xmas in malacca
so this was the last trip for the year… to spend xmas in malacca. what a looong journey it was, literally. after i knocked off from work that day, i drove on down to pick sk up from home before proceeding to drive to malacca via the tuas checkpoint. that’s not forgetting to stop by maccas to buy some food.
the traffic was pretty smooth… i was quite happy. was estimating we’ll maybe take abt 3hrs judging from it being the first time i’m driving to malacca and that the gps i borrowed frm wj is spoilt! but!! shit happens! aft the check point, we missed the petrol station and thus got flustered because i was only left with less than a quarter tank. we exited the expressway in search of a kiosk, and since we saw the sign to the jb premium outlets, we decided to drop by to shop, lol. in abt half an hour, we left empty-handed. nothing to buy at all, such limited stocks, waste of our time. we pumped up and made our way to malacca. the traffic was shitty because it was raining. then when we reach malacca, we couldn’t find our hotel, wtf! thankfully we went for supper at jonker before searching, if not we’ll both be in a foul mood. we only managed to check in and lie on the bed at past midnite. took us like 4hours!
there’s really nothing much to do in malacca then than eating. we ate like 5-6 meals on day 2, hahaaha. unbelievable. and we can go out in search of food around the neighbourhood of our hotel at 1+am. thats how “piggish” we were. we slept, ate and shopped! that was our itinerary for the trip.
on the third night which was christmas day, we decided to have dinner at this popular portuguese restauarant. wow, i tell u, the people there think they own the road. they were walking everywhere! and when i try to drive myself through, they glared at me! hello!! do u think i want to knock u down? this is a road, it is for cars and not humans to walk around! WTF! damn pissed off!
initially sk despised shopping in msia., but eventually still bought more stuff than i did. all the money was almost spent within the first day. i happened to pass by the same thai massage salon that i went during my prev trip w the poly girls. remembering how shiok it was, i decided to go again, this time with sk. sk has never tried a thai massage b4!! tsk! don’t understand whyyy! the family did not eat chicken rice, jonker 88, lok lok, nor gone shopping or had thai massage during their prev trip to malacca. i really wonder what they did during the trip. anyway, the massage was damn SHIOK! sk is a new convert of thai massage, hahahaha. the guy masseuse was perspiring after the session, hahahaha. poor fella.
monday, we checked out and went in search of the popular nyonya restaurant for lunch before heading back to spore. it was full house, had to wait quite a while. the food was good (not spicy enough tho) n service could be better. we dropped by jusco for a walk before starting our journey back at 3.30pm. it took us a fucking 1hr to get outta malacca to the expressway! then there were jams here and there. i really dont understand. its not like there were any accidents, there were NONE!! just because a vehicle broke down on the road shoulder, it’ll cause a jam. what logic is that?! n fyi, i’m not talking abt a small jam. guess how long it took us to reach spore? over 5 fucking hours!! damn pissed n tired. arggggghhh!
was supposed to join them colleague’s at dan’s house for xmas bbq dinner. in the end, by the time i reached, it was supper already.
sooo… these were the ups n downs of my malacca xmas trip! now its time to think about new year resolutions.
