Today was my FIRST experience to malacca by DRIVING!!! I left house at around 845am and went to pick Cheryl...Then went West Mall's Burger King to buy our breakfast...Made our way to TUAS 2nd Link.

Drove at a speed of 130-140km/hr once i passed the Malaysia's custom...The speed limit was 110km/hr...Somewhere near mid-way,we hit a road-block...i was told that i was caught speeding at 131km/hr & he showed me his clip-board...showing my number plate & speed....I was curious of how the police got my speed...I asked the cop how to settle...He said, "i can issue you a summon if you want, but you can settle it with 50RM on the spot. " i told him that i'll settle it on the spot & he just slipped his clip-board thru my window & allow me to place the money underneath his papers. After i made the payment,he still said THANK YOU....What a funny place yea?? Corrupted!!!

Anyway,i finally made my way to Malacca's toll station. Heard from friends that travelling on the North/South Highway is very expensive,you won't know till you try it yourself. I have to pay 24.30RM for the trip ( excluding charges from custom onwards? ) I'll have to pay 8.40RM at the custom 1st, 3.10RM for travelling towards KL direction & finally pay that 23.40RM at Malacca's toll station. All these fee will be charged AGAIN on my way back to singapore later...so EXPENSIVE!!!!!

Took 1 hour & 45 mins to reach Malacca's Toll Station from 2nd link....Should be ok bah~~~~

Went to the biggest shopping centre in the Malacca Town...There's 2 shopping mall together..Very Big & LOTS of things to buy...Cheryl bought ALOT of clothes anda pair of shoes. I just see see look look....abit tired after the long drive...

Walk around & eat in the town...& left Malacca at 745pm..Reached the Malacca's Toll Station at 8pm...Made the same amount of payments...It was very dark along the way back..no street lamps..you can only see headlights from oncoming vehicles...Alot of cars were speeding ( at a HIGH speed )..i was driving at 130-150km/hr...i believe those who overtook me were travelling at at least 160-190km/hr...
Road ahead of me was quite empty for i'm on the outer lane. Cars will let high speed vehicles to pass when they see them coming...i supposed those drivers thought that i'm driving very fast....But nevermind...since i was given that chance,i did a CRAZY thing...I floored my accelerator...i hit 190km/hr!!!!! It was totally awesome!!! But i can feel the steering wheel being very light & i have to grab the wheels very tightly...Cheryl took a video clip of my speedometer increasing from 160km/hr to 190+km/hr...

Real crazy stuff!!!!
