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.
At Masjid Jamek LRT station |
Anything goes...as long as we have the camera,we're ready to pose! |
Then went straight to TBS ( Terminal Bersepadu Selatan)....

TBS
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.. ^_^
