2 Missions : Tulips & Hutong 10

On 21st April 2011, I received KLM's newsletter about their Charity Tulip Sale 2011 so I was excited because it's not only a chance to see tulips in Malaysia but at the same time, you get to do charity by buying them for Mother's Day too! With excitement, I got Yen Lin and Sharon Toh to join me. They both agreed delightfully too!

Since, it's at Sg.Wang, I was even more excited because I told myself, "Finally.... I get to go check out Lot 10 Hutong that YTL is promoting endlessly in magazines and whatever media..."

As I was lazy to drive up to KL, I've decided to drive to Klang KTM station with Yen Lin and parked there and we catch the train up to KL Sentral and followed by Monorail to Bukit Bintang. We started our journey at about 10.15am and by the time we reach Sg. Wang is around 11.45am. Well, you can predict the delays causes by KTM train interval of 30minutes each but we were lucky, we do not have to wait too long; just merely 10 minutes.

Upon reaching Sg. Wang, was I in disappointment to find out the size of the tulips when we looked from the upper floor down to Concourse area and the long queue... So, Yen Lin and I decided that we won't wanna waste our day in long queue and Yen Lin said, "I'm sure I'll get a chance to see good tulips in Netherland one day." With the positive mind-set, we left the concourse and hunt for food and we ended up at McD. After brunch, we passed by the concourse area again and by chance, I took a picture with the two person dressed in Netherland costume. I won't know what nationality they are as they probably are just young models.


Sharon supposed to meet us at around 2pm so, Yen Lin and I went to Vincci &
UniQlo at Fahrenheit88 first while we wait for her. I bought myself a sunglasses which later, I found out that the shade wasn't very protective of the sun. It's 50/50 of fashion & shade. Kekeke... but, its ok. I didn't get anything from UniQlo because the Care-Bears & One-Piece collection are not out yet.

Met up Sharon shortly after 2pm at Lot 10 and we find our way to Hutong 10... my first impression, "This is Hutong 10?... ohh... ceehh..." Describes as "gourmet heritage food village", so we looked around before deciding on what to eat. Everything seems tempting by it's name. But, I settled for "popiah" at the price of RM6.96 for 2 rolls. In conclusion, nothing to boast about the food. We sat here chit-chatting for a fair bit before we decided to go back to Uniqlo as Yen Lin wanna get the sandals she saw earlier.



We walked around the whole Fahrenheit88 since we are already there rather than later, being called as "tortoise under the shell", nothing much interest us and we just browse thru each shop without going in any. After that, we went to Pavillion as well just to browse thru and settled down at Old-Town Kopitiam to have a drink. I was feeling hungry already so I ordered myself my early-dinner of minced-chicken rice. Too spicy and thank God, I ordered Iced-Chocolate drink.

We finally left Bukit Bintang at around 7.15pm and we spend a long time waiting for train and we missed 1 by 3 minutes. Reached Klang around 9.30pm and the whole trip on Monorail & KTM, we had to stand. It was at Shah Alam stop that I finally get to rest my feet *phew*. Reached home close 10pm after dropping off Sharon & Yen Lin.

Tired but yet fun! It's been a long time I've not done this girlie-outing... ;)
