But there was no anti-climax with the breakfast buffet that came with the room. We had expected a good breakfast and got an excellent one. Indeed, there was a very varied spread amidst tranquil surroundings.
This was some of the food we (mostly my friend, for she likes to make {and take} the most of free stuff) had...
After that, given the hectic two days we had just experienced, we were hoping to be able to take a luxury coach back to Singapore. Not a hope - they had all been booked out days before, meaning that we had to head to Bukit Jalil for our return ride. But not before our search brought us to some of KL's modern landmarks such as the Pavilion at the shopping belt near Bukit Bintang and Raja Chulan...
And Berjaya Times Square...
But as mentioned earlier, despite the earnestness and thoroughness of our search, we still had to turn up at Bukit Jalil to grab a coach - and then only to Larkin Bus Terminus in JB but not Singapore, such was the demand for tickets for tickets back to the fine isle of ours.
Well, some consolation is the fact that I got to take a picture of Malaysia's Bukit Jalil Stadium, the newest, and many say the best stadium in the country. Now, my friends know how much I am into sports, football especially, so will understand how thrilled I was to be able to snap pictures of the venue where, only a week ago was the scene of one of Malaysia's biggest triumphs, a 3-0 victory over Indonesia which eventually led to them being crowned ASEAN champions after winning the AFF Cup. I hope our new National Stadium will be as good, if not better, than this edifice.
Our bus came and departed on time in what was a rather unremarkable ride back to Larkin, Johor. A positive externality of being in Johor, however, was that we were able to have dinner at one of our favourite back-street alleys, Meldrum Walk. We had barbecued sting ray as well as porridge over there.
No pictures of the food though. Pity...
And that was it for the year-end escapade. Next up, Work Year 2011...!!!
