My family from Penang came over to KL last weekend to take advantage of the long Christmas holiday for jalan-jalan cari pasal. Dan kalau dah cari tu mestila jumpa kan? We sure had a lot pasal but it was fun!
Early 26th morning we left KL for Malacca. According to plan we should be stopping at Air Keroh’s Zoo Melaka. As this is a school holiday trip, we are here to make the kids happy. If we were to make the adults happy, all places of interest should be air-conditioned, serve coffee, accept Mastercard and sell shoes.
But the zoo was full. Strictly no parking. From inside the car we could people queuing to buy tickets and the line is like what?? 50 meters? We decided not to stop and continue the journey to Banda Hilir. Itu pasal yang pertama!
Pasal yang kedua – my cheeky lil nephew has opened the back seat window and rested his chin and arm on it. Accidently, he pushed the window down too hard and the power window snapped. Maka tak boleh tutup la tingkap itu.
Pasal yang ketiga – tingkap tak boleh tutup thus air-con is just a bit cooler than dragon’s breath! Hot! Cair taik telinga aku!
Pasal yang keempat – no parking! I don’t think I wanna tell you about my quarrel with the Nepali security guard that didn’t allow to triple park our car. It could lead to brain hemorrhage, just recalling about it.
Oh well, other than that, everything was fun. After all we were there to take the kids visiting the historical city. I am very proud of my nephew, Adam and niece, Nurin. They have gone so big now, so smart and knowing their history lessons very well.
That’s three of us in the Menara Taming Sari. The tower is the first revolving “Gyro Tower” in Malaysia with main purpose of enabling visitors to view the city from a bird’s eye view. You can see Banda Hilir, Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka Straits, TUDM museum, Stadthuys, Saint Pauls Peak, Independence Memorial, State Mosque and Melaka Island etc. Adam and his brother Arash loved this experience. 7 year old Arash even exclaimed excitedly to him Mum, “Ibu! Tu Penang! Boleh nampak Penang dari sini!”
On Menara Taming Sari
Cheeky Miki
Since there was a lot of walking need to be done, Sarah joined Miki strolling in the MX3. Tak sia-sia aku beli stroller sebesar mesin pembajak. Sarah is 3 years 1 month old. But Miki is just as tall as her already.
Miki is getting sleepy
Spot the only adult. From left Sofiya, Farah, Win, Miki, Sarah and Shanana. Standing is Hariz. These are my beloved nieces and nephews. Shanana is the bibik.
I dont know why Azman took this photo. But I think it is pretty. Melaka is a very nice place to be. Asam Pedas is a great food to eat. These are iron fencing around A Famosa.
Miki asleep in front of A Famosa
That is Arash playing yoyo-like toy while standing on the meriam gajah. Below is Hariz peering inside the ancient weapon. Sometimes I wish I can be like kids, always happy, no worries, no quarreling with Nepali security guards….
To all readers, Azman, Miki and I wish you a very Happy New Year 2010. We have so much stuff lined for next year.Insya Allah hopefully everything will go on smoothly. 🙂
