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?
