It's SURREAL, dramatic, mysterious and awesome! WHAT is? The Melaka River by night, that's what! I've just returned from a walk along the pavement of our grand, old Melaka river accompanied by my sis and brother, The scene was enchanting with all the lights and reflections in the river. Some parts were like scenes from Impressionist paintings, really. . . O.K, I'll let you be the judge, look at the photos I took (excuse me if some look a bit shaky, amateur you know this granny - butI HAVE to include them here!)
P.S. The swirling lights under the bridge are those of a boat with tourists cruising down river. 
Can you pick out the famous St Francis Church in the distance?
That's the Kampong Jawa bridge.
This looks like a painting to me. And I like the one below too.
This ghostly-looking building across the river facing the Clock Tower, was once a go-down (warehouse) now under renovation, will be a hotel soon.
I'm glad I went for the 'night-walk' and saw another face of my Melaka River. Hope more people especially the Melakans would take the opportunity to see her (the river lah) at night. Thank you to the Melaka government for making this possible. Terima kasih.

Salam Cikgu,
Cool.Cikgu. cool.
Let's lobby UNESCO for restoration grant same as Athen or Cairo gets.
Little MELAKA will be on par with Little Venice Italy or Bologena.
I wish that Public Bank building at the junction Padang Nyiru could be relocated.It is an eye sore caused traffic chaos and will be more hectic in time to come.
The old Balai Bomba front of Balai Polis is estatic building.Hope the Urban Planner could reallocate the Pertahanan Awam.
Tak sycronised with the City motto.Should be an Art Gallery of a kind and hive of activities for Art lovers.Be it calligraphy or contempolary in nature or Theater Bnagsawan or mini auditorium for Contempolary Art lovers.Tourist love to see some light threater like 'Uda dan Dara' by the late Tongkat Warrant.
Being a traveller myself, I give a thumb up to the State Govt.
Good job.Should do with me.Maintain.
Except... 'ANAK MELAKA' ini seruan.
'....Focus and Determine and Hard Work ... and we could be among the best city in the world.Insyallah.
Will be back before pencen.Cikgu.
Salam Chap Goh May.
