Fung.

Haven’t been on Air Asia for ages! Anyway, safely landed in Kuching. On to the next travel soon…

It’s already 2026! I’m still sharing my experience of my Free & Easy 4D3N KL Trip that I made back in October 2025. It was a rainy day. Our initial plan was to go to Genting Highlands. However, due to the rain, we aborted the plan and just went around the city centre.

Part 3 coming soon! Need to get it done before February hahaha…

A Free & Easy 4D3N KL Trip – Part 1

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on A Free & Easy 4D3N KL Trip – Part 1

Oh wow! It’s almost Christmas, and I haven’t updated my impromptu free & easy 4D3N KL trip back in October hahaha… Here’s part 1…

It’s been a long time… I think my last trip to KL/Selangor for leisure was way back in 2015. It’s 2025 now. I won a flight voucher, and it had to be redeemed before September. So I decided to buy tickets to KL. Thanks to the massive RM500 discount. Our return tickets were quite cheap. However, we flew with low-cost airlines. Oh well… Just a domestic flight, it’s OK. It’s our first time flying Firefly.

Once landed in KL, we went straight to our hotel at Bukit Bintang. On the way from the airport, this humongous building, Merdeka 118, can be seen everywhere!

We arrived at our hotel, MOV Hotel. We check-in, and then headed out for lunch at Jalan Alor.

Encountered the lane with lots of street art when we went for lunch. It sure caught me by surprise as I never knew such a place existed.

Here’s a compilation of what we had at Jalan Alor. We went there for lunch before going into our room. Then went there for a walk to experience the evening vibes on the last evening of our stay at the MOV Hotel.

After lunch at Jalan Alor and some rest in the hotel room, we headed out to TRX and Lalaport. Here’s a compilation of photos and what we did there.

After that, we had dinner nearby at a rather new food court serving various choices of Chinese food.

The last place we went on the first day was Pavilion Bukit Bintang before we called it a night. Had a very expensive dessert hahaha… Really not our kind of food.

This pretty much sums up our day 1 in KL.

A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 8

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 8

This is the last post of my Kyoto and Osaka trip back in April 2025. It was a short trip, but it took me ages to complete this post hahaha!

Goodbye Osaka!

Checked out from Odysis Suites Osaka Airport Hotel . We took the airport shuttle to the airport. It was early, and it was raining. Our timing was perfect! There was no rain when we were in Expo 2025. Phew… If we were to go on this day, it would be a waste of money, time, and energy.

It was such a rush that we boarded the plane right after reaching the gate. No time at all to do a bit of shopping or even sit down at the departure hall.

Hi Vietnam, Hello Kuala Lumpur

We transited through Ho Chi Minh City, then flew to Kuala Lumpur. Spent a night at KLIA2 Tune Hotel before heading back to Kuching. The hotel is convenient for those catching an early flight at KLIA or KLIA2. If you are not into capsule hotels, then this hotel will be a good choice. There’s free shuttle to KLIA.

Bye Kuala Lumpur, Hi Kuching

That’s the end of my family trip to Kyoto and Osaka. It’s short because we spent almost half of the time in transit from airports to hotels. What to do… The flight ticket was only RM1K+ per pax with full-service airlines. If we want shorter travelling time, it would cost at least RM3K per pax! It adds up when you have an entourage of 8. At least my parents get to visit Japan at least once in their lifetime, and going with the whole family.

A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 7

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 7

Day 4, it’s time to head back to Osaka from Kyoto. We checked out of Hotel Keihan Kyoto Hachijoguchi, then went to Kyoto Yodobashi for shopping and lunch before taking the Limousine Bus from Kyoto Station to Osaka International Airport.

Lunch at Tsuruhashi Fugetsu in Kyoto Yodobashi

Believe it! It’s my first time having teppanyaki in Japan hahaha…

Heading to Kansai International Airport
Arrived Kansai International Airport

We reached the airport not to take a flight but to take the train to our accommodation in Osaka. Before that, we bought food from the airport. After that, we took the train to Rinku-town station, where our 3D2N accommodation was located.

Hotel Room Tour & Review

Odysis Suites Osaka Airport Hotel is a hotel that is only one stop away from Kansai International Airport. It’s very convenient if your flight is early in the morning. They have an airport shuttle included in the room. Booking is needed. However, it is very far from the city centre. Therefore, only stay here if you’re going to the airport to catch an early flight or during rush hour. It will save you time and eliminate unwanted stress to get to the airport on time and comfortably.

Dotonbori & Shinsekai

After checking into the hotel, we headed out to Dotonbori and Shinsekai for a quick visit. The journey was long, as it was far from the key attractions. Dotonbori was packed with people, while Shinsekai was the opposite.

After dinner at Shinsekai’s McDonald’s, we went back to our hotel. So tired! Called it a night early as we’re heading to Expo 2025 the next day.
