so let's go on to the trip. early sat mon at 6.22am, i woke up and prepared before dad drove us to lavender to catch the malacca-sin express bus. my sensitive nose was at work again - was sneezing the whole morning till i took some medi and slept on the bus. basically, it was clearing the customs and sleeping all the way till we reached malacca at abt 1+pm. Checked into the rm and went out shopping~ been to some places but didn't really take note of where did we go as i have a poor memory. lol. oh yah, went to have some famous popiah, shopped and got a pair of shoes which i liked. er jie gotten her cloths for lining. went for some famous prawn dumpling and porridge thingy which was superb. =D anyway, went back to hotel rm to bathe at 5+ cos we were all so sticky and decided to meet at abt 6.30pm. next stop up was makota parade~ wheee. shopping paradisee. gotten a pair of slippers to wear back in office at nose and only rm$15. such a steal! next stop was FOS and the prices there were still considered cheaper than in SIN. after all the shopping, went to have dinner at a nice little eatery selling handmade noodles, porridge, mee sua and fish soup. the food was delicious =D and before i forget to mention, all the barley i had there were not sweet at all. so i din't like the taste~
the last stop for the day was Jonker Walk, which is open on every Friday evenings, Saturday evenings and Sunday evenings from 6.00pm to 12.00 midnight. there were so many knick knacks there! gotten 3 pair of studs for rm$10. omg, it's the same price here, but the exchange rate makes it abt 50% cheaper? next was walking around the stretch of street. gotten some sticker pads and a replica lesportsac bag which my sisters helped to haggle the price down. *grins so happie k? we even saw a event - "malacca rising stars" where all the youngsters aged b/w 16 to 25 can take part. some of their voices were not too bad. er jie and i even saw smone who tikams in sin and set up a store there selling the gacha. how it happened was very funny lor. i was gesturing happily to my sis that i saw keroro. then she ignored my cos she was looking at some accessories from a store. so i just scanned the rest of the items and the guy just smiled and waved to me. which obviously in my mind i was thinking the guys is siao or he's waving to smone frm e opposite store. lol. bad of me. so ytd that, my sis finally responded to me and i told her abt the keroro and tt guy so she looked over too. heng my sis remembered who he was lor. haha. he told us he came back to his hometown to set up this store. which was fun too? hehe. anyway, we walked around after that and tapau-ed fried oyster back. walked all e way frm the end of the street to the front of the street and decided to hail a cab. heng we didn't wait for long. back at the hotel, sorted all the shopping and finally took some flu medi & zzz-ed ard 1am.
next morning, woke up ard 8+ and bathed. went out for wantan mee. not too bad yah. i liked the wantan. oh yah, a couple sat at a table outside the store and left w/o paying. omg, ugly people~ next stop was more of walking ard jonker street again, this time different things in the morn. gotten some pineapple tarts and coconut snacks. oh yah, they were tired so wanted to hail a cab. in the end, one group gotten a cab while my sisters and i didn't and had to walk along and tried to hail for cab. in the end, we took the public bus and darn scary experience lor!! cos i was the last to climb up the bus and the uncle drove off even before i was fully up the bus. and it was so jerky lor. i had problems holding on. the lady issuing bus tickets had the cheek to charge us $1.50 for only 2-3 stops? my sis asked her she finally she gave us the $0.80 tickets. maybe trying to cheat us yah. =x
walked to some place for nonya?/peranakan? food frm the hotel. not too bad but not really tt delicious. next stop was the new shopping centre opp makota. i bought 2 cute small boslters back~ and more FOS shopping. er jie got the most tees there yah. i managed to get a old navy skirt which in my opinion was quite nice~ after all the shopping, went back to hotel to pack & use toilet before we set off for the bus terminal. had alr called a taxi uncle to come and drive us thr beforehand so it was quite smooth. but the malacca-sin express bus back was not good lor. thr was no aircon and i was perspiring like siao. plus e the seat was faulty too. but anyway, managed to get all the way back to woodlands checkpoint and dad was thr to drive us home~ managed to catch the last episode of love story in harvard too~ happpie.
anyway, tt's the super long winded entry of my 1 day malacca trip. more entries to come soon =D
