Malacca road trip..

Hubby's ex colleagues planned a road trip to Malacca... and we decided to tag along.. :) it's our first time driving in to M'sia and I was rather worried abt car safety issues... and of coz the NS highway accidents.. :P

it's a 2D1N trip.. we packed really light for the adults.. but for PH, he got 1 bagful of tibits, milo, milk, water etc etc, another bag of diapers n clothes.. :P hubby said tt in future, it will be better to plan for longer vacation rather than 2D1N so that it's more worthwhile packing.. hahaha.. :P luckily we r driving in.. won't need to lug all these stuffs up n down the car other than check in.. :P

starting of the trip.. bringing his fav bolster definitely made my life easier.. he had a gd time playing with his bolster.. :)



he insisted on taking of photo of himself snuggling his fav bolster.. :P



took 2 hours plus to drive fr Singapore Tuas checkpoint to Malacca.. the traffic condition was gd.. no jam at the checkpoints.. phew...... :) PH slept for half the journey.. :) woke up when we reached Malacca.. had yummy Nonya lunch at Nancy's Kitchen... i love their chap chye.. very nice.. popiah was gd too.. also tried buah keluak... taste okie lah.. juz like some spices only... not really special.. :P ohhh.. not forgetting the otah... :) i'm not an otah person.. but their otah is really nice.. soft like beancurd.. unlike the ones in s'pore... :) tried ondeh ondeh too... yum yum.. better than any ondeh ondeh i have eaten in s'pore... the skin is really thin.. and there's this special fragrance.. really yummy.. :)

taken juz aft our yummy lunch.. :)



chendol.. yummy!! PH had quite a few mouthful too.. :P



check in to hotel aft our lunch n dessert.. :P PH feeling refreshed aft a nice shower... :)



went to a nice cake shop aft we checked in.. :) their speciality is crepe 'cake'.. layers n layers of crepes were stack on top on one another with a thin layer of vanilla cream in between each layer.. super yummy.. :) another of their specialities is strawberry shortcake... i love it.. :) so much so that we went back to the cake shop again before we start our journey back home.. :P

aft the cake shop, it's free n easy at mahkota parade plaza and Melaka Mega Mall.. :) bought a few pair of sleeping pants for both my kids and 2 rompers for the little one @ only RM32 at FOS outlet.. :) went to Mega Mall to shop n chance upon the kiddy rides.. :) it's so cheap.. animal tu tu train ride ard the mall for only RM2 per person.. papa n PH enjoyed the ride together while mama rest at the fountain nearby.. :P

notice how PH's smile look like? this is how he smile when requested... he's now learning how to smile.. looks kinda weird... reminds me of my youngest sis when she was learning how to smile.. :P those '肉紧' espression... hahahahahahahhahaha... :P



controlling his own elephant ride.. cheap cheap cheap... oso only RM 2 per ride... it's S$2 in S'pore lor... no wonder s'porean becomes bird in m'sia cheaping (chirping) away... hahahaha... :P



went to Ujong Pasir Big Benz seafood restaurant for dinner aft the shopping trip.. :) the scenery looks so much like east coast park we almost thot tt we were back in s'pore liao.. :P food was so so.. not very very fantastic.. not something i will purposely travel to Malacca for.. :P but their Cheese crab is interesting.. love the rich buttery cheesy taste.. :) garlic prawn was so so.. prawn not tt fresh leh..

PH had fun playing catching with gor gor at the open space near the restaurant.. the boy is constantly testing our limits.. purposely ran far far away so tt his poor papa got to run aft him to pull him back.. kept trying to challange us until i scolded him.. hai.. somehow reminded me of nemo.. :P

Day 2, the grp planned to go to sepang for go kart.. but since i'm preg n PH's too young to join in, we decided to drop out of it n make our own way ard Malacca.. had early breakfast n went to Eye on Malaysia.. we got there early and it was not opened yet.. so went to the beach nearby..



PH insisted on walking on his own.. quite a careful little boy.. if he feels unsure, he will request for papa to hold his hand.. :P or shd we say he's kiasi?? hahahaha... :P



there's an auntie there with her daughter throwing pebbles into the sea.. PH saw it n decided to follow.. but, he got no strength.. all his throwing ( no matter how hard he tried) only went into the rock crevices few steps away fr him.. :P none went into the sea... hahahaha... :P



made our way to Eye on Malaysia the moment it opened.. became one of the first few customers of the day.. :P there's special rate of 50% discount to Malaysians.. without checking our ID, the customer service officer charged us special Malaysian's rate.. hehehe.. :) so instead of paying RM20 per adult, we only paid RM10 per adult.. hehehe.. :P hubby said must be due to me.. i got 'international' face.. when i'm in China, i looked like a chinese.. when in Malaysia, i looked like Malaysian.. :P i discovered this during Uni years.. :P often being mistaken as M'sian or PRC.. many were surprised when they realised tt i'm a Singaporean... hahahaha.. :P



in the cabin... :) we went round n round until i lost count.. :P initially, we were still quite excited.. aft going for 2 rounds, we were wondering when we can alight.. :P there's nothing much to see.. i think Singapore flyer's scenery is much nicer.. :P





papa bought ice cream aft the ride... PH took over the 'ownership' of it.. :P



asking for the ice cream when papa took it back.. :P



had chicken rice for lunch at Jonker's walk.. saw the fishball look-alike thingy? it's actually chicken rice ball.. taste okie lah.. the rice is not as oily as the one in Singapore.. but it's not especially gd lor... :P i think i still prefer s'pore's style.. :P



nice interior though.. :)







went to the cake shop for more yummy crepe cakes and started our journey back home.. :) PH was so tired tt he slept all the way fr Malacca back to Singapore.. hehehe.. :) mama was tired n fell asleep too... during the 40min when mama slept, papa took the chance to speed... :P journey back home was faster due to this.. :P but we were stucked at Woodlands checkpoint for almost an hour due to the stringent security checks at Singapore immigration... :( by the time we finally touch home ground, it's already 5pm... :P

overall, had fun eating n eating n eating.. :P din really do much sightseeing.. but we did see alot of the street sights while getting lost n trying to find our way out of the single direction roads... :P

okie... complete updating.. :P sleepy liao... :P
