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.

Ok, you see the room number? At this time I was starving and need some foods for energy :) So, this was what I got:

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.

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_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!

Then, we drove home and I need to rush. Fai was on the way to kidnap me! Stay tune :)

Candat Sotong

I guess the title might be confusing to some readers, if you know nothing at all about anything related to fishing :)
This event had been organized by my company and it was my first time, of course. To me, it’s a great experience even though I might not repeating the same activity in the future. But who knows?
I’d like too share some pictures with you but not all pictures because it’ll simply make the blog heavy with tons of pictures. 224 pictures to be exact! Fuhh…!
If you want to see all of them, you can click here to see them all. I’ve uploaded them in Facebook. Oh ya! You need to add me as friends first ya :)
Here I share some great moments that I managed to capture during the event. Enjoy :)

Voting time again :)

Yes, I’ve won top 3 in the recent Blog Idol competition and now it’s the 4th round. Hard to predict who’s going to go to the next round as the songs this time are very strong. You can only survive if your song is the one people like the most, or you got a lot of fans :)

Muar

Oh yeah, I’ve forgotten about the trip to Muar even thought there was nothing much to tell. Did I tell you that we were stuck on the Penang bridge from 2.40 until almost 3am because of the stupid road block. Sorry for being very blunt, but seriously I was mad. We started to drive late because we wanted to avoid traffic jam! Sigh.
My youngest sister was the warrior for this trip. She drove till Tapah and we stopped at R&R there for refreshing.
280520104891 I didn’t eat, just drink. Seldom eat anything when travel.
Then, I drove from Tapah until Seremban. We stopped for pee and Dayah took over until Muar. Thanks Dayah! I guess I’m too old for a long, tiring journey. Lucky we got her!
