T-Money ( South Korea Transportation Card)


T-money is a rechargeable transportation prepaid card. You can use it anywhere in South Korea, eg Seoul , Busan and Jeju.  The card cost starts from 2500 won.  You can buy this card and reload the preferred amount at the retail store eg 7-eleven , GS25 via the counter. This card can be used to pay for taxi, subway and bus. You just need to tap it at the entrance and the exit. The fare of using T-money is cheaper than cash.

You can also reload the amount ranges from 1000won to 10,000 via the reloading machine ( comes in English)at the subway. Please do note that you can also request for T-money discounted fare for teenager and children.In order to use this discount, you need to inform the 7-e/ Gs25 cashier that you are buying Teenager Card / Children . I believe you need to show their passport for verification. They will help to register the card.

Age :
0-6- free
7-12  - Children discount
13-18 - Teenager discount

Teenagers720 won1,350 won
Children450 won450 won



If you are using android, you can download this app to check the card balance as it comes with NFC reader.




Below is my collection of T- money cards ( I got most of it for free by answering surveys from Korea Tourism). I answer the surveys from KTO office in my country and once I am in Seoul, I answer another survey( if KTO organizes an event). lol. Therefore always check your country Korea Tourism activity.

For Malaysian you can get the T-money with 2000 won reload inside by answering this survey :
discover-korea-your-way-2017


You can also use T-money at 7-eleven and GS25, I usually pay for my Banana Uyu or mineral using T-money.

Refund :
If you have excess money in your T-money , you can go to any 7-eleven, GS25 for refund .  ( 500won processing fee)  . By the way, there is no expiry date for T-money card so you can keep using the same card if you go to Korea again.

Special  T-money card
You can buy your own Kpop T-money from Kpop cd store ( eg Myeondong Underground).  If you are Kpop fan don't forget to experience music show live.

Digi Roaming Pass


Dah lama dah  jadi pengguna Digi, walaupun pelik kat Shah Alam network edge je lol. Tiap kali pergi kelas mmg pakai wifi student lagi laju.  Tapi nasibla  tempat2 lain 4g. Yang penting bill postpaid rm50 je per month.

Yang I suka pasal Digi ialah roaming passnya  Digi ( click to go to Digi website)

Contohnya untuk Korea -
Pass 3 hari : rm25  ( so sehari sama dengan = rm8.30) . Lagi murah dr rent pocket wifi ( at least rm15 sehari. Walau pun 2GB sahaja ,ianya mmg cukup untuk pakai browse, google maps, translate,fb. Lagi pun dekat guest house / hotel pakaila free wifi yang disediakan. Kalau stay 5 hari , lepas 3 hari boleh beli lagi pass 3 hari .Walau pun kita akan rugi sehari tp bagi saya ianya masih murah.

eg pocket wifi : rm15 sehari x 5 = rm75
Roming pass 3 hari x 2 kali beli  = rm50 ( jimat rm25)

Roaming pass ni sesuai kalau travel solo , sebab kalau travel berkumpulan, pocket wifi lebih murah sebab boleh share ramai2.

Cara nak pakai :
1. Make sure follow arahan dan kena manual select network yang jadi partner digi



Kita boleh track usage dengan sms atau download apps Mydigi untuk check baki data.
MyDigi apps juga datang dengan pelbagai voucher. Contonya hari tu ada promosi rm1 untuk 500 big points. ( dapatla tambah Big points)

Boleh  download apps MyDigi : http://new.digi.com.my/  dan boleh claim hadiah misteri.

2) 24 hour social pass : Rm5 /24 jam.
Yang ni best kalau ikut travel package, sebabnya guide dah ada so kita tak perlukan internet untuk google maps. Dengan guna pass ini kita boleh connect dengan segala social media : Whatsapp ( yang grup beribu2 dalamnya) , Line, Kakao dan browse Facebook, Twitter, Instagram selama 24 jam.
Oh ye kalau di China sepatutnya mmg FB kena block tp kalau kita pakai prepaid number sendiri mmg boleh access termasukla social pass ni ( maybe sebab number bukan dr China) jadinya tak perlukan VPN lagi.

AirAsia onboard wifi and entertainment (AK Flights)

Wifi service only available on AK flight code

Hari tu ada nampak dekat FB post pasal servis wifi AirAsia makanya sempatla mencuba sendiri. Servis ni cuma ada untuk kod penerbangan AK. Boleh nampak sticker Rokki di pintu masuk dan tempat duduk.


1. Servis ni hanya boleh digunakan selepas pesawat berlepas / Wifi service is only available after take off.

2. Cari wifi "Rokki" / Search for Rokki wifi after you disable the phone flight mode




3) Untuk wifi boleh beli pelan yang disediakan, maaf ko ingat percuma ke?  / It is not a free wifi, you can purchase as per plan below :




4. Yang menariknya kita boleh dengar muzik atau tengok drama secara percuma melalui tab "entertainment". / The best part you can listen to music and watch drama for free under the entertainment tab.


Well it is  AA,they even sell earphones ( if you dont have it) lol
English songs list:



Kpop songs list *no songs from jyp tho :

AirAsia , please include 2pm, Got7, Day6, Wonder Girls, Twice in the list ya ?

Drama and movies :







5) Kalau rasa malas sangat nak ambil menu kat poket tu boleh browse aje / If you too lazy to take out the menu from the seat pocket, u can just browse it.



Sebab naik flight ke Singapura kejap je dah sampai takdela nak pakai sangat servis ni..Kalau dari Kuala Lumpur -Sabah mesti boleh pakai servis ini sepenuhnya.
Ak flight: Domestic flight + South East Asia , Hong Kong, Macau but still subject to availability

Singapore 2017 makan trip

Pergi Singapore sebab nampak gambar ni viral...terus teringin nak try Nasi Lemak Lobster dr Lawa Bintang di Tampines. Sebenarnya dari July lg nak pergi disebabkan "nasi lemak McD"

Ada dpt voucher dr Scoots (yg baru merge dengan Tiger Air) waktu diaorang buat road show di KL.

Pagi fly dengan Air Asia ( collect Big points) balik dengan Scoots.  Sebab dah check in (tak perlu print pakai e-mobile  je so spare sejam before boarding je. Hey tak boleh sekali di autogates, passport tak  boleh baca kena q plak yang manual. Dup dap dup dap walau  still sempat tp kena elakkan suspens ni so untuk ketenangan fikiran asalkan international walau dah check in kena gak 3 jam sebelum. 6am -8am mmg banyak flight so orang pun ramai.

Internet ambik dr TR : travelrecommends
Kalau key in "MATTAKL" boleh dpt rm11 sehari.Memang pergi sehari je pun.

Apps yang berguna :
1) singapore MRT - untuk panduan Mrt
2)Sg bus tracker - senang tgk lokasi bus stop dan timing bus.

Cara nak pergi Lawa Bintang :https://m.facebook.com/LawaBintang/
Turun di MRT Tampines, cari Tampines Int. (Pakai apps Sg bus tracker utk tau lokasi stesen bus) Naik  bas 65 dan 67 berhenti di Safra (lepas 2 stop) .dr Safra jalan kaki 6 minit.
Pakai google map sure jumpa. Naik uber pun boleh. Tp bas berapa cent je.Stall lawa bintang dekat food court .Ini sebenarnya kawasan industri. Nasi lemak lobster :$22 . Ada juga sotong, etc tp mmg teringin lobster.Sambal best n + lobster mmg kenyang.

Nak balik ke Mrt cuma perlu naik bas stop yang bertentangan tempat turun td. Next cari Irvin's Salted egg dekat Raffles Place. Masuk Mcd lepas amik angin Sungai Singapore. dorg dah promote Samurai burger tp bila tanya dorg masih ada lagi "nasi lemak burger" Cendol flurry pun siap ada promo buy 1 free 1.(tp pergi sorg takdela amik yg free 1 tu)
Alacarte : $6 , Cendol $3 tp burger tu biasajelah ahaha sbb bnyk kata best tp maybe sebab baru makan nasi lemak yg ori so sambal burger tu tak dpt nak compete. Tp cendol mcflurry tu i suka.








Irvin's chip dtg dengan flavor fish skin atau potato chips. Masa q dah pukul 12 ( waktu rehat) tp nasib baik still org yang second last dapatla beli (itupun pek besar potato chips je yg tinggal) $16. (I tak sanggup makan fish skin pun) https://irvinsaltedegg.com/


Tp sekali nak balik eh ada booth kat Terminal 2 (itupun q gak) . Siap ada harga tax free lagi.
Dalam website tak tulis pun dorg ada cawangan kat Changi so bolehla beli sini kalau berminat nak cuba. Pek kecil : $7.50 , besar $15
Potato chips mmg sedap siap jadi side dish lagi makan dengan nasi (kata telur masinkan)
Bahan2 bole mkn insyaAllah.


Masa balik lalu dekat kaunter ala autogates sebab masa datang imigresen dah registerkan. Seperti di autogates, scan cap jari dan pasport.
Oh ye Line biru- Downtown Line yang diextend bar bukak 21 october so mmg berhenti tampines pakai line biru. Bau stesen masa transit dr expo pun baru dan mrt tak ramai org.

Kuala Lumpur Train Map Guide for tourist ( MRT/ LRT/ Monorail /Komuter)

pdf : spad

The train main operators  in Malaysia are Myrapid (Kelana Jaya Line, Ampang, Sri Petaling  Line, Monorel, MRT) and KTM  Komuter( Laluan Seremban and Pelabuhan Klang).
You can also plan your journey provided by Myrapid. It will provide you with the nearest station ( under Myrapid) and bus : Plan My Journey :  https://www.myrapid.com.my/plan-my-journey

Besides this website you can also use these apps :
Kuala Lumpur Train Map Application / Subway/ 쿠알라 룸푸르 지하철:
You can use the X to Y function and it will  list out the direction 
It seems Go Kl is not available in IOS but you can use this Kuala Lumpur  app for guidance


When you arrive in KLIA / KLIA2 you need to take KLIA Express to City Centre. Our main hub is KL Sentral which allows you to transfer using Kelana Jaya Line, Monorel or Komuter.  If you have been to Korea it is equivalent to Arex. We also have the express train 35 minutes ( non stop direct to KL Sentral ) and the transit train.  
Alternatively, without the pass, you can use "Touch N Go" for all Myrapid + Komuter train or bus.This card function is equal to London's Oyster card,  Singapore's Ezlink, S.Korea's T money.
Klia, Klia2  booth location :  www.touchngo. It has some discount instead of purchase by cash.
Example Kl Sentral to KLCC : Touch n Go : Rm2.40 , Cash rm2.20

Without "touch n go" you can still buy a token at the machine or counter. 

Alternatively, you can also take a bus from KLiA/ KLIA2 which is cheaper ( only RM10 to KL Sentral from KLIA 2). 


Tourist special deal : KL Travel Pass ( 2 days unlimited train rides ( inclusive KLIA Express) . 
You can use it to ride any line except KTM Komuter. It is useful if your hotel is nearby Bukit Bintang/ Masjid Jamek or any of Myrapid train station. Tourist spot station : KLCC, Dataran Merdeka

If you  transit in Kuala Lumpur more than 5 hours you can go and explore KL  http://showcasekl.com/ I think this is better than spending time at the airport.
If you are holding GBP or USD it is only GBP20 and USD 24 ( RM100) 

Sim Card and Pocket Wifi: Our main telco will be Celcom ( choose this if you are travelling outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor) Maxis/Hotlink ,Digi  , Umobile  and Tune Talk . Click for traveller package.
Personally, I will choose Digi as it offers 10g  for 10 days for only rm38. However, the Digi coverage is limited in rural area. 
Alternatively, you can always share a pocket wifi together. ( if travel  with partner or group) USD6 daily
Pocket wifi You will need the internet to use Google Maps and website above.

Must visit in Kuala Lumpur:

1. KLCC ( Kelana Jaya Line- KLCC) also known as Petronas Twin Tower.
You can visit the bridge of the twin tower. There is a shopping mall in between the tower: Suria KLCC. You can book online Twintowers or you can buy a package with a hotel transfer Klook activity .Tips : Get US$1.3 off your first Klook Mobile App booking with promo code mobile10 
Closed on every Monday .




This spot is also cover by KL hop off and hop bus service if you are not a fan on going by train.
They also provide this service in Penang.

2. Architecture fan - Mosque
Masjid Jamek  ( Ampang Line Masjid Jamek) also walking distance to Dataran Merdeka / Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad. Please do note if you tour inside Mosque you need to follow the dress code / long pants and for female ( cover the hair). Usually, the long dress and scarf are provided by the Mosque.


Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad

Masjid Negara ( National Mosque) ( It is between KL Sentral and Pasar Seni)
Maybe the best way is to take a cab ( taxi coupon at KL Sentral)  or UBER / Grab . There a few cases of taxi rider who does not use the metre or being taken a long distance ride for a short ride.Therefore it is safe to use the taxi coupon. Use Uber or Grab which comes with navigation and estimated fare before booking. It also comes with free ride for first time user or promotional discount. Maybe you can also take the taxi but informed the rider politely that you will also switch on your Google Maps for the best option.

Putrajaya- well it is closer from Klia than City Centre. You can stop at Putrajaya station via KL transit and take a taxi/ uber / Grab to  Dataran Putra / Putra Square. 
Take a lake cruise to view Putrajaya cruisetasikputrajaya.com


If you are a Korean drama fan , Putrajaya is one of the shooting location "On the way to the airport / 공항 가는 길" starring Kim Haneul and Lee Sangyoon.

Putra Mosque as background
Masjid Besi /  Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin. Drama is produce by KBS .Screencap via http://www.hanisamanina.com
What I remember the most in the drama is how the father said this almost look like home ( Seoul) eg the Han River ( altho it is actually a lake)  and the Mosque looks like the National Assembly at Yeuido.

3. Batu Caves- Malaysia is a multiracial country. This is one of Hindu's temple. It also has the highest stair. Oh and believe me Ansel Elgort ( Baby Driver, The fault of our stars)  was here!

3. Food hunter

Roti Canai, Teh tarik ( you have to see the staff in action) , Nasi Lemak and Satay. 
Nasi Lemak
Satay- The famous Satay will be Satay Hj Samuri

4. Souvenir -  Hard Rock Cafe. There are Hard Rock Cafes in KL, Penang ( with hotel ) and Melaka/Malacca.

other location :

Concert related venue :
Stadium Merdeka : Monorail Maharajalela or Mrt Medeka station 
It is used to be the location of Linkin Park and Big Bang's concert. It is an open stadium.
The best part you can view the KL skyline at night while waiting for the singer. The bad part: it might be raining but usually if that happened,the organizer will provide or sell raincoat at the venue.
