Great LTE speed all over the hotel. All on the iPhone, the Nexus and Anita's iPad. All on Celcom, but the speed on Maxis was more on the HSPDA side.
The hotel did come with fast free Internet. On last test, it rates at around 5Mbit which was not too shabby. But clearly the mobile speed won hands down. But I wasn't complaining.

Looks like they were both still in bed even though both of us had gone downstairs for breakfast. Couldn't tell what time they finally slept last night. Must be well after midnight.
Their breakfast had already been delivered. But it would take a whole longer before they touch them.
The breakfast was already waiting for themI might have a quick stroll around the hotel while they do just that.

Was to tired to blog last night when we arrived at Melaka. The drive in was really smooth, leaving KL just after 6.30, making it to the hotel by 9. Check-in was also pretty straight forward before we head straight for dinner. I was starving then.
Nice comfortable suite Anita booked and settling into the room took a long time as usual with the boys jumping around excitedly. Real havoc and it was way past midnight before they finally settled.
I had a bath instead of the a shower while enjoying the boys bickering. And I was already asleep when they finally settled down.
The hotel we stayed was right in the middle urge town, built in the 90s and was more of a business hotel than for tourist. But the location was excellent. And they had a swimming pool, which was a prerequisite.
I had just finished my breakfast while Anita was having hers downstairs. The boys were still asleep and I was tasked to plan today's excursions. My parents-in-law was around as well, so we couldn't plan anything too taxing. They came here to relax. But a beca ride or two may do them good. Will probably do that after lunch.

Yes, there was the customary drama before he was allowed home. The moment Idlan saw Anita, all hell broke loose. It was painful everywhere and even the anaesthetist came to help. Nothing some paracetamol syrup can't fix! And from the improvement he had, that must've been one hell of a paracetamol concoction.
On the vanride home now. Our driver driving extra slow to miss all the bumps on the road. The local anaesthetics was still holding so far. Not much shouting yet. Only the odd ooh and aah.
He asked for some Nando's chicken again. Obviously his grandmother put an end to that. Not sure what the diet going to be like waiting for him when we reached home, with all the pantang and what not.
The bed and Nintendo were ready. Hopefully he could get a bit of rest for the next couple of days. I was sure Irfan had other plans ...

It finally took us ten and a half hours to reach Gombak from Kota Bharu. And the main reasons were traffic lights at the towns along the way.
The worst one was when we were exiting Bentung. A six km tailback just to pass one stupid traffic light. And 5 minutes after that we were on the Karak Highway. What a waste of time!
Near Kuala Lipis. The traffic started to build up. This time it was due to a minor accident.
Near Temerloh
We got onto the Karak Highway well after sundownTraffic on the highway was pretty light as we entered it just after 8 pm. Now at home, I just finished my drinks and dinner.
An overnight rest before settling some business tomorrow. Still on leave but some things at work needed sorting out .....
