I’m Back :)

Hey!!!

I'm back from Malacca :D The trip was AWESOME. LOL :P Okay, I shall stop this and let's get start with my journey.

22^nd of May:

I depart at 7.30a.m by bus and reached Putrajaya in the afternoon. Putrajaya is WAY hotter than Penang but that place is quite nice, really. Then we left Putrajaya after one and a half hours and continue the journey to Malacca. Reached Malacca in the evening and check in hotel (Hotel Grand Continental) before we went to dinner and other places since it was quite late already. Well, although the hotel is not BIG but the room is quite great and spacious (and very COLD!) especially the bathroom with big bathtub. Six people share 2 beds, imagine :/ After bath and everything, we went to dinner and I had McD for dinner, haha. Then we went shopping at some nearby stalls selling souvenirs since we still got 20 mins time. Initially, our teachers intended to bring us to Kota A' Famosa but it was so dark and some students wanna view the night city scene in some kind of incline life, so we cancelled that and continue to shop for a while. Later, we went for a walk and lastly went back to hotel.

Alright, I have a confession to make. I was scare to sleep and as a result, I just slept for 2-3 hours only. Luckily, some of my friends couldn't sleep as well so we ended up having a small 'party' :D After that, we had to sleep also because the next day we have many places to go.

23^rd of May:

Today was the best day among the days. First, we went to breakfast and my friends and I ended up have some drinks only because the stupid mamak guy took almost 20 mins to cook our foods. We can't wait anymore because we still left 15 mins to go back to bus. The first place we visited is Stadhuys, Malacca's most recognizable landmark that built in 1650 by Dutch. We visited the museum and Oh My God, the museum there is AMAZING! I was like OMG-ing and 'wow' all the time. The most interesting is, I can relate the things I studied in History with the things I saw :P It was really fantastic. Of course, I visited the Christ Church as well ;) Later, we went to Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum. That museum is INCREDIBLE as well. I saw one really nice table that the flowers were handcrafted, made from marble and no nails were used to make the table. There is one young lady to explain all the history, cultures and heritages of Baba and Nyonya to us. Their heritage is much related to Chinese. I am really impressed with everything. It is a must-visit place when you go Malacca. Then we had lunch at some coffee shop at Mahkota Parade and our next destination is Maritime Museum. The place look like a ship and is something like The Ship restaurant except the museum's one is very BIG and much nicer. That museum is all about ships and commerce once upon a time in Malacca. Not bad but I'm not that into that :) After that, we went to Jonker Street. It's something like Petaling Street in KL just that KL's have more stalls and people. I saw one Malay artiste that I don't know who the hell is. I knew he is an artiste because my friends told me. Lucky? I wish that were some Hollywood artiste :P At night, we went to shopping only at Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade. Shopping mall in Malacca is totally different from Penang. Theirs were smaller, very low-spirited and all. I think KL and Penang shopping centre are the best. LOL.

24^th of May:

It was the last day. Feel kinda sad, as usual. Today we went to a Chitty Museum and it's all about the Indian. I didn't quite know what that was about. It wasn't very nice. Then we went to Kota A' Famosa (finally) and some museum (again). That museum, of course was different. This one was about during 'zaman Kesultanan Melayu Melaka', how they rule the country, where do they sit in the 'balairung seri', the King, Queen, Prince and Princess formal and informal attire. It was fantastic as well. Therefore, that was all for today because we have to leave before 3p.m. We left right after we finished our lunch :( We had dinner at Taiping and bought the food in Tapah. I had Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins for dinner :P

Hence, Malacca is a really AMAZING and AWESOME place. If you love history, you must visit. You'll never regret it. If you were to ask me if I want to visit Malacca again, I definitely say 'YES' with no doubt. I took loads of picture and will post it later :)
