Malacca trip recount

Upon requests i shall do an accout on a recent trip to A'Famosa and Malacca.First of all, i gotta say dat its dumb to be paying to visit ur own hmetown but yea i guess the company counts fr evything, nt the destination. Let me begin..from my point of view dat is..

DAY ONE

Got up at approximately 4 .45am even tho i only manged to go to bed at 2.50. No thx to Kok Mun haha. Well yea..my fone was like some hotline, started going off from as early as 5.30. I sensed excitement haha and most jst wanted confirmation on what and what nt to bring. Among the random questions i had to handle were:-
1. Do we need sleeping bag? -Melvin
2. Do we need shoes? - Kai Xin

Haha people..were staying in a resort villa, not a campsite! and no..we do not need a tent.

Well, we were scheduled to meet at 6.30 and i was so glad to see evryone thr bright and early. The last ones? Ms.Cheang and ms. Rachel. So much fr punctuality! We left approximately 7.25 in two seperate vans of which were totally unbalanced. Ratio of 5 to 10. What eva happened in my van of 5 cn be read in Kok Mun's blog. Haha shortcut a lil. Well we got to A'Famosa by 9. So much fr being stuck in traffic! We actually told the drvier to slow down haha..Went to the reception and dumped out bags, got villa confirmation and paid hard cash.

In the lobby....


Our holiday escape...haha

Afta a brief discussion..we left fr Safari Animal Park. Bought the passes and den we met up with Jasmine and Shalini who decided to go thr by themselves. I had to tk them to the reception once mre to dump their bags this time. I hv no clue wat the others did to kill time. Neways, when we got bk, we headed straight in. First up-elephant show. Oh God, i was gonna kill the commentator. blah blah blah....we walked around aimlessly afta dat and soon to follow were such activities-bird show, safari ride, animal walkway, food, wild wild west (KILL ME!) , multi animal show n monkey island boat ride. Once again the commentator spoiled the show. That dumb ass cant speak at all..had no clue what he was trying to say. Vasanth and i later named him snack based on the way he pronounced snake. Due to the heat and fatigue..i cud really have smashed his face! Was really pushing me over the edge.

Well we finally left tadika heaven at 4 i think. And got into our villa. Sorted ourselves into rooms and i ended up wit Kah shin, Kai Xin, Melvin and Kok Mun. Conflict arised when teacher found out haha. I shall leave it at that. You noe whr dis is heading to..Next door was Vasanth, Shine, Thomas and Philip. Across in one room held-Yee siew, Jasmine, Shalini and Sze lynn; and bside held the 2 teachers, abi and pryangka. Starving..we all dug into random food, mostly instant noodles and chips. We are teenagers afta all. We were all sweaty and required a major bathe haha. The boys, took a quick route and dcided to do it all together. Imagine 5 of them in thr? and to mk things worse..they were giggling and making so much noise. Sounded so wrong but it was fun.

And now some pictures.....

Kah shin, Me and Kai Xin looking silly...


Kids and the tapir...

I was so bored...u can tell by my expression haha and so too Vasanth's

Boat ride...it was really sunny



A view of evryone on the boat..well nt evryone but most

Sze Lynn, Yee siew, Ms.cheang, Ms.Rachel, Melvin and me..


Afta dat all, we decided to go to Cowboy Town. Dat hweva was a failure as it was too pricey. Instead we went to the Clubhouse and had a great dinner thr. Chilled awhile and den left fr the villa once mre.

And once more..pictures speak a thousand words

People on the left gng to the mall..on the right to the beach...jas? i hv no clue myself ahah

When we got bk..a bunch of us played twister and other random things. Was tired so went to vasanth's room to rest. Gosh his bed was the BEST eva. Damn relaxing..He came in and we had our salty salty talk. Loovvee oofff myy lliiffeee.....hahaha we were being mean. Apparently, we looked wrong according to the others and tcher too. Jst so u noe..we were jst talking! Many came to spy on us..dun think they realise i cud see as i was under the covers-hidden. Neways, apparently again..i managed to eat while halfway sleepin. Vas fed me chips APPARENTLY and i chewed? haha great i had no clue. We continued to talk till we cud hear each other's voice fading away and thr u have it. SLEEP. Sadly..no pics were taken.

Shine woke me up when he jumped under the covers into the bed i was sleeping in. Selamba to the max wei! Gave me a scare..wudnt let drowsy me up at first, but i managed. Caught up wit the rest who then dcided to tell ghost stories. Nw dat was creepy. Dark wit a lit candle in the middle. Went to bed again at approx 2.15 i think. laid in bed...whispered with Melvin and when no reply came bk meaning we were gone. haha

DAY TWO

I woke up silently at 6.30 and went out to the freezing cold living room. Waited till 7 and gave the whole villa a wake up call. Last to wake up? the room full of gals..a banged and knocked and yet no reply. locked the door summre. the first? the BOYS! Vasanth sprang out of bed so quickly gave me quite a scare. Others were alrite.. I sent the first 8 fr bfast and the remaining chilled in the villa and made our own food.

At 9, we met up wit the rest who had bfast and went into Water World. It was definately way way better than tadika heaven. Went on loadsa rides and pranked a lil too. Lifeguards were on the lookout. Got a few injuries..cut on hand, face and leg, thx to the rope in the wave pool.

Waiting fr the shuttle...dis pic was taken by kai xin who was messing wit my fone haha


Jas and me in water world..

Melvin..and yea me lookin lyk a weirdo..haha

By 2.30 we were completely knackered and had to leave afta a horrible lunch. Free time in the villa was the best! Did so so many random things tho i cnt even remember wat. There was also a major salty fish moment for Vasanth and me. hahaha...well dis is hw it went...i was on the fone and sitting in the cupboard of which i changed in the previous day. Vas being himself wanted to have some private salty talk and hence climbed into the cupboard as well. He shut the door... i was shifting, he was shifting and all of a sudden...BOOM! It collapsed under us. He ran for his life and hid under the covers of the bed. Left me stuck in thr, mind u..still on the fone haha. i cnt remember who pulled me out but yea..thx.(updated-i found my hero haha it was Melvin Yeow!) That was definately a priceless moment. Memories fr life! Biggest regret is dat i did nt get a snapshot haha.

Mahjong gang...

Gettin ready to go out...Thomas my personal hair stylist haha


Dinner in Le Garden...

Jasmine being her usual self..

Evryone in the van seemed either drunk or stonned haha


Blinded by the flash...

Guess who...

Ok, at first it was jst a handful of us gng to Malacca town that nite..but in the end, evryone wanted to come along, excluding the tchers dat is. We hired a van and took a long long ride dwn. We went to Dataran Pahlawan and had dinner in Le Garden while the rest went fr satay celup. The boys managed to get a bottle of black label and sneaked it all the way bk. The van ride bk was amusing..evryone seemed drunk or sumhw stonned. They sang nursery rhymes fr heavens sake! I yet again fell aslp. Dunno hw i managed being cramped up like dat but Melv was a great lean on. We went to visit this keris shit and i was nt happy haha. so damn lame..

The fun continued at the villa. In one room held, Kah Shin, Vasanth, Melvin, Thomas, Shine, Philip n me. I have no clue wat evryone else was dng..most went to bed witout us. They drank..we chatted, played cards and laughed. yet another incident occured. Shine being all topsy, broke this glass..great. Oh! did i mention i slapped him? he asked fr it...literally. gave him a few soft ones on one side and a HUGE one the other. Lol.. Need description of wat happened then? View Melvin's blog.

This continued till 2.20am when someone suggested to go for a walk. And so we left..all 7 of us. We walked dwn the road to the reception area. Along the way..many hilarious things happened.

Only pic i have...

Shine kept hugging people..crushed me under his lenghty arms haha.. Melvin was lyk,"hold my hand wei..i need it". Haha i casually played along..we sat thr, chilled, chatted, played a fool, took videos and was later joined by Kok Mun. The walk bk was a noisy one..stand by me was being sung by them boys. Priceless moments yet again.

We still managed to play mafia upon return. Was crushed! i cudnt even blink at that time. Impending bed time was inevitable. This time round..Kai Xin was missing frm out bed as she slept way way earlier so we had a new occupant-Thomas. It wasnt planned..he jst slept off so quickly..and i didnt wanna wake him. Looked so cute, like a lil fur ball by the corner of the bed. Was freezing..so my jacket came into use once mre. He didnt make any movements all nite long. The other two of us in bed slept at an angle to accomodate Thomas haha.

DAY THREE

I woke up later...was drained of all energy. Got ready and followed the remaining 8 fr bfast. Thr wasnt enuf..so i gave up my bfast and brought sum along instead. All in all..it was a gd morning. We left the villa at 11.30 and headed off fr Malacca.

We went to Jonker's street first and had lunch-Chicken ball rice. We did some shoppig afta dat. Jasmine and i got a similar bracelet which was really nice. Others bought loads mre stuff. Afta dat we departed fo Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade. A bunch of us went dwn to the bowling alley and had great fun thr. We were all rusty so try imagine us. My bro joined in fr this and fitted rite in haha..jj..whrs rudy? haha We only managed one round as we had to leave..bus driver's orders! Gosh i tot he was gonna bash me up! Didnt fancy him one bit but i was shit scared!

Knowingly, i brought thm to Tan Kim Hock so that they cud get some malacca food to tk hme. Many things were bought and dey even had cendol thr. Durian...YUCKS!

At around 5pm they left...and i was left bhind. Dat was a sad moment...i didnt want to leave! haha afta a few hugs..i made my way hme.................................lame
