Ehm, let me try to recall as much as possible on what we did there... Ok, WL told the kids we were heading to "Xiao Niang Re"'s home... Cos it's tough for them to understand where is Malacca, geographically and also theoritcally, as they would need to be buckled up in their seats for at least 3 hours in the car!! So to make they feel anticipated towards the trip, WL had to say something they understand!! And I had told them, they need to nap in the car, get up, watch some movies on our portable DVD player before they reach their favourite character's home!! And so they did, they were quite ok through the car ride, took their nap, got up & still buckle in their seats!! Haha... And we only make 1 stop-over for them to stretch their legs, for US to go loo & also got them each a pack of milo.
And, before the trip, I had bought an app on my Iphone, the GPS system Papago with Malaysia map, and it's really good!! Cos it's running on satelite & there's warning of Speed cam along the way, and of cos, the best thing is it does not require any data plan for it to navigate, as I do not want to pay thousands of dollars when I get back home! Ehm, yes, I may be familiar with the road in Malacca (since I was BORN there, but been a long time since I heard back to Malacca to visit relatives!), so I thought it's better to have a MAP on hand since we are really on our own this time!!
Ok, back to the trip, after we checked into the hotel, we went to the famour Jonker Street, hoping to have our dinner & also do some walk around, and lucky for us, Jonker Street is only available on weekends!! So it's our ONLY chance to be able to 'see see look look' for this trip! We bought lots of things to eat along the way, and of cos, lots of drinks also... But none were what I was looking for! Haha... Anyway, the kids seem to be enjoying but it was pretty humid there and super crowded!!
Day 1: 0808, we arrived around 5+pm & only managed to go to the Jonker Street, which is just behind our hotel!!
Day 2: 0908 (Happy National Day! :p) This is my first time stepping into Malacca museums!! Haha.. Though I was born there, but I never attended schools there, we only went back during our school holidays, and during public holidays break!! The kids were really upset over the big ship museum showing some prisoners being locked up in the 'confinement deck'. Especially Adwin, he keep asking to stay there, he felt so upset that the guy can't move anywhere with the heavy ball chained up on his legs and he keep telling us the guy can't go shopping, toilet, etc after we left!! Haha... So WL though to take the picture so he can look at when he 'misses' the poor guy! :p The dinner we had today was BAD... I really never expect this famous Farmosa Chicken Rice ball to be so tasteless... if not for the fact we have nothing better to eat around the hotel!! And forgot to mention, for our breakfast, WL got up early & went to the famous Dim Sum cafe, just behind Jonker Street to get some dim sum & you know what? He said he ordered the famous BIG BAO, but the guy forgot to give him!!! ARGH... I had missed the bao since it's been YEARS since I last tried it!! *sob sob*...
Day 3: 1008, we will be heading back home today!! A really fast short getaway!! We decided to go for the breakfast provided by the hotel, the kids enjoyed it, having their eggs & cornflakes... We decided to go for a last walk around the area before we go back for shower & check out. And we managed to get some really nice chicken rice balls along the way, no time for dine in, so only pack some for later consumption! And while we were walking back, my cousin bumped into us!! haha... really so coincidental, cos he was out to collect his son's full month cakes, & was heading home, but saw WL!! Haha... Anyway, after our check out, we head to the famous Satay Place for satay!!! & my kids really had alot of satay, Adwin being the meat-eater, enjoys most!! Haha... Our last stop before the way home, was a new mall (to me i guess!) but we find the things are quite expensive, so we were really window shopping and only got 2 avacado coffee from J.Co & head back home...
The kids are asking to go Little Nonya's house once awhile now... haha... Hope to find time to go back once again!!
