Well, yesterday was merdeka day (Malaysia's national day for those who don't know) but instead of celebrating it, we threw yining, my roomate, a surprise bday dinner. Yining's bday was on 30th august (the day before), but since we all had classes that night we postponed it to the next day. Our perfect rendezvous was none other than the one and only Korean Restaurant in melaka, a cozy oriental restaurant called Tok Su Gong.

As it is called a surprise bday dinner, we din tell yining where we were heading, tho i guess she'd had some idea, it's fun to play along until dexter brought us there. As we arrived, the interior was warm with the soft yellow lighting. there's a few tables and chairs arranged near the entrance, with the cashier at the left. then further on there's a tradition korean sitting, where there's a raised up wooden platform and low tables, of which underneath were hollow pits for us to put down our legs.


We were impressed by the setting, and while waiting for our table to be cleared, we stare at the big flatscreen tv showing some korean gameshow. The owner was a petite korean woman with sharp features. When she cleared the table for us, she smiled and usher us there. We were seated at the traditional table, which was near the kitchen outlet. As we waited for our orders, we saw alot of korean food brought out which pricked our curiosity. we even took pictures of them before the waitress served them out. We ate grilled meat, and the red hot kimchi soup :D The food was really nice, tho a little bit expensive. But then, if you go in a group, the price will be ok if you share out.

Then come the cake, bought by Dexter from Yee's bakery. It was jz nice and not too sweet for dessert :D happy 19th bday to yining! *stares at cake*

After devouring the sponge cake, we waited for our watermelon slices, which we observe that every table will be served with after the main course. We have been waiting for a long time already, and once, the waitress brought out watermelon slices, but she din know which table to serve, thus went back in the kitchen again, leaving us crestfallen. We nudged Loomun to make the move, since she's easily pass off as a child and it won't be too embarrassing to let a child ask for our dessert *bricked* So, after much nudging, we got her to ask for it and had our watermelon in no time.

After the bloating dinner, we went to pantai kundur for a walk. it was breezy and nice. we took pictures, fool around and do silly stuff that doesn't match our age. Dexter must be having fun watching and joining in too :D and i found out another bad thing about wearing heels. you can't walk on beach with them :p so we took them off and run around barefooted.



We had much fun in the beach for about an hour i think. then we go around melaka and only when back home at about 11pm. so that's how we spend our merdeka the fun way. and i'm broke again :p until next month then! XD
