a view from the hotel room

One of the malaysia relatives came to met us.. then she drove us with her proton saga to aunt's house... it took her 2 trips..

aunt's house is a 2 story houses.. it is quite small inside.. very messy.. a lot of pple live in there.. front door face the traffic.. back door is back alley.. park with their cars..

Around evening time, we walked the pasa malam "jonker walk" which only open on weekends.. it just locate right side of aunt's house.. maybe we went too early.. the pple still setting up their stalls... there are a lot of interesting stalls... not like SG pasa malam

famous chicken rice balls.. always having long Q..

my mother bought carrot cake...

Very soon around 6.30pm.. the crowd increase..

saw an airplane flying up.. i took the photo..

we walked halfway.. relative's husband came with another car proton wira.. then with the 2 cars.. they drove 13 of us plus 2 children to a place.. i dont know where.. we had malay seafood..
as u know i'm scare my stomach will upset so i dont dare to eat much..

At there we were served with nasi lemak and otak otak first.. see below how small the packet is.. then all the seafood we ordered..

after dinner.. we went to take the river boat.. RM$5 per head.. actually nth much to see.. only a small part the the river has decorations.. and found out they have a small ferries wheel..

then we back to the pasa malam again.. this time we spent more longer time.. and we had little shopping.. around 11pm.. most of the shop closed.. my mum bought noodles kind of like fish ball noodles back to hotel and eat.. just cost RM$2.50 per pack..

Day 2

Wake up quite early..think 6am plus... my relatives came around 8am.. drove us again.. this time we had Dim Sum as breakfast.. see how cute it is.. Total cost i think RM$150 for 13 persons..

After that we went to the Guanyin temple nearby for some praying..
just right the next day is Vesek Day.. we saw indians have celebration..

time fly fast.. it's time for lunch again.. this time we having some balls..

BALLS???? haha

know what it is now?
It's malacca famous chicken rice balls.. see how small the rice is..
we ordered 160 chicken rice balls for 13 persons.. sound a bit crazy.. haha..
actually SG do have.. i know it is located at Ang Mo Kio but i never been there..
i myelf ate 10 chicken rice balls.. so what do u expect from a big eater? The total cost i think RM$80.. with 2 whole chickens..

after that we went to relative's mother house and rest for an hr.. then we went to the shopping mall at malacca but just an hr.. sob sob.. then another sad thing is we didnt go to the red house there which malacca is famous for.. cause the weather is damm hot.. they had a sky view tower too like sentosa..

we are really really really tired.. imagine the weather.. the squeezeeing in the car of 13 persons.. and the walking.. we decided to head back hotel a while..

know another important thing we have to do??
we have to keep drink water and water the whole day.. as the drinking water in the hotel not clean at all.. we bought a lot of mineral water..

an hr plus of rest and the sky start to get darker.. we walked to nearby street to have our dinner.. hor fun.. dark noodles, bee hoom.. etc.. and their famous oyster.. to me it taste normal.. actually i didnt take much.. i dont dare.. haha.. look at the Q over there.. a bit long..

after that we walked the night street around.. this location quite a lot of shops closed.. so we head back hotel early.. i think 9pm.. my aunt bought some chicken wings.. i see see see.. ok la.. give me 1.. haha..


Day 3 (Last Day)

Same wake up time.. this time we had Bak Kut Teh for breakfast.. Wahaha.. my favourate... hee.. cost around RM$80 also

after that we went to said gd bye to the aunt there.. then we walked to the streets around.. u know when u go to this kind of places.. u must train ur legs.. the distance is not far like Lot 1 to my house.. but over there.. from 15mins can become an hr.. because the streets are Zip Zap type.. then the cars like endless.. i can tell u driving there must be very skillful.. cut here and there.. more stress in SG..

Lunch again.. we had satay, wu xiang and noodless.. then we went to the famous Tim Kim Hock shop.. it sell local dry food.. i didnt buy much.. lazy to take back.. cause i bought 2 cloth kites @ $10 each.. then few shirts.. then my family bought things too.. must help to carry.. worst is malaysia relatives gave us 5-10 mangoes that they grow to bring back..

around 3 pm.. the transport came.. HSH...

now u see.. how tight the schedule is.. my legs still pain until now..
but it is a not bad trip.. we spent little and we ate a lot.. i think i only spent $150 for the total trip.. cause i bring back some malaysia money..

it took me quite long to write this.. forgive me for the grammer.. just want to cut short. photos tell everythings.. this time round.. i tested my new camera.. so happy.. haha
