We wanted to check if there's free shuttle to KLCC. And after some waiting, the bus came but we'll need to purchase day passes that cost around RM30. In the end we took a cab down, which cost us RM10.
We did some window shopping at KLCC because ALL THE STUFF WERE SO EXPENSIVE! Actually jH wanted to get a Burberry wallet at the boutique, but the discount period has ended since the last time she was here. Too bad.
It was already 12pm when we came out of KLCC, and next stop was Mid Valley City! Again, we took a cab down which costs us another RM15.
Mid Valley Mall is so huge it took us almost an hour just to find the adidas outlet for ticket collection.
So excited lei. Finally collected the tickets! And since we're at Mid Valley, we continued to shop and had our lunch at this Italian restaurant. I ordered a risotto with mushrooms, which was damn gelat. Had to wash it all down with a soft drink.
Time check - 3:30pm.
We decided to take the KTM down to Shah Alam since it's much cheaper. Costs us only RM2 each for a single trip.
But when we finally reached the Shah Alam station, we still had to take a cab to our hotel. Another RM10 gone.
The wait was all worth it as the hotel was amazing in and out! We were handed keys to the 16th floor (top floor) and the bed was soo comfy!
Just a random picture of the view we had. A mini fire broke out just beside the mosque.
And since it's only 5pm, we had 1hour plus to waste before the match. I had my foam bath while jH practiced on her questions for the test. Feeling really refreshed after the long soak. (=
And these are my loot during the trip.
So after much jumping around and waiting for time to pass, we made our way down to the lobby around 6:30pm. At a corner, we saw a number of Chelsea fans with flags / banners. THEY ARE FROM SINGAPORE TOO! So we got acquainted rather quickly, and the 9 of us shared a limo to the stadium.
It was only 7pm when we reached there, and the match only starts at 8:45pm. But the mascot is already starting to get us all charged up for the clash!

The players from Chelsea came out shortly to do their warm up, accompanied by a VERY WARM reception from the fans.
Chelsea started with a strong XI, but the Malaysians really put in their all in this match. I suppose 2-0 was a fair scoreline, but both teams could have scored more if they capitalised on the chances. Deco was clearly the best man on the pitch for me. He passed the ball really well, and had good movements upfront in attack. I'm expecting him to be a major influence in Chelsea's title bid this season!

And on our way out of the stadium we were invited to take pictures with Chelsea fans from Nigeria! This is just a partial group from the Singapore fan club. There was about 30 odd of us at the match and we had fun criticising how poor Anelka and SWP were. Seriously, Chelsea needs a proper striker.
There were a couple of group shots that were not in this camera. Will post them when i get it.
Really enjoyed the company during this trip. (:
