Malacca once more

The 2nd day of Malacca started with goodbyes said to Gerald. It was pretty tough as chances to meet him before CNY equals to zero percent. After a pretty whacked up group photo session, we went walking around the historical areas of Malacca city. Just was suffering from stomachache of some unidentified causes. We made our slow journey and managed to meet up with the group somehow.

To mention what happened will bore my fingers as they type so I'll just list the basics. We visited the gateway of A Famosa & a museum displaying Final Fantasy's sword, climbed St. Paul's Hill, went down to the Red House areas, visited dead Dutch people, burnt our human motherboard and memory space as we wandered past 'Yellow Mansion', 'Capitol' and endless Indian shops and finally reached Tan Kim Hock (some famous local products' shop) to scatter for lunch.

Clingy ones did their act but lunch was with Just, ZhenZhen, Zenn Ge, Loukung, Family Pet, Just's Photo BF. We bumped at a 'customer service 0%' shop with very cheap and pretty good food. Despite being dried up like a 'semboi' (ewwwwwww), we somehow managed to meet up with the rest of group at Tan Kim Hock and later in the bus. I am seriously amazed our heat tolerance being students from MSC, the college well known for super air-conditioner being as cold as the freezer.

Somehow after a few turns around the city, we reached the Butterfly Park. Rain was approaching so our butterfly friends ran away. Was a bit disappointed. I did take pictures of cutie otters after escaping from some endless eekie snake routes! Love birds cheered me up with their adorable antics as I clicked. Minor goodbyes were said before returning to the polluted place we call home.

So there. I've finished writing about my Malacca trip. I had lots of fun and lots of things to grumble about. Such a bliss.. :) Was good hanging out with lots of friends for 2 whole days!!!


FYI, 2nd day of Malacca = September 29th, 2005
