Happily Ever After, Vero!


There is a lot of people getting married this year. Almost every other month i would have a few wedding dinners to attend to. Seriously made me ponder for a while, is this the most popular/common age that we are supposed to get married?


Welcome to Tangkak!

Anyway, me and my ex-coursemates made our way to Tangkak, Johor for a wedding luncheon of my another ex-(coursemate + hsemate) . I havent seen her for more than a year (the last time was when i went down to Singapore for training), so i was really looking forward to it. Moreover, the luncheon was also some sort of a gathering to meet some of the people that i havent met since we've graduated from uni.

The wedding went perfectly well and since it was quite early, we took a short trip to the Malacca town. Where else could we been but Jonker Street, once the richman's street is now a living proof of Malacca's rich baba-nyonya heritage. The street is popular with antique hunters and collectors worldwide. Some of the shops have a collection of antiques which date back as far as 300 years. Strolling along the street, you will notice that the buildings are immaculately constructed with elaborate carvings on the pillars and walls. These intricate adornments reflect the rich heritage of the Peranakan or Straits Chinese community.

Anyone who comes here will never forget about their ever famous Cendol. We had a few to satisfy our cravings.



From l-r, top-bottom: Durian Cendol, Baba Cendol, Soursop Ice-Blended and ABC (ice blended mixed with colorful sweetener)

To end this post, i'll just have to say Congratulations to Vero and her hubby, Ah Hou! *muaks*
