Malacca; Weekend trip!

no, I did not take this picture.

Malacca,

oh-my-god. You changed from a dead city to something that's upbeat and fun! I can't believe Jonker Street used to be a street that sells only antiques and people won't go there at all. Now there are people pouring in and the clothes there are really nice. There's this shop, called Jonker Gallery, that features artistic tees designed by artists. I came back the next day and got something for Terry! A t-shirt, of course. :D I still think you might not like it as there are specks of pink on it and it looks kind of feminine. Anyway, this is how it looks like.

what do you think?

I kind of like it though. I wish I got one for myself too! BOY, did we eat a lot! We were walking along the street, we as in Ivan, Phin Hwei and I, and Ivan was screaming away that he's hungry while we were looking at clothes. It is true that a hungry guy is an angry guy. We had chicken rice balls for dinner! After that, we went for some chocolate covered seedless grapes, champagne & honeydew bubble milk tea, ding ding sweets! (Named after the sound made by the tools as they break the sweet into smaller pieces to be sold.), and my failed cotton candy. There's this stall where you can try to make the cotton candy yourself and my cotton candy was uber tiny.

As we walked, we saw a Shih Tzu puppy in a cage and the lady was putting up a sign. Excited, I exclaimed "Omg, Kor (that's what I call Ivan because he's my elder brother.), LOOK. They're selling the puppy for two ringgit only! (Approximately USD 0.75)" To which Ivan replied "In your dreams." That lady moved and I finally read the thing written on the sign. Take photograph with puppy, RM 2. Poor puppy! She was using it to earn some money. D;

Next stop, shopping centre! We went through the same road three times. CHREEEEE effin' times. Why? I admit, the first time was my fault because I told Ivan I wanted to go to the bigger mall. Obviously there are more things in the bigger mall, right? And Ivan took a wrong turn because of my lousy sense of direction. We had to go one big round to get back to the mall again. Ivan was following the instructions given by the GPS blindly when we got there for the second time. He was asking us if he should park or not. Since we're there, Pingu and I said that we should look for a parking space already. Again, we went on another joyride before getting there 30 minutes before closing. But it was fun! We window shopped for a little.

Note to self: I need to get more shorts and feminine tops. No more tees, please.

The hotel room was pretty! However, I couldn't sleep at all and I kept waking up at night for some odd reason. Had the most disturbing nightmare ever. In the morning, we went to the restaurant to get some breakfast. Ahh, how I miss you eat-all-you-can-for-free buffet breakfast!~ Mom asked us to pack some food. Since we're not allowed to take away food from the restaurant, I had to sneak it into my bag. Ivan said I'm like the thief that's trying to steal food. He was being racist and saying mean stuffs. He didn't want to help me initially. When I asked him to do it, he was foolish enough to open my bag wide enough to let everyone see that I have another bag for food in my bag. Le sigh!

love, von.
