Directions to my studio

My studio is about 20 to 30 minutes away from most parts of Klang Valley, i.e. Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. It may be a little out-of-the-way, but it's along a major highway/road, and with the instructions below, you should be able to find it. If you think you are lost, you can always send an SOS to us on our mobile phones!


No. 10 &12, Jalan PUJ 4/10A
Taman Puncak Jalil
43300 Seri Kembangan
Selangor
Tel: 012 321 9137 (Anis) / 019 617 3706 (Zainal)

NOTE:

If you’re coming from KL, get on the Federal Highway and go towards PJ area. After the Guinness factory on the left, stick to the left lane and go up the flyover that looks like the Jambatan Pulau Pinang, then take left. (The landmarks at this flyover are Freescale factory and the Bali building). Proceed straight all the way to the Sunway Toll, then follow instructions below.

If you’re coming from PJ / Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, get on the LDP, you will drive past Kelana Jaya LRT station, Giant Mall, Kelana Seafood Centre, Yamaha Music School, etc. Soon, you will pass Western Digital on your right and LDP Furniture Mall on your left. Once there, you should get on the flyover and go straight on, heading towards the Sunway Toll Plaza. Then, follow the instructions below:

From Sunway Toll Plaza, basically, you just need to go all the way to Taman Teknologi Malaysia / Technology Park Malaysia (there are appropriate signages). At TTM, you need to do a U-turn which will then take you to Taman Puncak Jalil. However, below are the detailed instructions with some landmarks highlighted for you. Please read these notes carefully before you begin your journey, they will get you safely to my studio.

1.At the Sunway Toll Plaza, choose "Plaza B" and pay the toll (RM1.60 post-hike)

2.Follow signage to “Sungai Besi and Taman Teknologi Malaysia”

3.Go up flyover, stick to the left-most lane

4.Come down flyover, and continue to follow signage “Sungai Besi and Taman Teknologi Malaysia” – just stay on this main road

5.Pass 2 Shell stations – one on your left and another on your right (current MRT construction on-going at the moment, which may just obstruct the view of Shell station on the right)

6.Pass Giant Hypermarket on your right. Quite a long road, a couple of kilometres

7.MAJOR LANDMARK: Road will slope downhill, and you will come to traffic lights. At the traffic lights are Petronas and Shell on your right.

8.Go straight at traffic lights, there will be a flyover to Taman Teknologi Malaysia.

9.GO UP FLYOVER. Traffic lights, turn right. Another traffic light, turn right again. (You are making a big u-turn to come back down to the main road but this time heading towards the way you just came.)

10.Once on the main road, the Petronas and Shell will now be on your left. Drive past.

11.IMPORTANT: Drive slowly and stick to left lane, and take the first left turn. There is a small signboard that says “Taman Puncak Jalil” just before the turning.The left turn is just before a building (this is Sirim building). Once you have made the left turn, the Sirim building will now be on your right.

12.Stick on this road and it will swerve to the left, just follow it.

13.Traffic lights, go straight.

14.You will see a Petron gas station on your left. Proceed on this main road until you see a Pasaraya Khas on your left. IMPORTANT: There will be a junction further up. Stick to the right lane and proceed straight uphill at the junction.

15.Eventually, the road will take you up a slope and you will be facing a small hill. The road will swerve left and here you will see a small Hindu temple. Once you have made this left swerve, take the 3rd right turn (you will see a small TNB substation). If you see a small surau on your right, it means that you’ve just overshot it – backtrack a few paces).

16.You are now on Jalan PUJ 4/10A – it’s a dead end road. Look out for house No. 12 with the big cherry tree in the garden. It faces a hill with a tree-like tower. You are now at my studio!
