Malacca!

gosh, I realised I haven't updated for quite a little while. mainly because I'm lazy and I'm tired after work these few days. =)

just came back from Malacca last night and it was so enriching and fun. unfortunately the excitement that's usually felt before a trip was dampened by my worries about uni applications. =( can't stand the suspense, I really hope that very soon I'll know where I'm headed to.

anyway, enough of it.
pictures galore!

DAY 1:

the queue of people waiting to pass through customs was shockingly long. all because it's a long weekend. -.-

on the coach, on the way to malacca.

the journey from the checkpoints to malacca was 3 hours, but it was much longer because of the terrible traffic jam. I think I slept for at least half the journey. hahaha.

our first stop. nyonya lunch! =) the food was pretty good.

I went with my dad's cell group. these were the people who went on the trip, not the whole cell group went.

next stop: bee farm!

those dark coloured spots are LIVE bees. kind of disturbing actually.

arrays of honey

yes, I know my fringe looks kind of weird here. =\

anyone not afraid of heights? this is worth a try. though I didn't go up cos there were too many people already.

this guy's caricatures are really amazing. he could draw them for people in under 10-15 minutes. =O

our hotel

hotel lobby

hotel bar. and nice grand piano. =D

it was off to jonker walk at night. it's kind of like chinatown and the crowd squeezing was terrible. it doesn't help that the weather lately is blistering hot. =\

cute puppies!

boxing match in progress.

this bottle reminds me of breezer. it's actually sparkling apple juice.

sushi. =)

this caricature is really hilarious. especially the ones depicting ronaldinho and arsene wenger LOL.

DAY 2:
my dad got up at 4.30(!!!) and he thought it was already 5.30. he got me up at 6.20 and I was kind of irritable because it was still early and I wanted my sleep. and we ended up being the first to reach the hotel restaurant for breakfast. I swear my dad's damn kiasu. -.- but the breakfast was good! =D

my dad can't wait to tuck into the hotel breakfast. LOL.

cereal dispenser. quite unique actually! =)

breakfast buffet! yum. =D

wasted I didn't bring my swimsuit! the weather's best for swimming and getting sunburnt. =D

with my dad's sunglasses. hahaha.

we went to this nyonya museum. amazingly rich culture about the babas and nyonyas. only managed to sneak these 2 shots because they don't allow photography inside -.-

the way the nyonya kueh was prepared in this place is actually kind of unhygienic, so needless to say my dad and I didn't buy anything at all for fear of stomach upset.

newton food centre, where we had lunch. and heard a fight going on outside the place. scary.

my dad with that huge lollipop HAHAHA.

ice cream's the best in the blistering weather. =)

that's about all, the rest are on facebook. tired of uploading already.
