I'm Back from Malacca!

Yeap, Back!

The history of Malacca is considered to be quite confusing! It was governed by Portugal and Britain before and the "ownership" of the city was passed, exchanged and finally returned to Malaysia, then Malaya. The place is greatly influenced by the western and chinese culture, with many churches and temples everywhere.

On day 1, we reached Malacca at about 7pm, checked in and went for dinner! Ate at Kenny Rogers and did a little shopping. Went back to the hotel after that to chill and rest for a supposedly long day for day 2.

On day 2, we woke up early for the breakfast buffet that was so great and hurried to the buses for a city tour. Visited several tourist attractions, mainly historical sites, and had their famous durian chendol~ From 9am to 12pm, we were moving from place to place and ended with lunch at Ole Sayang. The lunch there was very good 10 years ago, according to my uncle. Now, its not so great, didn't enjoy my lunch at all. After lunch, we went back to the hotel, rest a little and its shopping time. And obviously i spent most of my money on stuffs for adrian and his family and my sis~
At bout 6pm, its time for my uncle's company dinner. The MC is hilariously, irritatingly stupid lah! Quite gay and mad! But he managed to entertain the majority of the crowd. As a tradition of the company, every staff will go home with a prize ranging from $200 cash voucher to 26 inch LCD tv with $600 cash voucher. Well, everyone except my uncle. So the lucky draw session is exceptionally boring for me. But the food was fantastic! Its really good lah~
After the whole dinner thingy, we went to the nite bazaar or the pasar malam. The journey to the place should be very easy and fast but we ended up getting lost and took a long time becoz the road we were supposed to take had a temporary lights out. And since it was very dark and scary, we didn't take that road! Hahahaa!! Nothing that interest me at that place too~

On day 3, we skipped the buffet breakfast and woke up onli at bout 10am~ checked out of the hotel and went for lunch and more shopping! Again, i didn't buy anything for myself~ Hahaha!! Travelled all the way back to Singapore and experienced 3 different car accidents on the same stretch of highway, within minutes of each other... Wow~

The hotel we stayed is the best in Malacca. Hotel Equatorial... The whole event cost the company about 53k~ The prizes should be included in that amount ba~

Phew... After blogging for so much, i'm finally tired~ Hahaha!!

What a holiday~
