Last weekend, we joined my in laws for a little getaway in Malacca. We as in me, my wife and my youngest. My brother in law is attending his graduation at the Malacca Technical University (UTeM) and he booked us a homestay to stay near town to get together and to celebrate I guess.
Earlier in the day, we visited Hana in Rembau to drop off supplies and financial aid. I wish we could leave for Malacca earlier but Hana insisted we stay longer because she needed to use the laptop to study. In the end, we only got to Malacca, specifically Porta De Santiago after 6.30 pm thanks to some really bad traffic. As a budding photographer, it would be egregious of me if I don’t walk around and take some pictures. And took some pictures I did but as it was already sunset and my youngest is getting restless after the long drive, so I could only manage a few.
The homestay was a unit at The Wave Residences not far from town. The accommodation was okay I guess but we had to sleep on a bed in the living room because all the proper rooms are taken (since we arrived late). I don’t hate it but obviously I’d preferred if we had some privacy. My wife had a good time catching up with her siblings and parent. The next morning, I took Asif for a swim downstairs and saved a kid from drowning. His mother left him and his brother alone for two minutes and before you know it, he was gasping for air in the middle of the adult pool. Who even does that.
Afterwards, we stop by the famous Pak Man Asam Pedas for lunch. It was as good as ever. Linda’s sister took a ride with us so I don’t have the chance to see any more of Malacca or take more photos which is a shame really. But then, family comes first. That concludes our shot getaway to Malacca and not doing much. Next month, we will be joining Linda’s sister in a bungalow resort in Port Dickson. Can’t wait.
