Malacca Trip: Day 1

it was really a fun-filled trip, havent been on a trip with friends for a very long time! :)

the trip started off on a sunny Saturday, all together 10 person we drove 2 cars down to malacca! we took off around 1.30pm !

our beloved drivers: Arthur and Joey!

it took us more than 3 hours to reach amanda's (our malacca main host!) house, due to the aged kancil that can only travel 80km/h ! although it was slow but it was steady, thanks to our driver - joey! :) so when we reached there it was about 5pm, we chilled for an hour in her house by just lying around

from top to bottom: joey, munyan, rachael, steph and me

then another malakian friend - jovina join to host us around too!
we took off around 6.30pm and off we go to find foooods! Everyone was craving for - "o jian" (fried egg with oyster), so amanda brought us to a stall where people queue up for roughly an hour to get the "o jian". We wanted to sight see more rather than waiting for food, therefore amanda drop me and jovina down to the stall to order take away for the "o jian"! Me and jovina waited for roughly 30mins infront of the stall, the uncle wont stop frying and people wont stop coming! I personally dont really fancy over "o jian" due to an after effect i had last time, but the taste was rather quite on my satisfaction! ehehehe :D

but due to the serious jam in malacca town, we didnt ended up to have some local specialty food on the first night. We went to somewhere near jonker street to get some mamak food to make us easy to proceed our sightseeing at jonker street!

the night streets in malacca !

ehem. this is reaaallly my first time in jonker street, sangat the memalukan kan! :( okay, maybe i was there when i was 3 years old, because i saw a picture of me infront of the red church.. but jonker street is really an eye-opener for me! although its just only a normal pasar malam alike street, but the street atmosphere and ambience is so antique :)

there's this band that tour around jonker street by doing drum performance,
they're really cool, check them out @ Made in Malacca.
i need to post this picture despite the blurness! woolala :D

initially we plan to go to malacca's club to have some fun, but everyone was tired and wanted to just sit and chill in some place, so here's this awesome place we found in jonker street - the Geographer Cafe. i really like the store's ambience, very chilling.

we stayed at jonker street until 1am, the street was empty hence we snap quite an amount of picture with those ancient buildings :)

infront of the Hokkien association,
they have this karaoke session for those elders every night..or at least every night i went there, its full with elders who sings and dance there! :) ehehehe

have a look at this awesome building and lighting we have! :) supa nice!

we then proceed to The Jetty, its basically a building that is build towards the sea. There's club, snooker place, karaoke and some lounge/pub. Fyi, one of the reason we came all the way to malacca was to experience some clubbing fun but we didnt ended up in the club, because we were overly under-dressed, we were wearing slippers, tees and shorts. ehehe. But yeah, we enter the club for the last 20mins where no one would care anything about us.
But it was actually quite plain, i was expecting something more fun.. ahaha

So we ended our first day in Malacca, you would probably know what time we were home.. (hint: when the club close)!

interesting fact in malacca: there's very small amount of car being register under the malacca city, the furthest number plate i saw is MDG XXXX.. but malacca is jam for 24/7
