Club Med to KL

06 June 2018, check-out day for Club Med Cherating.

Our big piece of luggage was put outside the door at 8am.

Yes, so early. :P

Went for breakfast, then Zyan continued to join the Archery and Trapeze in the morning.

After packing some other miscellaneous stuff, just idled at the room.

Went to do our check-out around 10+. Need to do that before 11am.

After checking-out, loitered inside their air-con lounge.

Zyan joined back around 11am.

We still can enjoy the place till 3pm apparently.

Had more drinks in between before lunch.

Lunch was at 12noon. We went to have a bite before heading down to Petaling Jaya.

Had something to be done at PJ, as well as visit Karinna’s uncles near there.

All prepared to leave. Went to the car t start the engine.

Uh-oh!!!!

The car could not be started.

Jialat! Sibeh jialat!

Then I saw a staff walked past. I called Thomas for help.

He was at the bar counter earlier and we had a short conversation. He’s from Begium, and his wife is from KL.

Lucky for me, he helped me get the mechanic to check.

Seemed like the battery died.

Once they help me jumpstart the car, my car is alive again!

Yeah. Just cannot switch off the engine, else I would be stuck again.

They said at Kemaman, the town nearby where we had our McDonald on Day 1, has a lot of car servicing places.

Thus, we drove down there to look for shops that can check and replace the batteries.

Should have taken picture of the distress signals on the car dashboard. :P

The first shop we went to, said he didn’t have stock for my battery size. He was kind enough to direct me to another location to get the battery.

We went there, not hard to find with Google Map.

At that point of time, my car was ok. Even if I turned off the engine, and restarted the car, it was still alive and kicking.

Possibly being charged up for more than half an hour already since it was jumpstarted.

Battery was very energetic at that time. If after it cooled down, not sure what would happen.

Didn’t want to take risk, so changed the battery.

Damage was done at RM420. Oh well, some things cannot be avoided.

Once done, we were good to go on the road again. However, it was already past 2.30pm.

We had to drive to KL, which is 3hrs+ away.

Based on our original plan, we should reach KL at 4+.

After the little event encounter, would be 6+

The road to KL was ok. Very smooth in the first 2 hours.

The last hour was near Bentong towards KL. Wow. That stretch of roads are quite winding. And when hit nearer to PJ, can see some jams.

Alamak!

But lucky the jams were not that bad. Slow but still ok.

I only remembered we passed through a lot of toll gates. Pay and pay. :P

At long last, we finally reach our hotel around 6.10pm

Got into the room, and that makes us happier. Hehehe.

The room is very nice.

Had stayed here a few times few years back. After renovations done, simply looks good.

But we only staying 1 night.

Then I got a Grab Car to meet the uncles for dinner.

Gotto rest from driving, and don’t really want to stress myself with the road conditions.

Well, the 2 uncles still look good. Of course, getting older. Legs may get weaker etc.

One of them actually just had very high blood pressure the previous night, and went to hospital to check.

Didn’t need to hospitalised, but was under observation till wee morning hours apparently, till 4am.

Well, at least still fit to be allowed to go home.

Had chat with them till about 10pm. It was getting late, so we took Grab back to hotel.

For the next morning (which is today), had to go down to Jaya One near the hotel to do something.

From there, it’s time to drive back to Singapore.

Most likely, on the way back, we’ll head into Bukit Indah to buy things, and have some food.

At this point of time, my 2 companions are still sleeping.

睡到自然醒。。。
