DAY TWO

The day began with a delicious spread of buffet breakfast. We then headed to Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Damansara where we were warmly welcomed by the pupils and teachers. After an informative presentation by the school leaders, we were given a tour around the school.

Our next stop after lunch was Royal Selangor Pewter Factory where we witnessed first-hand how each pewter product is made. We ended the visit with a step by step session on how to make a personalised pewter bowl the traditional way.

We then enjoyed the City Tour before heading for our long-awaited dinner. Upon reaching the hotel, we prepared Thank You cards for our hosts and then we settled in for the night.

DAY ONE @ KUALA LUMPUR

We started our day with a scrumptious McDonald's breakfast and set off towards Tuas Checkpoint. It started to pour but the rain didn't dampen our spirit.Immigration clearance was uneventful and the journey was smooth. We have a very amiable tour guide and he shared many nuggets of information throughout the journey. We enjoyed breathtaking views from both the Petronas Twin Tower skybridge on the 41th floor and the observatory deck on the 86th floor. We then settled in the hotel and did our reflections before turning in.

This is so fun. We are really enjoying ourselves learning through the touch screen panel.

This is easy. Just tap on the touchscreen panel to learn more about the Petronas Towers.

 The guide was very eloquent in telling us more about the Petronas Towers and we were all ears.

 We are so exhilarated to be at the Sky Bridge of the Petronas Towers!

We are learning more about the Petronas Towers through scanning our cards at the display panel.

Time for us to write our reflections for the day.
