After weeks of planning and recruiting, finally we managed to go for our sem break trip! The destination was what stated at the title - MA-LAC-CA! Why this historical city? It's simple - cheap and delicious FOOD! Yummy!
Before that we actually planned for a one day trip, but after some serious consideration, we decided to change it to a three days two nights stay to visit to every corner of the city flourished with historical value. Besides that, we also planned for a very special event.
Now let's see the list of humans and spirits going there:

We departed from Sungai Long at time about 2pm and departed approximately two hours after that. Our first stop? We scouted the area which we would make photo shootings for advertisement - Hotel de Lisbon. It is a newly established hotel and is situated by the seaside of Portuguese settlement. Here are the scout reports:
The seaside of Hotel de Lisbon. Quite a pretty scenery.
This wasn't that nice. I hope that the management will fix it.
In case you still don't know, Warren's elder brother is actually the owner of the hotel and that's why we got the opportunity to take the job.
After some preliminary investigation, we went for our first dinner in Malacca... and it's the famous Satay Celup! We planned to go for the most popular Capitol Satay Celop at Jonker's Street at first but since it's closed that day unfortunately, we simply chose another, which was McQuek's.

Guess what? Coincidently we saw Sze Le who is enjoying her semester break at home town during our journey to McQuek's and so we invited her to join us for a meal. The satay celup is 55 cents per stick which is quite expensive. The satay sauce is rather ordinary anyway.
The next thing we did? Carmen thought that it would be nice to visit to the local shopping mall so we went to Dataran Pahlawan Megamall and Mahkota Parade, which are located just opposite to each other. And guess what? Right on the Dataran Pahlawan where Tunku Abdul Rahman firstly declared our nation's independence we saw this:
Balloooooooooooon!
Lucky us. It's so beautiful floating up in the night sky. BIG lantern haha. It was a promotional event anyway. We went inside the mall to walk around and enjoyed some tarts sold in an outlet. The two malls are so tiny compared to Mid Valley. LOL.
After that we went back to the hotel and had a nice night talk before continued our journey on the next day...
