In case you forgot, the topic I was on before being unceremoniously interrupted by Jac's inopportune wedding and unscrupulously blocked from blogging at work was my Malacca trip in March...
Belatedly, I continue talking about it...

After walking along the whole of Jonker Street and past the attractions around the river, something caught my eye. It turned out to be a revolving tower. I had time to burn and so bought a ticket.
I can't help but wonder if there was more to it, for when I went to the ticket counter, the ticketing assistant asked, "Where you from, Sir?... Singapore? That would be RM 20. Makes me wonder what it would have cost me if I said I was Malaysian...
This is how it looks from the inside at the waiting area and then the tower...
And this is how the outside looks (a) when one is on marijuana; or (b) more likely when one is in a revolving tower and cannot figure out the camera settings...
Well, no human is perfect. And likewise, I am not a perfect idiot. Humans experiment, as I did with my contraption... Ah... Much better...
On the way back, I noticed a large crowd gathering and realised it was to watch this kungfu expert smash coconuts. But first, he demonstrated his skill with the whip...
Before proceeding to murder this coconut with only one finger...
Very painful, he said. But all he had to do was put on the miracle lotion and... he felt okay!! Now, if we came any other day, it would cost us RM 50, but for tonight only, he was selling it to us at RM 20. Could we believe our luck? Well, it was only RM 20 and I was not in a mood for excessive philosophical discourse and the ponderance of the veracity of his statements so I bought a bottle. Haven't used it, though...
It was back to the hotel after that, when I finally got to see my room. It was large and comfortable and I had no complaints....
As I was tired, I turned in for the night, but not before venturing out to the pier, which was nearby the hotel...
