17 December 2005
Woke up at 5am in the morning. Planning to take a train to Kranji Mrt to meet my kennie and her family at 6.30am. but ended up, the first train up north only start at 6.15am. so cab or train? i opt for the cab, but wah piang.. wait and wait but no cabs come.. then time is 6.10am already. panic. msg kennie say not cab. she accused me of waking up late.. wat the shit.. a bit pissed off.. i wake up at 5am for u leh.. all because they wanna avoid the queue at custom.. but i msg back that my train only start at 6.15am.. not fair to say until like tat rite?? her train going south start before 6 de.. somemore her stop from chua chu kang so close. if u are me, u be pissed rite?? anyway.. took mi abt 26min to reach kranji via mrt. well.. especially her hubby kept emphasising about being late.. blah blah blah... well, we managed to cross the custom okay mah.. not many people.. but we walk across the causeway, because the road is very jam.. well.. we were very early coz have to wait for another set of family to arrive. we had roti prata and teh tarik for breakfast. the most horrible roti prata i've eaten.. my home downstairs sell better prata leh.. anyway, we still have plenty of time after our breakfast. Wait for Siew Ling and family.. really leh.. travelling with families with kids are really I dunno.. slow, noisy and troublesome at times... because families tend to stick together and singles like me, have no bargaining power loh.. so just follow quietly.. they wanna go early also follow loh.. sianzzz... anyway.. after Siew Ling and family finally cross the causeway successfully, we catch the bus 170 to the terminal. we had about 5 min before the coach leave. i hurry to buy a bottle of mineral water because i dun have any water for the long journey. I heard the bus journey will be 4 hrs at least. Dun really look forward to the ride. I was unable to sleep throughout the journey. i need my own bed.. but the ride took shorter than expected. less than 4 hrs. we waited for ah mee, the bride the come and fetch us. she really have very good friends. coz her friends actually volunteered to ferry us around the place. anyway, she brought us to eat the chicken rice ball.. acutally i had a bad experience with this dish in Singapore. I first tasted it at the Food Fair in Singapore Expo. It was horrible, because the rice is very 'lan' and as i eat, i will be thinking abt the hands that had roll these balls.. dunno clean hands or not.. so it's really yucky to eat this.. anyway.. in Malacca, the rice ball cost 3cents per ball.. yucks.. and the chicken was hard.. wah piang.. even the drumstick is like the breast meat.. and it's not cookd.. coz have blood de.. dun understand why so many people.. accordingly to ah mee, the local don't really appreciate the dish.. but the place was packed!!! why?? think all must be first timer.. then we went and had chendol at a roadside stall.. it really taste funny.. it's the green green thing that taste funny.. have the indian smell leh..sweat!!! anway, after a full stomach, we went to the hotel.. we were really late for check-in leh.. but the stupid hotel make us wait while they clean up.. wah piang.. can u imagine??? clean up in late afternoon leh.. make us wait for so long... the hotel name is 'The Orchid' dun go there next time hor.. the rooms are really lousy.. my room the bed sink in the center de... we dun really have a choice of hotel coz ah mee book the rooms late... coz now is peak season mah.. if not we will be staying in a resort le.. sob sob... i napped for a while then changed to get ready for the dinner.. everything so rush hor.. haa... i was travelling very light you know.. i wore a pair of bright pink pants, wear track shoes and a t-shirt. my intended wedding attire is to change to more presentable a pink top.. that's all.. hee.. because my fren is bandang de.. so better wear pink loh.. the dinner was very chinese leh.. really chinese.. never in my life do i see a wedding dinner stage with the word 'xi' on paste on the curtain.. and god.. there's a ge tai leh.. they actually invite singers to sing.. oh.. there's a chio bu who in between, the guests were invited up the stage to sing too.. so we heard a lot of chinese oldies.. sweat... but hey... the food was 'yi ji pang' nice.. i think similar dishes in Singapore would have cost thousands a table.. .. the first dish, the cold dish was unlike anything I've eaten in Singapore.. very nice.. follow by shark fin served in a big plate.. not a big pot hor.. so can taste more shark fins.. the third dish is yucks.. roast pork.. roast until thin think de.. i skip that.. coz very oily.. the came my favourite.. fried chicken!!! very crispy leh.. I ate a lot of that.. then come steam fish.. very tasty.. then is mushroom.. dun quite like this dish.. the dessert was guess what.. u won't guess de.. ice-cream cone de!!! haaa.. so cute de.. our table have vanilla.. i saw other table had chocolate de.. the dinner start at 7pm sharp and end at 10pm.. wahhh... singapore shld learn from them leh.. start on time and end early mah.. tat shld be the correct way rite?? else wait until die of hunger.. and hor this restaurant's toilet was very clean.. why? coz used only by chinese mah.. tat's why... keke.. u know wat i mean... yeah.. ah mee the bride was very pretty that day.. wahh say.. she shld 'da ban' more mah.. really very chio loh.. then saw her wedding photo.. so pretty.. then hor thru' out the wedding dinner hor, the bride was moving abt the place while the groom hor.. sit there and eat and eat and eat.. sweat leh... anyway.. i think i mention before.. malacca is the hometown of the bride.. so this dinner was sort of demanded by the father.. yeah paid for by the father also.. very 'ai mian zi' hor... so there will be another actual wedding dinner in Penang next week which is the hometown of the groom... there's another interesting thing to share.. there's a guest of honour for this wedding.. guess who guess?? haa.. its the CEO of a school.. these people really very traditional hor.. i cannot imagine even inviting my school principal to my wedding.. sweat... then hor.. the father presented a big ang bao as donation to the school on the stage.. then hor very cute de.. we had this 'yam say' x 3 times lead by this CEO.. then we went 'YAMMMM...' very long time.. then by instinct.. u will expect the 'Say' to be said very forcefully but this CEO only say the 'Say' like breathless like that.. we were giggling at our Singapore table.. talking abt table.. that remind me.. when we first enter the restaurant.. ah mee was guiding us to a table A but her father say, 'cannot cannot' so we go to table B.. her father say 'cannot cannot!!' then her auntie bring us back to Table A.. father say, "Cannot cannot!!" wah piang.. in the end we sit behind the bride table..but have better view..halfway thru' the meal, ah mee's frenz ask whether we are interested to go night walk at their malacca version of pasa malam.. that's very kind of them... and I was definitely curious to check that out.. so we were agreeable... anyway.. as i was saying.. we left the resturant at abt 10pm+.. then ah mee say her aunt wanted to sleep in the hotel also.. so we had to go back to the hotel where I need to shift my things into the room of the other two frenz of ah mee. they were her classmates.. i dun really mind lah.. though was disappointed coz i tot i can sleep alone mah.. keke.. anyway.. along the way.. Kennie's daughters were falling asleep le.. so they whole family decided to forgo the night tour... but i went ahead with the two frenz.. the night market really look like pasa malam lah.. they sell weird weird items like toys, accessories and other stuffs... actually the things sold were mainly imported from Indonesia, Thailand and other countries.. no wonder i find some stuff familiar.. coz I've seen them in Bangkok mah.. keke... anyway.. i heard the rental here was very cheap de.. few dollars only.. and this night market only open on fri, sat and sun from ard 8pm to 11pm.. by the time we actually reach the place, it was like 11pm++ and people were packing up le...
