Once Again, A Spa Trip to Malacca

Yet another Malacca trip. The initial plans was to head for Tioman together with Monkey and his company and of course, plus Zhao Cai Mao. With a series of unfortunate events, we found out there were shortages of rooms at the resort we were suppose to be put up. We were suppose to share a hut with Monkey and Zhao Cai Mao and that seemed ok. But things kinda took a sharp and unexpected turn when Tubby called one afternoon and told me that we are not going for the Tioman trip. I didn't quite probe but it could be because of some changes in events or remarks. Then again, it was good afterall since our Malacca trip was great.

Most people might think that it's a boring place and it's so unhappening. I must admit it can get boring and meaningless. But the most important thing that kept the trip alive was that we had each other. Frankly, Malacca wasn't the first choice and we did wanted to make it for the Tioman trip but guess it's all fated and we'd just have to plan it on a later date.

We stayed at the same hotel we did the last time but the difference this time, i managed to book the spa and it was fabulous. It's the retreat i needed since a long long time. I was so afraid that it'd turn out to be a disappointed but thankfully, it didn't. We booked a room on Friday and got tranferred to a much bigger room on Saturday. It was a upgrade, guess it was a suite or something. Well it wasn't free, but it's still reasonable and the breakfast was stll worth waking up early for.

Regular trip to the night bazaar at Jonker was unavoidable since there was nothing else to do. Buying and chomping down food along the way was so much more fun than we hoped. I don't mind doing one of this trip every now and then just for the spa and food.

Right now, i shall save up my annual leaves and give my bank account some time to recuperate before we plan for our big trip to Melbourne in August.
