Another Melaka Trip

well, i reached wendy's place about 9am then we had breakfast at koptiam and met jc there.after breakfast..then we start our journey to Melaka at about 11 something.on our way there, wendy n jc felt that the car is vibrating in a slightly abnormal way when she drove more then 120 kmph, so they think that there is a possibility that the air in the tyre is uneven or sth (im totally ignorant about cars) so we stop at the next petrol station to refil or unfil or watever the air in the tyre.then we continue our journey and saw seremban exit..so thinking that it's still early, we went into seremban exit to get some siew pow! hehee..i bought 9 yesterday and now left 2 only! then we continue our journey to melaka.cant really remember what time we reached, about 1pm..and non of us are hungry so we decieded to walk around the town area.the weather was damm hot yesterday, so we went to have cendol.i ate my all time fav baba durian cendol.

Antiques in Jonker's 88


Then we want to go to orangutan's house to visit an old friend and wendy want to get some of their shirts.there are 3 branches there and only at the 2nd branch we saw our friend.once we went in, he said that i put on weight!!arrgghh! anyway, orangutan house sells shirts with cool prints.wendy bought about 9 shirts from there before.the one below is my 2nd one. and...shahril told us that the owner of orangutan which is the artist (Charles Cham) is in the main branch that day! me n wendy got sooo excited and he told us that we can get his signature and that he is a very friendly person. so after hanging around for 20 mins, we went over to the main branch.saw him!!!!but he was on the phone so we waited.it felt like 10 hours to me though.and i need to push wendy over to ask him about the signature thing.actually we wanted him to sign on our shirts, but he dont have fabric pen with him.and said that it's not possible to use the normal marker pen to sign on our shirts.you can check him out at http://www.charlescham.com/ and www.absolutearts.com/charlescham

After all those excitement, we finally felt hungry and went for our late lunch.what else?ofcourse is melaka famous chicken ball rice.



After lunch, we hang around at jonker's walk to check out their shops.wendy n jc bought many coffees,pineapple tarts.then i continue to look for my presents. it was almost 5 by that time, then we decided to find a cafe to sit n chill while waiting for the Jonker's street market to open.we went to Limau-Limau cafe, a cafe which me wendy n sa went once before, and i LOVE that place.it had a very cool athmosphere with unique decorations too. These are some of the cool paintings there.

Our so-called dinner.Yes, we shared that small cheese thing.non of us are hungry.
