1 day trip to Malacca

Went for 1 day trip to Malacca organised by RC. Cost per person $65..inclusive of transport, 3 meals, insurance, tips..considered cheap le ba..and somemore the departure and arrival place is juz my blk downstairs! so convenient~.. hee.. Maybe is Mother's day and the trip poster stated suckling pig as one of the dishes.. tats y so many pple signed up for it ba..

wakie ard 515am.. setting off at 6am.. 3 BIG buses from my area RC.. tats alot lor..and mostly are aunties, ah ma...but at least i'm the youngest.. hahaa..managed to get seats for ourselves..while our leader passes us our 'mini' snacks (pandan cake, some sweets).. Was a cooling morning, as drizzling along our way to Tuas..oh ya, almost forgot one irritating incident.. while waitg for my passport to be stamped at XX side, haiz.. my queue there is a chaos..is like.. 3 queues to a station.. and aunties juz squeeue their way.. damn fedup..and the stupid guy took so long to 'entertain' one person.. i fedup until i go and monitor hw long he took! one person 1.5 mins!! wat the.. duno wat he doing! touch here n there, see here n there.. while other already can finish 3pple liao.. damn irritating.. this kind of service + this kind of queue.. totally spoil my mood.. my face was BLACK! HAIZ.. wat an incident to start my trip..

1st stop to Yong Peng for our breakfast.. den realised.. this trip consists of 13 buses~ each bus can occupied 44 pple.. can u imagine tat total num of pple? maybe is juz Mother's Day activity ba.. too many pple also no gd, waste time.. haha.. Well, breakfast was great~ ate at Hock Hwa Restaurant..had rice in lotus leaf, hong zao ji, kou rou bao and fried mee..


Next, we went to Yoyo Native Food Products at Yong Peng, Johor.. they sell quite a lot of things such as chilli sauce, curry sauce, coffee mix, biscuits, noodles, etc.. and my 1st time saw mee sua in so many types.. juz like the num of types the handmade noodles can be~.. tot mee sua only in a shape of thin thin stripes.. haha..


and Guess wats next~.. is LUNCH time.. yaa.. is like.. i juz had my breakfast!! haha.. while waitg for bus to park properly, some pig skins are suntanning outside the restaurant.. haha..woo.. will be having suckling pig~ eating at Lin Zhen Pan Restaurant at Malacca.. We had 'cold' dish, rice in lotus leaf again, white promphet fish tat only lasted for 3 mins, suckling pig that left only teeth!!, mushroom with veg, cereal prawns, duck that i only ate a SMALL PIECE!! (thanks to the REST of the pple, haiz.. they juz happily take a big piece, without caring if other pple stil hv anot? juz cos they BIG size, and noe each other, so my family of small size lugi.. unfair), yam paste.. so nxt tm i shall fight for my share and family's one also liao, since they dun even care for table manners..




After tat, shopping under a BRIGHT HOT sun.. went to Chinatown? near the famous Red Buildings there..Went to Bibik House for handmade pineapple tarts.. nt bad.. fREsh from Oven.. went to Temple for praying..den walk along near Temple Street there.. a lot of ancient things selling there.. but.. dun realy gt mood to walk tat slow.. really hot..din even stop for famous chengdol.. haha..


Next we went to Melaka MegaMall Dataran Pahlawan.. is really MEGA! went to San Shu Gong shop..bought their peanut biscuit, those honey sour plums syrup.. haha.. yummy..went walk walk inside Mega.. of cos within 45 mins in tis MEGA building is impossible..we juz try our luck to find supermarket Carrefour, to see if selling any avacado.. walk here there turn here there according to direction, and yet stil haven reach~ and finally!. only left like.. 10mins left~!.. and.. wat we saw is nth.. wasted our time.. and gona rush bk to the waitg pt.. thinkg gt same size as vivo anot? hmm..

Head to Ecolite Biotech Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. for bird nest.. paid 20ringgits for one bottle (for immediate drink) and paid another 48ringgits for 2 boxes (4 bottles in each box) .. which is much more cheaper? Sunset time.. and nw.. heading for Dinner~... the most wasted dinner moment..

Cos of Mother's Day.. plus so many RCs organised trip, the tour agency has a lucky draw for all of us.. lucky draw is okie.. juz tat the food serving is TOO SLOW! can realy totally digested the previous food and wait for the next one.. we spent our time in this restuarant from 7pm to 11pm.. i need to work tml~ and 11pm.. stil in malacca!.. =S is like.. having wedding dinner with few waiters and waitresses.. all over the places.. my dinner: cold dish, shark fins, yam bowl, fried fish, cereal prawns, roasted duck, mango pudding.. nt enuff food (cos of wat reason, dun wan to say so much + squeezy when pple has plenty of space.. haiz..) ya.. tis post i only complain more during meal time.. nw i think of it, also angry.. haiz..


and finally end of the dinner.. went down and find our bus~ goNe~~ all buses gone..and we stil there with another bus group.. 2 groups were left behind cos their bus drivers went pump oil~ and driver A accompany driver B to go pump oil~.. haiz.. oh ya.. tat restuarant name.. Guang Ji Restaurant.. and glad tat our bus driver is fast.. zoom all the way despite we r the last to leave the restuarant area.. reached home ard.. 1245am.. phew.. tired.. zzzz......
