Malacca Escapade!



On our quest to explore the beauty of Malacca...



September 10- 11, 2011


We gathered at Asia Jaya LRT station around 6:40am  and then headed to Masjid Jamek.

It was supposed to be 5:45am for the meet up (as suggested by our friend, Maco)....but it turned out to be later than the original scheduled time... ;-)

puyat si Roy ( pero di raw siya excited nyan! hahaha)


After reaching M.Jamek, we had a short stop at McDonald's for a take-out breakfast.

Anything goes...as long as we have the camera,we're ready to pose!


 Then went straight to TBS ( Terminal Bersepadu Selatan)....

Looks like I'm lost  but I wasn't... ( mukhang tanga lang)


 At 8:10 in the morning, we departed from TBS.


On the bus going to Melaka








 We reached in Melaka Central Station ( MCS ) at exactly 9:50am . 







We rented 2 taxis for a tour and the 8 of us got to visit some of the well-known places within the city. 
Here are some of the tourist spots we've been to:



St. Peter's Church ...













  




Bukit China...















I know I look stupid here...

same as this... ;-)



Chinese Temple...








                    






                  







Saint John's Hill...




















Portugese Settlement...







                             





Jonker  Walk ...







 




Christ Church ...

























Arrived at A-Famosa (past 3pm)...

But wait...there's more! I wonder where those other pictures are....





...After the long day, it was finally time for me to sleep...and that was already 2:30 in the morning!

Woke up last ( I think) among the group...around 7 am.


Supposed to have a safari tour  but because of the heavy rain ( which I indeed hate the most in times like this), we just decided to stay in the condo and watched a comedy film.

It's already 12 noon and it was  time for us to check -out.... ='(




On our way out of  A Famosa...

departed from A Famosa around 12:30 nn

We reached at the Melaka Central Station  around past 1 o' clock...Had lunch at past 2pm...and went on our way back to KL at 3:10pm.

Since there was a terrible traffic jam, we reached at TBS around 6pm. Then I reached home at 7:30pm. Fortunately, it was my replacement off the following day so I had the time to relax and rest the whole night.



It was another great experience for me especially being with those guys na " walang arte" as they say. I had a memorable time with them to which I consider priceless!.. For a moment, I forgot that I was away from home and it felt so good to get away from all the stress and pressure brought about by working abroad.

Hope I could have another chance to get a time-off from work and make another exciting adventure in exploring not only Malaysia but some other countries as well.. ^_^
