Welcome To....: Updates Updates !!!

Warning - LOTS OF PICTURES! LOADING MIGHT BE SLOW

NOTE: I am not, I repeat, NOT criticizing about my gf's aunty decision to book the place and how it was handled. These are my opinions about A'Famosa.

Sorry for the long absence as I was on a looooooooooooong holiday. I finally have some time to update my blog. How are you guys doing? My back and tricep is aching from last Monday's workout, which I like it. Makes you feel as though you've worked your ass off during your workout session. I did Back, Triceps and Legs.

29.01.2009
I was at Malacca for my Chinese New Year holiday with my gf, her family and relatives. I had the privilege to drive my gf's Vios. We started our journey around 9.00am on Thursday, 29.01.2009. Stopped once at a rest area for Pedas/Linggi and I noticed this sign board. Of course I knew it was for the disabled but I parked there anyway. But I haven't seen the word "OKU" before. Call me "jakun" but its the truth. Since when the word OKU became the abbreviation for Orang Kurang Upaya?

w00t

We arrived at Ayer Keroh and waited for everyone else to arrive at the Taman Buaya/McDonald to have some food. Surprisingly, their Prosperity Chicken burger was GOOD! Look at the size of the chicken patty.

KFC, do you see this? THIS is what you should be doing in reality and not just in advertisement

Even the ice cream was nicer than the one we get in 1 Utama.

With our stomachs filled, we walked to Taman Buaya, just to let my gf's niece look around. The place is not really maintained. The guard wasn't really "guarding". Anyone could easily walk into the entrance and straight into the crocodile viewing area.

But anyway, once we were done with the crocodile farm, we moved on to a chinese temple which I didn't know its name. We followed one of my gf's uncle's car and the place was actually Perigi Hang Li Poh and the temple was the one next to it.

Eh, take my photo pulak

Together - gether of course

I know I have been in and out of Malacca VERY often last time as my grandma's place is at Bukit Beruang but its been so long since we last visited some places. The temple was pretty crowded as tourist were everywhere that day.

Entrance of the temple

Next stop, Maritime museum..but we didnt enter. Had a quick meal at some near by food court(Malay food) before we walked around the area. There were so many changes since my last visit. For example, this

Yes, its a guy fishing

After that, we visited St.John's Fort which was just around the corner from the water wheel. We visited all these places when it was like 2.30pm and it was HOT. We walked towards the hill and finally, the famous status of St. Paul.

A tourist was kind enough to help us take this picture. Tenkiu

I remember this guy. He has been busking here for a LONG time. I donated RM1 and took a quick photo. :D Cheerful chap.

Happy Valentine's Day? Soon?

Here comes the picture spamming. Too lazy to explain everything but let's just say we walked alot and the weather was freaking hot.

Nothing much to do here except if you plan to sit that er..."thing"

If only we knew that there was a new food court here, we wouldn't have ate at the food court with just Malay food earlier.

Panas Panas....some shed at least

When was this here? ROFL

After visiting all those places, it was time to head over to A'Famosa. We used the Alor Gajah and Tampin road to get there. I got lost at one point and had to call my cousin Nicholas for some directions. Took about 40minutes to reach A'Famosa but nevertheless, the place looks nice.

LOCATION: HERE

Entrance of the resort

The lobby area

Guess what, we didnt stay at the main resort la. My gf's aunt booked 2 condominium called D'Savoy. Sadly, I didn't take pictures of the place which I should have. Too many people were around and we were tired. I know I know, how hard could snapping a few pictures be? But at that time, I wasn't quite thinking about blogging it and I was tired after all the driving and walking.

Nevertheless, the condo was CLEAN. Not too shabby. The mini fridge was not working properly. Although it can be turned on, it wasn't cold. There was a TV, probably 21". Channels available was a mixture of Astro channels and local TV stations.

What happened to Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia????? Oh wait, they wrote in Jawi instead.

Ok la...not too bad

We showered, had some bread and cereal drink before dinner. Rested till about 7.00pm before we all headed out to "Cowboy Town" where I was expecting to have some food for dinner. To my horror, none of them were going to eat. NONE. I thought we would be eating dinner but that was IT. NO FOOD. I don't mind how shitty the food may be but with my metabolism rate, trust me, I was fucking hungry. Sorry to use harsh words but yeah, a way of expressing how I felt. I am partially worried about catabolism but fuck that, I'm just hungry!

Cowboy Town

Some dance performed by a mixture of REAL lady and Ah Kua

Even the horse was bored (=.=")

Crowded =.= on a Thursday night...after all its still holiday for most of us.

Lion Dance as it was still CNY

Picture with my sayang

Did you miss this?

Pony for the kids. Smelly though.

We made our way to the carnival area where they will have some performances and stuff. Had to pass through the Shopping Village where we bought nothing.

Fucking crowded. =.=

Honestly, the carnival was bullshit or may be I'm just growing up too fast? You judge for yourself. Here comes the pictures:

Ah Kua with fake big boobs

Ah Kua in cowboy attire dancing "YEE HAA"

Chickens that I can't eat as KFC

WTF?

Ok this is fine in carnivals

Bring in the cats

Camels included

Monkey doing funny faces

"Red Indian" doing Yoga Flame (Dhalsim's descendant perhaps).

Running dog

Batman Monkey

Happy elephants

=.=

Cheap

The show ended with some 3 - 4 minutes fireworks which was nice. I recorded the video but I think it will take awhile to load at youtube but here it is anyway:

I slept as soon as I got back to the condo. I was seriously tired and lack of food > hibernation mode :D

30.01.2009

Woke up around 7.30am, showered and got ready to follow my gf and some of her relatives to Tampin to buy some food. Yes, FOOD AT LAST. My mind was filled with joy that I forgot to take pictures again. Hungry > blog MUAHAHA.We bought lots of pau, siu mai, lou mai kai and soya bean drinks. Pau never tasted this good ROFL.

After breakfast, we went for the animal park this time. Yes, Animal shows...what did you expect? First stop, Elephant show but we were late....only manage to watch the last few acts.

Female Elephant whacking the guy's balls

Mashing his dick :p

The rest are just random pictures of whatever we saw at the Animal park.

:D It hopped over to my camera hehe

ZZZZZZzzzzzzz

Wazzup

Chilling

With the bad economy, smaller cat and smaller ring of fire was used.

The bear got to drink Diet Coke wei...

I was too late to capture the front view $@T#$%%$^#$%#

On some boat ride to Monkey Island

Manage to capture 1 nice shot of the peacock at "Monkey Island"

Ok here comes the monkeys. The whole place smelled really bad...with all the shit....doh

As soon as we got back to the main place from Monkey Island, we went for some Safari thingy. Pretty long queue as everyone was waiting for their turn to board the truck. Me and 1 of my gf's cousin had to stand because that particular truck didn't have enough seats.
