Didn't sleep that well because it was too cold in the room. Woke up at 8am and used the laptop for a short while. Ate a Kit-Kat and waited for my turn to wash up. Later, dad brought us to "Solok Moulmein" for breakfast.
KitKat
Solok MoulmeinWe went inside Swee Kong and ordered some drinks. Dad bought some mini-pizzas and Wan Than Noodles for us. The pizzas were good but the famous noodles weren't too great. Went back to our hotel after lunch.

Wan Than MeeBefore going back to our rooms, we went to look at the pool area. It wasn't really that nice but was still presentable. Got back to our rooms and watched TV till it was 12pm. Then, we packed our stuff and checked-out of Berjaya Hotel.

Char Kuey Teow - RM 2.80We then drove on to Kek Lok Si. There were many people there and most of us didn't want to walk and explore the temple. So, we just went to look at the new "Guan Yin" image and walked around for a bit.

We donated a roof tile (RM 30 per piece)

Another shrineAbout half an hour later, we drove back downhill and bought some rojak. We didn't eat it there but brought it back to the hotel instead. Uploaded yesterday's post and finished the rojak before we went to visit the pool on the second floor.

Rojak (sauce was DELICIOUS)After that, we went down and made our way to the pool. Before getting to the pool, we have to go through the bathrooms. Inside, there were 5 doors, each leading to somewhere else. Dressing room, washroom, sauna and jacuzzi, lockers, and the main pool area.

We then regroup at the pool area and took some pictures. Dad and E went for a swim while the rest of us just relaxed on the deck chairs. At 6pm, I came back to the room and watched TV till 7.30pm.

Dad then drove us to another coffee shop called "Hong Kong Tea Garden". I had some Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun, Pork Satay, Char Kuey Teow, and Iced Coffee. The food here was great especially the coffee and satay.

After dinner, we drove to Gurney Drive and was caught in the jam. There were no place to park so we went back to the hotel. Dropped J, E and mum back and we went back to Gurney Drive to try our luck.

Just as we were gonna go back, we saw a parking spot. After we parked, we walked over to the "Malaysian Food Street" exhibition. It's actually a long stretch of hawker stalls that are gonna be there only for the month of December.

We found a place to sit and ordered some dessert while dad had Asam Laksa. The desserts weren't that great though. While eating, I spotted my high school classmate and went to say "hi". Has been a long time since I met him.
Asam Laksa - RM 3.00
Chendol - RM 2.00
Ais Kacang - RM 2.00
Four Fruit Soup (Sei Goh Tong) - RM 2.00
After eating, we walked to "g hotel" and looked around. It was a boutique hotel so the deco was really modern and trendy. Walked around the lobby for about 15 minutes before we drove back to our hotel.

It was already 10.20pm and the sauna was closing in 10 minutes. Since it was pointless going there, we just went to our rooms. I started blogging till now (1.05am) and still haven't showered since this morning.
Gonna end this post here and go take my shower. Will go to bed right after that. Night...
