SightSeeing Malacca


finally.. it been long time i waited to visit Melake again since last time during my childhood.. i have to admit sightseeing in melake do gimme excitement n since i'm bit on patriotic side and lil bit like history, the visit mean alot for me: reminding who i am, where we come from n heading..mm..Melayu..

Nway, this one day trip was joined with Pmad,my side kick who happen to be Metal Monster from Bristol who have cut his hair short due to family and career obligation...hahah!! tak rock la lu brader!!

Briefly Melake or Malacca was fouded by Prince from Sumatra (Parameswara) in 14th century which later develop into major trading port for ships from India and China due to its stategic geographic location. As normal, being white and think tht they better than other race which absolutely wrong which can be justify by their non respect, uncivilised, stupid, hash, and dirty actions, the Portuguese conquered Malacca in1511. Then followed by Dutch in 1641 until much later where British took over Malacca..
ok ok..i wont say much more bout history or the building even tho i'm so moved by these actually.. (yes! saye mmg Skema and Nerd skit!!) below some of the places we went during sightseeing:
1.Porta de' Santiago aka A'Famosa
-build byPortuguese in 1511 as fortress

2.Christ Church
-build by Portuguese in 1753

3.St. Paul Church
