Just got back from Malacca 2 hours ago, and hell yes, it was a tiring day! As i had my taekwondo training last night after not attending training for more than 1 month, my leg muscles are aching now that we had some leg training yesterday. I cannot even go down the stairs with little effort. I had to grit my teeth in effort to bare the aching pain. *Poor legs* Anyway, I woke up at 4.30am this morning to get ready for the day's trip there. I couldn't really fall asleep after attempting to sleep at 12++midnight this morning. Maybe that is why I am feeling so lathargic right now. My dad drove us there in his car, so we left our dear cosy home at 5.15am. Rather early huh?? We headed for the '2nd link' at Tuas(Which was rather near my house). We drove in and headed straight to Malacca(our destination). The journey there was so long. After like 1 hour of travelling, I soon got tired of seeing trees, palm-oil plantations and more palm-oil plantations. I ended up dozing off. The car was so cold. When i awoke at 7 plus, my dad was still driving the car. And guess what? The environment that we are in was so cold that there were mists all around us(just like how it is in Genting). We winded down a little bit of our window and poked our fingers out of the car through the gap. *brrrrr* The air was so cold and strong blowing. After that, we winded up the windows. We stopped at a nearby 'R & R'-Rest and Recharge. Or is it 'Rest and Relax'?? Anyway, it is a place where tourists or travellers stop to have their meals, visit the washroom or pump their petrol. My family and I ate the Nasi Lemak. It cost S$0.80. Personally, I think it's quite cheap. After having our breakfast, we headed on for our destination. Soon, we reached. My dad drove around the place and here are some random photos that i took. (Please pardon me for the poor quality):

After Driving around, we decided to park at a carpark where there is a musuem and here are the sparse photos taken in the musuem:

~The old drainage system used.

~Old porcelain plates embedded in the 'sand bed'.

~Sharp swords of the past.

~Gun of the past.

~These are the trishaws & rickshaws used.

~The incense burner in olden China with pheonix and dragon engraved to it.

After quite a long walk in the musuem, we headed back to the car and drove around still. I ended up sleeping in the car again. The next thing i knew, my dad had already parked his car at a shopping mall called 'Mahkota Parade'. At the mall, there happended to be a show casting 'Nickeloden' cartoon characters such as Dora the explorer, Spongebob Squarepants etc. I managed to snap photos of Spongebob Squarepants as well as Patrick Star:

We went to have our lunch at a Japanese buffet restaurant called 'Sibaraku Japanese Teppanyaki Restaurant'. The cost for each person is RM21.80 and my whole family thinks it is very cheap. There were food available such as Takoyaki, sushi, tempura, etc including Teppanyaki. The Teppanyaki was just so mouth watering and delicious. Too bad, I did not manage to take photos of the food. But one should really go and try out the food there. I forgot the exact unit of the restaurant, but it is definately on the second floor. The rest of our trip was visting those places such as the beach, 'village' and town. Overall, I think it is not bad. Might be going to Genting and KL sometime soon. *hahas*

Anyway, I had my training yesterday. Yeah! I finally found out who is my coach for my 'chil-jang' pattern team. It would be Georgina, a graduate a few years back. She is pretty, slim and tall. Okie la. She teach quite good la. Quite strict and high standard. She kept asking us to do the first few steps of the pattern. If we make a slight mistake, she will ask us to re-do everything again. And what's worst? As we had leg training exercise before that, and my pattern requires us to balance on tip-toe(cat-stance). This causes us to exert force on our calfs and when that happens. OH MAN!! The feeling is just beyond description. XD I LOVE THAT FEELING. -Yeah! Right! *hahas* Anyway, there would be training again this coming Tuesday and subsequent Tuesdays and Fridays.

I am wondering, are solutions to problems really an ending to it, or is it just another opening of a new found problem? Should I find my own solutions or should i rely on others for them? Sometimes, I wish I can find the answer to my own problems. *haiis*

I should end here now. Currently having gastric again. Guess what? I skipped my dinner again! *hahas*
