Do you know what is bliss?
It’s waking up at 10 on a Monday morning without being awaken by the alarm clock. Stretched and jumped out of bed. Peeked out the window curtain to the rain splattering down the window in drops. Slipped back under the duvet because it’s sooo cold.
That is bliss. Not having to work is bliss =)
But that bliss only lasted for 5 minutes because I need to get out of the house to do my identification card and the new credit cards.
**********
Here’s another set of outdated photos. I kept feeding you guys with outdated photos sigh. I don’t really have the time to download the photos and blog about them. The only free time I have is when I have to shit. That also maybe only once a week like that I’m constipated haha.
The guys took leave and followed me back south. Left at 6.30am I nearly died because I slept at 5am the night before.
#1 Me sound asleep in the car even before we reach Juru toll haha.
We dropped by Malacca before Sgt.
You know what the stupid thing is?
We got lost on the way to Malacca because we’re supposed to head to Johor Bahru after Tampin toll but we drove towards Kuala Lumpur so we’re actually going to the opposite direction sigh why like that! I go to Malacca since I’m 6 like that also I can sesat T_T
Kevin: I’m sure is Johor Bahru. I always send Mei from Tampin to Melaka i’m SURE.
VSoon: I’m sure. I grew up here. I wanna bet RM200 it’s Kuala Lumpur! (shouting at Kevin)
Me: Not Johor Bahru. Not Kuala Lumpur also. -_-” (basically talking rubbish)
FatBoySlim: I think trust VSoon la go KL. I wanna bet on top for RM50 too.
End up, Kevin head to KL and found out it’s wrong so we exited PedasLinggi toll ehehe. We took 2.5 hours to reach Malacca which should be 1 hour 20 mins. But don’t know where the RM200 and RM50 went??
Right after we reach we went to Makko for lunch. I had Makko since I was a kid and never miss dropping by everytime we go to Malacca.
#2 We ordered Rendang Chicken, Sambal Tumis Sotong, Otak-otak, Satay Tofu and Vege. 2 thumbs up yummy!
#3 My very fat friend who finished 3 bowls of rice everytime.
#4 I bought 2 very big packets of keropok made out of potato.
We called up YYY after lunch, met up with him so he could be our tour guide then we don’t have to depend on the map.
First stop: The Stadhuys. The official residence of Dutch Governer in 1650.
#5 Kevin, Moi, YYY and VSoon in front of Stadhuys.
#6 Me in front of Christ Church built in 1753.
#7 YYY, Moi and Kevin in front of the water fountain right in the middle of T.S. There’re a lot of people around watching the guy with the big fat yellow snake.
2nd stop: St. Paul’s Church right on top of St. Paul hill. It used to be a prayer house of the Portugese Catholics, then turned into Dutch burial ground. We climbed up the hill.

#15 FatBoySlim, Me, Kev, YYY in some hut next to the “river”.
#16 Me snapping away while the rest of them figuring out where the place to board the boat is.
#17 We shouted over to the people in the boat to ask them where they board the boat. They pointed to the right and shouted back “the place where they sell congee”.
#18 One last photo before we drive over to the congee place.
#19 Me.
The guys at the congee place said the place to board the boat is 5 minutes walk down the road at the Shell station. So we decided to walk over.
#20 We took almost 20 photos while walking over to the Shell station. We said the view is good, but truth is we needed to rest because everyone is tired haha. The 5minutes feels like half an hour no kidding.
#21 Kev with his signature pose. Can’t you tell he totally spoilt my photo@??!!@@!!$#$%^@#
#22 Us trying to molest Kevin. DID U SEE THAT? His PINK COLOUR Renoma wtf where got guy wear pink colour bah. I told him if a guy took off his pants and I see pink colour renoma I’d totally lose my appetite and whatever mood and ask him to wear back the pants wtf.
In the end, we didn’t get to take the boat because the next boat is 8pm and it’s 1+ hour away. So we walked back which is another half an hour T__T We decided to come back here later at night because we’re all dying to take the boat haha I don’t know why.
5th Stop: Jonker Walk. The once richman street, a living proof of Baba Nyonya rich heritage.
#23 We laughed at those people who were queuing for the famous chicken rice ball. The queue is so long it appeared in newspaper.

#42 The deluxe room which I had to unwillingly share with Kev. I had to draw the line on the floor with chalk so he won’t invade my territory.
#43 Last one before I sleep. Good Night!!!
I slept at almost 1 and we agreed to meet up at 11am. Stupid Kevin set his alarm clock at 9am. WHY TELL ME WHY HE SET IT 2 HOURS EARLIER??!!! He need to makeup and do his hair is it. So end up I lose 1.5 hours sleep @#$#^%@#$@%

So have you guys heard of Big Apple Donut? Everytime I pass by the shop I see almost 30 people lining up and I also heard a lot of people say it’s very very nice hence it’s all worth the queue. Dataran Pahlawan has a Big Apple chain so I decided to try it out to see what all the hoo haa is about.
