Helo To Melaka.

Firstly, im pleased to say that i actually kept a travel journal to record down the slightly more happening details of the trip. Actually nothing much happened luh just the same stuff but am glad to see Grandmere and Mum enjoying themselves.
That was the whole purpose after all!
Everything in Melaka was still freshly familiar , since i just went there with my classmates bout half a year ago. So yeah, this is how it goes.


Day One, 11th Oct.
Purpose of visit: Spend time with grandmere's relatives and just a short getaway @ 0835 , we headed off in the coach, love the fact that it was a double decker and that im sitting alone. F.Y.I, im not being emo.
Sitting by the window, face basking in the sun, pluggin' in to the ipod, deep contemplation, its the start of a retreat.

@0900 was breathless watching 'Drag Me To Hell' on the TV in the coach. Horrifying Disturbing movie that still kept me seemingly engrossed in it.

@1100 Rest stop, Yong Peng.
Toilet, i need to pee.
Cupcorn and Tea Egg as a snack.

@ 1510 Hotel Equatorial, Melaka Room 810
Arrived destination.

Facing a pretty scenic view from up here in our room, we've a small balcony overlooking the heart of Melaka. Because we are located at the central, its highly accessible!

Grandmere's relatives gonna pick us up in an hour's time.

Grand aunt and Grandmere hugging tight.

@ 2155 Back to the hotel

After a relatively long day out hanging out at Jonker Street with Grandmere's relatives, we're back, tired and sweaty. Grandaunt's grandson drove us to a Portugese Restaurant for an early dinner. Had some recommended dishes which were spicy , loved the Assam Fish and Kangkong!

It was appetitising in a way or so. Grandaunt's family was very very hospitable. They brought us ard to visit 2 of their houses and then we went on to Jonker walk. Managed to catch a glimpse of all the excitement and nightlife.

That's it for Day 1 then, gotta recharge.

----------------------------------------------------------

Day Two, 12th Oct.

@0750 Hotel Room

Preparing ourselves to head downstairs for the buffet breakfast provided, yum.

@0850 back in room

Breakfast was awesome, love the cereals, there are so many varieties! We had all-american with eggs, pastries etc, and chinese congee. Am glad Grandmere loves it!

@1545 Back to room after a long day

After breakfast, we had a guided tour to bring us to Tan Kim Hock for some local produce shopping. Thereafter we went to the Peranakan Museum, yes, again, it was my 2nd time there but at least i could relate it to my grandmere. Afterwards, our tour guide cum driver brought us to a homemade Nyonya Kueh house. Was quite fascinated with what i saw! A few ahmas with their filipino maids i supposed, using their hands to make each and every one of the kuehs.

Treated both grandmere and mum for lunch at a Chicken Rice Balls store along Jonker.

The chicken rice came in cute little rice balls, almost bite size.

Came back with a few shopping done. However, was only disappointed i haven't managed to find a guitar shop in the area. Darn.

Anyway , got back from a swim in the hotel with Mum and we are gonna head out to find "City Music" .

Im determined to get a Ac guitar luh!

@ 1750 back again

OMG YAY YAY, i finally got my much desired Ac guitar!

12 RM wasnt wasted on the cab fare. Thanks to mum for accompanying me:D

I got the guitar at such a good deal, it was a total steal.

anyway we are looking foward for a Peranakan dinner feast provided in the hotel later.

@ 2159 hotel room

Shopping done, Peranakan feast was fab

Seri Nyonya provided an array of peranakan dishes like the all famous Ayam Pongteh, Assam Fish, Belachan chilli, Nyonya chap chye and i finally tried the chendol!

that wraps it all up for Day 2.

------------------------------------------------------

Day Three , 13th oct and our last day.

Relatives brought us for Bak Ku Teh for brunch.

Soup was tantalising but still i cant appreciate Bak Ku Teh .

---------------------------------------------------------

Well, and that was all for our 3 days in Melaka. I still had other photos of places we have visited but im lazy to post em all up ald. So here we go, it was an eye opener for them i hoped!

P/S: I think my photography did improved. Cam not wasted. Yay me, or not?

Retreat or not?

off to Malacca tomorrow morning.
Grandmere wants to visit relatives, me and mum just want to do some shopping plus accompanying Grandmere.

Back on Tuesday 13th oct with a less burdenised self i hope.

When all i really want to do is.

Life is too short to waste. Ah i want very much to go into these!
I need time, i need motivation, i need dollars and cents, i need patience, i need everything that takes to get me further.

omg DJ DJ DJ,im amazed with mixers and amplifiers.

Amidst the seriousness.

Alright, so just as life was heading for the downturn, yesterday night lift it up a little.
Thankful for that, at least i wasn't feeling so lifeless.

Spinelli's store outing with my awesome colleagues at Minds Cafe, at the one opp Peace Centre.
Bobby Joe booked a table for all of us at 11pm so we got on to play till 2am or so.
We had a blasting wild time, playing taboo, Repeat pete and all sorts of games that requires a zest of energy, lots of hearty laughter, courage for all that embarrasing actions and humor!

And i love it all, including the company of course. its one of the rare times where you get to see everyone's other side.

Oh, me and eva went for a drink with Shimin at Mr Bean's Cafe as well which was just opp Minds'. Got a bottle of white wine and i got literally persuaded by Shimin to drink at least one and a half glasses of it. Kinda sweet and a tad sour for alcohol but still, i personally do not appreciate wine at all. Me and eva washed it down with gulps of iced water.

Met up with some of our prev spinelli friends as well , they had some rounds of drinks at Alps bar and then we headed on to Minds' by 11pm.

Photos will definitely be up once i get hold of those. Await.

goodness gracious, i cant get to sleep yet.
the 12 hours i slept through last night was a boost.

Right now, after working for like 9 hours, im still wide awake.
Still chewing on gum, listening to Taylor Swift's, figuring out some guitar chords, socialising on msn and still thinking bout how life still sucks.
