Historical City of Malacca - Epic Moments

It had been long since last I went to Malacca. When I was 7 years old! And now, it had been almost 15 years since Malacca had been developed into a more attractive place. I wanted to go there very badly when my family, excluding me, went to Malacca last year. I couldn't follow them because I had something to settle at home...huhu

Yep...was really sad but there was nothing i could do. Plus, I'm a big sister. So, I have to take over some responsibilities when my mom went 'outstation' hehehe...

Well, FINALLY! I did have the opportunity to go there with 3 other girl-friends on a very fine Friday morning! Our journey started in Shah Alam and to go to Malacca, we moved as early as 6.30 a.m.! BUT we didn't mind because we were...ops, I WAS EXCITED! hahahaha...

Arrived there at about 9 a.m. Two other friends had another work to do. So, we got separated. 2 by 2 went on different ways. Firstly, I was quite happy because there were not too many people there as it was still very early in the morning. So, we happily snap some shots....

-In front of Laksamana Cheng Ho Museum-

Guess what? Laksamana Cheng Ho's height was about 6 ft!

-The Dutch windmill-

Then, we started to walk around in the search of the famous architecture shown in History textbook. Well, I couldn't remember this place exactly and we had trouble to find our way BUT we managed to arrive in no time...

-This is the famous gate left-

-Upper hill shot-

-I was amazed seeing the old wall hahaha-

-My career as a one-day-model just started-

-One of the cannons exhibited there-

-Malacca is developed very well-

-I don't have breakfast yet. Is there any restaurant?-

-We found this bas-relief on our way to search for food-

-Looking real...-

-There's more inside the mall!-

-This time it is surrounded by a clear pool-

-That is an illustration when Parameswara saw a mouse deer kicking his dogs-

-Just posing-

-We wanted to go to Ship Museum but we didn't know where. SO, we decided to rent a trishaw-

Trishaws there played songs very loudly and for me it was very unique because the environment became cheerful with all varieties of songs played by them. And our trishaw played a Hindustan song and it really felt we were in a Hindustan movie while sitting on it...hahaha

-Among the ship models-

-The entrance-

This place was very near from the place we took the trishaw. hahaha...what a funny thing we did...felt our money wasted but then, actually it was worth it...

-Let's sail, yeehaa!-

-Oh, Hang Tuah! It has been long since we met...-

-What's that? Watermill? Guess so...-

This time, tired already because we had been walking and walking, and snatching pictures... My camera ran out of battery already...Luckily my friend got a phone that can snatch pictures...

-Modeling isn't my career path haha-

-Nice background-

-The street was getting busy and crowded when it was afternoon.-

Felt that nothing left to do anymore...but then, we decided to go on a cruise boat. It was only RM10! Just pay for the experience, buddy!

-Cruise boat! Satisfied!-

After that, we could see that there were so many places that we didn't explore yet! The places that we saw while cruising on the boat! We decided to continue our journey by walking alongside the river!

-A house beside the river.-

-Walking beside the water was very calming...-

-I love it here! Nice view...-

There were many beautiful bridges built there...amazed to see them.

-One of the beautiful bridges-

One more thing that really attracted my attention was that there were so many illustrations and paintings on the wall of the buildings alongside the river! Beautiful!

-Nice illustration on the wall-

-This one really startled me! Looking so real!-

-And another one...magnificent!-

-Running running as fast as we can...-

Finally, late in the evening, it was my friend's turn to run out of battery. So, we stopped snatching pictures and made our way home. We met the other 2 girls and we had dinner. Arrived back at Shah Alam by 12 a.m. Traffic jam...

Once Upon a Time on Genting Highland

It had been such a long time since I dreamed of going to this place called Genting Highland. And, it had also been long since I planned with friends to go there BUT still we failed to do that. There had been many excuses I heard when we were planning and because of that, still, I did not have the opportunity to feel the air there, even after my CONVOCATION!

However, one day, thank God, FINALLY... I really had the opportunity to go there! And this time, without any further planning...anymore! Thanks to miss Najah, once again...because of her, Genting Highland has become real for me!

I was really EXCITED to go to this highland although there were only two of us, me and Najah! What can I say, hehehe... Well, we could not wait for others anymore because of what we had faced before. So, we decided to just GO and HAVE FUN! Plus, we went on Tuesday which was not convenient for others to follow us.

I was quite surprised upon arriving there BECAUSE the weather was quite COLD. But, I thought maybe it was normal because it was still early in the morning. We arrived there by 9.30 a.m. So, we just waited for the outdoor entrance to open at 10 a.m. and we just walked around searching for rides that were available. As you can see, there was thick FOG around in the pictures.

Felt like I was in another fantasy world called ALICE IN WONDERLAND! hehehe... The weather was classified as bad weather. Thus, all rides that were regarded as risky were not open at all BECAUSE it might be dangerous for the riders, you know.

We thought maybe by noon, the sun will rise and shine... BUT the reverse happened! The weather was getting worse and there were only very few rides open and we got bored. Plus, we were VERY COLD and hungry all the time even we ate a lot!

So, we decided to just WALK around the place and we found DINOSAURLAND.

-This is the entrance to Dinosaurland-

-It was really COLD but still I acted as if nothing happened-

-Can you see the FREEZING COLD wind blowing??-

-I had never felt such this COLD weather before... that my hands and feet became numb-

-There was no use of waiting for rides especially Roller Coaster to open, anymore, because the weather did not change-

-This bus was like showing to me how would it feel if you were in London-

-We ate 5 times on that highland only because we needed energy to heat ourselves-

-There was nothing to do except looking at the hibernating ride-

-I'm telling you, the food there was super expensive BUT still we needed it especially HOT FOOD!-

-Look behind me, the fog never left us!-

-This is called Flying Jumbo and we rode on it 4 times! hahahaha...-

-This chair will spin you high above the roof and will make you feel throwing up-

Only after riding this Pirate Ship that was opened at 4.30 p.m., then, we knew we would shiver badly because the weather was so COLD. So, we knew the situation would be WORSE if other rides like Roller Coaster were open.

-I enjoyed meeting Dinosaurs on the "Land that Time Forgot"-

-The scenery back there was just like a large beautiful painting and BELIEVE ME, it was freezing COLD that I believe the temperature was about 10 degree Celcius!-

Although there were MANY rides closed, I really enjoyed my time there BECAUSE at least, I finally went to this place called Genting Highland and I could also experience such weather which of course, I do not know when will I ever encounter it again unless I go to overseas...

Mid Valley + KLCC + 2 Best Friendzzzz!

Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking...that I love to hang out?? hehehe... Well, I have to admit that lately, I really LOVE to go out and MEET my old friendzzz... I don't know why I am like this but I just feel that I have to meet them now BECAUSE I think maybe in the future, I won't get such opportunity ever again. Who knows, right?

I have these two FRIENDS that I really regard them as my OWN SISTERS because sometimes, I can seek their advice and I can ventilate what I feel... and I think they can give mature opinions, you know. [Well, for other friends, I'll write stories about you later, okay?] Who are they? They are IZAH and INA!

Well, both of them are EMPLOYED. So, it's quite hard to meet them because they are somewhat WORKAHOLIC to me, hehehe...sorry to say that, just kidding... BUT the truth is, it's quite hard to find a date that all THREE of us could be together because Izah is always busy [even until now]... AND FINALLY we have the opportunity to meet last Chinese New Year!

Of course I'd love to show my pictures with them! At first, me and Ina went to Mid Valley because we were going to the IT Fair and meet Izah there. While waiting for Izah, we snapped a few pictures showing a decoration for CNY. [Other decorations are shown in the Mid-Valley Special Post].

-This place is in front of MPH Bookstore-

-Gong Xi Fa Cai-

Mid Valley had such a lot of people coming in and out that day. I guess maybe because there were sales here and there and maybe Chinese people were buying stuff to celebrate their CNY. And not forgetting other races who also took the opportunity to shop for less prices! Well everyone, this is 1 Malaysia! hehehe...

We wanted to get out of the hustle bustle. So, we decided to move from Mid Valley to KLCC. The decorations there were also stunning! But, I've edited all the pictures, maybe you can't see clearly the decorations BUT the important thing is I want to show my friendzz...

-Ina with her LoVe-

-Izah who always listened to my problemsS-

-My 'sisters' and friends-

I first knew Izah when we were in the SAME CLASS for first degree in the first semester. So, Izah is one of my earliest BEST FRIEND in UiTM after Aida [who is my ex-roommate]. Until this year of 2011, I've been friend to Izah for 4 years already!

And for Ina, she was Izah's friend at that time. What makes my relationship with Ina STRONGER is that we share the same passions! We BOTH love JOHNNY DEPP! and most of all, WE ARE BOTH coffee lovers!!!

-Ina is a COFFEE LOVER, just like ME!-

-Izah and Ina- Thanx 4 being my friendzz -

It was raining outside KLCC. So, we couldn't snap pictures of the garden. Well, we just took pictures with the raining-garden background...hehe

-Hope we'll be Friends 4 Ever-

-I LoVe this picture the most!!!-

Thanks for reading this post about my 2 best friends and 'sisters'! If you want to edit pictures just like I did, try picnik.com!

To my beloved Izah and Ina, I really had a good time with you both! Thanks for accompanying me at the bus stop! hehehe...luv ya!
