RF.SG March Outing - Malacca Encore


Agreed guys!!! Let's be punctual and try to catch some morning scenes in Melaka. The last person to reach (after 7 am) will have to buy everybody a round of drinks at the Geographer's cafe. Last year, we planned for 630 am so please I encourage all of you to go there early. The cars will be parked at the roundabout.

Oh boy, I'm sure I'm going to end up buying the drinks, haha. 6.30am at Jurong might be a wee bit hard for me, 7am more workable but I will try my best!
 

Can i ask the drivers, if they will prefer to get SGD for the chip in portion or ringgit? So i roughly know how much i shld go change.

Bro astroboy888...haha..if the spa takes in walk in customer...i don mind joining u for the session...

RM is much easier for the drivers as toll, touch & go etc is all in RM.

a 100sgd converted to RM should be more than sufficient. Nothing much to buy there except makan & a lot of fluids

Folks,

During our last outings, we basically went as a group towards Jonker street. Once we're there, basically the group broke up into small groups and explored the area. We met up at Geographer's cafe in the middle of Jonker street so a drink. Thereafter, the group is free to romp the area and subsequently, all of us gathered at the end of Jonker street for dinner.

This time round we may likely do the same. However, am thinking of going out of Jonker for dinner. Lunch will be at Jonker. I am trying to recall the small family eatery I went the last time for authentic ngyona food. Alternately, we can eat at Little Ngyona at Jonker.

Towards the evening period, we may want to explore another part of Melaka for dinner and possible some shoot before we head off for Singapore. Let's not stay too late this time. Target to leave around 630 pm. PLEASE ALL BE ON TIME!!!

Astroboy told me he managed to get some white cards but it's limited, so kindly try to source at your end first. Please ensure you do not bring any valuables that can't be hand-carry when we're in Melaka. We wouldn't want to leave them in the cars to attract unwanted attention.

That's about all. Will update when I recall more from the last trip. Kindly refer to my earlier thread that linked to the Aug 10 trip to get a better idea.

Here's a link to places to visit outside Jonker. Any suggestions?

Dear All,

I have a few rolls of Fuji Natura 1600 36exp and 24exp for sale
Probably about 10-15rolls?

I bought them 1 year ago roughly via a friend visiting Japan.

Selling for SGD15/roll for 36 and SGD 12/roll for 24

All proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross to help the people in need in Japan

I'll bring the film during the outing, just drop me the dough and I will pass you the film..
 

Yo bros..
RF newbie here. Can I join u guys for this outing?
Is there any slot available ?
Thanks.
 

I just drove up to malacca 2 weekends back and will give this one a miss guys.. have fun :)

I will look forward to the next ;)
 

Many thanks for the pointers to the meeting place on Saturday morning. I had missed ZoomP's crucial post that had the map! I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find it now.

But what are these 'white cards' (quote from above "Astroboy told me he managed to get some white cards but it's limited, so kindly try to source at your end first. ") and where do you get them? When I went to KL by train a few weeks ago, immigration forms for Malaysia were handed out at the station on the way out and for S'pore on the train (I think) on the way back. Does something similar not happen when you go by road?

All the best, John
 

I would like to see a group photo of the RF.SG gang hanging out in Melaka !!!
Have fun :)
 

And some malacca mei meis? Hehe

John, the white card is the immigration card. However, when you drive in, you'll likely need to obtain the card from the Customs. Hence, delay in crossing the Causeway if we need to fill up the cards on the spot. Anyway, think we should have sufficient cards at our end.

If you have difficulty getting one, we should be able to provide one that morning. Worse case is to obtain at the customs.
