Our September JB Holiday Day 3

It was getting harder to wake up and to wake up for a HIIT workout. I would gladly do the treadmill or elliptical anytime. Mental note to check for gym the next time. Will power wins and I still did my HiiT, though it takes me a long time to scroll through the list of YouTube video (still on the bed) and to choose one that seems tolerable. 

I finally remembered to take pictures of the pick and choose bfast. 





The plan for the day was Paradigm Mall crawling, ice skating, rock climbing and KTV singing. We made it to the mall at 10ish and Zaky had started to lose patience for shopping, unless we were looking for/ at his stuff. 

Camp 5, which is the rock climbing and bouldering Center, starts their 1st “guided climb” session at 12pm and that was full. We mistakenly thought that this was the only activity and signed the kids for the 1.30pm slot. We also checked out the ice skating sessions and Nana was very excited to see a fellow Singaporean skater. 

We were for lunch and archery to burn time. 

It was my 1st time shooting so many arrows. My left arm hurts from holding the bow and my right fingers hurt from pulling the sling. Tiring siol. 

Then to the claw machines. Bcos we had successes, we became very excited and spent even more $$.




I don’t even think the kids care about the prizes, they were just thrilled over winning. Who can blame them? I got very excited too.

The kids headed to Camp 5. Daddy Lim and I followed our calling - the shopping. We stayed long enough to take some pictures. Parents’ duty done. 



It was only almost after the hour that we figured out that the Center has the whole day access pass to the auto-belay rock climbing and bouldering. Zaky was still excited to continue, but Nana complained that her fingers hurt so much. The 1 hour session that they went for required them to take turns and thus a fair amount of waiting. Nevertheless, a good workout for them.

We skipped ice skating as well bcos the rink was crowded and we saw puddles forming. Never mind. All those climbing made the kids hungry and the parents benefitted too. What is a Malaysia trip without A&W? I think A&W taste better in Malaysia.


We headed back to the hotel to park the car. The Karaoke was in the KSL Mall and the mall was about 7 mins walk from the hotel. From our room, Daddy Lim spotted little tentages set up along our route to the mall and we decided to go explore, much to Zaky’s dismay. Haha, 

It turned out to be a make shift pasar malam along a super narrow stretch and it was so crowded. At least the walk to the mall had become very exciting as I ogled at all the good food but it was too early for dinner. Zaky didn’t agree though and complained that it was too hot and squeezy. Too bad, too sad. 

I think we just had a tired teenager. He also said that karaoke is not fun, that he is not going to sing but nap in the room. Ya, right… Nana thoroughly enjoyed herself. She had been dying to go singing. 


I would have loved buying all the pasar malam food and feast in the hotel but Daddy Lim and the kids didn’t share my passion and we ended at the Nanyang kopi for dinner. I kept my stomach though. We bought grilled beef (too tough), satay, otah, egg oyster on the way home. There was quite some waiting for the food bcos of the crowd and that was unpleasant but otherwise not too bad. 

Last night of our holiday!
