Shoeboxes: Malacca & Travel

Warning: Long post with Lots of Pics!

As much as I "complaint" about how I had absolutely NO Raya holidays, since I actually only am getting Monday off, I reckon I manage to achieve quite a bit over the weekend. A group of 5 of us went for a day trip to Malacca on Sat, in which i took like 160++ photos, as much as i want to think my readers love reading this blog or love me, i doubt they would want to go through all the pictures? - correct me if i'm wrong. Anyway the Malacca trip should be worthy of 2 post =) we'll see. On Sunday, woke up at 6am and drove my siblings back to Kuantan to surprise my parents and just got to KL a couple of hours ago.

Malacca & Travel, well, the last time i visited this place was when i was like 12/13 years old, i must say, nothing much has changed, its suppose to be a historic city anyway, no? Since this post is entitled 'travel' here goes...Let me remind you of those history classes in primary & secondary school in which most of us dreaded..

Me in front of Christ Church

Me & Eisen in front of Victoria Fountain (and he, obviously trying to show that his a whole lot taller, do NOTICE that he is standing on elevated ground, not that i would actually be taller if he didn't =P)

and if this doesn't illustrate how petite i am, i have no idea what else would, i can fit in a hole in the wall!

Eisen & Jeff in front of the Fort at St John's Hill

Dutch graveyard (I seriously wasn't going to pose in this picture, these people died in the 1600s or earlier, it's just a lil eery, if you look closely, it looks like, they didn't dig and bury the bodies, but place the coffin on the ground and just cement it all around and painted it white)

Some temple...

Eisen in the fort on the hill (according to Thai, this is where they looked out for sea attack?)

Another view of the fort, and this picture is only here, cause i like it..hehe

Evidence of me climbing up St John's hill, and if you were 2 i would give you a candy for spotting where I am, but i'm sure none of my readers are...and standing over there on the right, is St John

Here is where they shouted "Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka" back in 1957 @ Melaka (near Mahkota Parade)

Jonker Walk, me and Thai, our local tourguide of the day, and fellow intern at GE =)

Thai's School

I was trying so hard to take picture in front of this flour mill - by the way, there is nothing historic about this... (and it never seem to clear up, i mean the space, and i overheard a mummy telling her daughter to pose properly as she needs to paste the photo in a school project, so i had to settle with a bunch of random people in my picture)

Cheng Ho Museum (If you don't remember who he was, you are either, not Malaysian, or you might need to go open your history textbook again!)

Eisen, was searching for humongous canons to pose with, (for obvious reasons *ahems*) but this is pretty much the largest he found i reckon...

Me in a tunnel

Iguana, this man was charging Rm3, if you wanted to pose with his pet...i on the other hand, was contented with a pic OF his pet!

The cars i mean car we traveled in...erm..not sure which one...right? left? haha...it has GPS which is so much cooler than the one i have in Phinnaeus (my pda-phone)
