Melaka getaway!
[This post would be divided into three parts as I think there's some limit to bloggerpress on iPhone-.-]
1st may, labor day, a public holiday, a Saturday. This day maybe a rather random, redundant holiday for many poly students as this holiday falls on a Saturday and therefore no difference to them. But for me, I thank God for this holiday. It allowed my family and my paternal grandma to go on a short trip to Melaka(:
Without further ado, let me present to you my short getaway!
1st may, day one..
We went by car and it was about a 4 hr ride. Including a breakfast break in the middle.
Shuai qi daddy on wheels~ wheewuwee!!
Out first station, Stadhuys, a museum which we didn't enter heh!
Chio sissy and me!
The first thing that fascinated me. Hahas... Flowerly bling bling trishaw! Hahas!! And these very same trishaw are illuminated at night, contributing to the night scenary(:
We then climb the stairs about three floors higher to see the ruins of an abandoned church. On the way up, we saw
The bird eye view of the place
The pirate ship afar off
Some 'cottage' looking red house. Kinda like this kinda house hahas...
The revolvng tower, which is...
Only this small from where I was!
At the church!! Hahas..
Awesome dad and mum!!
In the church,
Paternal grandma and me!(:
I like the ruins of the church. Not exactly in the meaning of like things to be ruin. However, it was definitely an experience which you cannot find in Singapore. In addition, they had a multi-talented busker. Multi talented in the many language he was proficient with. Just a short span of 10mins at the church, I heard him sing in English, Malay, Chinese, Cantonese and Hokkien! Whaowee~! hahas.
Guess who are we??....
It's my didi and meeee!! Hahahas!
We then went down to visit some of the display.
Chu chu~~
Cute-ness!
Next display,
Aeroplane!!!
Randomly damn cute!
Hehes!
Canon ball!
What beats this weather?
WASHING DOWN THE HEAT WITH A CAN OF 100PLUS! wheee~~
We then went shopping at a nearby shopping mall(: however, it wasn't our plan to shop that day so it was a very brief one. I only bought one thing. Stay tune to find out!
Cam-whoring session!
Hehes! Playing with a RM5 fan! Lol. Childish! Hehe!
Ji-lian-ing while waiting for mummy to show daddy her pants! Lol.
I then cam-whored with my sibs!
There's more! Heh!
Bimbotic! Lol.
And my only loot? The sunglasses I was wearing for only RM19.90! cheap max!
We then went to a restaurant selling peranakan cuisine. It's called makko restaurant. Really famous in Melaka(:
We met my Dad's younger bro BY CHANCE! hahas... He was also in Melaka on an incentive trip I guess. Hahas. He was staying in holiday inn! The hotel
Daddy wanted to book but there was no more rooms!
Peranakan cuisine is great! This opportunity allowed me to have a try of food 'little nonya' cast had hahas! Yupps! The food was a little like Chinese food yet tasted like Malay food! While, that's peranakan for you!
After the meal, we proceeded to out hotel, Beauford Hotel. A nice, decent place(:
The outside which looks more like a bridal boutique than a hotel lol.
Inside the family suite there was two rooms and a living room
The bedroom
The living room
Wall-mounted plasma tv
And lastly,
A jacuzzi! Yes A JACUZZI! hahas... It was awesome! Big enough to accomodate two but sissy say it wasn't big enough for her-.-
Although there were some hiccups in getting the hotel room, I thank God for His grace to provide us with one, and a family suite somemore! Thank God that the owner, uncle David (coincidentally have the same name as daddy) was gracious enough to let us have that room(:
