A Busy Sunday in the City
July had been hectic, and before we knew it, August had arrived. With a four day weekend coming up, we wanted to plan a trip to Johor Bahru. So we left home at 10:55am and caught the RapidKL #303 bus to Corus Hotel for RM1 (about USD/EUR0.20).
Sorting Out Bus Tickets
At the Aeroline counter, things got confusing. Only a 5:30pm return bus was available, which meant reaching Kuala Lumpur close to midnight — not ideal. So we decided to skip it.
At 11:30am, we took a Grab to Berjaya Times Square for RM20 (about USD5/EUR4) to check the Super Nice Express counter. No return tickets were sold there either.
Update: We later bought our return tickets with Causeway Link Express for RM69.90 (about USD16/EUR14).
Lunch at KL Sentral
With the main errands half settled, we took the Monorail at 11:50am to KL Sentral for RM2.70 (about USD0.60/EUR0.50). We arrived twenty minutes later and walked straight to Thai Street Food for lunch. We both ordered:
Lunch came to RM33.60 (about USD8/EUR7).
Touch ’n Go Errands
After lunch, we headed into NU Sentral and rode up to the Touch ’n Go office. One of my cards, with RM63.44 remaining, was expiring in September 2025. We cancelled it and were told the refund would take a month. I bought a new NFC novelty card for RM29 and reloaded RM50, bringing the total to RM79 (about USD19/EUR16).
Shopping Around NU Sentral
Next, we went down to Watsons where Cat picked up hair products for RM110.30 (about USD26/EUR22). Then we stopped by Milk & Barley on the lower ground floor for half a dozen pastries at RM46.50 (about USD11 / EUR9).
We went up one floor to withdraw cash at the Maybank ATM, then up another floor to Yamazaki Boulangerie Chaude for buns and pastries at RM35.60 (about USD8/EUR7).
The Long Ride Home
We left KL Sentral at 1:45pm and caught a GOKL free bus five minutes later. A road closure forced us to stay on until the Pekeliling terminal, where we switched to the LRT and rode to Bandaraya for RM1.40 (about USD/EUR0.30). From there, we walked all the way home.
Looking Ahead
With our errands done, we’re now planning a road trip to my hometown at the end of August.
Stay tuned for that journey.
