HS Lim & Malik at Genting Day 2

breakfast was served at the hotel coffee house, and we had to add a small additional payment as the standard breakfast package was only for 2 persons... from the first day itself, all other arrangements had been graciously covered by the boss... after breakfast, as usual, Abyana headed straight to the swimming pool to enjoy some time before check‑out... we checked out at 12:00 noon and then proceeded directly back home, concluding a short but enjoyable family getaway...

accompanied Naja in conjunction with her workers’ day off together with her boss to Genting Highlands, where all staff members were encouraged to bring along their families... we stayed at Scapes Hotel Genting, which is managed by the LBS Bina Group... as we planned to head up to Genting first, we opted for a late check‑in... we parked our car at Genting Highlands Premium Outlets and took the Awana Skyway Gondola up to the top... upon arrival, we went straight to Genting SkyWorlds, where we spent time with the rest of the families until 6:00 pm... after that, we headed to Burger & Lobster Genting for dinner... once dinner was done, we took the Awana Skyway Gondola back down to Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, drove to Scapes Hotel Genting, checked in, and finally settled down to rest for the night...
