A searin' good time in Malacca (16 to 17 Feb)

The idea about making a short weekend getaway actually stemmed from rachel's pre-term start at uni...and of course the ever-tightening budget. I put some pictures below to update you guys in a show-tell manner...so scroll on and enjoy!
Kristie and Rachel posing for my cam whilst we waited for the slow Babas to snail through the check-in process for all visitors that day...

Rachel lookin' all pweety and plum blossomy :)

All washed up, fresh and ready to rumble along Jonker street the next morning!

And we walked, and we walked, and we walked all day...with our determined heels and zest for shopping...on we persevered!

Then i came across this fascinating looking temple with rather-4D designs on their pillars and walls... posed quickly for my cam cos i was worried the worshippers might come marching out! Heheee...

And then we walked until we neared the Fort, which was bustling with activites and trishaws and radiantly coloured to lift the mood of the town...ermm, and then mat poser came out again.

We stopped for some delicious cendol that made the 3 of us swoon almostly indecently in delight. HEHEH...


This was the 2nd round of icy indulgences that we just couldnt turn a blind tastebud to. Kristie was the only one who ordered a mango something, which was uniquely different from our same, boring but ooh-la-la choices! See, the 3 of us had to squeeze onto our spot at the corner of a small table becos the kiasus took up positions already. Vell, anyway its still good to learn how we werent the only ones who condemn the kiasus! :D


Our last stop for that short weekend was for some chicken rice balls that malacca is quite renowned for. Well, we had some of that at some K-something kopitiam where we went through some trial and errors and you know, i aint going back there again! Prefer the 2nd restaurant along Jonker Walk.

All in all, we fought valiantly through the throngs of kiasus, bore the heat, shopped to fitness and ate to put it all back on. I'd definitely go back again for a nighter!
