After my PMR exam`2007

THE ESCAPE
At last PMR is over... hurray!!! Now I have the chance to escape from the chaotic life in the crazy town next to the metropolitan city... HURRY!!! again for that...
Yup, that`s right... I did a series of plans to runway...


->the first runaway (14th - 16th October 2007)
The Malacca Wedding...
My fifth aunt`s son is getting married... actually he is married( cos I wrote this after I went to his wedding =.=)

~DAY 1~
It was odd actually... I and my mum went to Malacca a day earlier than my dad and bro...
How? Me and mum went to Seremban by train quite early in the morning...
It actually took us 1 hour to reach Seremban from Kajang...
We met up with my second aunt at the Seremban train station...
while they took us to their house 1st...
We continue our journey to Malacca with my second aunt and her son...
time just passed by...
I don`t really know is it fast or slow...

the only thing I know is that my mum and aunt chatted a lot...
and I saw many beautiful things outside the window
... nature that`s what I mean...
... I like nature a lot...


~WELCOME TO MALACCA~
Lastly, we reach to Malacca...
... actually now is only the beginning of our runaway 'mission'...
...the 'mission' to find peace and quiet to relax our mind and soul...

The hard part is here
...
Now
although we are in Malacca state but...
we don`t know where is my fifth aunt house...
so we have to find the house... ...
we went north, south, east, west... where is the house!?
... ...our stomach started to call for lunch...
so we went to the town and search for food...
I ate 'char kuey tiao'... although I know that is not the local delicacy...
because I`m too hungry... and the prise is quite reasonable...
After filling up our tummy... we only have energy to continue to search for that mysterious place...
... thanks to our patience... we found my fifth aunt house...
... the whole journey was quite tiring... I just want to get out of the car and rest...

Whoa... the house is very big and beautifully furnished...
I just room around the house and greet my relatives...
while my mum chatted with my aunties and others....
...they didn`t see for each for a few months already...
...that`s why they have so many things to talk...

After resting for awhile, I went to clean up myself...
never thought time passes by so quickly...
all my aunties and uncle are busying in the kitchen preparing for the buffet dinner already...
... all the food they prepared themselves... furthermore my uncle is a great cook...
... I`m so fortunate... had the chance to eat great food!
... I helped to serve the dishes and clean the table...
... ... It rained that night, but it didn`t stop the crowd from coming...
the buffet was great... nice food, good crowd...
after all the guests had went back... we started to clean up...
... with little afford and many working hands...
... we cleaned up the whole house...

The watch on my hand showed 11.45pm already...
...but all my aunties and uncles aren`t in bed even the bridegroom too...
... although the next day is the big day...
... actually they are busying in the kitchen again...
they are preparing 'tong yuen'...
... 'tong yuen' is a type of Chinese traditional dessert...
... it is round in shape and made of glutinous rice flour...
... it is served with ginger syrup soup...
... it is a must have as it symbolized 'tuan yuan' , together forever...
after I know what was happening in the kitchen, I lend a helping hand...
we row and row... a ball and another and another...
finally, we finish making the sweet dessert...

The hotel we stayed the first night is at my aunt house...
the light offed... the first day ended...

~DAY 2~
Rise and shine... today is the big day...
... still feeling a little sleepy... because I didn`t had a good night sleep...
... we had 'wan tan mee' for our breakfast...
the bridegroom had started preparing himself already...
... the time comes...
it is time to go and fetch the bride...
we wished him good luck and he went off...

Not long... my dad, bro and some aunties from Kajang arrived...
they were just in time to join the ceremony...
Red crackers lighted... pili-pala-pili-pala...
the bridegroom brought the bride home...
they prayed and a tea ceremony is held...


2.30pm... the ceremony had just ended...
we had 'Hainanist chicken rice' for our lunch
... the chicken rice tasted the same as all other ordinary chicken rice...
... but... this chicken rice is round in shape... just like fishball...

After our lunch... me and my family went to search for a hotel to put a night there...
we took hours to look for a hotel to stay at...
... god blessed us...
we got a room finally...
even better... the hotel is situated just nest to the place where the wedding dinner is held...
we cleaned up ourselves and prepared for the dinner...

Woa...
the wedding dinner is very grand...
... the red carpet, the flowers, the decorations... ...
... cos this is my uncle`s oldest son wedding dinner...
... that is why so grand...
we did not entertain our taste buts only...
but all others 5 senses too...
...all together 6 senses?
...yup... even our soul was entertained...

The dinner ended with lots of laughter and cheers...
me and my family went back to the hotel and had a good night sleep...

~DAY 3~
We woke up about 7.30am... and had a good breakfast...
... today we went touring around Malacca...
... we went to Stadhuys... a historical tourist attraction place...
we also went to Jonker`s street... a place you must go when visiting Malacca...
we also tasted some famous delicacies... such as 'cendol' and 'dodol'...

We visited quite many interesting places in Malacca...
... it just bring you back to the late 1880`s...
it is just like magic...


... time flies... and every story has to have an end...
and this is also the sadest part...
... but do not be too sad because all endings are also beginings... ...

~THE END~
