Melaka One Day Trip

Melaka – full with characters and stories... will definitely visit again for more photos moment! But have to choose non-public holidays to avoid the massive traffic.

Love the arch walkway. I've waited for no people passing by to grab this shot
 

The old school coffee shop, where we rested while it rained and enjoyed our tea break. This is the same coffee shop where I had my breakfast few years ago – visiting Melaka for the first time with ex-colleagues
 

The simple pleasure of life... toasted tuna and sardine sandwiches to munch away while sipping hot coffee on a drizzling day
 

There were lots of people, but I waited and managed to grab this clean photo with just the family with the colorful umbrella!
 

Colorful trishaws, colorful shirt with bargaining in the process
 

Display lamp in one of the shops along Jonker Street... added one of my favorite quotes :)
 

Colorful building + colorful people = so many stories to tell
 

Nice architecture and details

Old/past story waiting to be told to any faithful listener
 

This uncle really mesmerize me... he seems to have so many stories to share... and I salute his patience and perseverance
 

Lanterns and hats for sale
 

Love this cafe's look, but too bad it was closed that day. Will definitely visit one day and try the food there and check out the interior
 

I like this building! I jumped with joy when saw this and made Weng to stand there for me to snap photo. Well, the attention is not on him... but the orang utan :)
 

Passing by the same coffee shop (where we had our tea break)... on our way back to get our car as dusk setting in
 
 
 

The famous chicken rice ball restaurant. We had our dinner there before proceed to get our car and starts our journey back home
 

Our simple dinner which we ate very fast (guess we were very hungry with all the walking)

How I wish...

Everyone has their own share of stories and problems. Well, I'm not excluded. Off late, I've been thinking lots and feel uneasy. For the first time since my decision in February, I felt uneasy. I keep on thinking whether my decision is correct or not. Is it because I need to wait too long, thus I'm having mix feelings along the way? Oh gosh... these feelings are killing me!!

Today, I had a conversation with KN... sharing with her what's been bothering me. Well, decision has been made, I should keep to it. But, part of me is fearing about the future.... more on financial part. At one point, I feel I want to try everything, even including working in Singapore! I've told her my crazy idea, and how stupid I was for not bringing this up before quitting. Well, she advised me it's still not late and it's OK to bring it up NOW. I truly appreciate her faith and trust on me... As much as I wanted to be part of Singapore team, I want to come clean as well... sigh. What's happening to me!! I hate being like this...so indecisive and being all gloomy.

Part of me wanted to chase my dream, part of me fear of the financial... I want to make BIG money!! I've been working hard since I started joining the workforce. Looking back, I can say I'm quite proud with what I've achieved so far... but all these don't come easy. But somehow, I feel rather tired already, been slower nowadays. Can I enjoy life for a moment... pleaseee? How I wish I'm financially free and no need to worry about every single thing! How I wish I have enough money that I can do whatever I like without being worried I don't have enough money la, I rather keep the money for something else, etc. Even sometimes wanted to eat good food also I have to think twice! At 30, I still haven't experience fine dining. Sad huh...

Hubby been supportive with whatever decisions I'm making. Good? I don't know. I don't know if he's been really listening to me and helped me to weigh the good and bad before jumping into agreeing everything with me. I also need someone to help me analyze, share my fears, and even scold me and wake me up from reality.... if needed to. How I wish his paycheck is big enough that I don't need to fear about money.... sigh

How I wish.... in real life, I can't have so many wishes. This is REALITY, wake up! But deep inside my heart, I'm wishing life... please don't be too hard on me.... please...
