Fondly called KL by most regular visitors, Kuala Lumpur proudly flaunts its East Meets West lifestyle with a little arrogance and oodles of attitude. This shining concrete paradise was once a humble tin-mining centre in the 1850s ravaged after the Selangor Civil War, and two World Wars. Yet, with the steady inflow of Indian Chettiars (money-lenders), Muslim traders, Chinese merchants and the slow but constant development process, KL rose to prominence as the capital of the Federated Malay States.
Although Kuala Lumpur means muddy confluence (as it was at the muddy confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers), there is hardly a trace of any mud in the city. High-tech modern buildings, skyscrapers and glitzy hotels so much so meet and greet you with a 'welcome to the future' vibe than anything else. Temples, mosques and little pieces of history, however, are carefully hidden behind this facade for those who want to take a stroll down time.
The gleaming lights of Petronas Twin Towers with its museums, shops and eateries; the drowning vigour of Chinatown; sprawling Lake Gardens (Taman Tasik Perdana); the Central Market with its brimming handicraft stalls, artistry and colours; the National Museum, a perfect place to brush up on your history; and the beautiful depths of Batu Caves - Kuala Lumpur asks you to live and let live without pushing you to the limits.
Get wild at a ritzy lounge or shop all day at one of the city's magnificent malls. There is no end to things you can do here. To get a feel of the city, climb the giddying heights of the Menara Kuala Lumpur Observation Deck, after snacking on some tasty Curry inPetaling Street. Here, heaven-high and foreboding, you can see the city lie before you as a sparkling treasure chest. The view encapsulates the feel of one of the greatest cities in Asia, and there is no denying it.
Singapore
Futuristic, self-assured, sleek and spanking new, that is Singapore's skyline for you. The skyscrapers and architectural wonders in this country that is fast consuming its countryside reflect a state of progressive mind. Your date with style begins at Changi Airport.
The bumboats still crawl at a snail's pace giving you a chance to see the past and present of Singapore in its buildings. The Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands and Sentosaare fantasies. A walk around Emerald Hill will give you another surprise. A pleasant one, painted in candy colours: the Peranakan shophouses.
The nights give you more than just a shimmering skyline. There is a nightlife that is nothing less than chic. Zouk is the hands down winner and is the club to dance away to pulsating music. For those who prefer something quieter and sophisticated, the bars around Emerald Hill and Mohamed Sultan Road are perfect.
But for a real taste of Singapore, its history and multi-ethnic culture, take your eyes away from the sky and to the food and shopping districts. The festivals and the local language Singlish are other reminders of its culture. Sift through Peranakan slippers and clutches in Katong, the high end designer stores around Orchard Road, and the chaos in Chinatown,Little India, and Geylang Serai. Electronics and computers come cheap.

Bali's claim to fame is its beaches and temples. And there is the Balinese love for art and culture which makes it exotic.
Let the sun work its magic on you at the many beaches. Come armed with sunscreen and sink into the loungers on Kuta beach. If the sun starts getting to you, splash around in the ocean and collect the pretty shells that are washed ashore. Eat at the warungs or make a beeline to the kafi lima vendors for some snacks with the Balinese stamp on it. Shop along Seminyak beach and stop by a restaurant for a hearty dinner. Conquer the waves off beaches in Bulkit with your surfboard. Make a getaway to Gili Island or Nusa Lembongan for their more peaceful and picturesque beaches.
Culture is so tightly woven into the tapestry of Balinese life that it is inescapable. Art is in their blood and evident in the Canang Sari (flower offering) in native homes and establishments. Joining them are miniature sculptures and paintings. Art Zoo and museums nearby, cultural shows like shadow puppet theatre, classical dances and music, and some fantastic restaurants make Ubud a must on your itinerary.
Other than trekking the volcanic mountains, there's mountain biking, snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, white water rafting and bungee jumping to keep your blood pumping.
