Special Report : Melaka Road Trip , 14th - 15th January 2006

Ok , I went on a road trip to Melaka with Stella Mella , 'Amber' a.k.a Tuan Puteri and Liang Kor . Retired , F1 driver Stella was our designated driver , workshop leader & tourguide for the trip . I got to know bout this workshop when I was pitched by the workshop leader herself to come to her program . How often does a speaker pitches you , picks u up , drives you around and sends you back ? I haven't experienced such a thing , boy it was fun :D



( L-R : Workshop leader , Tuan Puteri 'Amber' & Liang Kor )

But someone complained about the smell of the car , saying it was too smelly for her standards . It was this grumpy little girl down here :



Scary looking isn't it ? Don't be fooled by the innocent , soft colours of pink and white . She's got scorpion-like 'cubitan's and likes to cabut my furry yet lovely bulu tangan . Now all that is left on my tangan are patches of hair here and there , thanx to this girl . I guess the hairs resembled the sawah padi back in Kedah , so shes used to 'cabut'-ing the padi .

So we got to the Emperor Hotel , where me and Liang Kor checked in . As we enter the room , suddenly in split second , I see the workshop leader and tuan puteri dashed in and jumped straight into our king-sized bed . I was like , " Kurang asam , aku belum rasmi lagi ..." . So there they were , tuan puteri straight away masuk dalam selimut ( it was broad daylight btw ) .

Off we go for lunch , at this nyonya food place in town . Good asam laksa indeed .



But someone did'nt finish her food ... (hint : look at the half full plate)



I've never seen a ghost , but look at this picture down here , theres someone on my shoulder :



Didn't I say it was all about makan ? next up : Pizza !! Melaka Style . Very antique place , the building's got a lot of character . Uneven walls , shades of black and complemented by old wooden furnishings really made it look good .






If I were to report on every single thing we did , I think it 'll be too big . Let's just say one of the highlights was the night we played cards . This dude down here , deserves the title of 'Gambit' for his skills in bluffing and calling other people's bluffs . If you give him 3 cards , he'll give you 6 cards back ! And this man is called Liang :


Yep , that's him . That's his mansion back there , but he forgot to bring the keys , so that's why we're in Emperor Hotel :P

Oh we went to the beach :



Photo session with workshop leader :




I guess that's about it from me . All in all , it was all fun mixed with laughter and mad eating ! Although I did lost few bulu tangans , scratch marks from the Tuan Puteri and Stella , we all went back with good memories .


'Oyasumi' ;)

The End.
