A Weekend in Melaka

The past week had me going to a series of ups and downs (more of the latter). First, my other half complained about some chest pain after jogging around City Park. So she did some check up at the nearest Klinik Kesihatan near City Park twice, one for the ECG and another for blood test. The results problematic ECG and high cholesterol levels; so there is a fear of diseased heart.

She was advised to go for an echocardiogram. Appointment with the public hospital may take ages. Coincidentally, last weekend she had to go for a conference in Melaka organized by Pantai Hospital. So we decided to go a day earlier and have her echocardiogram done at Pantai Hospital.

After spending almost a day there, we finally checked in at Holiday Inn in Melaka, where the conference will be held (the next day). For that day stay, I had to book the room out of my pockets; for some reason, it was charged in US dollars and it costed more than it should. Pantai Hospital only sponsor one night stay there (Saturday) but the conference went on until late Sunday afternoon. We negotiated with the organizer and the hotel to stay in the same room. We decided to stay an extra Sunday night there, which is to be charged on our expenses but fortunately at a discounted rate. 

That Friday night, we went out to walk around. There was a free hotel shuttle to Taming Sari tower and Dataran Pahlawan. We stopped at the tower to get dinner. There seems to be plenty of 'asam pedas' eateries. We randomly chose one.

We took some pics from our room in the hotel hoping to see some spectacular sunset or sunrise but the clouds won't let us.

The last pic of my other half is at Dataran Pahlawan (on Sunday night) for our dinner.

One of our main concern when we are away are our cats. We can't afford to put all our cats at the cat lodging; we only do that for the problematic cats. Good enough, my eldest son installed a cctv to watch how the cats are doing.
