What I did this Christmas




As I do every year, I went to church in the morning. After church, my elder brother accompanied me to visit bother Michael. The Christmas open house was hosted by the SFI brothers namely bro. Ambrose Loke and bro. Michael Kum. The food there was kinda awesome considering it's just for guests that drop by without any prior invitation. Whats amazing is that there were also pork dishes! Authentic Chinese cuisine, simply delicious. At about 5pm I attended my primary school class reunion in the Harmoni condos. We did some barbecuing and played with some fire. It's really good to some of my ex-classmates, some of them I haven't seen for six years. There were lots of who's and arr's...The reunion proceeded on with the pool throwing ceremony. I got thrown in the pool three times at least. Then there was this fire playing ceremony...these people don't know the dangers of fire!!!


the "bak" I was talking about.

Cycling Around Malacca Town


I've missed out on a few cycling trips already, so finally I got a chance to paddle my bike.
First, I meet up with Leroy, Mah and Gin Shen at the Ujong Pasir Petronas. It was about 9am. Jack-Hui Jie wasn't there yet and so we decided togive him a morning call. We cycled to his house opposite the old Bei Zan restaurant. He got up from bed and we continued our journey, to where we weren't quite sure...

There's this man made island just beside Melaka Raya, we crossed the bridge and explored the deserted island. The island is called Pulau Melaka according to recent media it was suppose to be part of the Arab City project. On one side of the road, sits the famous Malacca Straits Mosque,
on the other side lies a series of white elephants. The island is a rather good place for racing, the whole island had some kind of race circuit like setting. No cars whatsoever.

We decided to have breakfast next. We tried a few places such as Saturday Ice Cafe but they were closed. We then took a short cut and headed toward Bkt. Cina famous for its century old graveyards.

These other places we visited:
#Malacca boardwalk beside the Melaka river - almost rammed into a few samall kids.
#Digital Mall - we cycled all the way to the top and got chased down by agroup of Malay men.
#Tesco and New Aeon(Jusco) - yes the one that exploded!
#Melaka Sentral - Leroy wanted to stop at al-Ikhsan to check up some some shoes.Indian #Restaurant for breakfast - it sucked!
#Peringgit - cycled past the state's satellite incubator.
