As planned, the car people met up with Hk at college by 8am... all ready with our luggage and excited hearts :D The entire journey to our destination (Sunny's house) was safe & smooth with only a little drizzle, except that Little John suddenly appeared in the car and said Hi.
-
Right after the toll, our traffic lights counter began, just because Sunny told us we'll at least pass by 10 traffic lights before reaching his house X) and true enough, there were a total of 14 traffic lights! saw as many as 5 wedding cars and a chicken as well~
-
-
it wasn't long before we finished walking around the mall, which caused us to be ahead of the itinerary Sunny prepared earlier X) so he decided to take us to The Jetty for a karaoke session~ it seemed quite quiet and isolated, but they actually provide buggy service.

With Hk's driving, we managed to reach at around 10am when we entered Taman Cheng (my surname!) Perdana... and spotted a beautiful double-storey house with a handsome guy there welcoming us X) then while waiting for Sunny's parents to return with the bus people, we played with the purple mahjong set, most of us didn't even know how to play actually!

we had a short rest and shifted our bags to Sunny's room before going for our breakfast - fish paste noodle with yong tau fu. it was nice but we kinda over ordered, without knowing that there would be a portion of fucuk given with every order. so that explains our bloated stomach...
-
-drove to Mahkota Parade after the very filling breakfast... the Christmas deco in the mall~ :)

look! the Eye on Malaysia and the area around it which is still under development... :D
-
first time singing with this combination of people, Shee Shum got a little high singing halo that poor Hb was harassed by him X) in that 2 hours... we had joy, we had fun~we had seasons in the sun~

-no idea when Zs took this picture but i like it! birdy resting peacefully on a wooden pole in the middle of the calm water... :)
-
found another wedding car~ pretty sure it was an auspicious day, by the end of the day we saw a total of 11 wedding cars, if i didn't remember wrongly. not bad at all! :D

went back to Mahkota Parade after that for Cendol to cool ourselves... the sun was being too warm & generous. a little too sweet but it tasted really good!
-
upon reaching our next stop, the Dataran Pahlawan, we took a slow and relaxing stroll around the place, under the scorching hot sun though X) amazed by the fact that they actually lifted the whole grassland and constructed shop lots underneath it... now it looks perfect, like it has never been touched before.

Dinner was indeed very special!! Sunny's parents brought us to a faraway place by a river for Ikan Bakar... the drive there seemed like forever with the countless traffic lights X) really thank you Uncle for bringing us there and for treating us that meal :)

-and we tried this... grapes dipped into some sugar solution, the sugar coating hardens after a while, wrapping the juicy grape in it :D
-jonker walk... oh, we also tried a drink, which is very much like bubble tea, except the pearls are replaced with bubbles that will burst in your mouth (that's how the person described it to us haha) well, they're called frog balls :D
-after exploring the very meriah jonker street, went walking around the place... very nice~ the lighting was beautiful, with the gentle breeze blowing... :)
-
this is a group picture, taken by three very friendly girls. they even made sure that everyone's face could be seen :)
-next was Eye on Malaysia which i was quite eager to try :D
the only good thing was, we expected 3 rounds, but ended up knowing we actually went 6 rounds X)
-
there were really not much to be viewed... besides the non-full moon, the very dark & black sea, roads with lights, the gondola next to ours, and to stare at each other XD
-
that's the moon~
that's the moon~
-three of us....
-and a group picture with the Ferris wheel :D
and so, our first day was very well spent, walking here and there, seeing this and that~went home, i mean Sunny's house, took turns to clean up and we played Uno!! i miss playing Uno now... :O
-
this is his brother's room, temporarily the girl's room ;)
-never thought Uno can be this fun lo XD Hb broke a record for holding more then 25 cards... then Denesh was even better.
when his turn came, he confidently said, "you think i don't have ar!" and the next second...
"eh, i really don't have o.o"
SRSly, rofl!! XD
-and we brought along our BBs (beruang-beruang = bear bear)... :P
had a good night sleep, thanks to the nice blanket and bed his mom prepared for us :)-

-after the hot adventure, Sunny brought us driving around the town, Melaka Raya... vroom vroom vroom... and we saw this! AMIGO restaurant! we actually passed by already, purposely made a u-turn back, just so we could take a picture of it XD
-[ then we continued driving around until we saw another object worth taking picture of... we were sooo excited when we saw it by the junction! immediately took out the camera and took a picture of it! but it shan't be revealed here, until Yanz accept us in Facebook. this picture can be found there btw :D ]

the airport...
-dinner was Satay Celup~ another famous food in Malacca...
-
we were quite thirsty that each ordered two cups of drink X)

-and when the sky turned dark, we went to the Portugal Settlement where we walked along the pavement by the sea side... it was quiet there, so you could hear the waves hitting the shore every now and then :)

excuse my expression in this picture X)

a place Little John might like... very eerie actually! that floating platform kept making a screeching sound each time it rubbed against the metal bars hooked to it.

-the very cute sunshade in Sunny's car. the new born dragon is trying to befriend a nerdy mole :D
-even later at night, we got to experience Malacca's mamak stall... this time, Sunny called around 7 of his secondary buddies out too. after we were introduced to each other, the night went on with us talking among ourselves and them busy catching up with one another X)
left at 12+... played a few rounds of Uno again before we went to bed :D-

Also, our last day at Malacca. woke up feeling a little sad, knowing that we'll have to leave after lunch. on the first day, it was as if we had too much time to spend; on the second day, time seemed to pass a lil faster; then came the third day already...

(i doubt you see any difference, Dai Pao's actually the one on the right)

hmm after breakfast, we made our way to Melaka Sentral to grab tickets for the bus people, or in other words, the BFFs Zs and D, a.k.a. the best camwhore partners! :D-
dropped by at a souvenir shop, Tan Kim Hock for some local stuff... bought a box of dodol. then we went to Jonker Street once again, to have one last walk... but we still failed to find some noodles Hh's mother wanted.
-
the bus tickets bought were for 3.30pm. ish, time seemed extremely precious out of a sudden. lunch was at a baba nyonya restaurant. a final meal together before saying goodbye...
-the kangkung was spicy! the dishes were kinda salty... oh, Kangkung's a famous vegetable in Malacca... we had it everyday throughout the 3 days :)
-after the meal, we quickly went back to pack our belongings as it was time to leave... Sunny fetched the bus people to the bus place while we left in Hk's car again, just like how we came. Aunty made us her very nice pineapple tarts before we left. can't thank her enough for welcoming us so warmly :) thanks a lot aunty...
-
journey back, managed to take picture of these u-turn shaped traffic lights! nice :)

during these three days, we've got the chance to know each other even better. i would consider it as 3 days worth of genuine happiness. spending almost every minute with them, i realized some extra little things from each of them, mostly good ones though :) on the way home itself, flashbacks of the moments we spent together were enough to make me smile. and i hope with this post, i can always remember everything that has happened throughout this stay at Malacca.
-
everyone is different, and each friend brings me a different kind of happiness~ :)
