Comrades..<Almost a love story>: Mum, sis and bf
Places visited: Jonker Street for the night market and entertainment, Portuguese Settlement for seafood, Makko Nonya which is a recommended eating place for Peranakan food. Plus the shopping centres of course.
Place of accomodation: Mahkota Hotel Melaka
Most memorable moment:
It was when I went down to Jonker Street and saw this lady setting up a stall writing calligraphy.
All you need to do is just to indicate your chinese name and she will write a poem using the whole name in it.
The amazing thing was she was physically handicapped..not many people can do that even if they have all their limbs intact. Really admired her spirit, so I bought a poem from her as well to give to Benny.
By the time we went round to doing that, she had alry finished packing up a stall and was abt to go off. She was asking if we can come back tomlo nite, but I told her we were from Spore and would be going back tomlo morning bfore she relented. We gave her our names and she immediately set it down to paper in a minute! Tat's terribly fast...plus her handwriting is still better than mine.
The poem is very chim...
Drawbacks:
Bringing my niece along. Rest and relax is not to be when there is a toddler in tow. Morever, it was rainy season. Try pushing a baby stroller along the uneven roads amidst the heavy traffic and big puddles of water lurking around. In the end I came back from the trip as tired as ever...
