Walkaround the mall. Had the chance to visit the exhibition held by UMS. Queried about the postgraduates courses offered by UMS. Next, we went to KKIA for check-in. While on our way, received a message from MAS that our flight had been retimed to 8.45 p.m, instead of the original 7.45 p.m departure. But still proceed on to check-in at the airport using the self check-in kiosk. Went to the nearby Tanjung Aru beach to enjoy the sunset and dinner together. Went back to the airport after dinner.
