I once talked about the Korean delegates who came to my university last January in my blog. I know it had been long after their visit but what I want to write here now is the things after my friend did after sending them off at the airport. The Korean delegates left the country on the January, 21st 2011, 8pm. After all the goodbye saying, wishes biding, hugs exchanging, confessions and gifts swapping, it was time to send them to the boarding gate. Till the last person entered, I think it was Michael aka Yeong Jin, we still stood there, waving our hands. I knew that time we were going to miss them real much.
Oh yeah, turn back the time 12hours before they departed. Miss Sally gave a call, well, she always gave us calls, surprising and unexpected calls and that time was ‘Hey girls, after we send the Koreans, let’s go to Malacca.’ Malacca is a state in the Peninsula Malaysia which takes you 2++ hours’ drive from Selangor, a state famous for its historic background. What do you expect, of course it was a big yes. After a long, hectic, sleepless 7 days when the Koreans visited, we seriously needed a rest. Plus, it was Friday night, no plans on Saturday. Teehee :P
So, immediately that night from KLIA we set to Malacca. Poor Miss Sally, she had to drive through the midnight while we were sleeping selfishly behind. Well, at least she had herself a companion to talk to, errr, her sister, Puan Amalina, who was actually enduring the sleepiness too.
We arrived at a chalet owned by Miss Sally’s parents’ friends past midnight. It was a cozy house, with hot shower (that’s important), two comfy beds, and a television. We didn’t need and expect much because we stayed there for just a night. After a lovely and pleasurable hot shower, no time for tv, we all landed comfortably in the beds.
The next morning, with soggy eyes, I endured the laziness to wake up but remembering we were in the neighbouring state and we had many places to go (that was what I thought). 11.30am, we checked out from the chalet to our first destination and the main reason we went to Malacca. Miss Sally and her sister actually wanted to visit their parents’ friend who was hospitalized and apparently the owner of the chalet we stayed earlier on. After a long two hours visit, we went to the most colourful spot in Malacca, Jonker Walk. There were many items sold there ranging from shades, glasses, slippers, shoes, bubble guns, fans, clothes, ice creams, pineapple tarts, chopsticks, bags, the list goes on. I was excited and all energized with all the things sold but realizing the fact I brought only RM20 made me stop fantasizing. It was a major misfortune to bring along little cash when you’re on an unexpected trip because unexpected trips always bring you to some cloud nines’ destinations. (according to my life experience). And so, these were what we did that day:
