Soh Po Anniversary (Part 1)

It's Soh Po's 1st Anniversary. Last year we chose Cherating, Kuantan. This year we went to something historical - Malacca & everything is big - Johor Bahru.

First Desination ~ Malacca

Accommodation ~ Discovery
First, we must find a place to stay in for the night. Nevertheless, it seemed like all hotels that we chose were fully-booked. Surprisingly, we found "Discovery Cafe" at Jalan Bunga Raya. No harm to walk in and have a look how discovery it is since we're so tired searching around.

Real discovery! We'd to walk pass by a narrow corridor to reach the new wing of the guesthouse as all rooms in the old wing were occupied. Found out it's merely a two-week newly renovated before our arrival. Everything is brand new and clean. We're the first to launch "open ceremony" for the room. Happily, we booked the room (fan + air-cond) for two for RM5o. Great deal!

Eating all the way~
Time to eat all the way out. We ate almost every two hours. From Jalan Tun Sri Lanang Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball to Makko Nyonya Food - Pong Teh, Tai Bak to Bukit Cina Cendol & Rojak to Capitol Satay Celup...an amazing eating trip...so delicious...yummy yummy!







The next morning we continued our journey of eatings. Started our rich breakfast with all sorts of Nyonya kuih to Donald & Lily Nyonya Laksa and again tried out the famous Sun May Hiong Satay House - the Hainanese pork satay even we're so so full. And that we're so satisfied heading our next destination to Johor Bahru :D






Eyes on Malacca VS Eyes on Malaysia
We used GPS to assist us all the way exploring Malacca. Eye on Malaysia, see so near, yet so far. We spent nearly an hour to reach the destination. Whilst surprisingly, we reached nowhere but Eyes On Malacca! Haha...it's a wonderland for kids. We just realised that we're so carelessly chose Eyes on Malacca instead of Eyes on Malaysia in GPS. Since we're here, of course we'd pay it a visit and take some photos as it's facing Malacca River, not bad at all.

Next, we really found the Eyes on Malaysia. As it's too early to take the ride of ferris wheel, we're having a fun section of all jumping shooting at the seaside. Okay, it's sunset time, also the best time to ride the Eyes on Malaysia. Alright it's truly a terrifying experience for me as I'm so fear of height! Tracy dear kept divert my focus, but I kept changing my position in the big wheel as I got nervous when there's nothing behind me! Though, it's awesome!

When Eyes on Malaysia located in Titiwangsa, we didn't go for the ride. Now, we went all the way to Malacca to ride the Eyes...hahaha!




Jonker Street ~ Night Market
A truly surprise to me. Never know that it's gonna to be so happening and fresh with all sort of interesting cute stuffs. Irresistible! A wow-wow to me! While shopping around, we're eating around too. I think both of us spent at least RM150 just in the Jonker Street. First time in my life seeing hawkers run their business using pc in the night market...sounds cool, isn't it?






Oh Malacca...such a lovely historical place to be...haven't finished our exploring yet. Certainly will come again next time.

诚实,是人与人之间关系的基石。如果一段关系建立在谎言之上,就如同在沙地上筑塔,看似巍峨,却经不起一丝风吹雨打。一旦谎言被揭穿,信任崩塌,关系便如断线的风筝,飘摇不定,甚至一发不可收拾,最终坠入无尽的深渊。 两个人若想携手共创未来,路途漫漫,唯有坦诚相待,方能让心与心真正靠近。诚...
