Drew – Not just any other.

Bz day for this day.. Started out in the morning with a visit to uni with Dee to inquire some stuffs about my course modules for the 2nd year.. So near to starting already. Hope I’m ready for it. After that, Went around the pond and took a few shots here and there. Tot the ducks went missing turns out they were hiding.

Lone Duck

It seems the ducks were all there after 3 months. Wud’ve thought they disappeared by now.  After spending like 15 minutes there. We headed to the Broga Temple. (Broga is a small village deeper inside of this area)

Duck

Reached the temple and we noticed a… hill worth climbing haha next to the temple. there’s a tar road built till up all the way. not that high though. Once at the temple, we climbed the stairs up and up and up. Not that many stairs. Every level, there are nice decorations. Some giant fruits, some statues and all. Pretty neat place.

Some ancient dude that can fish without something one...

There’s also the monkey god we all know from shows and stories.

monkey god! (bad lighting)

There’s also a dragon turtle that is pulling a cart filled with gold..

Dragon Turtle

I don’t know what the dragon turtle signifies.. Hmmm let me see. Dragon for power and strength, the turtle shell for wary and careful as well as good home (turtle shell = turtle’s home), the cart is your wallet/bank account and the treasure obviously your money.

omg.. what !

Once we reached the end of the temple, we started climbing the hill side to reach the top. Quite a nice atmosphere and view. Though nothing very spectacular it was still nice to look at things from above once in awhile.

Green green..

random flowers

Well, it’s a good place to relax your mind up there. Although the sun can be pretty hot.. Go on a cloudy day’s the best! After heading back down, we had quite a big lunch.. kangkung belacan, fried sotong, and … Marmit chicken..

Reached home pack our stuff for the weekend and headed back to PJ… Had a dinner to attend.

Headed to Semenyih to start cleaning my place on Wednesday. Took me 3 hours to clean only my room and the stairs. Oh my goodness. So Messy and dirty. Wanted everything to be clean and shining and ship shape. Ate mumma’s baked pizza for dinner and slept right after that. Woke up next day and headed for breakfast Pan Mee! with Dee Mei and Li Theng. They came to Sem to clean their house. I realised that their home was much dirtier than mine. but considering that my house somebody has been staying in there all the while. I have nothing to say.

Dropped Li Theng at KTM then dropped by Starbucks to have a “chocolate chip cream” Quite jelak after awhile. For some reason I dun really fancy starbucks already as compared to Coffee Bean..

Went to Uni at night to take some photos and I realised I left my tripod back in PJ !!! I kept going “ALAMAK” but I still went to uni to try taking some night photos after all. Dee Mei accompanied me.

Fountain in the middle of the pond

So we drove to the Central Admin building and parked my car there. Got to the bridge and started snapping away. Practicing my shots.

Picture was taken with my cam on the floor..Courtyard fountain

Was very peaceful at night. Not many people around the uni especially classes for UG students have not started. Went to the center of the Study Area at the fountain. Headed over there to take some water pictures. See what I can come out with. Here’s for you people to enjoy. Well I kinda like the Uni’s environment. Very peaceful. Considering it’s away from the normal City.

Here.. Less words, just enjoy what I took. Don’t really know how to make the back lights from the words and the clock tower be seen clearer. Any suggestions?

Well.. Enough of fountain photos la. If I keep putting I will never end..

okay last one.. thru the hole of the ...

After spending an hour or so taking pictures and walking around we decided to head back home. While walking past the study block, something caught Dee’s attention. It was a frog climbing a wall.. I was surprised to see frogs climbing walls.. at 1st I didn’t believe it but then I saw it…

Spider Frog.. Quite obvious right???

I tried to take a close-r up shot of it but he climbed the wall so fast. So I decided to just let him be. He was right at the ceiling already.

right at the top already..

I kinda like this guy. Pretty cool. After that We headed home to do what most people do at night. Watch show. Introduced Dee to Stargate Atlantis !!! So far I racuned my brother, sis-in-law’s sister and my Dee..

That ends my post for today.

This post was supposed to be Monday post.

What was supposed to be a two day one night stay in PD ended up in a 1 day trip to Melaka for food. Last minute one of my friend couldn’t make it. So we decided 1 day right before we left. We left on Saturday morning at around 8.00am in the morning. Beng, MIchelle and I were the last three people to arrive. Got the change of plans last minute there and then. George drove and we all sat in. In the car we called Zhen asking him if he wants to take a day trip to Melaka. He said okay. Drove to his place picked him up,

then headed to Centrepoint McD’s for breakfast.

Cloudy skies and raining almost throughout all the way to Melaka. Beng somehow made our 1 3/4 hour journey seem alot shorter. Thanks! haha… Reached Melaka,

Bus vs Beca !

attempted to find our way to Jonker’s St. using Siew Yen’s route (route to her grandma’s place) We managed to reach the place eventually. Had to find parking then… parking coupon.

1st stop had Laksa + Cendol. Curry laksa and some kind of super sweet cendol.

Next Stop was chicken rice balls the same area* Some big fancy chicken rice ball restaurant.

then walked around A Famosa (which was the 1st time for me)

(gatehouse I think)

Not a lot to look at this place but quite a nice and pleasant place to relax. Very windy and calm place.

Imagine this without everything but a small village in between and the seas filled with warships bearing dutch flag (enemy).. aiming their cannons at you (FORT)! That was then...

Nothing much was left of the fort other than ruins.. ruins ruins..

a Famosa.. or what's left of it

and spotted a GSC nearby so we decided to take a walk towards the shopping mall. We ended up watching a movie. After that we headed to Jln Laksamana or somewhere near there for Satay. Quite alot of satay but the pieces are small.

After Satay!

Once we stuffed ourselves with 5pm satay. we headed to the Newly constructed jetty next to Holiday Inn.

Not a bad place to lepak for Melaka’ns actually.

The jetty walkway. (2 sides)

Then… there was pool where we got kicked in the ass by beng. Too much pool during Taylors time I guess made him gay in pool.

Took some photos there. Actually thought I could get a sunset picture.. Mana tahu towards the horizon it started to get so Bluddy cloudy!!!

see!!! clouds...

Waited for dinner and then we headed to our next stop.

Satay Celup. SYOK! (Satay Celup too messy to take pics)

AFter that we all headed home. Made a stop at Ayer Keroh Stop. Brings back memories that place. Went there in form 4 also during the school organised uniformed body camp. The stop with baskin robbins!

On the way home we decided…. instead of going back straight home.. Let’s go A&W ! waffles and fries. To end our day. Oh what a day. Before I knew it, it was already Sunday.

What a beautiful day has passed.
