Malacca-ka

*Why Malacca-ka? Hmm...You should ask my 3 years old niece~

Day 1 (Saturday, 13/2/10)

I packed my things. Yes, I ALWAYS do last minute preparations. The train was at 1.30pm so it gaves me extra time for being lazy.

1.30PM --> Travelling in second class of KTMB. A malay boy whom I guess is younger than me (He called me 'akak' so yeah, he younger than me) sits besides me. He was sleeping throughout the journey. Fortunately he told me that he is getting down in Sg.Buloh (I'm getting down there as well) before dozing off again. I opened my Biology book and read for 30 minutes before DNAs and RNAs start swarming in my head. So closed the book and decided to snooze.

3.15PM --> Reached Sg.Buloh and hopped into my brother-in-law's car and thus, my three days of vacation begun. We were chit-chatting all the way along.

Unknown time --> Time passes quickly. Before we finish talking (We,sisters talk A LOT), we had reached Malacca. My brother-in-law who once studied in Kolej Yayasan Melaka showed us some places. We stopped at Hospital of Malacca for my sister's penpal friend came to guide us to the motel.

6++PM --> Arrived at Bukit Serindit Motel. A nice and welcoming motel next to a GRAVEYARD!!! Okay, that part wasn't welcoming. We checked in and Gobi (my sis's penpal friend) asked us to get some rest and take a bath before he come and fetch us at 7.30PM for dinner. So we were lying on the bed and expressing the coolness of the motel and the eeriness of the graveyard. Then one by one, we had our bath and get ready.

7.30PM --> Gobi came and we left to 'somewhere' (I don't know the place's name but it's situated near the Sg.Melaka and kinda like the heart of Malacca) We enjoyed the view of Christ Church in the night and colourful trishaws. We hit the Jonker Street which is kinda like night market in Kampar but it's more merrier. Adding up the normal atmosphere is the fact that it is Chinese New Year Eve. I saw loads of foreigners and they were having fun in their own way. I bought 2 pairs of wooden chopsticks for my friend,Theng and myself.

10PM--> We went to 'mamak' shop for dinner + supper. Ordered chicken murtabak and it tastes good~ Enjoyed the nighty air of Malacca as eating the food.

11PM--> Went back to motel and a FROZEN night. I should have keep the remote control for air-conditioner.

DAY 2 (Sunday, 14/2/10)

It's Valentine + Chinese New Year~

9AM--> Woke up and chit chatted as lying on the bed. Had our showers and left for breakfast again, in a mamak shop. The owner was sweet and the waiters are fast-working and nice to the customers. Enjoyed our breakfast in the roadside located shop.

10AM++ --> Went to Kota A'Famosa. A must-not-missed tourist attraction in Malacca. First, we entered the museum (I think it IS a museum). I always enjoy looking at history-related thingy, so i was the only one who enjoyed the visit. (The others just wanna be in an air-conditioned room =.=") Then, continue our journey to the famous fort. It was hot like hell and all I want is to go up there ASAP and get down ASAP. And I did that.

2PM ++ --> Had 'ais kacang' in a roadside-situated stall. It was quite refreshing after that HOT trip. Continue our journey to Dataran Pahlawan where the aunties (My mom and sister) did most of their shopping.

4PM --> Had chicken porridge for lunch + tea break in McD.

5.30PM --> Went back to the motel and decided to take a very very short nap. Woke up at

6.30PM and rushed to get ready for dinner in Gobi's house.

7.15PM --> Gobi brought us to his house. Introduced us to his family and his soon-to-be wife. There was a small birthday celebration for Gobi's brother who turned 20 the day before (13/2/10)

8.30PM --> Mom,sister,Gobi and his fiancee hit the Jonker Street this time. My brother-in-law, my niece, my second eldest sister and me stayed at the Christ Church. Waited for them until 11.30PM.

11.30PM--> Weird desire~Wanna go to the seaside NEAR MIDNIGHT! But Gobi still brought us there and I sat on the stones, watching few boats and ships on Straits of Malacca. The busiest and high risk of getting robbed by Johnny Depp (yeah,the pirates) strait in the world. We left the spot and went to took a glimpse of Eye On Malaysia in a closer view.

12AM ++ --> Had supper (steambuns and Milo ice) in a shop in Kota Laksamana. Enjoyed the night breeze and left to the motel.

DAY 3 (15/2/10)

Nothing much other than packing up our things and visiting an old friend of my bro-in-law. We reached Kl around 5.30PM. That's it. Vacation is over T_T
