Shall post the long passed Malacca Trip
We set off bright and early at...6.30am! LOL, it's so early that even the birds aren't out flying yet can? Headed towards second link and zoom passed the customs quite briskly cause there's not much people there. Then from there headed straight for Malacca. Reached there at 10.30am or something similar.
First Stop
Some coffee shop owner that has healing power! Ok sounds weird but true. It's not really miracle I would say actually. The old man actually uses needles(those you use in Home Econs but finer and cheaper) and thread it with a red thread and tie a knot at the end. Then from the back of your ear, he would yes, PIERCE through your ear and out it goes. It's not like sewing where your end of the thread stays to the cloth. The man actually pulls it out of your ear and you can hear the "tat" sound. Of course I didn't do it but my mum and her friend tried it and said that it really works. The tour guide said" Woah! Really works leh, not some bullshit!" and my mum said" Eh, 不痛 leh, 你们 try it 下 leh!" Anyway took 30 mins for the entire 40 aunties and uncles to finish their turn.
Second Stop
Lunch at some Peranakan Restaurant. Food's pretty good and for the big finale, we had chendol. A tad too sweet for me though.
Third Stop
Went to a shopping center to shop for an hour. Surprisingly, I can still remember parts of Malacca from my last trip there with the school when I am P6. FYI the shopping center is near the hotel we stayed in the last time. Nothing to buy there cause there's nothing to buy there.
Fourth Stop
Jonkers Walk or Jonkers Street. Can't really remember it. It's really nice and quaint there. I mean what else it's Malaysia's oldest street. Lot's of Nonya shophouses there with make shift souvenir shops, chicken rice stall and lots of souvenir shops that sells portable fans and some other toys. Bought the famous Pineapple tarts and other local foodstuffs. Then I got lost from my family and wandered around aimlessly trying in vain to find them. End up they were like eating Nonya and Penang Laksa and Chendol somewhere deep inside a shop which I had walked past 3 times till my mum's friend said the they are inside. ZZZ...I then had laksa and durian chendol.
No More Stops
Headed for Kulai for dinner before going back to Singapore. Along the way there was a huge jam cause some car crashed into one another probably because it was raining cats and dogs. So for the 2-3 hours to Kulai and the 4 hours to Malacca I was stuck with my mum's wanna be singing stars.

Yes they had a karoke session in the bus while I was trying to drown their voices with songs but to no avail for they were loud.
Anyway the reason why I didn't post this post earlier was that I had a terrible diarrhoea for 3 days (and counting). Plus it's not me alone, even my parents had diarrhoea as well. FYI going to watch Wall-E tommorrow at JE!
Post Pictures
Some sea scene while on the bridge heading for Malaysia
Totally Random
It's really a uncle hor. What I heard was that his mother taught the man the skills. So the namecard is probably left over when his mother passed away.
The Ancient Church. Built in the 19th or 20th Century. Took this while waiting for the uncles and aunties to finish their treatment. The church is opposite the coffee shop btw.
The famous red buildings.
Must be newly added. Didn't see this the last time.
It's time for Sayang Sayang! Had Lunch here
The shop that we had chendol and laksa is filled to the brim with antiques.
The Straits of Malacca. I didn't know we can actually see the Straits leh...Ok being lame here
Anyway won't be posting any sooner cause there's tonnes of Maths Homework and English Homework and Geography Homework. To be exact 3 EOY Maths Paper, 1 English Book Review and 1 Movie Review and 1 sheet of Geography Practise Paper and who can forget Art? Painting our face this time. FYI my father got his iPhone.
