Mini Escapism : Melaka 3

Things I love in Melaka : Jonker Walk area

I was lost in this area, originally I planned to walk through the Jonker Street but decided to walk farther. It was a really hot day, I was squinting my eyes, trying to walk pass cars in the small lane. I arrived at rows of old shops, marked with the year it was built on the top of the building. Small temples, countless hostels and guest houses, bars too early to be opened, little personal factories, and little bookstore that sold old comics and second hand books. 

Precious roads, a walk that gave my face two-tone colours, to really signify the hot afternoon walk.

So, I didn't even went pass Jonker Street that day. 

I was lost in between, and found my way out.

Hello!

This is my final post on my Melaka trip, I promise! I took a lot of photos that I love and putting it up in my blog is one of the way to keep it fresh in my mind. It is like a public diary of my living years. I do go through my blog every now and then. Just to have a taste of my past and reminding myself on how much I grew up and learned these past years. It is also a way for me to share my stories with my families and people who care. 

I am not much of a people person - to be in real live situation and share my thoughts and stories. So this is how much I can participate with people.

I hope these picturous posts didn't take so much time to load, I've resized all of them and they load as fast as hummingbird's wings on my browser *at least most of the time, of course.

Hello !

On our second day in Melaka, we walked around the historical town by feet. From our hotel, all the way to Jonker Street again. We ignored the fact that we were slightly exhausted and thirsty, we kept on walking. I took gazillion photos while we were walking around. I tried to search for tiny details that were left behind by history. Beautiful old buildings, beca, people lining up for cold drinks, old antique shops, dreamcatchers, museums, making my walking hours worth while.

Museums :

The Last Supper, ha!

Reminds me of Hitler, ha!

I saw a faceless lady in this painting, reminds me of Amelie.

Hello !

Last weekend I went to our historical town, Melaka. The original idea was to go to Umbai and eat super delicious seafoods for iftar but it was dragged to a 2 days 1 night stay instead. A short vacation on weekend. The fun part is knowing I've been having a short vacation in Melaka every year since 2010! 

This time we walked around the town during fasting month and boy that was challenging. We barely see Malays walking around in the town. Anyhow, we stayed at Hotel Johan, next to shopping complexes, ATMs, shops etc. For me, it was above comfortable, and I loved the free WiFi access! Although there was a construction been going on next to our hotel, it didn't really bother me that much.

We walked around the town for awhile before going to Umbai, just to have a taste of what we will be having on Sunday. If it's not because of the heat, I would probably jumping up and down those building excitedly. How can anyone hate old buildings? 

Kak Long, naik beca, naik beca~

Next, to Umbai Ikan Bakar, near Umbai Beach. Where it smelt of beach and something bad. We were there quite early to choose our dishes resulting one hour of strolling around the area. Boats were lining up, saw people waiting for fisherman to bring fresh fishes from the sea, kids playing while waiting for iftar, my stomach sang the song of its life.

We walked around the Jonker Street at night for a couple of hours before they packed up and gone with as many rubbish on the street as usual Pasar Malam around in my hometown. Sheesh, Malaysian, come on. There were beautiful colours around this town at night. I wish I wasn't not so tired.
