One shimmering night in Malacca
A night out in Malacca town make me wonder why does everything seems too glowing at this newest UNESCO World Heritage City;
On a second day of PPSMI training, we decided to go to Malacca town for a site seeing.
After breakfasting near beach side at Pangkalan Balak in Masjid Tanah, we drove through kampung road in Sungai Udang towards Pantai Klebang.
It has been a couple of years I didn’t come to this town and most of the thing are changing rapidly.
The older part of the town are now slowly get overshadow by the huge new shopping complex in Dataran Pahlawan.
The new Taming Sari Tower next to the complex have added some fun for the city but does its really justified for the sake of heritage?

A junction at nearby Alor Gajah town – its almost dawn.



Then we went to this building – can’t recall what the name; but I know its always on the cover of history book; The white spot near the old church building is the full moon

After that we stop at this nearby place to clean the smelly bird shit on my shoulder;

Then we went to Menara Taming Sari – first thought – I said why on earth does people sittin in this glass donut shape thing; then we realise it’s a viewing tower that raise up to the peak of the tower; since it was almost 10.00pm, that was the last ride – we show myKad and paid RM10 per person for a little fun ride

Zubir glued the sit; a little frighten with the shaky movement of the viewing ring;

I don’t know how to capture the night shot when the platform was moving quiet fast;

After that we went to Hang Tuah area – the reflection of the the lights so mesmerise;

This one was under the bridge.

One night out like this is a little relief for a rare holiday maker like me.
