Puss In Boots????

I think cats loves me.. I'm not simply tooting my own horn but seriously I'm not joking. Back in my hometown in Kuching (dah la da name of my state is named cat in Bahasa Melayu), cat's always seem to come over to my house to give birth and end up my mom just keeps them as pets. Now I'm all the way in Malacca, the same thing happened (except the giving birth part).

There's this very huge white with gray spots male cat, always comes to my house to have a drink. It looked very well taken care of but I don't know who the owner is. So what the heck, I'll just let it have it's drink. A few days past, the cat came more frequent and it became more at home in my house. It can just waltz into my house like nobody's business and climb onto the couch and just lay there. Soon the cat unofficially became our cat. We call him Sam. He's a funny cat, especially when he sleeps. He sleeps like a human. Everytime when he sleeps, I'll take a picture of the position he is in. Below are a few. Enjoy..

P/S: Non of the positions were made by any human. It was done entirely by the cat himself.




The pictures above was when he was fidgeting cause we were watching tv too loud. He was actually trying to cover his ears..


This one was when the ceiling light was on. It was too bright for him too sleep so he covered his eyes.

Yes, he has his own teddy.

I was taking a nap one afternoon on the living room mattress and that silly cat can just waltz up behind me and join me sleep.



Cute ain't he... I think so too. ;p

Malacca Trip Part II

Wow it's been a long time since I last posted something here.. Anyways, I thought of returning by starting off with my Malacca Trip Part II. As you have read in my Part I, my beloved friend Annabel dropped by Malacca to hang out with me. Here's the scoops on what we did on day two of her trip.

On this very bright clear sky day, I've asked her does she still remember her M'sian History? Especially the history on Malacca??? She replied "I kinda remember a lil.." with a grin on her face. So I asked her can she guess where am I taking her today.. She gave me a I have no bloody idea look but tried to guess anyways.. "The fort???" she asked.. Yup!! That's right on the dot. I plan to bring her to see the famous A'Famosa Fort that we only read and saw pictures of in our history books way back in highschool..

We were greeted with the view of the ever majestic A'Famosa Entrance guarded by two cannons on each side. As usual, when we reach somewhere new we take out our trusty camera phone and start snapping all the way. I thought we should first of all do some cam-whoring activity.






Then Annabel found out (which I kinda forgot to mention) that we had to climb a ton of stairs to get to the top of the hill to the main fortress. She was about to reject the whole idea of climbing up but I assured her it is worth it when you reach the top. So up the stair we go under the hot sunny day.

This is the view of the main fortress from the A'Famosa Entrance.

This is the inside of the fortress.


This is what I meant. Isn't it a perfect view of the sea.... Can you imagine hundred of years ago, all those buildings down below was once the sea. The sea is still there. Just look past all the buildings and you can see the blue waters.



I think this was built by the Dutch rulers way back when. (Is it now??????)



This is the very first fire truck used in Malaya.

After taking in all the beautiful views and refreshing cooling air on the fortress hill, we headed to another historical place called Stadthuys Building. It's red and was built by the Portuguese.

Here's the very red Christ Church. People still do masses here every Sunday.



Here's the fountain in front of the church. There's actually a history behind this fountain too but I can't remember what was it. I'm really bad at memorizing history. ;p


A full view of how the fountain looks like. Feels like in Italy. hahaha..

The red clock tower to tell everybody in Malaya/Malaysia the time. I heard a story from a Malaccan friend, he said that long ago the Portuguese built this clock tower for the Malayan villagers. When the clock bell rings at night (I can't remember at what time), everyone must go home and shut their doors. No one was allowed out after curfew. I found it a good way to reduce crimes in Malaya. What for stay out so late. It's not like there's any clubs in those days. ;p By the way, the clock tower still works til today. You can definitely still hear the clock bell from 5 km away..

Tired and exhausted, Annabel had tones of fun and she got to take pictures at all the historical monuments that we saw in our history books. In short, she had a blast in Malacca with the food especially and I do really hope she would like to drop by again. There's more to show you here. Love you loads Annabel!!! :x
