Kerry, one of the American girls from the Peacemaker VBS Team dropped by Malaysia with her friend for a visit!!!!!!!!! :)
We were all so excited, haven't seen her for more than a year!!!!!!!!!
So she and her friend, Chrissie, arrived in Malaysia on Wednesday morning...they are staying at Pastor Wong's place...
So Sarah, my sister and I have been planning things for them, and Sarah wanted to take them to Malacca. We started planning and discussing this Malacca trip only last Sunday!!!!!!!!! :P
We could have came to a decision quicker if Sarah had asked them first if they would be too tired to make a trip to Malacca the same day they arrive in Malaysia.
The thing was, Sarah only had to work until 12 something on Wednesday, and yesterday(Thursday) she had a holiday..so Wednesday and Thursday was a good time to plan a trip.
But we were so unsure whether the girls will be really tired and jet lag...it was sooooo hard to decide, Sarah even thought of just making a day trip there on Thursday instead...but we figured it will be too rush and also we can't all fit in her car. ):
Finally we decided to just go ahead and plan the trip, and we decided to buy bus tickets instead...and Mummy managed to book Puri Hotel for us!!!!! (:
So on Wednesday, Sarah, Sam, Kerry, Chrissie, Jie and Me left for Malacca on the 4:30pm Transnasional bus... :)
And arrived in Centra Malacca at about 7-nish.. :D
After that we took two cabs to Puri Hotel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Puri Hotel is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! It's pretty reasonable I guess, and the rooms are really clean...only thing was, it was a bit musty...
Anyway, I guess all of us enjoyed Puri Hotel, and we will definitely stay in that hotel if we ever go back to Malacca again!!!!!!! :D
The hotel used to be a house owned by some baba-nyonya guy I think... :D You can check it up on Google....
Unfortunately we didn't get rooms side by side...only two rooms were next to each other and the other room was one floor below...saddddd.. :(
Sam and Sarah took the room below and Kerry and Chrissie and Jie and Me took the rooms above...
There was a door connecting our two rooms together!!!!!!!! We unlocked the door and we can enter each other's rooms without having to enter through the main door!!!!!! That was nice... :D
After freshening up we met downstairs about 15 mins later to walk to Jonker Street for dinner...
We had Chicken Rice Balls!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDD
And we had fun at that restaurant because we did kinda of like a revolving video.. Sam had this gorilla tripod thingy, and it had wheels so we sat at a round table and spinned the camera around and we had a revolving video!!!!!! :D We kinda of just did hellos and laughs and some talking...it was fun.. :)
We were hoping that the shops at Jonker Street were still open at night but apparently not so we headed back to the hotel...and we sat at the lounge area to play CARDS...
We played SPOONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome game, except we changed the spoons to pens since we didn't have any spoons.. :)
I didn't get a single letter!!!!!!!!! The rest all had SP's, or SPO's or SPOO's and finally SPOONS!!!! :P Chrissie got SPOONS first...
At first Sam and I were the only ones who maintained a zero letter, then later he got two letters... hahahaha...they were all trying to get me to get a letter, but I didn't.. :)
Guess what, there was FREE WiFi downstairs, and they provide two Mac's for those who stay there...if there are people waiting we can only use it for 15 mins...but no one wanted to use whenever I wanted to use so I could use as long as I wanted to. :D Awesomeeeee!!!!!
We played and hanged about there until it got quite late like 11 and then we all went back to our rooms to bathe and sleep...
Unfortunately I didn't bring along a hairdryer and it was quite late to go downstairs to the main desk and ask for a hairdryer so I had to wait until my hair dried first before I could sleep..that was about 1am in the morning when it so called dried..
I was sooooo tired by that time, and plop down on the bed...next thing I knew was, there was this MOST ANNOYING MOSQUITO BUZZING INTO MY EAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know how annoying and irritating it is to have a mosquito buzzing into your ear when you want to sleep?????
I had to get up and call my sister and we tried to look for it, but it didn't wanna come out with all the lights...
In the end we left the light near the door on and my sister went back to sleep..I was almost going to sleep when I suddenly SAW THE MOSQUITO!!!!!!!! I tired to catch it but failed...then came the long waiting game of waiting for the mosquito to make its appearance again...
Each time it appears it goes away for about 5 mins and then comes back again, I tried easily 5 times to catch it but it always flies to a dark corner...
I couldn't stand it anymore I was soooooo groggy, in the end I fell asleep with the light still on, and without catching the mosquito...
Thank God I didn't get any bites... :) I woke up at about 7 and then went back to sleep and woke up at 7:45 am...then got up and got ready because we all agreed to meet for breakfast at 8:30 am..
The hotel provided breakfast for us!!!!! It was a yummy breakfast, so many things to choose and eat.. :D
We planned to sight-see the farther historical places after breakfast so that we won't need to carry our backpacks with us....but that plan failed because we figured it was better to check out in the morning and then we could do whatever we want instead of checking out at the 12(that was the checking out time) and having to come back all the way to the hotel to check out...
So we had to carry all our stuff with us which, was ok at first but later it got a bit heavy but ah well, I survived.. :D
We went by foot to all the places we wanted to go to...all the historical places.. :D
And after lunch we went to some shops and then headed to the roundabout to get taxis to Malacca Central again...
I know we really had a short trip, it was like 24 hours in Malacca only.. :(
We were all quite tired, and I guess most of us slept in the bus??? I wanted to sleep earlier but the bus driver played a comedy movie on the bus and I wanted to finish watching it so I guess I only took about a 15 min nap.. :D
And guess what, Aunty Constance invited us all to her place for dinner, so my parents drove two cars and picked all of us up from the bus stop and headed straight to the Wong's place!!!!!!! :D
The first thing we wanted to do when we got there was to BATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D We all hit the showers, that is only four of us, Sam, Jie, Chrissie, and Me!!!
Kerry and Sarah showered after we left... :)
Aaahhh it was good to feel clean!!!!!!! :)
Dinner was a FEAST!!!!!! Pumpkin soup, baked bolognese rice, lamb, and salad!!!!!!!! It was sooooo yummy!!!!!!!! :D
We headed home soon after because everybody was tired too... :P
So that's about all we did at Malacca, nothing much, tiring, but still AWESOME FUN!!!!!! :)
Pictures!!!!!!!! :) I stole all the pics from Sam, he was the only one who took pictures for us, I didn't take any.. :) So all these are from his camera.. :) Enjoy, not many though!!!! :)
