... by the quay). I am pretty sure I have never seen such lavish digs as Fortified gate to old city of Melakain some places located around there. I wish we could have stayed, and we may regret it, but we jumped on the next Jetstar flight to Bangkok. I kind of wanted to get some pics of the race, and from what we heard on the TV and from some locals the race was a bust. Not enough interest, the...

... on during the day--that lasted about two and a half glorious hours. The bus trip from Singapore to Melaka (I prefer Malacca) took about three and a half hours. It was a damned interesting drive. Rolling hills, palm plantations as far as the eye can see, verdant green lush jungles peppered with orange flowers and from time to time cell towers jutting straight up from the jungle. (You can...

Technorati tags: Humor, WTF, Shah Rukh Khan, Melaka, Datuk Okay, okay, so Walski got this bit of totally worthless news from Utusan - Malaysia's most biased newspaper in existence. So sue him... Walski monitors what garbage the piece of shit paper puts out, and occassionally - apart from the continued Hindraf bashing - you get gems like this (translation by myAsylum).Pelakon terkenal Bollywood,...

After walking around in vain for a couple of hours whilst looking for some half decent accomodation, a friendly French guy named Aziz collared us and pointed us in the direction of the place he was staying at, telling us that he stumbled on it by chance one day prior and was very happy there...

Why Chiang Mai? Well, I'll get to that in a minute. But first, a few thoughts on the road up here. Looking at a map on would think the trip from Melaka to Chiang Mai wouldn't take that long, nor that it was very far. You'd be really, really wrong. I calculated it's about 1600 miles from Melaka to Chiang Mai. That is a hell of a lot of ground to cover in 48 hours. But I did it and it...

This was served in Alexander's Birthday Party. I have made so many kuihs and they were all so rich with coconut milk, so i decided to make this agar agar using gula melaka and condensed milk. I think i should have posted a disclaimer for the guests, that i will not be responsible for any health issues as all the food served are not healthy. Well, how often do the guests get pampered with all...

Sailors from all parts of Asia and Middle East (or what they call here western Asia) came here following the Monsoon, traded and then left when it was blowing in the opposite direction. So there...
