Hihi.. Juz return to Singapore from Malacca, Im here to blog about my trip there today! Haha.. It's so fun in Malacca today! This is the first time I went to Malacca and I had a wonderful time there learning many things.. I really treasure this trip alot..=)
Today I almost ,miss the trip.. I was supposed to wake up at 5am today but I woke up at 6.45! Haha.. Then I rush and finally make it to school just in time to catch the bus.. What a close shave! =) After that we went to set off for Malacca..
Our first destination was the Kampong Indah, where we were shown rubber tapping and oil palms.. When we reached there, we were all fustrated at those mosquitoes who keep biting us and in the end I had four big mosquitoes bites..>.< And my group of friends and me were scolded by Ms Nora for fidgeting around..=( But the trip there is fun and exciting as we get to see the latex flowing out from the rubber tree.. And we were able to touch the latex and smell it.. Haha.. After that we were shown a piece of rubber after it is being dried.. We were also shown the processing of it after it is being dried before it is sent to factories.. We also participate in top spinning and silat activities.. It is very very exciting.. Haha.. We had a fun time there.!
After that, we had a village walk and we were shown Malay houses built on stilts and we were given a chace to step into the house.. It is actually quite a nice place to live in as the house can be expanded as the family grows.. In the house, we were taught how to make a ketupat wrapping and we were shown the wedding tradition of the Malays, we had also had hands to some of the traditional games.. Haha.. We were also able to see wet rice being growed there in the village..
Next, we went for lunch at a local restaurant for a nonya lunch.. Haha.. The food there is quite delicious! =) Next up?? We went to some historical sites like The Famosa, which were built by the Portuguese, St Paul's Chapel, built by a Potuguese Captain, The Stadhuys and Christ Church.. All these are all historical sites and we have a great time learning things there.. =_+
Nearing the end of our trip, we went to Tan Kim Hock shop to buy some snacks and food.. I think I bought the most.. Cos my family wan me to buy some stuffs for cooking and some biscuits... Haha.. Guess what? I spent more than half of the money I bought there.. I bought 120 Malaysian ringgit there and I spent 80 Malaysian ringgit on the food and stuffs at Tan Kim Hock shop.. And I spent 20 ringgit on souveneirs there.. And how much I had left? I left with only about 7 Malaysian ringgit as I spent some money on food and drinks along the way.. Haha..
We departed for Singapore soon after that.. So sad man.. I was hoping that our trip there would be longer.. But we really had a fun time there, even though the trip was a short one, I like it alot and I learnt lots of stuffs there.. Before we reached Singapore, we went to have our dinner at a local restaurant... Finally, we reached Singapore before afew of us and me dropped off at Khatib MRT station where we went home.. Home sweet home!
I was so sad when I was going home... I wanted this trip to be longer unfortunately it is only one day..=( I hope to be engaged in these type of overseas trip again in the future! Haha.. Got to sleep now!
