Melaka Trip

shortly after coming back from Bali i have decided to go Malacca to visit special Grace (perasan) n of course Alex =)

so okay... sat the bus to Malacca which took ard 2 and 1/2 hours to reach... then well, Grace sorta lost her way to Melaka Sentral so it took a lil longer time for her to reach... then well for me, going to Melaka Sentral was definitely my first.. was kinda unsure where i was in the complex coz it was a cross shaped building then dunno which is the entrance of exit...


so anyways, met Grace outside A&W... then we went on our merry way to Jonker Street to meet up with Alex.. gosh so long tym never see him oso macam never change much liddat =) can still recognize him lo.. hahaha we ate lunch in the commercialized, not-so-good ball ball chicken rice shop... >>>

then of course i took a picture of the ball ball chicken rice too



















so anyways, went to the normal tourist spots... Malacca is so so so HOT!!! i mean.. the weather...

these are the pics of some Malacca tourist spots like A Famosa la, Clock Tower la, Dataran Merdeka la.... juz look laa =)


(i love this pic coz the sky is juz so blue.. like i'm not in M'sia at all)

after going to these places.. banyak hot laa!! went home to my good host, Grace's house to take a rest n wash up... ate dinner with the family too! =) i juz realized they dun eat rice.... or at least not tt dinner la.. anyways, after dinner we watched 'The Pursuit of Happyness'. It was a nice touching story... of personal struggles n strife...


later after the movie, Calvin, aka Grace's bf came to fetch us out for supper n oso dapao stuff for Grace's parents... Calvin's a nice guy.. took us to the nice places to eat... hahahah ate budget satay celup which is 30cents per stick...


DAY TWO


woke up early around 8am... went down the stairs n only see Grace's grandma downstairs... then i sat n drank milo while talkin to 'ah po'... then well, went out in Grace's car to fetch Calvin n went to Calvin's uncle's shop for sum Taiwan noodles... kinda nice. but i ate the spicy beef... darn it it's hot for me.. = =


then we went to Jonker Street for the second time....


went to Hotel Puri... it is on Billionaire street... the hotel is actually renovated from an old building which has hundreds of rooms.. it looks kinda cool la....


the chairs look like a matriach's chair n stuff.. olden nyonya stuff... =)


went to a few old shops to look around too.. then only i realized Malaccans may stay in Malacca n not go to these old shops....
i took some pix.. but not posting them coz lazy =)


so anyways, went back Grace's house to watch 300 =)
darn cool show lo... it's like.... wow.. haha
300 Spartans against 1million Persians....
i know Spartans are born to be champions without blemish, taken to the extremes... but the pictures in my mind were never portrayed like tt.. hahaha


evening came.. time to go Jonker Street for the THIRD TIME!! but of coz this time different la.. coz it's night time and it's livelier... =)

i didn't take pics coz enjoying myself quite a lot n besides, got lotsa ppl.. take pic oso take pics of ppl's heads.... ate n ate n ate la....
