For the 1st time I reached Bandar Hilir, Melaka. It was on January 14, 2012. One word that came into my mind - Happening! -
Bandar Hilir dipenuhi dengan bangunan-bangunan berwarna merah. Bersih. And lots of beautiful sceneries.
The riverside's view is very interesting. There's a touch of Venice scenery i can say. Eventhough i've never go there ;p . Ya lah, who don't know Venice. Bandar atas air kann.
...tak dapat nak meneruskan ulasan-ulasan tentang gambar... keadaan skarang sangat mengganggu konsentrasi. maka mood nak menulis pun lari berkeliaran .. next time i will continue..

Okeh let's continue.
There're lots of english/italian style restaurants with nice decoration along the riverside. Memang sangat cantik untuk di ambil-ambil gambarnya dan untuk disimpan-simpan dibuat kenangan mahupun ditunjuk-tunjuk kepada kawan-kawan dengan lagak "Hey, ya know I went to Little Venice last week! It was soo amazing..blablablerghh.." ;p
Don't worry if you lost from your travel group or you lost your friends from your travel group. Tourist Police or Unit Polis Pelancong is kindly ready to assist :)
Bandar Hilir is soo RED! Here and there are red buildings. Muzium Belia Malaysia (Malaysia Youth Museum), Tourist Police Unit, Stadhyus, and buildings (contains shop lots) along the streets straight to a big ship (Muzium Samudera). Most of them are red.
(argh...need to stop again....balik rumah sambung balik)
00:54am continue..
Ok, jangan tanya ada apa dalam bangunan Muzium Belia Malaysia ni sebab kiter tak masuk pun. Lalala~
We found this Kawasaki Ninja just besides to a famous ABC & Cendol Stall at the riverside near to The Stadhuys (gosh, it's very hard to spell this red building, urgh!). Nice kan. I wonder who's the owner, hewhew ;p I always love to see guys riding this kind of motorbike while him covered with full face helmet, gloves and jacket. It looks cool! ^.~
An easy way to explore bandar Melaka is by riding a Beca (trishaw) . It will cost you RM20 in about 30 minutes rides. "Bro Beca" akan bawa kamu pusing-pusing sekitar Bandar Hilir dan akan berhenti di beberapa pit stop. Usually they will bring you to Stadhuys-Muzium Samudera-Menara Taming Sari-A Farmosa- and will be back to Stadhuys.
We didn't ride the beca. We chose to walk from car park in front of the Church of St. Francis Xavier (picture will be on my next entry) until Muzium Samudera. Bopoloh kotiak mak noks, hewhew. Lencun. Furthermore, we prefer to walk because it will be nice to explore this beautiful place on our own. Lebih bebas untuk berlama-lama dan bergambar-gambar dengan banyak-banyak. Besides to save cost too. The beca's charge is too expensive lah.
There were so many tourists around The Stadhuys. Selain beca, ada juga perkhidmatan mengambil gambar dengan busana tradisi orang Melaka. You cannot simply taking their photos. Coz it was all about money money money ♪♪ and please look at the price tag ♪♪ Hehehe. Lupalah berapa dia charge nak ambik gambar and pakai baju tu.
Memikirkan cuaca yang agak panas dan perjalanan yang mampu membuatkan peluh bercucuran membasahi baju better saya beli kipas lah satu. Selain untuk mengipas diri dikala kepanasan, ia juga boleh dijadikan sebagai aksesori untuk mencantikkan gambar :))
If you walk up above the stalls through the stairs at right and left of this building, you will see a very beautiful and colourful scenery of Bandar Hilir, Melaka.
Sudah penat bermandi peluh apa kata basahkan tekak dengan ABC dan cendol yang paling famous kat Bandar Hilir ni. All i can say, ia bukan sekadar famous rasanya pon memang tak menghampakan. Sedap!
Kami pergi berempat sahaja dan balik ke Kuala Lumpur pada hari yang sama juga. Saya bekerja shift malam maka perlu pulang paling lewat sebelum tengah malam.
Kincir air ni under mentainance waktu kami pergi ni. Jadi ianya tak berfungsilah. Untuk bergambar-gambar di sini memang cantik.
Casa Del Rio antara hotel 5 bintang yang berada di sepanjang sungai Melaka ni. Price? Memang mahal, nak tahu sila ringan-ringankan tangan tanya Encik Google.
Wonder what the picture above is talking about?
I've also no idea what actually those birds were doing. One of a beautiful and amazing view along the riverside. It's the first time i've seen this scenery. Maybe burung-burung ni tengah makan atau tengah buat sarang atau... i've no idea. Wallahualam. Sangat luarbiasa.
A Famosa! Sejak di bangku sekolah lagi kenal A Famosa. Tahu di mana dan sejarah tentangnya. Tapi jejakkan kaki lansung tak pernah. This was my first time i've been here actually ;p
Photo di atas was taken in the big ship. Its name is Muzium Samudera(picture below). The reason i took this picture was just to show you betapa canggihnya teknologi orang Belanda zaman dulu. Dalam kapal siap ada aircond! Ehe, just kidding. Tentulah aircond ni baru di pasang pada abad ke-21 ni. Untuk keselesaan pengunjung muzium. Takdelah bermandi peluh dalam ni.
This was my second time going into a big ship. Sebelum ni pernah naik cruise Logos Hope at Sabah Port. Tak pernah cerita eh.? Ada masa terluang nanti i'll story to you k.
[Picture above] Close up of one of the pictures in the museum.
Kami naik river cruise dalam pukul 8.25 malam. View memang cantik sangat. Perjalanan mengambil masa selama lebih kurang 45 minit untuk membuat satu pusingan u. No picture at night because i know my camera will not give the good shots in night mode. So why wasting time right. Just enjoy the view! Hehe. (Tunggu la kau NEX C3)
One of the ship replicas in the museum. With a touch of HDR-ish so that the picture to not look so dull.
There're still some pictures left in my library. Will update later when i got free time.
*annoyed with my bad english?? hahaha. aku sebenarnya sedang melatih diri aku berbahasa Inggeris kembali. Entah kenapa aku rasakan penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris aku semakin tumpul sekarang ni. Adakah disebabkan selalu tengok cerita Korea? Seroiusly aku dah semakin jarang tengok cerita Oramputih n Oramelayu sekarang... :(
Lots of Love.
