We finished everything... Well, except for that one muffin.

It was tiring, fun and fulfilling. We pretty much bought almost everything we need to decorate the room. But there is still alot of other things to prepare. Well, a step at a time and eventually it will all be done. Hopefully soon...

Short Trip: Long Drive to Nilai (Day 1)

We decided to try and make our way to Nilai 3 again. This time, not so early. We left house at about 5.30am. It was a long 4 hours drive. We reached there around 10.00am. Most of the shops are still close, though some are in the midst of opening.

We stopped here for breakfast...

Finally, we reached our destination...

Skinned cow!

The stall specialised in mutton soup...

Shopping!

Nilai-3 version of KBox?

The Prince and the King?

Freshmade bahulu... YUM!

Our favourite restaurant in Melaka...

Our Q no...

The great view at the restaurant...

While waiting for the food...

Ikan pari bakar... It's kind of dry.

Chapchai...

Calamaries... The best we've ever tasted!

Steam fish... So hungry that we forgot to take photo until 1/2 way...

Wastage...

Leftovers...

We drove back to Melaka to rest for the night...

The hotel front...

Our room...

Vin playing around with his new bottle holder...

Vin at the hotel entrance...

Sel at the hotel lobby...

It was super hot shopping at Nilai-3. And things are not as cheap as we thought. It's about the same price as anywhere else in Malaysia. Anyway, we mainly spend on the items for the wedding such as bedsheets and curtains.

We head back to Melaka for dinner and rest for the night. Even with the GPS, we actually got loss because the roads in Malaysia had changed. Anyway, it was a good thing we got loss as we managed to get a good view of the "moving" ferris wheel. It is said that the ferris wheel is shifted from state to state over time.

Well, that's it for day 1. Will update on day 2 soon...
