Melaka was fun as always, but tiring because of all the walking.
This year May and I went out every night. I tried satay celup for the first time ever. Can you believe it? 18 years of going back to Malacca, and I've NEVER tried satay celup. I blame it on my health-freak parents. Even in Klang, the ONLY place we ever go to for dinner is Nyonya Kitchen in Bayu, cos apparently they have less oil less salt less ajinomoto whatevernot. We go there for regular dinners, birthdays, family gatherings, to entertain guests, anything. I told my dad once that I could order in my sleep la. He just laughed it off.
But anyway my point is, we never really go out to try the food in Melaka. It's only two years ago that I tried durian cendol in Jonker, and we've only eaten chicken rice balls once. And it's no big deal la really. I think the best chicken rice is still Kin Sun la. heheh! This year May and I queued under the hot sun (QUEUED ok) at some corner shop to tapau the balls, and then later only the guy told us they ran out of it *roll eyes* Cis. And for satay celup I didn't even eat a lot cos I already ate dinner before that, so quite the wasted la. I could have tried Pat's ikan bakar also if I had met up with her and Kwang Yew and Ivan. But I didn't. Because of the satay celup. Which I didn't even eat a lot of. Aiyah!
This year we went Jonker at night and sat at the outdoor bars to wait for my other cousin to bring us to the cinema. The bars on Jonker are so cool. We saw old people doing the joget to some loud techno song, and the ang mohs cheering them on. Quite cool eh. Joget. At the bar. haha. I was so so tempted to take a sip out of my cousin's Carlsberg, just to know what beer tastes like. But I've got very good self-control you know? And we saw a Simon Cowell lookalike! I quite like sitting there people-watching. It's got a very nice vibe, quite unlike the regular clubs in KL. Not like I've ever been to anywhere other than Laundry, but I think Jonker is really more relaxed and friendly and drug-less compared to the booze-infused drug-filled KL ones. Jonker's nightlife during CNY is really really cool. Pasar malam sells everything at really cheap prices. There are SO many people it's suffocating. But that's what makes Jonker Jonker. =)
We watched CJ7 at the cinema after Jonker. The cinema is quite pathetic la actually. The only other movies to watch are kung fu dunk and some other... forgettable stuff. So sad. I didn't even wanna watch CJ7, but I thought whatever la. Let's just blow 10 bucks on something I would NEVER watch in Klang. Lagipun May was going and I didn't wanna stay at home alone. So yeah, I was quite disappointed la. Slow moving movies with cutie chicken little lookalikes aren't really my cup of tea. But I have to admit the movie was heartwarming and tearjerking. Good family movie with just values. Oh and I just found out today the main actor in the movie is actually a girl. Ah HAH! May and I were talking about how he'd grow up to be really hot. Hmmmm...
My little nieces and nephew. The little guy there? We call him samurai. Cos he was really big sized when he was a baby and he looked like some Japanese samurai. hehe. The most adorable-est cutest kid in the world. His smile just lights up your day.
The first day we went swimming. My sis and I swam while May amused herself with my camera.
May amusing herself... XD
And she took some random shots of people around. I think these two are real funny =)
SUCH an adorable little thing!
A random, accidental yoga shot.
This is my favourite shot of the whole trip. It took patience, professionalism and experience to achieve this ok.
This is pretty cool too.
May and my sis
haha lookie at my sis. Just look at her la. haha! Drama queen la!
Maymay, my favouritest cousin of all time!
Taking this was quite scary. But it turned out really good.
I can't wait for next CNY! Melaka rocks my smelly socks!

Today I prayed like I've never prayed before. It was so refreshing to just come before the Lord and cry and pour out all my burdens on Him. I've never prayed for my family, friends and for the youth of Grace Klg like I prayed today. I have a lot of things to say but maybe tomorrow. It just feels so so great to cry before the Lord. I need to rediscover the joy of real prayer. All of us need to.
