The unexpected trip to Kuala Lumpur

  I stayed at Singapore for almost 4 years but never even reached an hour away by plane to Kuala Lumpur; though i actually really wanted to see what's the country has to offer aside from the majestic Petronas Towers I could see from photos in the magazines. (You know when you get to browse a magazines with amazing comments on certain attractions that you also wanted to go to but it always ends up in the bucketlist.) 

Until a discussion was open about the mission service in the community where I am serving was brought up that in need of mission volunteers for KL and I was one of those eager and was excited to serve without having any thinking of the expenses such as round trip plane tickets. 

Staying in Singapore, with a higher cost of living, everything is budgeted; especially when you are sending money back home. The plane tickets were actually booked by a friend in order for me to go as I already confirmed I'm going. So, plane tickets were solved. And here comes the "other" expenses I should consider about---accommodation, food, transportation, etc, etc. When I asked one the volunteers, he said "nothing to worry about as the KL members of the community already fixed everything for us---that includes the accommodation, food and transportation. "That was a relief, Lord!" Indeed, saying "yes" to Him assures that He will provide everything you need. 

Since it was my first to go in Kuala Lumpur, I would not miss on going to the majestic Petronas Towers. Before I go back to Singapore, I shall have my photo taken on its foreground. From our venue, we can see the towers brightly lit and was like floating in the sky. In mind, I should go there upclose. 


After the activities which we ended up quite late, the KL team drove us to these towers. It was actually closed when we get there, well in fact, I don't have plans to go inside it yet; to see it was actually enough for the visit. 


The Petronas Towers

I was stars-trucked with its beauty that my cameras were not clicking. I wanted to see it in my very own eyes how intricate it was built. One shot and another and gazed; so I have very few....as in I just can count it on my fingers....photos I took.

That ended the day, the viewing of Petronas Towers. But the trip didn't end it there, infact the team had brought us to different spots in the city. We had a very quick city tour and of course, some photo ops which I enjoyed the most. 

The skies were so blue and not that cloudy at all so we had the opportunity to see KL in a clearer perspective.

There's more to explore in Kuala Lumpur. Next visit, would definitely be it.
