Singapore and others!: Malaysia/ almost been a month

It's been almost a month now since I have arrived at Singapore, and just finished my second week of school, but before that, let me give a brief recap of my trip to Malaysia this past weekend

Due to the Muslim holiday of Hari Raya, the end of Ramadan for them, we were able to have the monday off, so a group of us decided to head off to Melaka, Malaysia for the heck of it and check it out and that too being our first trip as well, keeping it close by...
So we took a coach bus to Melaka there and back and took about 3-4 hrs the way there and almost 6 hours the way back. When we first arrived there, my first thought was how ridiculously hot it was there, and how small and underdeveloped this country still was. Made me just not only appreciate Singapore much more, but how it reminded me of how fortunate we are at times to be living at first world countries, and now even to be able to live/study at Singapore. There are still plenty of countries that needs much assistance and rapid growth and to just come out of poverty as a whole and how sometimes we just tend to take things so much for granted.

The hostel I stayed at Little Nyona, not exactly the best hostel I have ever been to, well this was my first time at a hostel too, but I really appreciated their concept of this hostel along with the owner Reno? I believe...her generous hospitality as well, drawing out a map of places to go, places to eat, and even reserving a table for us at this cafe that her friend was playing at the very last night of the trip here. Though it may have been cramped, hot, full of bugs, and etc. I think their concept of a family and her hospitality made up for it, and would highly recommend this place to anyone around that area.

The food there wasn't quite as various as I expected, well I am eating all kinds of Asian food in Singapore so not much expectation, but they did have this delicious chicken rice balls found only in Melaka, of Malaysia, it is basically a rice shaped into a ball with some chicken fragrance basically what the name suggests and you get that with a whole fried or steam chicken and that just hits the spot... haha....well other then that, not much to do in Melaka to be honest, for it was quite the small city, saw everything basically the first night, St.Paul's church, Chinatown, Little India, night markets, and a couple museums, definitely I think the stay in Melaka was a bit too long as Melaka seems to be more of those small pit stop cities you stop by on the way to a bigger one.

Well I still highly enjoyed the trip, and was quite the learning experience that being the first trip. Definitely want to go to Malaysia again, next time to Kuala Lumpur, Tioman, and hopefully to Thailand, and even Cambodia and Vietnam as well. We'll see what happens, but for now time to catch up and focus on school now which is quite hard being in a different country in general.

Till then, here's some more pictures!
