We took two cars to malacca, and guess what, both drivers were the guys and they had the responsibility of driving their dad's cars. Jo male's mum mentioned something about the two 'dum dum's tagging along as the girls' drivers. Don't worry, we appreciate you guys -- as great drivers and cameramen =p. Poor johnson even had to become a handbag rack for us when the girls were taking their photos.
Anyway it was overall a great trip, even though I don't think I have recovered from my sleep deprivation yet as of now, haha. On the first day we had fish head noodle soup around Jo male's place before leaving towards malacca. Arriving there -- after a while of turning around in the jam and the one-way streets -- we managed to make it to the town centre where all the tourist attractions were. Visited the usual Stadhuys, Christ Church of Melaka which was unfortunately under renovation, and took a trishaw ride around to see the sights.
So, this is a photo of day one -- the only photo, I think, that has all of us in it. The guys had fun taking pictures with the cannons there *ahem*. Went to the supermarket to get us some groceries.
Then we headed down to Muar, where Peggy's grandma kindly lent us her uncle's empty house to wreck, i mean, stay in. We all decided beforehand to do a steamboat thingy so the moment we got there we had to prepare all the food and ting's multi-purpose cooker.
Do note the amount of cabbage sitting there. Tijo, you sure got your fill of A LOT of vege. As usual, we bought too much food and ended up finishing the vegetables by playing the "killer-spy-civillian" card game thingy and using it as punishment. Alcohol, check; water, check; this was seriously the first time I've done it with vegetables of all things! Hahaha.On the second day we drove down to A' Famosa to do all the touristy things. Paid RM38 for the animal safari thing where they lock you in a caged trunk to be brought around and seen by the animals in the zoo. Being science people, we just had to make stupid comments about the animals , haha! It was cool, but I had this sad feeling that the animals weren't that well-kept and were stressed, but that's just me. Since we had this huge breakfast at Muar, we decided to drive down to malacca to eat dinner. Had the famous chicken rice ball and strolled along Jongker Street. Then headed to a "satay celup" place to have supper. It was my first time trying it out and I enjoyed it a lot. I think I almost exclusively ate "yao chao guai" -- deep fried dough -- with the sauce.
Woke up around noon on the third day. Had bak kut teh in Muar as lunch before heading back. Johnson had a bit of misfortune with the dad's car, so we got delayed a bit before leaving. We stopped by Port Dickson, per suggestion of Jo, for the beach, and took a load of silly pictures. By the time we reached back we ended up going for dinner in SS2 together before going our seperate ways.
Thanks everyone for making it such a great trip. Wish you were here with us, Crystal, and we did miss having you along!
I'm going on vacation with my family starting tomorrow. I'll try to get souveniers for you all, baggage permitting =) I'll be back in KK around beginning of December to start rotting. That's all for the update of my post-exam life at the moment. Ciao.
