Big hello for you guys. Let's step into the next part of my last trip in Malaysia. Today i'd like to write the story of my journey on May 5 until May 6, 2016.
Day 2 (May 5, 2016)
After the exhausting day yesterday, on this day we started continuing our exploration at Genting Highlands. Today's schedule was visiting The Chin Swee Caves Temple. We woke up at 7 am and then we were ready at 9.30 am.
 |
| Day 2 Flat Lay |
To reach Chin Swee Caves Temple, you just need use the "Free Service" of Shuttle Bus that located in front of First World Hotel's main lobby. The bus start picking the passengers at 9 am and will show up once in an hour. It takes about 10-15 minutes to reach Chin Swee Caves Temple. Scroll down and I will show you what is Chin Swee Caves Temple.

If you have reached the top, you will see the beautiful Lotus Ceiling. I sweat a lot at 9th floor. I have a tips for you, when you climb the stairs of Pagoda. Make sure, you don't have any problems of your breathing system, stabilize your inhale and exhale pattern, and keep climbing the stairs in stable speed.

| Chin Swee Caves Temple |
To reach this holy place, you just need step down the stairs. You can ask people there where the stairs or you can follow the direction by your self. We got chance to have a pray here. Before praying, we bought some ash sticks. Just follow the praying instruction on the notice board. For your information, you can donate money here.
We took a rest after exploring the Chin Swee Caves Temple. We sat on the chairs next to Sourvenirs Stall and ate something. Soon, we got back to the main lobby and waited at the bus stop area. Let's go back to Hotel and recharge the energy.
After about 1 hour recharging our energy. We started our activity again around Food, Shooping, and Entertainment area of Genting Highland. On May 4, 2016, we hadn't explored the all store yet. We continued on this chance. But hey, we were always get the tummy's problem. We better found something to cure its promblem (starving...LOL)
 |
| Cha Kwe Tiao |
 |
| Kung Pao Chicken |
The taste of these foods were average. Nothing special but worth to fill up the stomach and our energy was fully loaded. First stop...
 |
| Visitors Galleria |
The Visitors Galleria is a one-stop information center for Genting Highlands, located at the lobby of Maxims Genting Hotel. Open from morning 'till night daily. Visitors can lear about the history of Genting by perusing a varied collection of newspaper clippings, plaques, awards, posters and other memorabilia that explain the story behind Lim Goh Tong (founder of Genting Highland).

We realized that 1 hour was not enough for recharging our energy. We decided to go back to the Hotel and had an early rest to face the next day. Before that, we were curious about The Chatime Stall that we saw from the 10 metre distance. Ah, It was totally different from The Chatime Indonesia. Wanna try the all menu of it. But I had to decided one. I choose Horlicks and It was so damn delicious.
 |
| Horlicks + Less Sugar |
Went back to the hotel, took a bath, and had an early rest. In the next day, we would check-out from the Hotel and moved to the next schedule.
Day 3 (May 6, 2016)
We were ready at 9 o'clock and we gonna had a Cable Car Ride (Genting Skyway).
 |
| Checking Out |
As usual, the breakfast is a must. Nothing special (again) on this menu. Simply eat it to fill up the empty stomach.
 |
| Mc D Breakfast Menu |
We thought that we were the one who came early to the Genting Skyway Terminal, but take a look at this.
 |
| Queuing Up |
 |
| Oh My Oh My |
Oh my, there were many people before us. Yes, we were late.
 |
| Yeah, We Almost There |
When we were almost there, we realized that the Cable Car didn't work properly. They stopped operating. Even we couldn't buy the ticket because the locket had been closed. We were so disappointed with this condition because this activity was on my itinerary list. We just didn't what happened to the Cable Car. So many assumption about this trouble came out of my mind. I thought that, Genting Skyway had never been out of service before. What a coincidence! For a while, we were so confused. What should we do to reach the terminal that take us to KL Sentral?
All I wanna do were asking many people and security guard. I asked them how do I reach the terminal because Genting Skyway is out of service. We were directed to the shuttle bus next to Genting Skyway terminal. They said that "you just need to buy the bus ticket only". Immediately, we went to the terminal and enter the bus without any ticket in our hands. To tell you the truth, we didn't know where the ticket locket was located. Fortunately, we could sit on seat and arrive safely at Bus Terminal. Very stunning day...Fuihhhh
 |
| Bus Terminal |
When we got here, we bought the ticket at locket that located on 4th floor. Follow the direction and go upstairs with lift. If you don't any direction, you can ask anyone there. Our bus to KL Sentral were scheduled at 12.00 pm. Forget to tell you, Today we gonna go the Malacca. So the route is Bus Terminal Genting - KL Sentral - Bandar Tasek Selatann - Terminal Bersepadu Selatan - Melaka Sentral - Melaka City. Let me guide you so you can use this route someday.
 |
| KL Sentral |
This is KL Sentral Terminal. Actually KL Sentral is a Mall. You can access to the mall by using elevator there. But we didn't go to the Mall. We were straight to the ticket counter and bought some KTM Komuter Tickets to Bandar Tasek Selatan Shelter.
 |
| Ticket |
 |
| Platform |
To go to Bandar Tasek Selatan, you must take the Platform 6 (Seremban) and wait the Komuter comes. Anyway, I love this Mass Transportation. Easy to access and easy to use. The waiting area is so clean. I wish Indonesia would have the mass transportation with clean area like this.
 |
| Yay, Komuter Comes |

After 20 minutes, We arrived Bandar Tasek Selatan

When we arrived, we were truly confused about the way that we should go. As i read on someone's blog, we had to find connecting bridge to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS). TBS has so many bus in many route. In this case, we want to go Malacca (Melaka Sentral). Again, the key is asking and we find the connecting bridge.

Soon, we went to ticket counter and bought ticket to Malacca (Melaka Sentral)

We thought that Mayang Sari was the name of Ticket Counter's operator but we were wrong. Mayang Sari was the name of our bus that took us to Melaka Central. Let's wait 'till it came.

| Waiting Room |
We were so ready to go. Malacca, Here I Come
 |
| It's Raining Outside |
Our journey took about 2 hours and we arrived Melaka Sentral with tired face. Long-long journey for Day 3. Absolutely, we felt so hungry. We didn't have any time eating something since breakfast at McD and It was almost 4 pm. Melaka Sentral is also the terminal, it treated like Bus Shelter and this shelter is the widest in Malacca. First thing we saw when came out from the bus was "Mc Donalds". Time to find something to eat. You know, very hungry 'till die. LOL.. We ordered Nuggets menu with Angry Bird Movie promotional on its food paper wrap. Something had attracted my eye. Lychee Ice Cream. Never been eaten before.

Fully loaded tummy. From Melaka Sentral to Malacca City, you take a bus. It takes about 10 minutes only to reach the city and the ticket is affordable.

Next challenge was finding our Hotel. Hoamm... this was my first time here at Malacca. So, I used my Google Maps. Actually, Malacca is the small city. All the venues are located in one area, aboslutely my hotel as well. Go everywhere by just walking.
 |
| Hotel Hong |

| Hotel Hong |
To tell you the truth, I picked the hotel at Malacca randomly. I read through the Internet, Hotel Hong is worth to stay. And I proved it by self. I feel cozy here and the service was awesome. The hotel's owner explain to us about Malacca Maps so we can find the venue easily. We also got free maps from him. He also recommended us to the delicious food in Malacca. The reason why you must stay when visit Malacca is Hotel Hong has a strategic position. It is close to Jongker Walk and many venues next to Jongker Walk.
We took a rest for a while and decided to start our exploration at Jongker Walk at 6PM. Jongker Walk opens at 5PM 'till midnight. Scroll down for Jongker Walk Gallery

Wow, we were so happy today and we got so many things from Jongker Walk. That was almost 11PM. Time to go back to the Hotel and have a rest. We would have another exploration in the next day. Energy Recharging Was On Progress... See you the next part (Part 3).
