Malacca Trip

Aha!!! So I'd said I will upload photos of my trips... normally I would be too lazy, but since I'm not going out temporarily, the reason being I have a TERRIBLE complexion now....ugh.... (*not thinking about it*....ugh...pisses me off...ugh) Right.... so I've tried to arrange the photos in sequence from the first place I visited to the last, there are of course other photos taken in between but I'd just uploaded the important ones so u get the gist of it....*lazy...lazy....* heheh XD

First place we visited was Malaysia's biggest ferris wheel - Eye on Malaysia.... pretty, ain't it?

Yikes..I look hideous in this photo, but just thought I showed you how it was like in the little cabin... XD

Next day, first thing in the morning, we went for a morning walk at a place called Tun Fatimah Stadium and then we climbed St. John's hill (which was just a slope btw...haha) and at the top there was this fort complete with canons

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....

I like this photo...view of the old church....

The walls of the old church....

Those stone tablets on the side walls are tomb stones.... they are really pretty....
At the back of the church was this coffin/cage thing....

Taken at one of the huge church windows.....

Me, with the tomb stones.....

After that, we descended the hill, and if you can see below, it's the A Famaso Fortress....

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...

This was taking from the top of the tower... this is Dataran Pahlawan.... I *think* (see, I'm losing my memory....) it's the shopping mall we hung out at for the air-con after the hot, hot weather.... XD

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????
Ah~...okie...that's it for Malacca, we only hung out in the town area, and I didnt even go to the Portuguese Settlement... but really want to thank my seniors (who were local Malaccans) who brought us around.... maybe someday I will go back to visit the outskirts.... =)

My Hols...

Hey people...quite some time since my last blog.. anyway, holidays started and I'm currently back in KK...just came back from climbing Mount Kinabalu, which was such a disappointment because we didn't get to climb to the summit because it was tooooooo windy.... strong enough to blow me away...haha...but Mount Kinabalu was magnificent, huge and intimidating, but looks like I've gotta go another time to conquer this mountain....who wants to go with me next time?? XD

Before I came back to KK, I had a 2 day trip to Malacca... really liked it - historical sites are my favourite; besides that, we also went to Eye on Malaysia (which is this huge ferris wheel), Jonker street, and ate a lot of food... haha....anyway, I'll try to upload some photos next time (provided I'm not too lazy...XD)

Anyway, some of my results are out... B+ for tort and contract... looks like I'm just the average B+ student.... oh well, I don't want to be upset about stuff like that, I've done my best... B+ ain't that bad right??? haha

Okay, I'll try to update some photos from my trip to Malacca and Mt. Kinabalu next time...
