Fri - Sun -31 July - 2 August 2020
Day 1 - 31 July
Around 8 am, my darling together with Teik and family came to fetch me
then went for breakfast at Batu Lancang. The tables were all full up with
people, but the boss of the shop opened up. After finishing a few tables for
us, we went to fetch another two disabled friends from their center.
From there we headed to ĶL, but before the highway, we stop at the Shell station
restroom as some of them went to ease themselves. We continue our journey from
there. Inside the car, we listen to music while some of them fell asleep.
We had a smooth ride as there were not many cars on the highway. Teik didn't go
very fast, just a regular speed. On the way, we stopped at Tapah rest
house as I needed to ease myself. The disabled toilet is not suitable for me to
use as there was no railing to hold, so I had to use my bedpan. It took some time
for me inside the toilet.
From there we continued our journey with an easy and smooth ride. We arrived in
ĶL outskirts around noon. Teik used his GPS to find the way to Kl Plaza
(where we are staying). It took him around half an hour to find and reach
there. When we arrived outside ĶL Plaza. Teik dropped my darling and me outside
the other office and they went to searched for a parking lot. We searched for
their office on the 5th floor and found it. There was a lady staff inside, she
took my particulars and gave us the key to our apartment. It was on the ninth
floor. After getting our keys, we called Teik and the rest to meet us on
the ninth floor. It took some time for us to meet them as we couldn't find them.
But at last, we met them.
We searched for our apartment and found it. When we went in, I was amazed it
was so big with 3 rooms and 2 toilets. There was a big sitting room and kitchen
too. We kept all our bags in our rooms.
It was evening then, and everyone was very hungry. We went down to
search for food. On the ground floor, all around were shopping malls. We went
out to search for food. There were a lot of people along the pathway, by the
side were many restaurants and cafes.
Before I went, Janice told us there was an Indian nasi kandar
restaurant which was cheaper, but we went all around the place searching for
the shop, yet we couldn't find it. I called Janice for directions to the
restaurant and found it. We went quite far before finding it. My darling and
Teik packed our food and went back to the apartment to eat.
At night, after dinner we chit-chat. The fun time was Teik brought a very big
bag of coins and we all counted. It was so fun together with all of them.
During our chatting time, I told darling and Teik that I wanted to sit in the
cable car. Darling asked Teik’s 2nd daughter to accompany me. Then we ended
that topic.
All of us sleep early that night as everyone was tired of the journey.
Day 2 – 1 Aug
All of us woke up very early that morning. After
everyone got ready, we all cooked Maggie Mee for breakfast as there was some
utensil in the kitchen.
Around
8.30 am, we headed off to Genting. Teik uses his GPS and follows the way up to
Genting. There were not many cars while we were on the highway and on the
way up the road to Genting there are very few cars going up too.
While
on the way up he stopped his car but I didn't know why. Then I realise he
dropped us at Genting Skyway station. The rest of the group didn't want to
follow us. I was really happy and thrilled that I got the chance that I got to
sit in the cable car for the first time.
When
Ei Ling pushed me inside the station, it was a big place. We took a lift up to
the tickets counter. There were many others' too queued up for the tickets. Ei
Ling knew the way up as and she the others went up before in our early trips.
So it was quite easy and fast for her to buy the tickets for both of us.
After
buying the tickets, she pushed to the cable car station. There were many cable
cars bringing people for rides. When some of the cable cars stop, I thought
they had to transfer me to the seat, but I was surprised the person in charge
pushed me inside the cable car. Inside the cable car was very spacious, so the
wheelchair user was very easy to push in. When the door closed, the car moved
very smoothly. While the car was moving I could see the view from the top.
It
took 10-15 minutes for us to reach to top station, which was on the 7th floor.
When it reach the top, my darling, Teik, and the others were waiting for us.
When the door opened, my darling pushed me out. I had a nice feeling even
though it was a short time up in the cable car.
From there, we took a walk around the place, and then we went to Marrybrown
fast food restaurant on the 4th floor for a late break. From there we
adjourned to the 2nd floor, where the Skypool Indoors Park was.
Teik
queued up to buy tickets for his daughters and 2 other disabled friends to play
the game. There were lots of young people queuing up to go in there too.
From there we adjourned outside the casino. There were lots of people queueing
up to go into the casino. Teik went in together with those people.
Since
my darling and I saw so many go in, we decided not to go due to Covid 19.
What we did was walk around the place and see them playing. Even though I
couldn't play all the trilling games, seeing those people play was very fun
enough.
Around 3.30 pm, Teik meet us back at the same place where were. His
daughters also meet us as they only played a few games. Other games were full of
people. As we were feeling hungry, we went to the 4th-floor food court to fill
our stomachs.
We
came down from Genting around 5.30 pm, then we went to ĶL Jusco Supermarket to
buy dinner back. It was very sad to see the whole supermarket shops were closed
and the place were so empty due to MCO 1. There were only a few shops that were
opened. We saw there were sushi packets so we bought some of them back to the
apartment to eat. All of us had a good time. I felt enjoyed my day, at the same
time felt very tired.
Day 3 – 2 Aug
On our last morning at the apartment, we cooked Maggi mee again as
it was difficult to find breakfast outside. We packed our bags and check out
from the apartment around 9 something. Darling pushed me to the 5th-floor
office and returned the room keys. We checked out early that morning because we
wanted to go to Ipoh Supermarket.
As my darling accompany Teik to drive his car to the KL Plaza
entrance. We waited with all our bags for quite a long. During our waiting
time, I was looking at the people who walked along the pathway. At last, Teik
arrived at the entrance. Darling told us that they were checking his car.
We left ĶL town around 10.15 am. There were not many cars on the
highway, we have a smooth drive. we arrived in Ipoh town at 1.15 pm, and
straight to buy the famous Salty Chicken, biscuits and other stuff.
In that area, there were lots of coffee shops. Most of the time,
we had difficulty finding a parking space. Luckily we found a parking lot.
As it was lunchtime and there were many people inside the coffee shop. Luckily
we found a table and we ordered our food. After lunch, we went to Jusco
Ipoh Supermarket. It was a big shopping mall with a lot of shops and
restaurants. There were a lot of people shopping and having lunch.
We straight went into the supermarket and check out what wanted to
buy. We bought quite a lot of things. From there, we headed back to Penang.
It was evening when we arrived in Penang. Teik dropped me home
first before dropping the rest. It was a fun and enjoyable weekend.
