Yikes..I look hideous in this photo, but just thought I showed you how it was like in the little cabin... XD
Next is the famous Jonker Street, just that we made the unusual "day trip" (people usually go at night, where the atmosphere is much more 热闹)...Ah~ anyway, I just wanted to see the place..
Somewhere on Jonker Street.... we were told that the main difference between the daytime street and the nighttime street is that the shops put up stalls at night like pasar malam, other than that they sell the same things....
Then, we crossed this bridge, which I *think* is the Malacca River.... it was all built up and really pretty along the banks...
Erm...I don't know what is this actually... I mean I know it is a windmill (albeit a fake one), but I do not know it's significance in this scene... probably just tourist attraction....
Then across the street from the fake windmill we have the Red House thing.... which I dunno what's it's proper name... bler...:p... you get it... the Red House thingy...lol
The pretty (gosh, I have to STOP using this word, I sound like a little girl) fountain....
Taken at the entrance of the Red House....
We were going to visit the Tombs and the A Famosa Fortress....
This picture was meant to look like we were all having a good time, sitting on the grass, enjoying the "cool weather", not unlike one of those photos you can find in overseas universities' prospectuses....haha...but I guess the umbrella gave us away... it was freaking HOT....
This is better...in the shade....
Taken at one of the huge church windows.....
Me, with the tomb stones.....
There is it..... Kota A Famosa....
Next, we went to take a ride in the Manara Taming Sari, which is a tower which goes to the top spins around a few rounds (slowly lar.....), so tourists can see the view...
After that, we visited this place where there were all these models of trains and aeroplanes... forgot what else was there.... this was before we head off to eat Satay Celup...Now for food.....
Cendol....but I still think Penang's cendol is nicer....XP
Chicken rice ball.... actually it's just the rice ball that's special.....haha
We also went to eat cake at this shop (which name I have forgotten) where they make cakes that have A LOT of layers... I would probably have enjoyed it a lot more if I knew how to appreciate cheese...apparently you can only find it in Malacca, it made me think of Veda Blu in Sabah, probably it's a local thing????
