Short KL Trip: Day 3 - Shopping Only

There was no itinerary planned except for shopping. Hoho. As such, the plan was to stay in the room for as late as possible, checked out and then shop until it was time to go to the airport. 

I did go to the gym and it was so much busier this time.

The kids were still sleeping when I was back and we yanked them up to have a game of bball before bfast. The hotel has a half court that is sheltered and also nicely shaded in the morning. Bball was available for loan from the gym. 

It wasn’t that a vigorous game but enough to get the boys sweaty. Then, we headed for our last hotel bfast for the trip. Still no meat. 

We didn’t stay that late in the room, but packed up and left at about 11am. Zaky was grumbling about shopping bcos he already got what he wanted yday. 
I felt quite cheated actually bcos he kept saying that he wanted a pair of pink shoes and I was helping him to look for them, only for him to buy a pair of purple ones. Zzzzzz. 

Anyhow, shopping we must. We took a grab to Bukit Bintang again. This time, to the Pavilion Mall, where there is Cotton On and multiple sports brand shops. We didn’t buy anything but the kids bugged for Haidilou. We never eat that as a family in Singapore bcos it is so expensive. There is this promotion for pork collar at RM9.9 each and in additional one for one. We ordered 3 plates (6 in total) and had a lot of pork. 

They were all speaking in Chinese and talking very fast. We had some problem understanding the staff bcos we are such noobs to Haidilou. At one point, one of the staff who was serving us the hand made noodles was asking if we wanted music. Huh? What music? It turned out that there was some performance along with the noodles serving and he was asking if we wanted accompany music. Lol. 


The lunch cost us RM325 but it probably would cost a lot more if we had eaten the same in Singapore. 

With a happy and very full tummy, we headed to Sungei Wang. What greeted us were shops and shops of thrift shopping and Nana was very happy. Though she eventually only got stickers but browsing the thrift shops was interesting. 

Zaky was pestering the whole time for massage and he got his wishes. We walked back to Berjaya Time Square mall and sent the kids for 1.5hr of massage. Daddy Lim and I went back to the hotel lobby and ended up scrolling phone and catching a nap and were very happy to rest our tired legs. 

It was time to head to the airport when the kids were done. We booked a cab for RM130, which was double the price of Grab but a piece of mind that the car would be waiting. The drive to the airport was about 1 hour. 

At the airport, we saw that the Scoot flight was delayed by a good 45 mins. So we took our time for dinner. 

By the time, we made it to the gate, it was boarding. The area for boarding was super narrow and so many passengers blocking the gate. We had board me 1st privilege and went “excuse me-ing” as we squeezed our way to the gate. 

The flight was only 45 mins. I barely reclined my seat when the seatbelt sign went off and the pilot’s announcement came on to inform that we would be descending. We touched down safe and sound. 

We are all glad that home is now so near to the airport. The kids helped to empty their bags and keep their shoes. Daddy Lim and I unpacked the rest of the bags. It was already almost 2pm when I went to bed. Daddy Lim was still happily reading “my” story book, which he started when we were at the airport, bcos he didn’t have to work the next day. 

With that, our holiday has come to an end. While short, we had a lot of fun and Mochi is alive! Hoho.
