Batu Buruk Gang Reunites
A week after our Kuala Terengganu trip, we received an invitation that meant a lot to us. Our good friend Vinodh had organised a small reunion with mates from our former high school—the Batu Buruk gang. The gathering was set to take place at SOULed OUT in Sri Hartamas, so we decided to make a night of it and booked a room nearby at The Signature Hotel.
Just the Two of Us
Brendan was busy that weekend, helping friends with an open day booth at Multimedia University in Cyberjaya, so this short getaway became a quiet couples’ staycation for us.
Lunch, Drinks, and Check In
We arrived in Sri Hartamas around lunchtime. We had lunch at Nasi Kandar Pelita, followed by drinks at Starbucks, before making the short drive to The Signature Hotel to check in.
The hotel was set among restaurants and shops in the well to do Desa Sri Hartamas neighbourhood. It was about 1 km from the E23 motorway and 5 km from Publika Shopping Gallery. The rooms were modern and came with flat screen TVs, free Wi Fi, microwaves, minifridges, and tea and coffee making facilities. Some units even had kitchenettes and washer dryers. The hotel also featured an infinity pool, a gym, and a rooftop café with skyline views.
That said, because we were only staying for one night, we knew we would not have time to enjoy most of the facilities—except for breakfast the next morning.
Reunion Night
In the evening, we headed out to SOULed OUT. One of us spent hours catching up with old friends, laughing over memories, and reconnecting with people who had known us since our teenage years. The Batu Buruk gang reunion was loud, warm, and full of stories that only time and shared history could create.
Breakfast with a View
The next morning, we woke up at eight and headed to the rooftop café for breakfast. The modest buffet spread cost RM28.00 per person (≈ USD6 / EUR5). It was simple but filling—just right for easing into the day.
After breakfast, we went back to the room, packed up, and checked out at ten in the morning.
Until the Next Adventure
That marked the end of our short Hartamas staycation. It reminded us how meaningful old friendships were and how powerful a simple reunion could be.
We planned to take a short break in July before resuming our travels in August—when we would finally visit Sabah for the first time.
