Melaka is juz GREAT! (Day 2)

Day 2 (12th May)

We had a sumptuous buffet style breakfast afterwhich we split up into our allocated groups. Some people to highlight in my group “RUBY” are

Gladys, her husband & their 5 weeks old baby!!! Wow. I salute them. It was perfectly legitimate for them to stay home to babysit & for Gladys to recuperate. (A lady is given 3 months of maternity leave after her delivery). But they chose to garang garang & sweat it out with the rest in Melaka than in the comfort of their homes.


Alan (guy in red)
He may be deaf & mute but it didn't stop him from leading
a normal and exciting life. We communicated via handsigns,
writings and gesturing. And it works! Alan is also happily
married with a wonderful lady and a proud father of a
baby boy. He has really inspired me. Hope to write more about him soon.

The various stops in our exploration of Melaka.

Melaka Christ Church:
Built entirely of red bricks that were brought in from Holland, the building was erected by the Dutch and was later converted by the British for Anglican usage. Built since 1753, the church is a fine example of the Dutch's architectural skills. Some interesting points to note are the handmade church pews, the Brass Bible, the "Last Supper" in glazed tiles, the tombstone in Armenian, and of course, the skillfully-made ceiling beams done without any joints. To date, this fiery red building is still very much in use. http://www.thingsasian.com/goto_article/article.2553.html

St Paul Church: Tourist attraction

Wooden ship: Tourist attraction

Highest peak of expressway:
We were “challenged by choice” to trek up the highest point of the expressway. Easy for some. Do not forget we have a 5 weeks old baby and a mommy who's recovering..... But truly, “If you really put your heart to it, nothing is impossible”. And Gladys & her hubby epitomized that by leading the way and was the first to troop up the expressway. Woah! We made it! TOGETHER!

Something Shopping Centre (Yikes forgotten the name):
Stopover for lunch. Yummy chicken rice & grabbed a new t-shirt!

After all the happening trekking in the afternoon in the evening we had a heart to heart talk on “The Differences between Man & Woman”. The speaker - Mrs Julie shared her thoughts about the differences between guys and gals. However in all our differences we have been fashioned to complement one another.
