Then's Musings

Mystique Malacca Day 2

continued from day 1….

teee..teee…sound of my alarm ringing…i must be in my dreams….again a sound..but a different one…tone of my hubby’s phone ringing…

i can hear very slow, my hubby talking to someone. After a while, as usual he is calling my name, Then..Then..Then…hmm…after much struggle with my sleep i am awaken with my hubby’s voice. Oh no, it is already 9am. So embarrassing, i told Ananthi i will be the first one to wake up:( looks like i’m the loser..sob!sob! nevermind, there will be always a next time…

After getting ready, we both headed to the Straits Meridian Hotel’s Restaurant for our breakfast. I could see many people there enjoying their breakfast. from far, i could see Ananthi, Guru and Prema having their breakfast..

Hmm..i can see Ananthi winking at me;) there was total silence…loser be quiet…

After taking our breakfast, four of us went back for a short nap, but end up talking non-stop. After a while Guru went missing. He must be sleeping. Ananthi and me were talking for quite long..sharing some girls talk…

After some time , she felt tired too. Maybe it’s because she’s talking to me;) hope not…

She went to her bed for a short nap…

what i want to do now? while i’m thinking, i could hear the phone ringing..the voice sounds familiar.. i gotcha Asohan…he trying to trick me…but he failed. He was reminding us to come to the lobby..actually he is looking for Ananthi. Since Ananthi is the treasurer, she must settle the hotel bill 🙂

After packing our things we went to the reception to check out. Around 1.30pm we managed to check out and went to Jonker Walk.

We parked our car at nearest point to the Christ Church. We managed to capture few pictures near the man made windmill. It was such a breathtaking sight at the windmill since there were some yellowish flowers planted around the windmill. Since the heat was burning our skin, we rushed to cross the busy street to go over to the Christ Church and The Stadthuys. Before climbing up The Stadthuys, we stopped by the ice cream man. To soothe our throats, we bought some ice cream…

We took about 2 hour to go around the Stadthuys Museum Complex which includes (History and Ethnography Museum, Literature Museum,Admiral Cheng Ho’s Gallery, The Governor’s Museum and The Museum of Government Democracy ). The visit was something like walking through my memory lane coz i visited this place while in primary school. The place looked the same but with different crowd 🙂 The breezy and cool wind make my feel relaxed. Wish i could stay longer…But then, I have a good feeling now, i will be back again soon.

We were climbing down the hill and went straight to enjoy the cendol by the Christ Church roadside. We enjoyed the cendol and headed for our lunch. We manage to find a shop that sell Chicken Rice Ball which is a famous dish in Malacca. After we enjoyed our lunch at Afamosa Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant, we left for KL. We reached KL around 8pm.

The trip was wonderful with the great buddies i had 🙂 Definitely i’m looking for another trip soon:)

Mystique Malacca Day 1

It has been 2 yrs since i visited this wonderful place. So this trip to Malacca is a much awaited chance to catch up with things in Malacca. At first, after our dinner at the hotel, myself, Poobalan, Ananthi and Guru decided to go to Jonker Walk. After much effort, Guru managed to find the way out to Jonker Walk. Since it is already 10.30pm, the crowd at Jonkers was lesser than usual. I was excited to come again to Jonker Walk. I was impatient to visit the shops, since i can see the sign of traders moving starting to pack their stuff. But at other hand, Ananthi and her hubby were like half-dead, walking and dragging themself along the Jonker walk..hahahah..hmm..they must be tired..but i was wondering why not me:) Maybe bcos i was saving my energy during the hunt..hahaah

Meanwhile, i couldn’t see the sight of my hubby. Oh no..where has he gone?..somebody abducted him? My legs were moving fast looking for hubby..oh there he was..taking some pictures of the beca…what a relief!!! After a long walk, we thought of resting our legs for a while. Ahhh, thank God we could see a small stall that was selling cold drinks, abc, ais kacang and mee kari..yummy..

Though i was full, i was tempted to try the mee kari. Without much hesitation, i called for a bowl of Mee Kari. It was yummy, but i could barely finish it. As usual, hubby controlled his diet and basically he was watching me slurrping the Mee kari;) hehehe…

Hmm, i could see Ananthi and Guru enjoying their ABC and cendol…

What else, time to return to hotel….all of us were damn tired…

We reached the hotel abt 1pm…Without much noise 4 us went to bed and were soon sound asleep:)

to be continued…day 2 …continue reading Day 2 or  meanwhile enjoy the pictures below:

Treasure hunt..hunt what?

after much persuasion from my hubby, i forced myself to take part in this activity. Maybe i’m too tired for last 3 months with my work. But thinking of being away from hubby for 2 days…hmm…ehem….no..no..:)

At first i thought of just being a free rider. But after seeing my team mates and the other teams, i got a bit of motivation to actively be involved in the hunt.

To my team mates Ananthi, Guru and Poobalan, thank you for your patience  with my relaxed attitude towards this competition…

I was amazed with my team mates on solving the first riddle…before i even start to think, Poobalan already had the answer..kudos to Poobalan..ehem..ehem my hubby of course 😉 The rest of the story, u can get it from Poobalan’s blog
