I went KL a week ago for a work conference invitation. I was just an observer, so it was relaxing for me hehe. Free trip!
But it was a dreaded trip.
Because for the first time ever, I was going to leave behind my precious breastfed (albeit partially) baby, and that is heartwrenching for both baby and mother. I don't know how heartwrenching it is for baby but definitely for mommy! I have become so used to the pattern of cuddling him while feeding him to sleep, then I get sleepy too from all those sleepy hormones released while breastfeeding, and bedtime for me is 10-ish.
But being away from baby, I couldn't sleep! Like really tossing and turning on the bed. Both nights I slept after midnight, close to 1am. It was tiring. Pumping was okay, I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to pump, wasn't really sleepy after that. It has been ages since I can't fall asleep quickly.
The conference was good, food's good. Food's almost always good in Malaysia haha! I didn't go round KL at all cos travelling alone is kinda scary, and thankfully there's a shopping mall with the hotel building so I got bottled water and all from there.
The hotel room is not bad either. I was on the 28th floor (so high!!) and the view is quite amazing! The most amazing part is the kitchenette with a pretty big fridge for a hotel room and a FREEZER yippeedeedoo!! Milk storage heaven!
This place seems like a good place for families, but it's far from my normal KL area, Bukit Bintang. But if you drive I think it's okay.
Now for some iPhone photos!!
I got these crayons at Changi Airport for Junior. I went into every toy store at both Changi Airport and KLIA looking for Junior's toys but selection isn't wide. But crayons are gonna be fun!!
Here's my room, before I messed it up hahaha. Not bad right!
And this is the kitchenette area, fridge, microwave and with some cutlery too in the cupboards! Awesome!
Aaaand the winner of them all, freeeeezeerrrrr!!! Yay! No need to worry about milk storage! There's plenty right in my own room!
The view from my room. KLCC is so far away sobsob. Oh wells not like I'll go there alone anyway.
We were brought to this observatory where M'sia has their moon sighting to ascertain start of the Islamic calendar months. This is in Negeri Sembilan.
Posters on planets! ALL in Malay. Seriously had problems understanding. I have to re-read to get it. And planet names omg! Planet names in Malay!!
A little hands-on display to grasp a sense of density of the planets. Again, planet names in Malay! At that moment I totally forgot what's the second planet from the Sun, in Malay it's called Zuhal and I was like wondering what the heck is Zuhal so it's Venus apparently hahahaha.
The observatory tower which we'll go up and see the moon if weather is good.
The telescope! But too bad when they opened the dome it started raining. Oh wells.
So if you guys are interested, the hotel I stayed is Sunway Putra Hotel, used to be Legend Hotel. Near Chow Kit or whatever, and beside PWTC and near LRT too.
Came back on Wednesday, Husband and Junior waiting for me at the airport. Junior just woke up when I met him, and there wasn't a hint of excitement seeing me -_- Oh wells. He warmed up to me later haha. Husband says Mama cannot leave her boys behind anymore. Both are lost without her. Awww :))) I'll try not to, sweethearts! ♥
