Melaka old city centre at night and the nostalgia around it...

Finally, continuing from the article A peculiar graveyard near Tampin but fast-forward some 24 hours later...

By that time, I'm already in Melaka and ready to break fast at the Kampung Hulu mosque right smack at the old city centre...

This is a picture after the meal was done. By the way this happened yesterday, the 29th day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan and today, the last day of the fasting month, I broke my fast with a tin of water in a Cyber-Cafe in Muar and haven't had anything since then (that was almost 4 hours ago!)... All because I intend to let-out a series of articles in my blogspots so that I could celebrate the festive first day of Aidilfitri tomorrow without carrying any baggages!

Back to the issue at hand. A look at the mosque's pool as I was about to take my abolution for the Maghrib prayers... For the record, I slept last night at this mosque...

After the Maghrib prayers I decided to take a walk. Here is how the Kampung Hulu mosque looks like from a short distance. Beautiful isn't it?

I walked towards the main road of Jalan Hang Tuah. Then I noticed this building which used to be Melaka's main 'skyscraper' nearly 30 years ago... I remember because then, I was staying in Muar and my family often go up to Melaka to shop for electric goods...

Back then, there was no North-South highway. Everyone going the distance must ply this route. Now, Melaka has expanded to so much that this old centre of Melaka is practically abandoned!

Then again, they have also improved the river, the Melaka river that is, much! Yes... Good riddance to all the rubbish and eyesore I remembered from years ago...

While many commercial centres have sprung up elsewhere in Melaka and the main bus centre has also been moved some 2km out, Jalan Hang Tuah still has its own charm...

With the Melaka river perked up with much lights and attractions, I guess Melaka old city centre at night nowadays is definitely much much better than before. There goes the last article for this blogspot for the current session of story-telling. Happy Aidilfitri everyone! Cheers... :]
