Sunday Errands!
It has so far been a very hectic July, and before we knew it we've crossed into August.
We wanted to take advantage of an upcoming 4-day weekend to plan a trip to Johor Bahru. With that in mind we left our home at five to eleven and caught the #303 RapidKL bus for a fare of RM1.00 (approximately USD/EUR0.20) to Corus Hotel.
At the Aeroline ticketing counter things got a little confusing. In the end we decided against getting the return bus with Aeroline since only a 5:30pm bus was available which meant we would arrive in Kuala Lumpur close to midnight.
In the interest of time we hailed a Grab car at half past eleven for a fare of RM20.00 (approximately USD5/EUR4) to Berjaya Times Square. Here we walked over to the Super Nice Express ticketing counter to enquire about getting bus tickets from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur. Alas none were sold. Update: We eventually got our return tickets from Johor Bahru with the Causeway Link Express for RM69.90 (approximately USD16/EUR14).
Both major errands sort of sorted we then decided to catch the Monorail at ten to noon for a fare of RM2.70 (approximately USD0.60/EUR0.50) to KL Sentral. We arrived twenty minutes later and as soon as we exited the station we walked over to the Thai Street Food for lunch. We both ordered the:
- Krapow Chicken
- Coca-Cola
for a total of RM33.60 (approximately USD8/EUR7).
We were done at half past noon and walked into NU Sentral. We rode several escalators up to the second floor headed to the Touch 'n Go office. I had received an email notification a few days stating that one of my card with a balance of RM63.44 (approximately USD15/EUR13) was expiring at the end of September 2025. We asked for the card to be cancelled and were promised a refund in a month's time. I then got a new NFC enabled novelty card for RM29.00 and together with a reload value of RM50.00 came to RM79.00 (approximately USD19/EUR16).
We then headed a floor down to Watson's pharmacy where Cat got a bunch of hair products for RM110.30 (approximately USD26/EUR22). We then headed down to the lower ground floor and walked into a Milk & Barley to get a half dozen pastries for RM46.50 (approximately USD11/EUR9).
We walked up a floor to replenish our Federal Reserves at the Maybank ATM then headed back up a floor for our final errand: Yamazaki Boulangerie Chaude. Here we got a bagful of buns and pastries for RM35.60 (approximately USD8/EUR7).
We finally walked out of KL Sentral at a quarter to two and got a GOKL free bus five minutes later. A road closure forced us to ride the bus all the way to the Pekeling bus terminal where we disembarked and caught the LRT back to the Bandaraya station for a fare of RM1.40 (approximately USD/EUR0.30). We then walked all the way home.
We are planning on a road trip to my hometown at the end of August, so please stay tuned!
