ants - this is a mini event co-organised by PROTON and BAM, so well, the players will have to leave their posh cars behind and go with the team.

suetyan - the team normally takes the bus down to singapore, and for the past couple of years, have teamed up with PROTON for some meet and greet session with fans, and publicity stuffs.

so hope to see y'all there eh!

Why not meet them at the Proton Edar Plentong 3S Centre? There will be loads of time for photos and autograph there. I'm sure the team will be pretty hassled with their luggages at the customs. :P

Thats good to know that it comes with the driver. Im sure they will be super tired of all the driving, photo and autograph session. Even sit in the car will be tiring as well.

Errr, that one is expensive lah, for tourists/outstation ppl ok lah. and like I said, not that nice also ;). Locals dont usually go to Jonker Walk, too jam, the "A Famosa", St Paul's Hill, Red house even more so, see until jelak(bored).:D

Capitol Satay Celup at Jalan Bandar Kaba also very expensive, I think the most expensive in Melaka, cos of it's name. Oops, this is getting to be like food thread, haha.
If you didnt know already, should be obvious now that I'm local & dont find these food/places interesting, normal lah.

I'll take note on my next road trip to Melaka on all the yummers, won't have time to try all that this weekend. On the bright side, there will be some yummers at the Proton Edar Melaka 3S Ctr, so I will be having lunch with the team... double bonus! Haha!

I went to the Proton Edar, Melaka branch yesterday, where the Malaysian shuttlers stopped by while they were on their way to Singapore. It was a great experience and since I am having difficulties in uploading the pictures here, kindly visit my blog at www.nurulshima.blogspot.com (http://www.nurulshima.blogspot.com/). Thank you!

danielwong / george@chongwei - actually that was a press photo op. of course the team had drivers in each car. all they needed to do was sit back, nap and/or watch movies in the built-in dvd player. :P
