Wai Yu & Jia-Mei’s Last Day of Stay in Malaysia for 2018 CNY

Wai Yu and Jia-Mei were leaving Malaysia after CNY celebration with us to return to Taiwan on 7.05am flight to Taiwan on Saturday, 24/02/2018.  I had decided to drive them to airport (KLIA as they were flying with Malindo Air) at 2.00am of this day.

On Friday, 23/02/2018, we planned to go for a movie (the 2nd one this CNY) in GSC Cheras Leisure Mall.  Bryan also took a day’s leave to accompany his 3rd brother and sister-in-law before they flew back to Taiwan.

After breakfast, Soh Ai, Bryan, Wai Yu, Jia-Mei and I went by car to Cheras Leisure Mall at about 11.00am.  We had Teochew Chendul and chee-cheong-fun at the Restoran Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul at ground floor of Leisure Mall after purchasing the tickets for 1.40pm locally produced movie “Think Big Big (大大哒)”.  After that, we walked around the mall and visited Popular Bookstore.  The movie was all right although its tempo and plot were not really exciting considering it was produced by Malaysians.

In the evening we had 5-course meals plus 1 soup dinner (costing RM 180) at Restoran Gee Ann in our garden and Bryan foot the bill.

We didn’t go to sleep at all as we were to leave home to airport in the wee hours of 2.00am. 

I drove my Avanza car with Soh Ai, Bryan, Wai Yu and Jia-Mei to KLIA from 2.00am till 3.00am.  But the Malindo Air counter for check-in for the original 7.15am flight to Taipei was not open till 4.15am.  So we went to Papparich Restaurant for refreshment drinks to kill the waiting time.  The cost of 1 cup each of Teh C (RM 7.08), Coffee O (RM 7.08), Milo (RM 7.45) and 4 pieces of dumpling soup (RM 12.17) came up to RM 39.40 (including 10% service charge and 6% GST).  So expensive!

After Wai Yu and Jia-Mei checked in for their boarding passes and dropped their baggage at about 5.00am, Soh Ai, Bryan and I left the airport to return home.  Bryan drove as I was sleepy and we reached home at 6.00am.

Wai Yu’s flight was delayed to depart at 7.50am and they safely returned to Taipei at about 1.00pm (flight time 4 hr. 30 min.) and they took a bus back to Taichung reaching at about 4.30pm.

That concluded Wai Yu and Ji-Mei’s 14D13N trip to Malaysia from Taiwan in conjunction of 2018 CNY.
