Holiday Inn Sepang

-

Since our flight was at just before 9am, this meant that we had to arrive at airpot early to check-in. Despite having the feature to auto-check-in 48 hours on their app, Singapore Airlines asked us to check in at their counter at the airport. My best guess was that they needed to check that we had valid visas to visit Australia.

In any case, rather than waking up super early and taking a ride from home while jostling with other drivers going to work, I decided that it was prudent to stay overnight at a hotel near the airport. I settled on Holiday Inn Sepang: it had good rating and review. Also, I had good experience with their hotels in Sydney and Singapore and had signed up as member for those bookings.

They had free airport shuttle but from the reviews, I got to know that the earliest departure time was 7am, which the time I aimed to have use arrived at the airpot. It takes only 15 to drive to airport but I didn't want to cut into an already rather thin buffer of 2 hours. Remember that we were asked to check in at the airport itself.

To my pleasant surprise, when we arrived at the hotel, there were informational cards that laid out the departure times of the shuttle which were earlier tahn 7am! We registered for the 6.45am shuttle immediately after we checked in.

I'm happy with the hotel room (clean and spacious!) and services. They even left a bag of local snacks in our room while we were out :)

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i...
