This is most probably the most less time I have slept one night in my life...I have only sleep 2-3 hours T.T Early in the morning, 6.30am, I have to wake up to have the buffet breakfast provide by hotel before departure. Unfortunately, I am having serious sore throat, make me lost appetite to enjoy this great buffet.

...but I found nothing special and great about this hotel, except the hair dryer and buffet breakfast
the hotel is served with many facilities....but I don't have the chance to enjoy them
While waiting at the hotel lobby, camwhore time~

There's a famous stall selling Asam Laksa, with tons of people
Laksa, in hokkien means rubbish....lol
...and the noodles is really full of many other things that I don't eat...lak sa~
The fried kuey teow is sold in a old ugly cafe under a huge tree
though the environment seem unfavourable, but the char kuey teow is very delicious
this is much more tasty than that in Gurney Drive
We are not having much time in visiting Kek Lok Temple, so we are in a rush
The main attraction here is the new built Guan Yin which locted on the top of hill
it is a huge Guan Yin...very very high!
