Rushing all my homework, thesis n assignment on fri b4 going 2 Dennie's place.
Stay a night over her rental house in Ken.
The next day morning, after taking our breakfast n after paying her phone's bill, v begin our journey 2 Malacca-a place I love, especially the food n the environment.
V took a taxi 2 Puduraya, then bought bus ticket 2 Malacca.
Arrived Malacca Sentral at 1315 n then took bus no. 17 to the town.
I went Malacca once in a year since 2007. The 1st time was with Ireese, 2 silly gals carrying their backpacks n get lost their way, popping in n out, searching 4 the guesthouse, forgot 2 bring camera etc. While the 2nd time was with Chen Joo, Tyng n Ireese. V were more pro dis time, eh? But v lost our time searching 4 the guest house too! *sigh*
N dis time, which is the 3rd time, with Dennie, I'm considered 2 be pro! *cocky*
I knew all the way n where 2 get delicious food too! Hmmm...Dennie is blissful, with an experienced tour guide, hehe!!!
Ok ok, stop talking the pass! R u ready 2 join our journey? Yeah? Let's go! Ikimasho!

Camwhore in car...

The clock struck 2 when v arrived Malacca...
The beautiful windmill...
Dennie bz taking pics wv her canon pro camera...
V 1st rush into Jonker Street. Tatz the way v must pass by 2 get to our guest house.
Pretty shock coz many things changed. Jonker galleries sprawled everywhere, my favorite cafe shifted 2 another street, a whole new n huge building in red, San Shu Gong stands beside Zhong Hua Chicken Rice, it was still under construction the time i went there...Wow!
The river tat v cross 2 JS, now there is cruise service provided to view Malacca...
The new building...
After shuttling on streets n alleys, v finally reached Ringo's Foyer, the guest house where v r going 2 shack for. Unfortunately, the owner, Howard, he was not in. So, a woman opened the door 4 us. There were 2 groups of ppl came after us. A family fr Singapore n a group of Thai.
V waited him 4 more than half hour, then, the wife called Howard. He was having his lunch. So he tried 2 rush back within a minute.
I'm surprised tat he still remember me. He used 2 speak in English wv us n the family. But then suddenly he asked:"你不是有来过咩?" Oh gosh! Well, he asked us 2 enjoy our trip 1st, then settle our payment 2mr.
V quickly rushed 2 JS coz v were damn hungry. Hmm...*clear throat* I suggested 2 go 大宝小食 as there is famous of delicious Nyonya Laksa n refreshing Baba Cendol. Erm...The kind nyonya who serves laksa was not there, oni 2 philipins worker working in the stall. After that, v loitered in JS.
Camwhore again...
大宝小食...

Lighting items...
A lion's head on the roof...
V passed by a stall selling weapons. The vendor is very funny. He took his own weapon-a big n heavy sword n gave us a posting. V surely captured the funniest moment as fast as lightning. 10s 4 ur cooperation, uncle.
V were very thirsty tat day. Perhaps v've taken lotsa laksa soup. V found tat it was difficult 2 find a shop selling beverage. Luckily, San Shu Gong flashed in our mind. Without waiting a minute, v rushed there 2 enjoy our drinks n buying some souvenirs.
The interior...
It was 4pm++, v walked back 2 Dutch square n took some pic. Oh ya, v met a couple taking bridal photo there. As i'm busybody, i took their pics while waiting Dennie taking her 'preferable' photos using Canon pro camera! Hehe... Then, waiting time 2 go 4 Satay Celup. 4 me, i don't really enjoy it much. The price already increase fr 60 cents to 70 cents. I'm wondering y it is always crowded by ppl. V need 2 wait 4 the long queue every time. Actually, I m not willing 2 go there but just to accompany Dennie dis time. Although there is a new shop opened next to Capitol Satay Celup, but ppl still prefer 2 go Capitol. Y? On ne sais pas.

After tat, v padded along the streets n got back 2 JS. There, v did our shopping again. The most important thing is, to catch up Master Ho Eng Hui's show. He is still using the same tactic, asking foreigner 2 help him, n showing off his "coconut breaking with a finger". Oh, c'est bizarre, huh?
A reporter fr Utusan interviewed him b4 the show. Tell u a secret, i was also being interviewed. *grin* The 1st time o...
During the show, Master Ho kept emphasizing:"我老了，56岁了，不能再表演了."
He departed 4 China the next day n will be having performance there. Plus, he already registered 2 break the genius record in US. Hope he can do it so..."Malaysia Boleh"

Then, v went back Ringo's. Charging my phone, sharing Kampai, chit-chating n went to bed. Waiting 4 the next day...
Me, playing Dennie's sword...
Kampai-ing moment...
The next morning, while I went downstairs 2 clear my payment, Howard gave me a RM5 discount. V chatted 4 a while. I asked him where is uncle Raymond who also being in charged of dis guesthouse went, Howard told me he already gone n wanted 2 open a guest house, furthermore, next 2 him. Oh! How sad. Raymond didn't do tat though. In my opinion, he is kind. Can't believe wat Howard told me. Howard then asked me 2 work with him, in charging the whole guest house. Wow! Kinda big responsibility...I replied him by saying:" I Consider la."
Ringo's Foyer...
Howard the boss...
Camwhore in the room...
V went 中华 2 hv our brunch.
Another long queue...*sigh*
While waiting, I saw a bus passing by n the folks were waving their hand 2 us.
As manner, i wave my hand 2 them too!
(I really don't understand y the rest stand so wooden...Damn it!)
So many ppl waiting...
SS-ing...
Finally, it's our turn...
After tat, v went 2 A Famosa, taming tower n then foot reflexology where recommended by Howard.

Time flies fast n it's time 4 us 2 go pick up our luggages n buy some souvenirs again at JS. And of course, going Limau-limau cafe is a must 4 me. I really love the mango milkshake there. The shop already shifted 2 another street. Luckily there is a signboard indicating the location.
Howard sent us 2 the sentral, he did tat last time too! V departed at 5:30pm n due 2 the traffic jam, v arrived Puduraya at 8pm++. Luckily v got a taxi. Dennie n I asked Jaw Shan 2 take dinner with us n then Dennie sent me back 2 college.
