Malacca Breakway.....

Left home on a bright Sunday morning at around 930am......first destination to the office with wife as she wants to see my newly decorated office......from her expression i dont think she was impressed....then had a quick breakfast at Mamak before proceeding to Bangsar.

Gathered at mum's place and as usual my youngest sister was late....finally left for Malacca at 1130. This time around only Mum, Dad, Youngest Sis, Her Hubby and my family. Jalan amat la slow sekali kerana jem yg teramat gila.....dari Bangi ke Seremban adalah tersangat jem.

Arrived at Shah's Village Resort at around 330. This trip was organised by my sis and knowing her, dari kecik very particular berkenaan duit, she booked a very economical resort. The resort it self is ok, chalet atap rumbia but the pool and the beach is lousy.

545 Dad instructed us to follow him to Malacca town. He was eager to show us the first place where we was posted as a junior police office. He should us the place where he used to live in 1968 and the balai where he was the IO. He also showed us the street he used to walk to get to the Balai.

Mum on the other hand dok sibuk nak tunjuk sekolah dia Sekolah Tun Fatimah, she keeps telling us that during weekend her friend and her would walk to A'Fomasa to have cendols.

Selepas dikorek2 oleh adik aku baru la kita org tau that mum and dad first met at Malacca. Mum who was at the residential school Sek Tun Fatimah and being the daughter of Deputy Inspector General of Police is usually being escorted by police officers, it seems at that time the situation in the country was not stable with the Comunnist threat. One of the escoting office was my dad, as the story goes, and the rest is history.

Then we went to perigi Hang Li Po....nothing amazing, then pergi ker Portugis Settlement di Ujung Pasir. Then we went to the famous ikan bakar at Umbai, before reaching there we passed through a place call Kandang where again dad informed us that it was at this place he got shot during the Indonesian Confrontration. As usual dia pun tak nak mengalah, he also said that he killed many Indonesian Army at that time and how he chased the Indonesian until Muar. To be fair the Indonesian failed miserably during that war. Ikan bakar kat Umbai adalah sungguh fresh and sedap, sotong goreng tepung dia memang first class, the best i had in a long time. Gambar tak ingat nak ambil, sibuk makan.

Monday morning pergi melawat ker Makam Hang Tuah. Tak tau la itu makam betul ker tak tapi best gak la. Before leaving for KL singgah dulu kat Town sebab hero sibuk nak naik bot kat Muzium TLDM. The muzium was quite impressive.

Ikan and udang fresh from the sea kat Pantai Kundur, udang tu RM70 sekilo.

Next destination Langkawi - 31st Jan - 3rd Feb 2009..........only wife and myself...ahaks
