Melaka river cruise
a selection of fish to be grilledMelaka has become too touristic and too commercialised.There's nothing wrong with being both but I wish it had happened in a more natural way and not too fast. I miss the old Melaka of the late 80s when I had a 3-month stint, living in Melaka. The old country road is now shadowed by the highway but I made an effort to drive the old country road, passing Perigi Hang Tuah and enjoying old Melakan homes with colourful tiled tangga.
In the city..wahlau..not one shopping mall but two...ada noisy concert lagi on roof-top of the mall.Very da canggih mah.So this is how we shape the future generation? Galakkan budaya lepak melepak? Budaya obese? Makan non stop.Budaya menuju arah bebas sex? Bagi mereka ruang untuk belajar merokok at a very early age?
I took a walk on Jonker Street and loved the scene of cruises on the river.Was tempted to join one but at the sight of air yang macam longkang busuk, I changed my mind (what if I fell down? Yuks!) Kerajaan Melaka patut buat macam Boston yang spent lotsa money cleaning up its waterfront sampai nampak reflection langit biru in their waters.
At least the ikan bakar culture is stilll alive.They have better housing now.I still enjoyed my ikan/sotong/ketam bakar with nasi lemak.Tak peduli lah if the restaurant isn't as exotic as the old days (from which we could see the perahu man deliver his fresh catch to our ikan bakar cook)
I did something fantastic: I drove all the way from KL to Melaka for the first time in my life (Nik had to be in KB with his family over some family matters for the weekend). Anyway, I had to plead with May to temankan I though.Takut mengantuk. :)) She drove back half way cos' I wanted to catch some sleep (no rest since I got back from the UK). Memang ada rasa nak mampos penatnya.
The office did good at completing the framework for Balanced Scorecard and setting our KPIs.Dr. June is a god-send and had guided us a lot in this. She's so funny too.The challenge is HOW are we gonna deliver.
I think it's gonna be busy months ahead us.

busy busy jugak dr faridah.don't stop belogging...heheh..
bukan senang nak belogging ni, drbubbles.kang orang ingat kita tak buat kerja pulak dok mengadap menatang Allah ni. :))
anyway, apsal depa sorok si sepol tu? Bila anwar nak menyorok depa marah, kata pengecut la, macam2.Police protection is given to Sepol to protect him from what? Yang ada kuasa ialah yang menangkap,yang membuat aduan dan yang mendakwa.I tak paham.Kekadang malas nak belogging sebab dah takda isu nak tulih.Takkan kau orang nak baca cerita I pi makan sana sini? Blog jalan2 cari makan.Hahaha.Relative I (yang bagus punya rawa tu)pernah komen "balik2 cerita makan".Betul juga observation dia tu. :)) Itu pun belum keluar resipi ketam masak black pepper I yang I dapat kat tempat ikan bakar di Melaka lagi tu.
What is left, which is good, in this country except our rich cuisine?
melaka akhirnya jadi world heritage site, tapi tang mana heritagenye. would be the real sultan melaka palace like, yang kita tahu cuma dari cerita p.ramlee and PGL hehehehhe yang broadway version tu
perigi hang tuah kot? I suka lalu kat situ.
world heritage: yang diberi byk grants is digging old Dutch and Portuguese forts.
