My First Malacca Trip with Elvina (Continued....)

[This is continued from My First KL Trip with Elvina...]

I do apologise for taking so long to post my Malacca trip...
Due to my mummy's ordeal and work commitments, I do have to set my priorities...

Well, on that Sunday Morning (14th September, 2008)...

I try to admire Josh's garden for one last time before we headed off to Malacca...

He does have a beautiful garden I would say, most probably well-kept by his parents...


Even, the bees came to pay visit... he he he...

I was trying to say goodbye to my friend, who was pretty much still asleep in his room at the time I phone-called him...

He suddenly said, "Come, I will send u to KTM..."

He is a good friend... actually the best friend I ever had

Due to his hectic work, he seldom has time to sleep... And at that morning when he was in his deepest dream, I woke him... How naughty am I...

I do have to apologize to him for that...

And furthermore... he brought us to have Brunch (Breakfast & Lunch Combined)!!!

Beautiful Fish-Head... And Cheapest Food I ever had in KL... even cheaper than in Kuching...

If you guys ever want to try, ask Josh via me for the exact address...





After the full-filling Brunch, we off to the KTM station to take a train to Seremban with a heavy load...




From Bandar Tasik Selatan to Seremban...

Funny Thing is when I reached Seremban... I didn't have to return my ticket pass as we went through an open gate...

Cool...

From the Seremban's KTM station to the Bus station is about 10 mins walk (with the load, of course)... Technically it is just across the road...

Luckily we managed to get bus tickets to Malacca but we have to wait for two (2) hours... Urghh...


So we decided to pop into this Donut Place in the bus station to sit down and take a rest...

Pretty deserted in there compared to outside...

As Elvina taking a rest, I decided to browse around...

I went through the link-bridge from the bus station to a shopping centre...

Seems like some event is happening ...




Well, we managed to board the bus at around 4.00pm...

So off we go... To Malacca...

As Elvina taking more rest, I started reading a book lent to me by Ms Yap Chiew Chin titled "Drinking Coffee, Telling Stories & Making Money"... Shall tell you my feedback and comments of this book when I finished it...


We reached Malacca Sentral (Bus Station) at around 5-ish pm

Quickly, we rushed to catch a local bus to Malacca Town Centre...

The bus was quite full... so I have give my seat to an old granny...



Due to traffic jam, we were being dropped at Melaka Parade Shopping Centre... and we have to walk for about 20 mins to reach the Red Church and another 5 mins to reach our hostel, Number Twenty Guesthouse...

Usually, bus will pass through the Red Church and from there it is just 5 mins walk .... Oh well, there is a past...

Anyway for more info', kindly browse http://twentymelaka.com/

The Guesthouse is very comfy and the hospitality is beautiful. Even the cat treated us very well...













While Elvina taking shower, I took more snaphots...





After refreshing ourselves, we decided to do some shopping at the new Melaka MegaMall - Dataran Pahlawan... which is just opposite of Melaka Parade...



And it's huge... and most of it is sort of like Underground...

After some fulfilling our eyes, we have to fulfill our stomach...

Back to Jonker Street... to have food...




We called off an early night as well... coz of the long travelling...

Next morning (15th September, 2008)

We managed to walk around the old Melaka....

Going through the Historic Landmark...














Never believe that Malacca
is full of
Beautiful Landmark!!!

My Camera is having some good times...

Wow...


Thanks a million, Twenty Guesthouse... I really appreciate your hospitality. Thank you...



Even my Lady is giving a happy face... That really indicates that she enjoys every bits of it...



Well... after checking out... off to Melaka Sentral and catch a bus straight back to KL..

At Melaka Sentral, I take some time off to enjoy my favourite drink...



Never believe, I really enjoy every drop of it...

and off we go to KL...




The bus actually stopped at Bukit Jalil., KL... Then we have to take a LRT from Bukit Jalil to KL Sentral... Wow... All I can say is that the whole trip is tedious and tiring... A lot of unnecessary walking... I thought after the completion of KL Sentral and Melaka Sentral, the implementation of One-Stop Centre will be effected... Apparently I was wrong...

When we reached KL Sentral... Food was what we in search for... The Big M



Finally, onto the final bus trip in KL... AirAsia Skybus...

Deja Vu... No reading light




Onto our flight back to Kuching...







Finally, a workable reading light...

After touching down to Kuching Airport, we are all lost of energy, ready to go home to have a good sleep...



Maybe not Elvina... she still feels that she want to have another trip...

Too bad... I'm really broke... Don't think I can join her with such madness...

But, really enjoy the Trip...
