Complaint about Paradise Village apartment in Malacca

Yeah, what a title. Long and crappy.
Ok, I showed you before some great pictures of this apartment but behind those pictures, there are lies beneath. Haha now, it sounds like a movie title.
Let the pictures speak:
300520104910Flooded?
300520104911 The elevator not working?
300520104912 This is the pathway to our apartment. No proper way that could make you feel welcomed.
300520104913See properly all the windows!
300520104914 At the lobby
300520104915300520104916300520104917300520104918300520104919 The car park :)
IMG_2336 Dusty table
IMG_2339Yuck!
IMG_2340No curtain?
IMG_2341Whoa!
IMG_2342 This is suppose to be a shower room, but there is no glasses cover it at all. Weird.
My dad got more pictures but I guess the pictures here already can prove that it’s not a good apartment to stay. So, if you’re going to stay in an apartment, avoid this one ya!

Met Fai and the gang

Still remember Fai?
Yes, I met her and the gang when I was in Malacca. Right after dinner, I rushed back to apartment and got ready. Then we went to Bandar Hilir. The plan was to walk around Jonker Street but because we reached there around 12, so they already closed. Nevermind, there’s always next time, right? :)
All of them want to go to toilet. We stop somewhere near A Famosa but sadly the Ladies closed. Haha guess what? They went into Gents :P Luckily the guy at the counter understood and allowed them.
Unfortunately, right after they done with their stuff, it was raining there. We stuck there, near the toilet and nothing to do. Fai suggested we cam whoring while waiting for the rain to stop, at least not so heavy -- so that we can run to the car which we parked not so far away :)

After the rain stopped. We drove to lepak place. Lucky, I was with them, at least I could explore more of Malacca :) They took me to a famous Roti John & Ayam Golek stall. Imagine this… in the coldness after heavy rain and the aircond in the car, we could eat hot Roti John and tasty Ayam Golek with hot Nescafe :) Yummy! Heaven, let me tell you!
300520104908 300520104909Sorry for parkinson-caused-by-hungry pictures :P
In the pictures, it might looks just ok but trust me… you surely order another plate for this super delicious Roti John! Even though I had dinner earlier with family, I still manage to eat a lot haha! Don’t blame me but the roti itself!
Then we went to Fai’s house to meet her dad and she wanted to grab some stuff as the gang wanted to kidnap her :) I was about to be kidnapped too! Haha lucky I was strong enough to resist.
Btw, on the way to her house from the Roti John stall, we saw a woman beside the road which no house or shop around there. Only me and Fai saw her but not others. Weird isn’t it? Too bad I didn’t manage to snap her picture for blog :)
Then, they sent me back to the apartment where I stayed in Malacca. I got some goodies from Fai.
IMG_2343IMG_2346 Brownies and coconut jelly! I want more haha! So yummy!

Thanks to Fai and the gang for taking me out that night and the meal! :) I really appreciate it and it’s my turn when you guys come to Penang ok?

Malacca Day 2

(Warning: Full with pictures!)
Still remember Malacca Day 1?
I’ve been very busy lately with works, personal activity and photography. I really hope to learn more about photography and that this expensive hobby can earn me some money :) Who knows?
The second day there, I woke up up pretty early. Around 8am. No? Haha, at least it’s early for me during weekend. Everybody was still in bed, and I brought my DSLR and snap some pictures outside.
IMG_2106IMG_2108 IMG_2112IMG_2113 IMG_2114 IMG_2115 IMG_2122 IMG_2124 IMG_2126 IMG_2140 IMG_2143 IMG_2146 IMG_2147 IMG_2154 IMG_2155IMG_2156 IMG_2158 IMG_2161IMG_2165
Ok, you see the room number? At this time I was starving and need some foods for energy :) So, this was what I got:
IMG_2182
Yes, this is Otak-Otak. I always think Otak-Otak Kempas is the best but I was wrong. This one taste almost the same, or maybe better? I like it a lot!
After eating some Otak-Otak, we went out to town. To eat the best Asam Pedas and walking around the city for some photography.
IMG_2183IMG_2184
Self portrait time! :)
We drove to Bandar Hilir but the town was very crowded. We took about 1 hour to find parking but thank God as we were searching for the parking, we found Mah Asam Pedas! We quickly find parking not far from there and walked to the restaurant.
IMG_2185Asam Pedas Tenggiri
IMG_2186 Asam Pedas Terubok, my favorite!!!
IMG_2187 Asam Pedas Tetel! It’s beef :)
IMG_2189 Some bean sprout
IMG_2191 Some tempe and liver
Right after I tasted the asam pedas, I called the owner and asked her whether this shop was the same one as the one I ate in front of A.Famosa. She laughed and said “Yes!”. Thank God! As I was seeking for this asam pedas for ages after the stalls around there had been demolished for some reasons. I’ve been craving for it since then, and couldn’t find it even after few times I came to Malacca. Oh yeah, I want to see Portuguese Village and the event too! :( Wonder when I could experience that…
After eating, we walked to the “heart” of the city. I guess :)
IMG_2193 IMG_2196 IMG_2197IMG_2198IMG_2200IMG_2203 Dad was sweating like crazy. I was worried that he was too tired and could faint at any time… diabetes.

After tired walking here and there, we went to the snacks center to buy some snacks and clothes for niece and friends.
\IMG_2282IMG_2288 IMG_2294 IMG_2299
That was the last view of the city before we drove somewhere near our apartment for dinner. I got sms from Fai Zakaria invited my family and I for seafood dinner and she was willing to give me direction to the restaurant. I appreciated it but we were stink and tired. In fact, mum was shy… but right after I sms her back won’t be joining them, mum said agree. Haha! Mum!! But, I stick to the plan, not joining them. Maybe next time ya!
So, we drove to the place that we ate dinner the night before. But this time, we changed stall. We sat at the other side and these were the menu for that night :)
 IMG_2303It was tasty!
IMG_2309 Lenchee Kang with macaroni???
IMG_2321IMG_2325IMG_2327
Then, we drove home and I need to rush. Fai was on the way to kidnap me! Stay tune :)
