Malacca (14 feb) + Port Dickson (21 feb)
Malacca (Pics)
Valentines day was spent in Malacca, we left singapore at about 11am and reached there about 3 hours later. Just driving up via second link cost us $25 sgd and thats just the singapore custom and the tolls... Plus about 30litres of petrol... Anyway, when we reached malacca, we went to the wrong shopping mall... We didn't really do any research, just went by memory, gut feeling and GPS... Haha!! Anyway, had lunch at MarryBrown and drove to equatorial hotel... I recalled that the shopping area is near that hotel...
When we were there, we spent another 30min jus finding for carpark... We parked at this ulu space along this street not too far from the hotel in the end... We went to both shopping mall, bought coffee and oxy and some keropok for my aunt... (DIE, its still with me!!) We walked back to our car, just to check that it is still there, and walked to Jonker Walk where we took many pictures and ate the Famosa Chicken Rice Ball for dinner/supper... We also bought 2 little pictures to decorate our room with... Our only regret was that we ate too full to have the Chendol~!
Malacca was fun! but traffic there was horrendous... The number of cars vs the number of ppl, somehow doesn't seem to add up! Haha! Many cars, but not alot of ppl...

Our Anniversary was spent in Port Dickson, a nice little place with beautiful beach and sunset. It is slightly further than malacca, so u can imagine how much we spent on toll this time... Haha! We "planned" the trip that very morning, we knew we wanted to spend our anniversary there, but we couldn't decide on where... We left our place at about 2pm, and arrived at Port Dickson, Eagle Ranch about 4 hours later. Wanted to book a room there, but it was full house... So we continued to drive to the main Port Dickson area where the beach is...
We stayed at The Regency, 287.50rm. It was a 1 bedroom apartment, facing the sea. Really cosy and comfy. It was a last min choice, and we were too lazy to check out other resorts/hotels... (althou i really wanted to take a look at bayu beach resort... shld be cheaper there...) By the time we checked in, it was near to 7pm already... We drove to a night market and bought all the different kinds of food and drinks and went back to the hotel to eat... Some tasted really good, others only so-so... But it was fun anyway!
After that, we took a night stroll along the beach. It was low tide, and the water level was really low. The light were quite dim, so we couldn't really see the little crabs crawling around. It was cute, seeing some kids running around with their torch lights, trying to catch some of the crabs.
Next morning (actual anniversary), we started the day with breakfast by the beach, i had nasi lemak and nik had chocolate cake. Both tasted REALLY GOOD!! Haha~! Then we went to the beach and enjoyed the morning dip. The "slope" is really gentle... I walked like easily 20 metres and the water level is only waist deep. I was talking about how i have always avoided cutting myself in the water, but soon after, i stepped on something that cut my big toe! I didn't want to know what that something was, and quickly jumped away from that area. We ended up sitting where the waves crashed in and enjoyed watching the horizon there... Wanted to try the banana boat, but didn't have time... Gotta check out at 12pm...
After checking out, we went to Lukut where we had the famous Lucky King Bun. The bun was super soft and buttery and with chicken curry, this dish is definitely a match, made in heaven... Okay, maybe i'm exaggerating a little, but its really good... If u are going to P.D, be sure to go there.
After having lunch, we ventured into the only shopping mall in P.D and it was pretty sad... It was The Store... Very empty, nothing much to see.... Not wanting to end our day like that, we decided to go K.L. We went to KLCC but the things there was too expensive for us... Kinda boring coz its very much like what we have in Singapore... So we went to Berjaya Times Square. The layout is pretty funny there. From Level LG to 1, its like wisma and takashimaya, but from that upwards, its like queenstown and lucky plaza combined... Was tempted to have some fun in the indoor theme park, but couldn't muster any courage to take the rides... Haha!! We ended our day with some grilled bread and dessert, and a 4 hour drive in the rain, back to singapore. Somehow, we always spent less time going home than travelling there...
Regrets? Forgot to bring my camera... But took quite a few with our phones. Will upload them soon!! :)
I hope i didn't miss out anything! Thanks for the trip dearie! I really enjoyed myself, even thou i seem to have became stupid after the trip... Haha!! Muacks!
Back to Reality!
