After a long and much needed sleep (I fell asleep on the sofa from 2030 last til now, which is about 0800), here's the rest of the PD and Malacca recap.
Day 2
Woke up at 0600 since Mangkuk was the big bad zookeeper and he made sure that all the guys were up before the 0630 a.m. exercise (I hate that part of the itinerary). Of course , thanks to him, we get to watch the girls get points deducted from their score ^_^ After an hour of ridiculous exercises (too bad no pictures of those), we went back to our rooms for breakfast or in my case, sleep.
At 0930, we started to leave from PD to go to Malacca. Mei insisted on giving me sandwiches and tea because I didn't show up for breakfast even though I insisted that I was okay. So the poor sandwiches and tea ended up not being touched in my car since I brought a packet of that Loacker biscuits or however they're spelt. We started off by taking the old road which took us about an hour to navigate through (and Reza, who was leading the way, took a wrong turn again ^_^) before we reached the highway and took off to Malacca.
We reached Malacca at 1130 and the first place we visited was the maritime museum and it was a big disappointment (at least to me) since it was actually just a display of the history of Malacca as a port. Boring...but there were a lot Ing Bing posers onboard that ship that day. I wondered why...
Anyways after that we walked across the road to the Arts and Crafts shop to do some interview and surveys as well as shopping and posing for photos. I bought a bow and arrow set, which looks quite cool but you can't use it to shoot someone since it's purely decorative. Then my group surveyed this bunch of Aussies and I think I definitely spooked this Aussie girl out since I was chatting with her about Australia and I think that she thinks that I was thinking about hooking up with her. Please...as if I want more ang more-s as my relatives. Having them as my distant cousins is good enough for me, thank you very much.
After that survey, we went off to the Portuguese restaurant that my class wanted to go to last semester but was closed because they were only open for dinner and we had a marvelous lunch over there. Wait-a-minute, some of you might be saying. How can we have lunch at a place where it's only open for dinner? Easy: we had a secret weapon by the name of Cherlyn Yeo and the owner of the place turned out to be her mother's brother's brother-in-law (if I got it correct that is. There were so many mother, brother and sister along the introduction that anyone could get lost). Hehehe...now we know how to get the place open up for us next time around ^_^
After that we went to the Dutch Square and there were more Ing Bing posers scattered throughout the entire place since this was the original spot where Ing Bing did what he did the last time round ^_^ Took the girls out for a guided tour (at least the girls who are part of the three-member group in my group which was Kai Yiing and Sarin). Of course I forgot most of the stuff that the tour guide told us the last time around so you can't really call it a guided tour now can you?
Once the survey and interview was done at 1600, we had another 'discussion' about where we wanted to go to: whether we should go back to PD or should we go to Jonker Street. We decided on the latter option and spent about half an hour driving around the Dutch Square looking for parking. In the end, we ended up about three hundred metres from where we originally parked at...
Lots of shopping were done at Jonker Street; I myself bought one T-shirt (It says 'Play Safe, Use Malaysian Rubber' and it came with a free condom ^_^) and to everyone's surprise, I bought this black Chinese suit that looked really cool and felt really cool, too. Hehehe...more on that shirt later. Oh and btw, Reza bought the same shirts as I did too, only different colours. Either you can call it creepy or you can say that great minds think alike ^_^
After that trip, we went back to PD at around 1730 and reached back at our hotel at sometime after 1930. We were dead tired which probably explains why the first three cars of the convoy (Puteri, Azizan and Merinda) took the wrong turn that Reza took yesterday. My car went 'What the hell did they turn in there for?' and Reza's car was laughing for all their worth ^_^ After that, Reza reclaimed all the points he had lost back from Puteri and then some.
Anyways after that it was BBQ dinner time and we decided to play a little dress-up. Me and Reza dressed up in that Chinese outfit that we bought at Jonker street and Gary and Minh put on the shirts that they bought over there as well. We were proclaimed as the best dressed for that dinner and Puteri gave us ten points for dressing up. The girls got pretty jealous at this and some of them went back to their rooms in order to dress up although in the end, they didn't look half as good as I did ^_^
We stuffed ourselves silly at the BBQ even though the food wasn't really that nice except for the mee siam but who cares anyway? Gossip was exchanged especially about one person (who shall not be named just in case that person reads this blog but those who were there at my table will know who it is) and at the end of the dinner, Puteri said grats to all of us for proving her wrong about some of us being spoilt city brats and all that other jazz.
Then came the drunken orgy fest in the girls' room which was unsanctioned by Puteri, of course ^_^ I myself had 1 glass of red wine, 2 glasses of Scotch (they nearly polished it off the night before and I understand why: it was good shite despite the fact that it was locally blended. Now I know what Scotch to continue buying next time) and I lost count of how much vodka I drank. The world went spinning after that and I recall Reza telling a ghost story, lots of trips to Mei's toilet (including the ones where I threw up) and Cherlyn hiding the last of the vodka from me (I know I polished off half the bottle myself...again and I was ready to keep on drinking the rest of it but then again...)
Day 3
To my big surprise, I woke up with a perfectly clear head. Not a hangover in sight. Of course, I was still in the girl's room where Minh and Gary had tucked me into. Went back to my room and slept until about 0900 and started to pack up and watch NBA (76er's versus the Lakers). Here I found out that we have about two hundred leftover and it was decided that the money be give to the drivers to cover for their petrol and toll expenses...again since I undercalculated the mileage. We congregated at the carpark at around 1100 and at 1130 we left PD for home.
Only one other thing happened. I got seperated from the main convoy since I was trying to overtake a van but there was no place for me to cut into for the next kilometre or two so I ended going a different way then the others. Oh well...
Got to go now since I have Farinda's open house to attend. Damn...it took me more than an hour to write this post...Really have to rush...
TTFN.
