Malacca Trip !

This post is quite overdue :)

On the 3rd of July me and some friends went on a day trip, a more specific term would be food trip :D , to Malacca :)

So all of us gathered at Kel's place before Alex came and picked us all up in his CRV (our transport ).

The trip was about 1 3/4 hours ( could've been shorter if we had paid more attention on getting out of Subang instead of making one wrong turn after another :P ).

Upon arrival, we immediately made our way to a beef noodle restaurant that I was familiar with on account of going there once before with my family on a previous trip there :)

Our awesome driver, who never slept off once, took us to 170 km/h, Malacca, then back in one piece :)

OH yes I forgot to mention ! On our expedition to the state down south ( from Selangor anyway), our 'crew' consisted of 6 people. If you own or have been in a CRV before, you would know that it has a driver's seat, a front passenger seat and back seats comfortably spacious enough for 3 people. Sum it all up and you'll get 5 seats :) So where did our extra crew member seat ?

In the trunk :P

After letting Des out of the trunk, we went into the beef noodles place. GOSH they were sooooo satisfyingly delicious, just as I remembered :D

So after our fulfilling breakfast , we went towards the city centre :)

Now, its not that I'm ranting about Malacca or anything cuz its really a nice place, but they seem to have loads of Mc Ds ! Even before we reached the beef noodles place and while we were driving on the outskirts of the city , we passed 4 or so Mc Ds ? And when we reached the Dataran Palawan / A Famosa area, we saw another 3 more..... They must sure love Mc D :P

Anyway, we parked and hung at a Mc D near A Famosa while waiting for some of us who needed to use the toilets..

Ee Leen :)

So after the short toilet break, we walked towards A Famosa.

All four of us coincidentally wore blue :P

Me and Aunty Kiew :)

Penis cam :P

After A Famosa we walked back to our car to discover that we had been fined for not buying come parking coupon thing that only the locals know about =.= Anyway, the fine was just Rm 5 so it wasn't a big deal. After paying our fine, we parked somewhere near Jonker's street and walked there. Parking in Malacca's city centre is near impossible !! We went to 3 parking bays with no vacant spots until finally arriving at a forth that was quite a distant from Jonker :P

So once there, we lined up, yes queued, out this store that apparently is very famous for their chicken rice balls. Khai Cheng, Leen and the stick went to the store next door that apparently sold very famous cendol, durian cendol to be exact :) And I could definitely taste why they were famous cuz they were absolutely delicious :) Not too sweet and the durian in it didn't over power the entire cendol with a generous amount of other ingredients; red beans, atap chi, green things u find in cendol :P

Eating our cendol while waiting in line at the chicken rice balls place.

Feeling like a pimp ;)

Lunch :)

So after lunch, we were a little full from lunch and beat from walking all day so we went to Dataran Pahlawan to just hang and rest :)

Kel brought his Cluedo and we played while sipping root beer floats at A&W :)

Aunty Kiew and me :)

Walking to the car

We walked back to Jonker's street after that for dinner. Most of the appetizing looking shops were already closing and it wasn't even 7.00pm so we went into the nearest one and just ordered what ever they had left.

And that's all for now :)

Starting Uni in another 3 or so weeks, haih such a mood-killer just thinking about it :(

Genting and Father's day

Just got back from Genting a few days ago :)

It was definitely one awesome trip that I'll remember for awhile :)

So I'll start from day one.

On Tuesday the 14th, all of us took express busses from our respective states to the Puduraya bus station in KL. The reason for this was so we wouldn't be all in a mess and scattered about when we reached Genting. Uma lives on the Eastern part of the Peninsula so he took a bus there directly cuz would be kinda silly for him to come all the way to KL and then make a U-turn back to Genting :P

By the time all of us were at the station, it was already 11.45 am. We bought a ticket for the 12.30 noon bus. Surprisingly, the bus was packed when we got on, not packed in a sense that there was little room left in it but in a sense that although it was a weekday like any other, all the seats were filled.

The trip was about an hour. We reached the lower Sky station at around 1.30 pm. From there, we walked for about 10 minutes to our near by hotel. We unpacked and rested til 3.30 pm. By then, Uma had arrived. We then began our walk to the station and took a cable car up :)

My shoes :)

Eating dinner at Burger King

Watching small kids play the arcade machines near BK, yeah we're a bunch of pedos :P

When we were up there, there was a 'Transformers' exhibition of sorts going on, which little boy(myself included :D ) wouldn't get excited !! :D

The big thing in the picture is 'Devastator' from Trans 2. I know it doesn't look big in the pic, but it was actually bigger than a computer monitor(not a flat screen one, the traditional box-shaped ones).

More toys :)

I sooooo wanted to buy one :( But they were relatively expensive :(

Bumblebeeeee :)

Bought a shirt there!! The inner child/nerd in me couldn't resist :D

Came with a freebie poster :)

There was also a balloon fair/exhibition going on as well :)

This was one of the biggest sculptures indoors. Notice the sign at the bottom, at the base if its tentacle/foot.

*poke*poke*

Taken at the Ripley's Believe It or Not counter :)

The next day, we woke up around 7-ish and had breakfast at the hotel. We took a shuttle bus to the lower skypark station then another to the upper one.

The view that greeted us when we arrived :)

We waited at the entrace of the theme park for Mel's cousin who got us a 50% discount on the tickets :)

Another one of the balloon sculptures :P

Met some other AIMST peopl there

I'll update this post with more pictures when I find them. Was too busy enjoying myself during the trip to take pics :)

I got back on Thursday and was extremely exhausted. Me and my family celebrated Father's Day on the following Friday night just for the sake of celebrating :)

It wasn't much, just bought a cake for my dad, hugged him and told him I loved him :)

But I could tell he was happy :)

Thats it for now :)

Just got back from hiking at Broga with Alex, Kel and Des so I'm a lil tired now :P Til next time den :)
