Melaka Trip - Part 2

Pagi jumaat tu, we woke up quite late. MIL dah siap2 nak keluar, kita orang baru terhegeh2 nak mandi and siap. The plan was for hubby to leave us kat bandar, and we will just jalan2, makan angin. Tiba2, tukar pulak plan, hubby's meeting was postponed to afternoon. Maka dia ada la masa untuk bawak kita orang berjalan2. Sitting in a car, with 6 ppl in the back, memang tak comfortable, Che Boh, MIL, K.Mei and 3 kids.. rimas, panas, sakit kepala.. semua ada. Pastu, masa nak sampai kat A Famosa tu, jam la pulak. Sakitnya hati aku. Dah la panas giler, matahari terik atas kepala. In my opinion, melaka is extra warm all the time compared with other states. Betul ke? or just perasaan aku?

Sampai kat area Dataran Pahlawan tu, dah almost 11am. MIL and Che Boh decided to go shopping instead of climbing the stairs to the remaining ruins of A Famosa Fort. Aku, hubby, K.Mei and the kids, start la panjat tangga tu. Berpeluh2 kita orang. Boleh rasa peluk menitik2 dalam baju. Sampai kat puncak bukit tu (macam la bukit tu tinggi sangat.. hehe), rasa semput, mcm baru lepas masuk olympic untuk acara lumba lari. Punya la teruknya stamina. Aku rasa kalau panjat Gunung Kinabalu (my plan for next year), mau seminggu baru sampai puncak.. hehe.

Various shots at A Famosa (St Paul's Hill).

Lepas melepak kat atas bukit tu, kita pun turun kebawah, coz hubby had to go for his meeting. Sempat lagi bagi the kids naik beca. Bila dapat naik beca tu, punya la excited. Jakun betul anak2 aku, mcm tak pernah naik beca, padahal kat KT selalu sgt dah naik beca. Aku tak ikut naik beca dgn dia orang, aku bagi alasan kat hubby, takut pakcik beca tu takleh nak kayuh sebab aku berat sangat.. risau aku kalau beca tu terbalik bila aku naik.. hahahaha..

Now, nak kena cari MIL and Che'Boh kat Dataran Pahlawan. Bila masuk kat dalam mall tu, rasa leganya, heaven betul bila duduk dalam aircond. Kebetulan, kat center court mall tu, tengah ada audition National Sports Council untuk pilih gymnast. Ramai budak2 pompuan, from as early as 4 yrs old datang for the audition. Zulaikha, Iman and Iffah were glued to the stage, punya la seronok dia org tgk the girls menari and menunjukkan aksi2 ala olympic gitu. Aku and K.Mei letih mencari MIL and Che'Boh. Both of them memang terkenal kaki shopping. Jenis yang boleh keluar rumah pukul 10am, pastu balik tak balik, pukul 10pm, semata2 untuk bershopping. Aku pulak jenis yang malas nak keluar, unless aku ada plan nak beli something. Grr... seksa giler nak cari dia org. After 2 hours at the mall, baru la jumpa both of them. We had coffee kat Star Buck. My coffee cost me almost RM15. Mahal giler!!! nyesal minum kat Star Buck. Kalau minum kopi cap Jam Besar, baru RM0.10 secawan.

Hubby came to pick us up at about 4pm. We went to Stadhuys. Berbelit lidah aku nak menyebutnya. The girls took photos with snakes and iguana. Tak sangka the snakes and iguana jadi main attraction kat situ. Oh! lupa!! not the snakes and iguana, but police women yg berdansa. Rasa pelik tengok polis2 pompuan dok menari kat depan balai polis kat Stadhuys tu. Tak sangka polis kat malaysia pun ada buat mini concert jugak ... hehehe..

I love this place, it's beautiful.

Bosom buddies, Iman, Zulaikha and Iffah. :)
