Sorrow first. I’ve witnessed the fragility of life, through the sudden snap of a friend’s presence in this dimension. Now all that was left for the closed ones is to steady themselves and pick up the pieces. “Life goes on”…

Happiness, is to witness the matrimonial event of another friend and his “marathonic” other half. Siang Hock and Karen tied the knot on 30 September 2006, Saturday. The wedding? In one of Malacca’s golf and country club called Orna Resort. Seems like the place is pretty new, as several things are still in the midst of establishing itself. That includes the 6-room bungalow that we put up at. Siang Hock was very thoughful in terms of transport arrangement and the roof over our head for the evening. Here are some of the highlights of the wedding, before and after… Courtesy of my trusty Nokia N70, Canon EOS and a couple of Canon’s others..

The VERY RED “BOMB”! Was quite surprised as it came in a DESC envelope. It brought back some nolstagia cuz it’s been such a long time that I saw such a RED invitation except during my grandmother’s days… Lucky I brought this with me, otherwise we would be lost. Seems like I was the only one who brought this along though. Haha…

Upon entering into Malacca, our trusty driver, Mr Chuan brought us to this kopitiam for breakfast. Looks like an ordinary close-up shot of the “Big Pau”? The dim sum auntie said, “We won’t bluff people one! Our Big Pau really not Big at all one!” And so we placed our orders.

Check it out man! The size proportion of it to the rest of the dim sum!!! So, guess how many we ordered!?! *faint*

After breakfast, another few kilometres up the hilly road.. Tada! Orna Resort!Upon checking in at the resort, I stumbled upon this! Our makan place for the evening! So, where’s our “resting place”? It’s “5-minute” walk from the resort lobby… Well… Walk where??? Looks like some scary, deserted mansion huh? Enter at your own risks!!!

The Mansion

The hall, the kitchen and the 2nd storey waiting area… Oi! Who’s turn to cook today har?!

After selecting our rooms, it’s jalan jalan time!!! Yeh!!!

Mr Chuan brought us to this place that’s equivalent to Singapore’s Orchard Road. But I thought it reminded me more of Little India or Chinatown… This place is a church and also a museum. Wow.. Looks like our Singapore rickshaw uncles really lose to these uncle’s rickshaws in terms of decor manz..

Welcome to Melaka?? Ccrreeeeeepppppiii… Snapshot from an antique shop entrance.

This one! The 正宗 Chicken Rice Ball of Malacca! There are so many stalls selling Chicken Rice Ball but Mr Chuan said this is the Real Stuff, Cannot Bluff! Too bad we going to makan dinner later liao so… we’ll pass! Oh and ah, nice building decor..

Next! More goodies stuff at Tan Kim Hock!

Eh? Game of Topple, anyone?

Hmmm.. Common sense is not common?? For a snippet of moment, I felt lucky to be born in Singapore. But then again… Bad Fer, bad gal!
