Late sunday (21st October 2012) the faculty organized a field trip to Melaka for the International student. We opened for 23 participants. At first, the intention is that we want to bring the graduate student to a some sort of reunion after they have been a part when they finish their studies. But of course, as I have suspected before I write the trip proposal, there are only few who reply the email to participate in the trip. Haishhh...
Then the trip was opened to all the current student. Here comes the trouble. Never I imagined that taking care of 18 international university students is equal with taking care of 36 Montessori kids. Because of time constraint we have to hurry here and there and actually we have no time to waste on waiting one person by one person. Half of the day is spent on waiting and travelling on the bus.
Overall this trip is a failure. This my first field trip as an organizer, but it did not turned well. Hmm... It's okay, there will be another time and I will get used to organize and coordinate the trip more and more. I'll just have to think positive.
In Melaka, we went for a Duck Boat tour. I reserved the whole boat for us. The cost is RM1500. If you want to reserve the whole boat, you must contact them 2-3 weeks prior the date. Their contact number is 06-2925595 and their Ticket counter is just beside Menara Taming Sari in Jalan Merdeka, Bandar Hilir. The route by duck boat is not very interesting. It is better if we take the river cruise and cruised along the Melaka Straits.
After the duck boat tour, we went for Taming Sari Tower. The actual cost for riding it is RM20. But because we are a students, including myself >_<, we get discount and it only cost us RM8.00 per pax. Lucky us. But....You have to call them and fax the letter from your organization to get the price. Hehehe. Their contact number is 06-2881100. Taming Sari Tower is a very interesting monument and place you must go and ride it. You'll see the entire Melaka because of it. Go and google for Menara Taming Sari if you want to know more about it.
For Acrophobia person, you must try this to overcome you fear. Hehehe.

After that we went for lunch. We go separate way for lunch because a lot of the students want to eat fast food. While I want to bring them to eat local famous dish Asam Pedas. They did not want to try at all. Most of the Chinese just want to eat Chinese food. Maybe because Malaysian cuisine do not suite them at all. T_T All and all, I am satisfied and relieved that the restaurant that my brother and I went for lunch is delicious. No wonder it's always full and famous for it's Asam Pedas. Sadly they did not accept reservation on Saturday and Sunday. Here are the name card I got from the restaurant (Asam Pedas Selera Kampung).

After lunch there are disasters I don't want to talk about. Huhuhu. Then around 7.00 p.m, we went for dinner at Api-Api Steamboat and Grill Restaurant. We got discount and we feels like artists because lots of people takes our picture while we're eating. Haishhh...Here are the discount voucher and map how to get around there. The food are good and halal. Now a day, it is hard to get Halal Steamboat and Grill Restaurant. The restaurant is just in front (cross the road) of AEON Bandaraya. It's on the new building.
Today, I've been typing a lot. Hehehe. I will stop here. I may bored you with all the writing if I type some more.
P.S: I really need helps in handling trip. I cannot organize and went alone. Luckily I brought my brother with me. Thanks brother, for helping me. Love you a lot.
