1 June 2008 (Sunday)

Adam wanted me to arrive by 8a.m. in his room before we proceeded for our buffet breakfast at Five Sails Restaurant, Magellan Sutera Hotel.

I planned to wake up at 7a.m. and arrived there by 8a.m. but I did not wake up until about 7.15a.m. and therefore did not arrive until 8.15a.m.

As I was parking the car at the hotel carpark, Adam messaged me to ask whether I was still in bed. I told him yes. Two minutes later I gave him a surprise by opening his hotel room door! He forgot that I had to be at the hotel no matter what because I was holding one of the entrance card for his room and I also had to consume the complimentary buffet breakfast (as if someone was pointing a gun at me).

What better way to start the day but to have buffet breakfast and to look outside the South China Sea while savouring all the food available.

At first Adam wanted to sit at the al-fresco area of Five Sails Restaurant but there was no table available. But we were glad to be in the air-conditioned restaurant.

Adam had his dose of black coffee before anything else. I did not have coffee or tea.

I went for a piece of beef bacon, a piece of beef ham, baked beans and bread roll. There was a queue for the make your own white sliced bread into toast so I could not be bothered. I also took a glass of Orange Juice. The beef bacon was overcooked and the beef ham tasted ok.

It was a pity that I could not eat much for breakfast and as I was sitting there having the first lot to settle down before proceeding for more food, I saw three tables of Japanese women (altogether ten of tem) in their early fifties having breakfast as well. (It must be nice to be able to travel the world with friends at that age without their husband and children tagging along)

The next and final round I had mutton and chicken curry with half a hard boiled egg and some rice from the ‘nasi lemak’ section. Both curries tasted delicious. After that I did not have anymore food.

Adam enjoyed the chicken curry and he had more than one pot of black coffee.

After breakfast, we went back to Adam’s room so that he can do his final packing before checking out. He had to drive himself to Terminal 2 to return the rented Toyota Innova before going to Kota Kinabalu International Airport to catch the 11.40a.m. flight to Hong Kong.

While checking out at the lobby, I asked the person in charge how much it would have cost Adam if I did not use my name, she said RM690, which is RM190 more.

We bade farewell at the carpark of Magellan Sutera Hotel.

Then I drove to Krugma House to attend Canaanland Celebration.
