Malacca trip during the weekend!

Hello!!!! Just came back from Malacca yesterday night at 11 plus . The trip was GREAT! It was actually a 3hr plus bus ride to Malacca straight through without stopping but obviously we had to stop . And we stopeed at a Nasi Lemak farm shall i say, and a sweet potato farm and a bee farm. The Nasi Lemak farm (mushroom) was great because we had nasi lemak with fried mushrooms and authentic nasi lemak chilli. haha. And being a i-can't-really-eat-chilli person it was rather surprising that i could tahan the chilli and get more. haha. Then at the sweet potato farm, i did not really eat the goodies provided for us because i'm not a sweet potato eater. Yeah during a crisis, i think i will be the first to die due to starvation. haha. Then we made our way to the bee farm which was not what i expected. Because, i thought we had to wear safety nets and cover over our heads and body like we see in Australia or shows, but we did not and could just walk in and view the beessssssssss.

In the farm, it showed the body structure of the bee, the sting, the honey sac, its glands and what have u.. Then we saw the honey comb some were completed some weren't and were in the process of being done. We met bees upfront and personal, flying around . It was quite scary becaquse there was the fear of being stung accidentally and ofcourse there were kids around ... The bee guy took one ermmm what do u call that, a slide of honey comb with bees and showed us a queen bee, which was longer and larger than the working bees and we were told that if there were two bees that wanted her, they would fight and see who died/lost. It was interesting. Plus we got to try honey firsthand from the comb itself. Sweet and delicious. I was skeptical at first but i did in the end. haha. There was a bee flying where the honey was and oh hell i was afraid that it would sting me...

After the bee farm, we went for lunch at a nonya restaurant which was nice coz got the red chicken. Yums... then we continued our way to malacca to our hotel, which we were given about an hour plus to freshen up before we went for dinner and then to the night market. Unexpectantly, we had our dinner an hour later because some how the bus driver could not find the place. He kept going back to the hotel 3 times. lol. But finally we could, at a peranakan restaurant. Then we went back to the hotel coz too tired to walk at the night market.

Watched a hollywood show, The Core, Hilary Swank and Lawerance Fishbourne and other famous hollywood actors and actoresses. Then went to bed.

Woke up at 7.55 am then went for breakfast which was not what i expected though. Then went back up to shower and then checked out of the hotel and headed home. Went to an alien exhibition and read interesting things. Then went on our journey. Then we had lunch and then continued our journey to Johor where we had seafood for dinner and then we went through customs on both sides and then reached home. Haha. It was a good experience. haha.
