Malaccan Fun (17-19 May 2008)

I was in Malacca last weekend to attend the wedding dinner of my second cousin. Thankfully it was a public holiday on the Monday and so we were able to spend two nights at Equatorial with sufficient time to do abit of everything including a hairwash at the Mall just before the wedding dinner, ate dim sum for brunch on the day we left, also spent some time with colleagues who were also there on the same weekend at the same hotel. Here's some pics.


went to this village in Tengkera where they made fresh local kueh kueh. Think you can imagine how excited Mama was when she was there, hehehe


Spent some time at St Paul's Hill, a touristy attraction that makes Malacca so rich in historical value. Since the early 1400s', Malacca saw the occupation of three European countries, namely the Portuguese (known by locals as the white bengalis) for 130years before it was surrendered to the Dutch. The Dutch later gave Malacca to the British to prevent it from falling into France's hands. This is one reason why I'm so in love with Malacca.

Attended morning mass at St Peter's Church. Notice the dutch-inspired tiled flooring that is dated from 1710.

dance dance on !

muahaha.... me and sulyn met up Friday night for dinner at Raffles City and decided to head to NAB (new asia bar) for drinks being the start of the weekend. Having not enough fun there (as the music was kinda switchy), we headed to Attica for some good music and danced the nite away!


We had fun!
