This trip was primarily for business purposes, so I won't delve into the details of our company-related activities. Once we arrived in Malacca, however, our "non-office" agenda kicked in, spanning from our hotel check-in until dinner time. I had dinner and breakfast with my colleagues, and in this video, I'll outline our itinerary for the first day.
We began by checking into our hotel room at Hatten Hotel Melaka, followed by a brief exploration of the hotel. Later, we enjoyed a dinner buffet within the hotel premises before venturing out to Jonker Street and A Famosa for a short visit. The evening concluded with my colleagues and I having a rooftop drinking session back at the hotel.
On the subsequent day, my morning began at 6:30 am, as I eagerly embarked on a walk to A Famosa and Jonker Street once more. I was determined to witness the daytime splendor of these renowned landmarks. During my leisurely stroll, I passed by Muzium Samudera, where an impressive replica of a giant ship was prominently displayed, adding to the charm of the surroundings. After immersing myself in the sights, I made my way back to the hotel to enjoy a hearty breakfast.
Following breakfast, our group headed to the shopping mall located opposite our hotel, seizing the opportunity for some last-minute shopping. It was a chance to pick up souvenirs or any items of interest before concluding our time in Malacca. Once our shopping escapade was complete, we couldn't resist returning to Jonker Street, marking my third visit in just two days. This time, we indulged in the famous Malacca chicken rice balls, savoring their unique flavors. We also took the opportunity to do some final shopping, ensuring we made the most of our time in this vibrant location.
This office trip was incredibly meaningful to me, despite its short duration, because it marked my first-ever experience of such kind. I had often felt unfortunate when it came to office trips in the past, as either my previous company failed to organize any or faced financial limitations that hindered such endeavors. Consequently, I had resigned myself to the idea that participating in an office trip abroad was beyond my reach.
However, all of that changed when this wonderful opportunity materialized. It reignited my hope and brought immense joy to my heart. Now, I can genuinely say that I am truly happy to have been a part of this office trip. Its significance goes far beyond its brevity, and it has left an indelible mark on me.
