.::z. 8/8.

2nd day here in Bandar Bersejarah Malacca. I got my fix, ate assam fish-head and chicken rice ball for lunch. Also bought what my mom wanted - belacan, gula melaka and coffee powder. Oh! and 2 BUM bermudas at 50% off. I'm a happy duck!

Speaking of duck, caught the midnight screening of the movie "Click" last nite at Mahkota Parade. For an Adam Sandler movie, this one had a message - its about family and not missing out on the good (and bad) stuff of being in one, raising one, and growing old together as one. The dog in the movie, Sundance, was practically humping a toy duck throughout the show. Good time-filler for a lazy weekend, otherwise, there are other movies that will be more worthier of your money.

Walking along the streets of Malacca earlier on reminded me of another movie, The Lakehouse. This state has got really wonderful architecture, with influences from the Dutch, Portuguese and the Peranakans, and not forgetting the locals. Some of the places has been restored wonderfully, making use of the large floor area of the shophouses and creating nifty living and office spaces that would wow visitors from anywhere.

In the Lakehouse, Alex takes Kate through a walk in Chicago by a letter and leaving her a marked map, showing her all the admirable and interesting buildings. "Come take a walk with me" he says, and she follows the tour, going from one building to the next, and at the end of the walk, finds a graffiti on the wall of an alley that says, "Kate, I'm here with you, thank you for letting us spend our Saturday together."

Ok I am not imagining I am Keanu or anything, hardly, but when I was walking it made me easier for me to think that another person was beside me and we were exploring and I was showing and explaining the little I know about the architecture and stuff. And we were having fun.

At this point of time, allow me to waste some bytes and write down the usual sad stuff. - It still hurts. I shared with you everything. I brought you to all the places I've been my entire life, told you everything I knew, gave you what you wanted and made sure you are smiling and warm at the end of each day. Its a shitty feeling to have given my all, and ending up with this.

Ok DONE. Back to the Lakehouse. In one scene, Alex asks Kate, in a voice over "How's your sunset?" and Kate replies, "It's perfect". He then says "I only wish you were here to share it with me." Its 730pm here in Malacca and its sunset. Do I need 2 years like our Lakehouse dwellers to finally enjoy sunsets with the one I love and the one who truly loves me back? If that is the case, then I'll wait.

Geez, when I have all the time in world in Singapore, I dont write. Now I'm on vacation and I park myself in an internet cafe and spend more than an hour surfing and writing my blog. Well time to get out of here. Dinner alone tonight, but I already stocked up with tarts (no, not THAT kind of tarts), yoghurt, buns (ok your brain is filthy), chips and other junk food back at the hotel room. Maybe I should get a proper dinner. Maybe not.

Be back in Singapore tomorrow! Until then, come take a walk with me..
