yep. went to melaka again. this would be the 3rd trip this year. well, since i had a weekend off, which is really rare, since i have weekend classes. so finally i have one weekend off, and it's easier to accommodate wendy and cat since both of them are working. so, initially the 3 of decided to go SOMEWHERE for the weekend. we planned to head down to Penang initially. but...cat last minute ffk us. well, actually not really last minute, our trip itself was a very sudden decision. i think it was about 2 weeks ago that we decided to go somewhere (well, i suggested that we should go somewhere lah...hehee)
then, cat told us last week that she can't as her parents are coming down from tawau. so just me and wendy. and neither of us can drive down to Penang, some more have to spend a night. we did contemplate flying/taking the bus to Penang..then, i itchified, go check the flight to Singapore, two ways RM179! Why not just head to Spore? Well, I was quite pump up with that idea, started checking hotel rates (though i actually dont mind flying there early morning and fly back at night), and...we did our calculations...Well, not that we're super rich (cause if we're, we'll probably fly to somewhere further for the weekend!)...so we end up going to good 0l'Melaka.
And...we can also celebrate a friend's birthday too! -- though we were super late!
so on Saturday late morning, we started our journey down to Melaka (Wendy drove)
the sky is just so blue! the clouds so soft. wonder if i can just grab it?
reached AyerKeroh.
as usual, our 1st stop -- lunch -- chicken rice balls.
well, the portion up there was meant for 3 pax. we were just way TOO HUNGRY, so we ordered for 3. AND, we manage to finish it (well, obviously i ate the bigger portion.... )
but i have to say this, i dont think the next time i'm in Melaka i would want to eat it anymore. i'm starting to feel that it's overrated. and, especially in a one day trip, u cant fit chicken rice balls, cendol and cendol and more cendol, curry mee, snacks (sold along Jonkers Walk) and satay celup all in one day right? i suppose the one i would forgo would be the rice balls.
after lunch, we head to OrangUtan House, to meet our dear friend. it was his birthday sometime last month. and..well, Wendy decided to get him a strawberry pie for him so we can have it together whilst chatting in the shop.
and what a coincidence, he even bought cakes for us! because he wants to treat us, for his birthday! lol. that's really,really sweet of him! 
one of the funniest and the most honest person i met. and, i know it's like a cliche, but time flies!!!!!! me and wendy knew him for FOUR YEARS already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
lol. i love this shot. caught him "membebeling" to Wendy! ahahhahaaa
we sat in the shop for hours! we just talk and talk and talk about almost everything!
after that, we want to go for cendol, but that place was freaking packed. i was queuing whilst Wendy went to look for seats. but...too full. not to mentioned that this place was the other end of Jonker walk, and we have to walk through the rain (we forgot our umbrellas!)
kind of potong stim lah. so we head back to the car, planning to go Pahlawan Mall and buy Starbucks coffee, to keep us awake - especially Wendy on our drive back to KL. sigh. it was JAM. all the way. missed the turning. turn one big round. JAM again. then decided to turn into Mahkota Parade instead.
wendy's caramel latte. my cappuccino with an extra shot.
this time -- MsTaipei meets MrMacau (:
both me and wendy talked almost all the way back to KL.
mostly about? our 1st impression towards each other. how we ended being as close we are now, despite not being so close, especially the first 6 months of knowing each other. and, really... this only proves one fact--that only times can reveal whether a person is a true friend or not.
just because two individuals started off thinking that they are definitely not each other's type of friend, but i believe that, friendship, like any other relationship is fated. some are just meant to be, some are not. and i truly believe that this friendship is fated. and i'm grateful for that.
thank you, wendy! (:
