Today’s Saturday… 
  Morning I though of going for a jog at the 
  recreational park at Bukit Serindit
  6.30 am i told my mom…
  No way, it’s dark n far
  *
  Ok, So I decided to go St. Paul Hill
  Me and Ah B
  She didn’t want to proceed further 
  aft we stopped by the chicken barn
  *
  Fine… 
  Morning Jog turned out to be 
  barn sight-seeing
  *
  After breakfast at 10am
  I decided that 
  i wanna go somewhere
  Ah B has been watching too much of TV
  eating too much food all day long
  *
  We went to the bus stop
  The bus was here very soon
  I paid for my fare… 
  and mom was going to hand Ah B to me.
  She protested and didn’t want to go up
  *
  So i end up on the bus all alone
  I had totally no idea where was i heading to.
  Anyway, the bus trip was a pleasant one
  *
  It’s not the usual bus
  It was a Panorama Bus
  All pretty new
  The routes are around tourist spots in Melaka
  *
  It’s something like SBS bus in Sg
  Well air-conditioned
  clean seats and even computerized tix
  *
  It’s written on the tix
  the tix is valid for the whole day trip
  Wow, not bad ya… 
  RM 1 for a whole-day tix
  *
  Passed by the State library…  
  Have had spent some times here
  studying with my buddies during my 
  secondary school days
  *
  The new wing is finally done
  But i haven’t been in there before
  I haven’t been here for ages
  Next time maybe
  Since the bus service is so convenient now
  *
  I ended up at the Bus terminal, Sentral
  I decided to walk across the Gerbang Sentral
  the flyover linking Tesco.
  *
  Can’t believe it
  i was wandering alone in Tesco
  *
  I came out with only RM 10 in my bag
  So now left with RM 9 after 
  paying for my bus fare
  So my budget for this trip was only RM 8
  RM 1 for back up
  *
  I bought a can of St. Dalfour jam, RM 7.90
  cause it’s within my budget 
  *
  Then i headed back to Sentral
  Took another bus home.
  It costed me another RM 1
  So i was only left with 10 cents
  *
  It’s so miserable
  I didn’t have my purse with me
  No IC, no nothing…
  *
  Like a domestic helper…
  Plus a Eeyore milk bottle
  a box of Pocky 
  and a 200ml water bottle
  all belong to Ah B
  *
  Too bad I didn’t have my camera with me
  My mom said it’s not safe to 
  bring alone camera on a bus trip
  *
  On my trip back
  it felt weird
  I was the only Chinese
  and I was the only one alone
  *
  The bus past by Hang Tuah Walk
  The Gloria Jeans outlet has closed down
  replaced by another local mamak stall
  *  
  And another failed project
  the Digital Mall
  The only operating shop is Pizza Hut
  which is so so small
  *
  Then next stop
  it is Mahkota Parade and Dataran Pahlwan
  *
  I wanna go shopping for all the items
  i had spotted yesterday
  considering this morning 
  i was richer by RM 200
  I had RM 300 cold hot cash with me
  without the need to ask for money
  *
  80% of the bus passengers got down
  But i couldn’t
  With 10 cents in the bag
  Forget about it
  *
  I continued feasting on the Pocky
  Pocky has never tasted that great
  especially when you are hungry, penniless
  I drank from the Kiddi cup too
  *
  The driver had to informed the passengers
  about important stops, 
  including The Stadhuys, Mahkota
  and Penjara (The Jail)
  *
  Is it supposed to be one of the tourist destinations?
  I am not too sure
  Maybe the smallest jail in Malaysia
  An unique site in the midth of city
  *
  Reached home
  Ah B was soundly aslept
  Such a traitor, who ffked on me
  during the very very very last moment
  *
  It’s OK
  it is better during half-way along the trip
  she suddenly says she wants to go home
  You knows how 
  kid misses home quite easily
  *
  Touring around is not a bad idea…
  And i have learnt to 
  appreciate the public transport
  *
  At Sg and Nilai and elsewhere,
  I learn to take public transport for survival
  But i have never taken it seriously back here
  *
  Maybe I need a good camera
  The Sony one is really great.
  Sleek, touch screen, fancy color
  *
  Despite the cultural, patriotic, melancholic me
  the shopaholic me still rules them all…  
  Where am i heading tonight?
