Malacca Trip: Day 2

Woke up at 6am as it was too COLD!! I went to the living room and played ZS's PSP till about 7am. Then, I went back to sleep. AC woke us up again at 10.30am. We had some snacks for brunch and took turns to shower.

Stupid AC, wake me up from my sleep...

Look at the mess AL, MY and AC made...

The room DY, HX and I slept was much tidier

Worst was ZS who messed up the whole living room all by himself!

We are a bunch of messy people. Lol...

All of them started learning how to play "Monopoly Deal" and started to feel the thrill of it. Glad they liked it. As the maximum number of players were 5, some of us had to sit out. We played till 12.30pm and started packing our stuff.

After clearing the apartment, we went downstairs to check-out.It was already 1.30pm when we checked out. The plan was to have Nyonya food for lunch. After a few rounds, we ended up at "Tan Kim Hock".

Since we were there, we went to have their "Durian Cendol". When we were done, the rest of them went to buy some snacks home. Being the poor one, I didn't buy anything. After that, we left the place and went hunting for Nyonya food.

In the end, we went back to the row of shops near Newton. Went round and round before deciding to eat at "Restoran Nyonya Suan". We ordered some dishes to share and some tea. The food was just okay here, not too great.

After paying the RM 89 bill, we went to a wholesaler to look at some cute stuff. Again, I didn't buy anything here. Next stop was the "Eye on Malaysia". This time we didn't even need a map to lead us there.

It was about 3.45pm when we reached there. DY and HX didn't want to go so only 5 of us went in. Since we had our student cards, we only needed to pay RM 8. Went into a gondola and went spinning for 5 rounds. After about 15 minutes, the ride was over. There was an "Exotic Animal" exhibition there so we went to look at some of the animals.

Left the place and quickly went to our next destination, the Taming Sari Gyro Tower! Yet again, DY and HX didn't want to go. The five of us paid RM10 for the spinning ride. When we were lifted up in the air, it was very nice to see the whole Malacca town.

We all agreed that this is way better than EOM. After turning about 10 rounds, we were brought back to the ground. It was a short ride but we had a lot of fun! Then, it was time for our final stop...

Had some ice cream before continuing our journey!

Drove back to the dumpling store and we ordered cendol. Collected our dumplings and went back to the hotel carpark. DY, HX and AC went back to AC's car. We then said goodbye to the hotel and headed back to KL.

Back at the Nyonya Dumpling shop

Cendol - RM 2.30

I drove for about an hour before letting AL take over. I then took a nap while he drove. We reached BBJ by 7.30pm and started unloading their luggage. We all said bye and went our separate ways.

Final chatters...

Wish we could do this again soon...

Finally I reached home at 8pm. Went upstairs to use the laptop and went to shower. After that, I ate some ice cream while uploading pictures. Blogger was so slow that I had to wait 30 minutes just to upload 5 pictures. While waiting, I also watched YH and chatted.

As I'm typing this post, the pictures are still being uploaded. I won't be posting this until the previous post is complete with pictures. Night...
