yeah...Min smsed me while i was in svc friday night.
i read it after svc,
Min was coming with us!!
yoohoo!! haha
okay...
i went home, packed, and that night..
then i realised my passport was 2 months overdue...
and later that my brother's was 1 month to expiration.
according to Singapore immigration law, we need at least 6months.
so the others had to leave first...
we went to update, and crossed the causeway finally with my uncle's car at 10am plus..
the others were at least 2-3 hrs ahead of us..
according to the arrangement i had wif min, was that she blog, while i host the pics...and we link up...so..once again..her link is...
http://pyynk-princess.blogspot.comcos of the irritating passport delay thing, the whole trip coordination was messed up..
and so me n my bro were very much seperated from the other guys..
so i'll still blog about my part..min will blog the parts that we were all together...
here are the pics...
click on em to see fullsize.

rain clouds

rain - reached malacca at about 2 or 3pm

finally we reached malacca.. first place we went to was Jusco. had out lunch first.
the hotplate was to hot that i melted the fork butt and stuck it there..

my bro n i pushed the trolley up the escalator..something u can't do in singapore..haha
next we went to Tan Kim Hock. some deserts n sweet stuff shop that we never fail to visit everytime we go to malacca.i sat in the car with isaac. and played with the car. haha
my mom n great grandmother.

My Uncle and his baby. Joyden. so cute.

a pic of the beach after we checked in the hotel. and those that arrived earlier were already shopping while my bro n i just walked around the beach..the hotel... this pic dun look too nice..i know.but on the phone it looked ok...its the only onei have..so..

at night, finally it was time for us to all be gathered..we walked the streets at night..cool pics eh..haha..to this eatery who looked really wierd..
u know..usually restaurants have their entrances, dining areas, then kitchen at the very back. but for this, the kitchen was at the roadside. u walked thru the kitchen into the dining area...haha..so from outside u won't even know its a eatery..u'd think its a market..and i nearly walked right pass it.. but at least inside there's aircon..


here inside..everyone's finally together....

Isaac in action

After the meal, min n the rest went another way, cos their cars were somewhere else..so they parted for the hotel first. as we were walkin back to the car, we saw Pasar Malam! so we walked n walked..haha..

and i kept walking with isaac..

till i missed the appointed meeting time. and the youngest till the oldest were waiting for me. they were so sian that they could even take pictures.

of cos, we later found our way back, went to the rest of the guy's room.
(refer to
Min's blog for more info here)
so we had a whole night of fun. brainwork. haha. finally falling asleep at 3am.
then morning came
this is Yolanda still in the mood to play.
and we had 2 sofas facing each other.
yolanda on one and i on the other.
and min in the middle on the floor.

see..me on top, min below. of cos, that was not our sleeping position. it was long after we all woke up. btw..we kinda were lying in a circle facing each other playing cards, and we just flipped around and slept. like the campfire wood arrangement. the hall was big enough...in fact, it was very very big. haha.

we'll see who know who is this in the picture..
Yolanda giving the camera a hi5.
Yolanda again. still abit dazed.. wait till u see the next pic..

she's even more dazed..wahaha!!
the breakfast part. (refer to Min's blog for more info here)
at the coffeeshop
see that triangle dumpling. i bought one..and it was cold..but really sweet n nice..somehthing we dun see and taste in Singapore. haha

outside the coffeeshop

man of the day

we came across some durian place, and we stopped.

the guys were all so sian ji bua..sian half. haha..

so they decided to go sit down. and left no space for me...

here come the durians! Yolanda and Min. Esplanade in malaysia.

feasting..

Adults

Justin Yolanda and mom.

that's me buying glass bottled drinks. the soyabean no taste wan..

the loanshark..

THIS IS MY DAUGHTER!! with her self made pillow.

Isaac at the games..

Yolanda wif my fone. and she held on to my fone till we had to drive to get it back..haha

Min..Dreaming of Juicy..

Justin prefered to sit n read a mag.

Three gals going a "mock reverse bungee"...hahahahaha

if u put it the other way round..looks not bad too.. like flying..haha
shortly after this pic, we left the hotel. and while my n my bro waited in the car, i kinda drove the car up about 5 meters to ring it closer to the entrance..haha..first time drive...
and later, we got loaded up and realised that my phone was still with Yolanda, and their car was set to go straight home, while my family were going to makota shopping..(due to that boliao delay again, the others shopped already, and weren't interested to shop there again.) and well, so our car had to chase up with the other car to get back my hp..haha..
then there they went.. we carried on to shop, i bought 2 shirts. not satisfying. i was hoping for more. but they were either nice but too big, nice but too ex, or cheap but ugly or too big. ah..basically i finally found some in the discount areas thats all lah..haha
we left makota at 4pm plus.. along the way, the sun was setting, and i got to take some nice pics.
notice the moutainous horizon..super nice ah..


thats my uncle's car behind...

they sky's getting darker..

till there was no light..neither were there street lamps at most of the roads. haha...

and we stopped for petrol, bought chewing and bubble gum, and got stuck in a singapore causeway jam. finally, after dropping granny n great granny off, we reached home at 1045pm..
min reached home at 8pm..
for us all, that was a total of 7 hrs from leaving hotel or shopping centre, all the way to home...7hrs crampped in a car...
dad has great stamina...he drove all the way at 110 120 km/h...
it was a fun trip, but without company (min claims that its her) the trip is sian...
like the first part and last part of this trip.
so next time holiday, i will make sure my parents arrange for other families to go along...especially these guys..justin, yolanda, eunice, min, jolene...if not i will protest really loudly...and i dun think i'd go..
a piece of advice, go on holiday with good friends n best friends...if not ur hol will just be sightseeing, and boring..
if there's somebody u dun like or dun really go along well with, pls, dun dun dun go...really..it will be such a misery...of cos, u still have to try to "like" that person somehow..
but some ppl really too much...think the world owe them..and still dun wanna change..(okay..i'll get back to track..)
and as for min...her hands got tired...(as she mentioned in her blog) so i'l help her continue abit...
She actually went for a lunch/dinner, or u could call a lunner.. on the way back, and then to a car wash...and there bought alot of dvd n vcd ah..haha..smuggle back..lol..shh..cannot let police hear... if not cham..haha...
and while in the jam, played the boom number game with car plates(i used to do that last time too..haha)
then when they reached the police check place, they told the police their boot cannot be opened. hahaha...which was true, cos the bumper was dented and blocking the boot...so the policeman just opened the doors n checked..
and so they were home by 8pm. as i said earlier...
i wonder who will bother to read thru this post...
tagg n let me know if u did..haha
and so..picture uploading on blogger is so WOLS opposite.
its now 3.10am and i started at 11.16pm. thats 3hrs 54mins. just for this post...
