Me and Mel after the ride at some totem pole.

No words needed I guess...hehehe...

Overall it was one successful trip and I'm really glad it worked out. Thanks guys for everything! I enjoyed every moment of it and hope we would have more trips to come! Next destination: LA Disneyland!! =P

Till we all meet and gather again...

Malacca Paradise 07 - Part 2

The next morning, we got up at about 8am and started to get ourselves ready and packed up all our things. In the midst of packing, we decided to have some fun...

Murder in the Bedroom! - Take 1

Murder in the Bedroom! - Take 2

After packing up and fooling around, we went back to the same cafe to have our same breakfast (not like we had a choice anyway). After that, we checked out from the apartment and headed for a day of fun in A Famosa Animal World! I have been there before a few years back and the place had some changes since then.

Do you believe in Wishing Wells? Here's A Famosa's Wishing Fountain!

Spot the two parrots behind us!

Hey there! Spotted this fella here in the Wishing Fountain.

Also at the entrance there were 3 cute tiger cubs! There were so so so cute! In order to touch them and have a picture with one of them, you had to pay though...I think it was RM21 per picture...yea...ouch...

After that, we headed off to the Chicken Farm. There were many species of chicken including peacocks, peahens and turkeys in which Mel calls them 'Christmas.' The chickens were all behind glass cages and so me and Mel's faithful Olympus could not take any photos of them. Darren did managed to take some shots with his DSLR though but he did not upload them. Maybe I would convince him to do so...lol...

Here's one picture of us and the cute lil chickadees!

Lookit this lil guy here! Ain't it adorable??

Awww...can I take it home pleassseeee???

Me and 1 parrot species.

After the Bird Show, we took a ferry ride over to Monkey Island to see monkeys! We met Mel's uncle (who runs the place...if i'm not mistaken he owns the place you know...don't play play...) while queuing up for the ferry ride. We chatted a little and then hopped on to the ferry.

Mel, Ben and Darren on the ferry. See the Sony slung over his neck? Yea that's his wife!

This....

...this....

....and this.

Yea...then only did we went to see the monkeys. They were all in this cave behind glass cages and bars so couldn't really take shots of them. It was different the last time I went there because the last time, the monkeys were free to roam about the island. Maybe the monkeys got more vicious now...

We spent a pretty short amount of time on Monkey Island and took the ferry back after that. We were hungry by then as it was around pass noon and so we went to have our lunch. The entrance fee that we paid included lunch for us but the taste was....let's just say it was not appetizing.

After lunch we headed of to watch the Wild Wild West Show. I think the setting was rather nice...looks like a cowboy town...

Me and Mel...this is part of the setting of the show...

The show was rather...erm...lame if you ask me but I think it was set that way to entertain the kids. The effects of the show was quite nice though as they had real horses galloping across and gun shots and a cracking whip. The show lasted pretty long and after that we went back to the entrance through a walk-through path in which various animals are fenced up in the open for tourists to see and photograph them.

Black swans! Too bad they didn't have white ones...

Otter no 1. Otters are just so adorable!

Otter no 2. It's looking directly at me!

Because I have too many pictures, I have to do a Part 3...so to be continued with Part 3!

From the 27th-29th July 07, me, Darren, Mel and Ben went to Malacca A Famosa Resort for a wonderful 3 days - 2 nights stay. It was awesome! One of the best trips ever, maybe not so much of the place but more of the company. Big thank you to dear dear for helping me to organize this trip...couldn't have done it alone!

27th July was a Friday and me and Mel had classes until 5pm. The other two didn't so they went to settle the baggage and stuff before coming to college to pick us up at 5pm. We went for a light meal in Asia Cafe first and then shot off to Malacca in Ben's white Proton Wira. Thanks to the guys' wonderful arrangement skills, we managed to fit 4 of us + 4 baggages + 1 ice box + other miscellanous stuff into the car.

It was a rather interesting journey down to Malacca. Ben drove and Darren guided him as he had the map with me. Me and Mel's duties? We were suppose to keep the guys awake and I think we did a pretty good job. Even though we were sleepy, we fought to stay awake througout the whole journey.

Yea, looks pretty gross I know....

But still, we looked happy eating it!

Our 'darling' retards!

After dinner, we went to bathe and turned in for the night as we had to get up at 7:30am the next morning.

Rise and shine! Out breakfast the next morning at the Sunshine Cafe.

After breakfast, we went back to the apartment and did some camwhoring before leaving for what we have planned for that day....

Me and Mel. Wasted lar your bikini arrived late!

My dear and I.

Mel helping me tie french pleat.

Thanks girl! You did a wonderful job!

At about 10am we left for...A Famosa Water Park!

I love this picture! Like we were in total paradise...

Me and Mel's 'super' pose!

Some of the slides there required us to rent those big tubes and so we decided to rent 2 double tubes for the 4 of us.

Me and my skinny.

We had a time of lives and it was as if we discovered our second childhood. Though it was a pretty small place and we finished everything in about 4 hours or so (which included sitting some slides again, again and again), we had fun screaming like little kids...no wait...worst than little kids! Some of the slides were scary and there was one in which if you don't hold on tight to the tube, you would definitely fly of the slide! At about 2-3pm, we left and returned to the apartment to scrub ourselves clean and get some rest as we had planned for a steamboat dinner that night...not just ordinary steamboat but DIY steamboat!

The chef in action!

His sidekick in action!

Halfway cutting oyster mushrooms also can pose....

The food...there was alot of food by the way. Special thanks to Darren's mum for buying all the food and for teaching him how to prepare the soup.

Ben is hungry...

While waiting for the food to be cooked...

Ooohh...can you smell it from here? Ngek ngek ngek

I guess I don't have to mention how full we were that night. There was just so much food! We watched tv and chatted throughout dinner. At about 9 or 10pm, there was a beautiful display fireworks and our apartment happened to have the perfect view of it! Click *here* to view the pictures that Darren took with his 'wife' - his very dearly beloved camera. After everything, Ben and Mel washed the dishes and cleaned everything up. Thanks guys! After that we all went to bathe and turned in for the night.

Okay...part 2 to be continued!
