The journey might have started before 24 July 2009, Friday, itself. I was so excited that night that I stayed up quite late, not being able to sleep. We (three of us) were going to Melaka for out first road trip.

In the midst of all the excitement, I managed to pack (after changing bags for nearly three times), and the next morning, was just in time to wake up and made it to the designated meeting place in time. In fact, I was early (which is what I wanted because waiting for the Putra at eight something in the morning can be considered as an achievement because every body needed to go to their offices).

We had McDonald for breakfast because I had these vouchers that offers RM4.50 for a breakfast set. It was cheap and I was trying to budget so it was just perfect. And then we head to Cyberjaya (after quarreling about the importance of heading to Cyberjaya since we need to arrive in Melaka at about noon). Got ready and sang along with Michael buble and the Carpenters and head to Melaka. Was still giddy at the time.

We had a foundation for this trip called Build Me Up, Buttercup (I may have accidentally picked the name, I can’t really be sure). This will serve as a fund to cover the expenses there like toll, petrol, accommodation and outings. It made our lives easier as we all pitch in RM250 per person. And starting from Ayer Keroh toll, Anne started keeping tab of the expenses.

We arrived at about 1245pm on Friday and we had to kill time before checking in into Fenix Inn (RM 158 for Deluxe room (kenape kene buat promosi kat sini)) so we decided to go to the zoo. I may have meddled in the decision to head to that place anyways.

It was during Friday prayers so that may explain why the zoo was quite deserted. It may have been better than the Zoo Negara in Klang Valley that I remembered. The zoo had quite a number of animals and we can see the name of sponsors for the animals. I ws excited because we were able to take pictures with sun bears that are just so adorable and cuddly that I feeli like jumping into the cage and hug them one-by-one.

Ceria sungguh wajah kanak-kanak pegi zoo

' Welcome!' says Anne (says ke? sengih je kot)


Trying to become Steve Irwin : 'Hey, look! Buaya!'

Tak paham kenapa muka mesti begitu teruja.


i was actually tring to "interframe" into the picture but to no avail


Ini Dekan oke. Nama die sgt macho kan? (we only got the picture of the name. not the animal itself :D

No, don't ask me. I don't know whether I was trying to take Zill's picture or the Cabybara's

I was wearing slippers made from cow skin. And we took the pictures beside bull's cage. I was afraid the bull can smell the cow skin I'm wearing and mengamuk (like cows and bulls are related 'kenapa kau pakai sedara aku?' punya mengamuk' got it? no? good) Hence the kaki patah.

Look at those goatee's. Macho gile oke

We were supposed to take the pictures of the giraffes but it was too hazy

These sun bears are sponsored by A&W's. Good choice

AAACCKKTT! Public harassment (but actually it was my fault. the sign said that the horse might bite. but luckily it didn't got a chuck out of my back (though that can reduce my weight))

Wajah penuh impression. Tetapi kenape Zila mcm co-ol saje?

' Welcome to my house people. Ha masuk-masuk. Kasut tu celup dlm air depan pintu pagar ni ye. Jangan lupe'
Ade org ckp the name of this animal is Powertek Berhad. It's actually sponsored by the company

Posing jgn tak posing

' Hi, tengah buat ape?'

This is the star of GI Joe's star: King Cobra
Expression : Priceless
Ouh no. I was not trying to commit suicide

i was too engrossed with this sight. This should be the perfect picture for the banner instructing everyone to queue up when they want to go on a train

'jika kura-kura boleh beratur, kenapa anda tidak?

Zila must have said something really funny which I clearly can't remember


There were only two elephants by then. Mighty elephants. I like elephants but these have chains on their legs. Pity them :(

Arrived at our place for the night. Actually we are about to go out again
