My wife and baby, Maisarah, trying to smile. After check in, that evening, all of us headed to Mydin Hypermarket which located in the Central district.Mydin Hypermarkett was located right next to Giant Hypermart, however, the irony was the products sold in Mydin Hypermarket was much cheaper that products sold in Giant Hypermart. Did a bit of shopping at Mydin Hypermarket & after that we had bought our dinner at the nearby Pasar Malam Kota Duyung Lama.. :)
