It wasn’t even 4am when I checked my watch; the clock in the bus was fast. This made me even gladder that I had paid for an extra night. There were plenty of taxis waiting to pick up passengers; our hotel - Berjaya Time Square hotel, was a stone throw from the alighting point.
There was no other guests checking in. Only 1 counter was opened and the security was openly sleeping on his job. Lol. I have booked the family room. On the hotel website, the room looked nice but it is actually a very old hotel.
The family room looked improvised, like they decided to throw in a bunk bed and called it the family room.
Daddy Lim was already hungry before we left Singapore and insisted to find supper at the 7-11. The kids asked us to tabao too but when we were back, Nana was already in lala land. Daddy Lim and Zaky happily finished all the convenient food that we bought.
It was 4ish when we went to bed. I contemplated waking up for the gym. It was obviously wishful thinking on my part. The redeye flight and the bad sleeping on the bus killed me. I asked Daddy Lim to set the alarm for 7am but I kept snoozing the alarm. We only woke up at 8am.
Finally making out of the room for bfast.
We totally forgot about D, who went to our house to feed Mochi at 8.30am. It was only 9.30am that we realised. Fortunately, some kind neighbours helped him to open the gate and he made it to our house to feed Mochi. D was very nice to take video of Mochi, who kept meowing in the video.
After bfast, we went mall crawling. The Berjaya Time Square Mall was connected to our hotel by a side door. The Mall is huge, but the clothing style weird. Thus we went off empty handed. We did a game of Escape Room and then went for massage.
Then, a late lunch.
We decided to head back to the room; the kids caught up on some homework while I chased my email. I even dozed off for 15 mins.
The plan was to go for the Museum of Illusion, which I had booked via Klook. The museum was 10 mins car ride away and we took a Grab. I realised that it was in Bukit Bintang and I think that is where all the happening shopping are.
The museum is a small place but we had fun.
I like how these pictures made me look so skinny. Lol.
There were quite some puzzles to solve. I gladly left those heavy lifting to Daddy Lim and the kids. I don’t have that many brain cells left to kill.
The museum is quite small but we were entertained for a good hour. The funniest is this spinning tunnel. The vision effect makes one feel like he/ she is falling. I get so affected by these and was barely able to complete the short tunnel without help.
Our activity was booked for 8.30pm and we were told that there would be another group of 6 joining us. The kids were very glad for more people but the group never came. I think the hantu got them. Hoho.
The activity started with safety briefing - don’t touch the scare actor; they wouldn’t touch us too. Don’t do stupid things, if it gets too much, there is always the chicken exit. Then, we were told the storyline - it was the last day of operation for the haunted Colle Eastern Hotel and we are the spooksters, hired by Rizal and his team of 2 to help investigate the ghostly events.
In the beginning, our nerves were raw and whatever little noises scare the hell out of us. Almost throughout the activity, we were led by one of the actors (Rizal and/ or team) and had to make decisions, which would affect how the storyline would develop. The activity was held in this cleverly created and decorated little space with many turns and corridors. At some point, it felt like one of the theme park rides, bcos we could hear another group in another part of the ride. Lol.
At the very end, we were told that we were all dead on the way to the hotel, plotted and killed by one of Rizal’s team member. Hohoho. We would all be spirits trapped inside the hotel forever.
Overall, the event wasn’t as scary as we thought it would be. There weren’t as many jump scares. The activity intention wasn’t to simply scare us silly but to be involved in the role playing, which Daddy Lim and the kids did very well. I was simply very scare throughout and was hanging on to one of them most of the time. Lol.
They all agreed that it was a very enjoyable activity. I was just so physically tired from all the stress. I finally redeemed myself, no more reprimand from Zaky in particular, for booking a horror activity. Hoho.
We took a grab back to the hotel. I told you that being scared is very tiring.
It was already 10ish when we arrived back at the hotel. Sleep was so easy and nobody had nightmares. Lol.
