It was one of those anxiety-inducing trips because I had no idea where we were going. I did not know the final destination of our mini holidays and the temporary abode we were bunking in. I dislike being in the unknown. Simply said, I dislike the feeling of being not prepared.

We ended up going to Genting Skyworld. We departed from Melaka at 6am and reached Genting Premium Outlet by 9am. Then took the cable car up to the highlands in the foggiest atmosphere ever. The pictures look lousy. A few areas were shut down for renovation. The Eagle Ranch section was still not opened. Then, one of our favourite rides which is the Epic boat ride was suspended due to technical issues. That was a bummer as we really looked forward to it. We honestly felt that we were scammed out of our tickets which were paid at peak-hours rates. We kept circling the area hoping that the Epic boat ride would be repaired soon enough. Unfortunately, it didn’t and so we left the place at just after 2pm.

We had lunch at the cafe in the Ice Age area. I loved the wanton noodle meal. It was delicious and the portion was fulfilling. The kids had a strange mac and cheese bowl with parfait as dessert.

We stayed the night at a duplex apartment located at Eco Cheras Mall. It was thus easy for us to just roam the mall in our free time. It was basically an open area that fitted a living room, kitchen and a private room (bedroom) on the top floor with its own toilet. There is a guest toilet with a washing and dryer machine near the unit’s entrance. It has a fridge, microwave and kettle which was good enough for our length of stay. I have no idea how much it costs per night but it must be reasonable because Mr Husband rarely goes for overpriced hotels and such. ha ha ha. The residents/visitors do not like sharing lift spaces though. They would try their best to shut the lift door by pressing the buttons to avoid others coming into the lift. They would even X out their hands to show ‘no, you cannot step in’. It’s understandable if the lift is super crowded but there is plenty of space and the lift at this place is not the type that functions all at the same time. Mesti ada 1 or 2 that is under maintenance. Typical apartment issues.

We managed to sneak in a movie – Planet of the Apes at the mall. Lunch and dinner were mainly at Nasi Lemak Wau, a restaurant located at the ground floor of the mall. The sambal was not spicy -which I liked. We ended the trip by sending our son back straight to KPPN. He is one of those weird kids that enjoys going back to school. He requested that he reach back the hostel by noon. Maybe he wanted to kejar solat zuhur at the surau or something.
