Malacca Trip

Last Thursday night, mum, sis and I travelled to JB and on Friday we drove to Malacca. Sis and I had dinner at this quaint little cafe called Stolen Cup along Jonker Street while mum rested at Pines Hotel at night. The next morning, I had food poisoning from the buffet breakfast. I got a jab from the nearby clinic to stop my vomitting. Also, I rested in the hotel for the rest of the day, while mum and sis went to visit my 90+ year old aunty. That evening we caught a spectacular performance of Encore Melaka, Impression Series. That was a real visual feast. By Sunday, we had to travel back to JB and on Monday, return to Singapore. I caught up with Ee Leng at Regent Hotel for an afternoon tea to have a belated birthday celebration with her.

In another week's time or so, I am planning to go to Malacca with mum again, to run some errands.

Korea and Shanghai Holidays

Two weeks ago at this time, sis and I have just touched down at Jeju Island for the first time of our lives. It has been a memorable trip to Korea and Shanghai for sis and I. We viewed beautiful autumn colours in the mountains, made kimchi and Ginseng chicken together. We also went to one day Red Ginseng Spa which was loads of fun. At Jeju itself, the most delightful visit was to Joanne Bear Museum. We also visited the theme park called Everland and there were beautiful flowers there. It has been over fifteen years ago since I last visited Shanghai. The cityscape of Shanghai has changed. A lot more skyscrapers have shot up. We even went up to the 100 storeys high Shanghai World Financial Center. The night view was stunning from up there. I'm truly grateful for my friends who prayed for my sis and I during the trip. We got along well enough and had minimal conflicts throughout the trip. Praise God.
