Saga De Malacca

I can't say the Easter trip to Malacca was amazing fun but it did began with a bang. I can foresee that we'll be repeating this saga quite a bit over coffeeshop chats. All in all, i did enjoy myself.

Like i mentioned earlier, we were intending to take "Alibaba's" mini bus up but after crossing the Causeway, we happily thought we were all geared and ready for the 2 hours drive. We couldn't be more wrong. We were pulled over by the Malaysian traffic police just as we exited the customs. Apparently, the license for the bus to cross over to our neighbouring country expired. In the usual Malaysian fashion, they had a long chat with us, putting up the usual show that they can't take bribes and all. In the end, we had to be escorted by the traffic police back to Singapore land. When we were dropping that traffic police off, we found out that we still had to pay like RM 500 to appease him even if it means that we still got to go back home and take the cars.

So we came back and took the cars. Monkey's car was alright, nice car but trust me, if you had to be stuck in the back seat with the sun tanning your right arm, it wasn't something i was looking forward to. I wished we took Xiaobai. At least i could entertained myself on the way there. Had a silent fight with Chubby Teddy in the car but wasn't angry with him, i guess i was just uncomfortable. And all of you who knows me, when i'm either uncomfortable or tired or hungry, i'm extremely grouchy.

Finally when we arrived at the hotel, i found that my long awaited spa sessions were all fully booked. It was hugely disappointing. I really needed a knead on my shoulder and down my back. Luckily, the downhill part of the whole trip ended here.

Cut the whole story short, we ate and ate, walk and walk, then eat again, occasionally shopped a little then back to eating and sleeping. It's weird that one of the most enjoyable part of the trip was playing Uno with Chubby Teddy, Monkey and Zhao Cai Mao. We took some nice pictures which i'll attempt to post it on when i can.

It was an ok trip but the crowd made it complete.
