Menara Taming Sari, Malacca

July 21st, 2008, Jason

Denzuko and friends were in town. As usual, being the *coughs* unofficial *coughs* tour guide for most bloggers out there, I brought them around. It was pretty much the same but this time, I decided to board the Menara Taming Sari.

Well, thanks to our beloved Malacca chief minister who wanted to make Malacca into another Kuala Lumpur by “replicating” Mid Valley Megamall with Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall, Eye on Malaysia with Eye on Malacca, we now have our own version of KL Tower, the Menara Taming Sari. Soon, we might even have our own version of KLCC.

It’s first proposed location was a stone throw away from the Malacca Clock Tower, which later resulted into the findings of the remaining or part of the A Famosa Fort / Porta De Santiago. It was then moved to the current location, which is next to Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall.

Standing tall at 110m, you are going to have a bird eye’s view of Bandar Hilir, Malacca Old Town and Plaza Mahkota.

There are 66 seats inside the “container” (What’s the proper word for it?) and is fully air conditioned. Lets hope they will service the air conditioners from time to time, else its going to be really stuffy inside. It is powered by some big ass machines and motors that don’t look cool or high tech at all.

One minute to go up, another five minutes to spin at the top and another one minute to descend. How much are you going to pay for that boring seven minutes ride? RM10 if you have your MyKad with you. If you don’t, it’s freaking RM20! What a ripoff!

The view? Totally bleargh.

Amber Chia In Malacca Fashion Runway

July 18th, 2008, Jason

Almost a year later, Amber Chia walked the stage during the fashion runway at Mahkota Parade.

She lost a significant amount of weight and honestly, not as pretty as it used to be.

Hmm, pictures weren’t that great.

Ah Kwong Got Married!

July 9th, 2008, Jason

Congratulations to Ah Kwong and Myin. Yes, I had to take bus to KL just to attend his wedding, which was held on a rather odd day, Friday. Haha! There were too many dSLRs and it sort of washed away my mood for attempting my first wedding photography.

Singapore Ferrari (Owners) Gathering In Malacca

July 7th, 2008, Jason

17 out of the probably 300 Ferrari-es in Singapore took a drive up to Malacca for a road trip with the last stop at Equatorial Hotel Melaka. Sleepy Hao, Akiraceo Jian and I were there to take some pictures.
