It all started with an early morning bus to Melaka... that's why yanli fell asleep on the bus very very soon.. haha.. and that gave me the chance to take her photo in sleep.. hehee... 
the journey there took us more than 4hrs.. basically cos the driver was surprisingly slow.. havent seen such a slow bus driver in a very long time... anyway.. by the time we reached there.. we were hungry!! and first on our menu was Hainanese chicken rice balls.. YUMMY!! the chicken was very tender.. the black sauce is nice.. so was the chilli... all the key ingredients of a good chicken rice is present.. except for the rice.. not as tasty as we expected... rather bland in flavour.. butit was still good.. and the balls were smaller den i imagined.. i was thinking larger balls.. but these were.. rather bite-sized.. they were good no matter.. worth the $$... 
we went to explore the rest of the city of HISTORY.. and came across this signboard with all the directions.. complicated.. anyway.. getting around the town centre is quite idiot proof.. most of the places are within walking distance.. so just walk..
next stop was a whole bunch of museums.. luckily, one ticket will basically bring you to most of the important/popular museums... BUT.. seriously.. i dun think there's much interesting stuff inside the museum.. perhaps i was just turned off by the lousy and ugly human they have in the museum.. UGLY....
something else pretty dum was the fish in this picture.. they suspended fish to make them appear in water.. SO SO SO corny... so so dum... 
We also saw someone familiar... Sir Stamford Raffles.. this reminds me that actually our histories are pretty similar and pretty much linked.. do some research and you'll know why... i'll shall be lazy on this aspect.. there's still loads to cover here... heheee
These are Quail Eggs.. Very High Cholestorol.. But they are NICE.. especially when they are fried like this.. my faves are those i ate in Taipei, Ximenting.. so i guess these will have to be 2nd best.. anyway.. there was a Thai Fair at this shopping mall.. so this aint local... it's thai...
GO
GOING
GONE
That's me gobbling up all the quail eggs.. no more eggs for the rest of the TRIP.. hehee..
this is the landmark of Melaka.. the Red Buildings.. a mark of the dutch influence in this place... the day continued with more walking around in the area.. looking and also some shopping.. 
This was our first dinner there.. peranakan food.. not fantastic.. not the best i've eat also.. tried it simply cos it was near our hotel.. and the place look rather cosy & homely... 
This is a very interesting place in our hotel.. this hall is just behind the main lobby.. and it's called "Ying Yan Ting" which literally means Hall to welcome Swallows... and the birds actually have nests on this walls.. kindda freaky at night.. but it's really interesting..

At this point in time.. i'm alittle lazy to continue.. but i'll show some interesting photos that i must mention instead... for more photos and happenings in our trip.. just click on the photos and the link will bring you to the fotopic gallery..
<<<< this is yanli looking super freaked out.. cos she din know i was taking photo.. and was afraid i couldnt get onto the cable car.. Priceless expression... :)
^^^ this was taken in the cinema in Genting Highlands.. First time trying these seats.. these are massage chairs from OSIM... and tickets are only 15RM.. which amounts to around S$7.50.. cheap cheap.. super shiok.. lie down flat to watch movie.. 
^^^This was taken on the morning which we were leaving Genting.. when i saw this beautiful rainbow appearing horizontally across the sky.. so i took a panorama shot.. simply beautiful..
Just as we were on our way back to Singapore, we saw this as we were crossing the causeway.. I never knew there's such a beautiful sight in Singapore too.. the land in the background u see.. that's woodlands..
