Historical Melaka

Actually dah lama tak melawat Melaka. Setakat lalu kat NSE hiway memang selalu tapi kali terakhir stay kat Melaka masa hubby kerja kat Affin. We stayed at A Famosa. Itu pun sebab family day. Ni request by Sarah nak melawat tempat-tempat bersejarah kat Melaka. Mula2 nak pergi minggu lepas tapi tak dapat bilik pulak. Biasalah, last minute plan memang macam tu.

Pagi ni, lepas Subuh baru nak start packing. Semalam tak larat sangat...kaki dah jammed sepetang mengerjakan CnC. Janji dengan Diani nak jumpa 8.45 tapi pukul lapan pun dok struggle dengan kain baju. Mmm....last2 sms Diani cakap lewat sikit. Lepas tu baru teringat....alamak! Birthday cake belum tulis apa2 wordings lagi....oppps...ok, last2 I decided to use fondant. Phew...selesai masalah.

Otw to Melaka, trafik ok, tak la heavy sangat. 1st place that we went upon reaching Melaka was Sungai Melaka. Went for a cruise along Sungai Melaka. Sarah asked how was it possible that Melaka became a huge port when the current Sungai Melaka is not that wide....mmmm..... Er...well....that was ages ago.... Sekarang, dengan pelbagai pencemaran dan macam2 lagi la... So sungai Melaka pun kecik...( argh... Betul ke fakta mama ni? Ke auta je lebey).

It was about 45 minutes ride. Papa was so bored sampai tertidur... Hehehe..... Lepas tu kami pun pergi la tengok kapal Portugis. Mmm....menarik...kapal betul ke ha? Satu yang I rasa patut difikir2kan di sini.... betul ke sejarah Melayu gilang gemilang hanya sewaktu empayar Melaka? How was it possible that Melaka became such a huge port handling lotsa ships...we must be really good then! Of all countries, China datang ke Melaka dan Puteri Hang Li Po dikahwinkan dengan Sultan Melaka. What's so special? Maju sangatkah Melaka waktu itu? Hebat benarkan Melaka? Apa2 pun I strongly believe sejarah kita bukan bermula dengan hanya sejarah Kesultanan Melaka. With the recent news about piramid Melayu found in Japan.... Wow! Peh, naik semangat sih!

Lepas tu, Sarah nak tengok A Famosa pulak. Jalan punya jalan,Nurin dah komplen...penat la... Nak papa dokong....erk...ingat ringan? Last2 told hubby bawak Naznin dan Sarah aje gi A Famosa. I, Nurin dan Mak Long stayed behind. Eh, dalam dok berdiri tu, ternampak la pulak beca2 lalu lalang kat jalan. Mmmm syok jugak naik beca. Mak Long dah tak larat nak jalan, so dia tunggu kat bus stand. Me n Nurin walked further and naik beca.... Hehehe....nasib baik budak muda yang kayuh. Kalau pakcik tua, sian jugak... Takut beca tak jalan je.... Hehehe.... Apakah maksudnya itu? So, budak tu bawak la pusing dekat building yg kaler merah tu-Stadhuys. Pastu pusing balik gi ke A Famosa pulak! Snap pics then balik jumpa mak long plus papa, Sarah n Naznin. Rupa2nya papa n kids pun naik beca from A Famosa sebab dah penat jalan.

Next, eating time. Belasah je makan kat Restoran mana tah. Ikut yg ada dlm GPS. After eating, check in and rested. Lepas Asar, tertidur. Tetiba, Nurin kejut...Mama, lapar....sambil tunjuk perut bulat dia....hehehe.... Ok la kita makan! Lepas makan, resting time. Now layan Avatar!

Mmmm....where to go tmoro?
