Malacca

Since I'm having two days off from work, had my virgin trip to malacca with hubby and his family.
(Every single minutes, I just can't wait to get out of singapore and explore other parts of the world!

The whole journey took about 4 hours. Well, at least shorter than genting. haha! Throughout, I could only see the greenery lush of trees. The natural-like scenery is super relaxing! Meanwhile am busy camwhoring while hubby already fell into his lala land.


Okay at least he reads a storybook before that, fully utilize while I just wasting my time away haha! Side track a little, Hubby got a new storybook(forget the book title just remember got a dragon logo) and he keeps promoting how awesome the story line. Seriously, I don't have the habit of reading storybook. The last time am reading it was like so many years ago back in secondary schoo time I guessed. haha! And it could actually took me half a year before I can complete one thick book (: I prefer reading magazine though.

Back to my trip, checked in at a motel near jonker st. First time am staying in a motel! Frankly, I always dislike the idea of staying in a motel. But after my stay, it changed my thought completely. it ain't as bad afterall. The motel that I stayed in has a unique design with all cute drawing along the corridor. Just the entrance itself, madly cute! Most importantly, it is CHEAP AND ACCESSIBLE!





Along the streets, spotted an apprarels shop that have a big sign says: RM1


I was like woahhh such a good deal! But as I go nearer, there's a caption that further states only applicable to second piece. Well, thats always the case. MARKETING TACTICS=X






After that, we had a long walk before we reached that famous stall. There's a very old uncle that will use needle and thread to poke through your ears. Chinese commonly believe that it cures eyesight problem. When I see hubby doing it, it freaks me out because when the uncle used needle to poke through his ears, I saw blood! YUCKS!




In the end I decided to give it a try, yes my first time again! Too many 'first time' during this trip.


The following pictures speaks everything how the process like. Hmmm not that pain actually. My piercing seems more painful. haha!







Hubby was looking at a photo album from the shop that snaps the face of all customer who patrons before. Guess what, one of the mediacorp artist Pang ling ling visits too.




Afterwhich, had a quick break at A&W. My all time favourite! (I'm sure all of you still remembers the rootbeer float!)





One of the most unexpected stuff for the trip was the so-called chingay performance in Malacca. We were told it was a once in a ten year thingy. SO HOW CAN WE MISSED IT RIGHT?





When the night sets, head over to the crowed and lively night market. Ordered the stick of potato(Donno what's that called) damn nice!






Another surprise was that I can see fireworks from our motel in the midnight! Cool or what! haha.

Lastly, settled our dinner at a portugese restaurant. I simply love the atmosphere. It's kind of like a bar with all the clubbing background music. Dining at the front and you can drink all night at the back. Machiam two in one. LOL






The picture is dark because we are really inside their pub! haha!Overall, I visited the so-called CHINATOWN, LITTLE INDIA AND CLARKE QUAY in malacca. Amazingly, the mode of transport to visit these three places is by foot! We literally walked on the road and crossed many streets. Good exploring!
