melaka christmas

greetings.

without prior notice, i left this sad place for a night trip to melaka. wondering who i went with? with KC again? Andy? or new bf? no no no. i went with my family and my cousin, Rex's family, and his gf, and other cousins' bfs and gfs.

25 Dec

so many people in melaka that day, we couldn't find a place in to dine in. a little advise for you. do not go to famous places on public holidays such as christmas, new year, chinese new year, bla bla bla. go and you suffer like us.

it was just a day trip. we wanted melaka luk luk and chicken rice balls but everywhere was people lining up. for the day, we travelled by foot because melaka traffic was bad. nothing much when the sun was still rising but the night view was fantastic. for the first time i celebrate my christmas outstation. overall, the trip was boring.

if there was a memorable event during the trip, it would be the leng zai stadhuys ice cream man. he, 31 years old, was tanned. he didn't look like 31. i thought he was 25. i was bored and excused myself for an ice cream when i noticed him standing near the fountain. not much of business he had. wearing a singlet and apek shorts, he kept ringing the bell to attract customers. i initiated the talk by asking how his business was, and he replied with 'ma ma dei' even it was on christmas.

he is a married man with a daughter. though a straight man, he has an aura that attracts me dearly. we talked about his family, the business, challenges, tourist, melaka, my background, education, peers, astro and english. he is a good english speaker. he gave me advise on how to overcome the fear of love - by keeping myself busy. ya ya we were talking about my love (i didn't mention i am gay) luckily he had a chair for me otherwise i would stand for an hour chatting with him. i had a lot of ice creams, i tried all the flavours. we stopped when his china-looking wife and 10 year old daughter visited him for late lunch with him. after exchanged christmas wishes, i left them and looked for my family. honestly i love talking to him. i didn't dare to ask for his contact but if there is chance i will visit him again next time. he won't retire so fast, right?

that's all for my christmas. nothing great to share. now i am back to my sad place. new year plan is still on its way. merry christmas everyone.

merry christmas,
Evan
