Its the last week of the down period. Nxt week got trainees already. Sianz... no more staying out :(
Went to Malacca early monday morning, my dad decided to drive there. Went through the new malaysian causeway, its not bad, and its operating on tuesday the next day =) So can say we're one of the last few to use the old causeway building. The journey there is quite far about 2-3 hours of drive about 200+ km. When we reach there is really wow! their buildings are like those china town kind quite run down and some black black ones. Went to their coffee shop for lunch and also bought parking coupons. Its damn cheap, its like 40sen for half hour, 60 sen for 1 hour! Lols but i realise most parking spaces have attendants and they charge like 1 time entrance free of 1 ringgit or 2.
The idea of driving around is very fun lah, just pack a few stuffs like a change of clothes, some money and food a map and OFF we go. After trying our best to follow the map we gave up, their maps is really cmi, 1 got say road name but never say place of attractions. One got name of attractions but the road is aga aga one cause that one must take bus. Then the other one got road details and hotel names only. The worst part is that, the road there is so different, some one way some 2 way. On the map see can go through but on the road cannot go through cause 1 way. Damn irritating, take damn long just to go 1 place. Anyway went to jonker's street to eat the chicken rice ball, went to ching ho heritage museum, baba nonya heritage museum, Portuguese village, megamall... The clothes they sell there is cheap, but then the fashion is like all those malaysian chinese kind, then the clothes in those shop like mango and esprit kind lookes okay but then its not cheap. Sian ends up never buy anything, go there walk walk nia. Oh btw their seafood is damn nice and cheap. Had pepper crabs =) its only 36 ringgit per KG and its delicious.
By tuesday we sort of know the roads in Malacca inside out liao, zoom around went to a church to have a look, zoom around somemore before leaving malacca.
Wednesday book in :( sian booked out on thursday after my medical appointment at jurong medical center. Guess what, i saw Gabriel! Haha he also going there for treatment, sat down and have a talk before i make my way home.
Friday, half day today cause we chiong finish everything which needs to be done then we're released. Actually this half day is say nice only cause they eat our saturday morning, though i booked in to book out like a few hours later, the idea was still in general wonderful. Met up with the class for a gathering in the evening. Many things happened like the sudden disappearance of lynette (who agreed to go aston's to queue up before hand and turned up late! ) With a 40 man queue tim and i decided to change to manhattan fish market. I'm damn lucky as i managed to book a table in such short notice. Soon everybody came, shuming, isaac, jacq, xiuting, andrew, lynette, minhui, peiqi, weiji, gerard, gabriel, jasmine, even wenxi and co. and shin and co. came! Dinner was great, and oh lynette and minhui baked ginger bread man for everybody. Thanks. Many people changed, be it lookes, be it personality, probably its what people call growing up.
Sat morning was a mad rush down to tekong ferry terminal at 7am! Meet up with the rest before walking through the nostalgic bridge towards some penguin ferry heading for tekong. Went there to sort out and double check dockets for the new trainees which means no more staying out :( dammit. Then met up with linton to go shopping for chirstmas, okay sounds wrong, more he ask me to accompany him to shop for stuffs. Bought a polo tee for my bro while he bought stuffs. The damn wierd thing is the shopping for female clothes part. Walao, 2 guys in the female section looking for female clothes is damn weird. Went to recee dempsey road for another class gathering i'm planning. Lols that place is damn class, lols ppl sit around drink wine can't really make noise so i guess, its out of bounds for now.
Met up with joseph for breakfast after my driving, which i almost accident again. Haha.
