It has been since a week I came back from Malacca. Have always wanted to blog and write down my feelings along the trip but I'm either too tired or too lazy, but mostly due to me being tired after work or after tuition.
I went with Lixiang, Zhong Cheng and Jin Tong, all are my CC friends. Actually Wenhui supposed to go, but fly aeroplane last minute. Hence Jin Tong came along. Seems like a good thing cos Jin Tong talks more then Wenhui and thus made the trip more lively. Wenhui seldom talks... btw. And also, Zhong Cheng's home is in Malacca.
It was a very fun trip I would say and mostly due to the fact that it was really relaxing there. It was a really free and easy trip cos we could go wherever we wanted to. There was a car for use and a new terrace house for us to stay in. Thou no fan, no bed and no heater... maybe cos I was tired... I fell asleep without much turns.
I ate a lot of things there, some of which I never ate before... like the chicken rice balls. Not too sure why the balls were not served hot... but still tasted rather nice. The chicken was a bit hard so I minus marks off the chicken. Ate prata there too. They call it roti cenai. We here call it roti prata. Nothing very special thou. The teh there is nice... cos its sweet enough. I like sweet drinks but not toooo sweet. Haha...
On Sat night we went for a big gathering dinner... cos ZC's gd friend Albert had a gathering with his customer cum friend Joris. This Joris is a Dutch and spent quite some time cycling around the world. Nice life! And he came back to find Albert cos about a year ago before he left, he said he'll be back and there he is. And cos so, Albert admires Joris for keeping his word. If I were Albert, I guess I would be. Promises nowadays don't mean a thing anymore because people no longer kept to their words. Hence if someone makes a promise to you and manage to keep it, then it becomes very precious. Last time when I was in primary school, there was a "qian bian wen da ti" that says "what is something that cannot be broken"? The answer is a promise. That was probably 12 years or more ago, when people generally believe so, that promises must be kept and cannot be broken. As time passes, it seems like this is being eroded. For me, I always believe that promises cannot be broken, unless someone whom you made the promise to you broke it. Then it becomes meaningless for you to keep your promise. Cos its not worth it anymore. And even if you stuck to yours, you end up being called "stupid".
As Malacca was so relaxing, I really enjoyed myself there. There, nobody seems to be in a rush for time. You generally do not see people running around so say things like "faster lah, no time already". You judge your own pace. Even like shopping... you can nua around and nobody kind of stresses you to buy. Btw I bought myYSL love palette (launched in Dec 07 in SG) in Parkson Malacca. Hahah... in SG all sold out le. In there still left 3. Heheh... thou not too cheap, abt S$68, I bought it. I take it as a collection. Pretty item!
I still have 11 days of leave to take... and I seriously don't know how to finish it. Maybe plan a holiday in the 2nd half of the year?? Hmm... see how lah.
Btw, Malacca's security is quite good. Not like JB or KL. Overall, many thanks to ZC and his family and friends for their kind gestures. Appreciate it a lot!!!
