Melaka. Besides the History 2

The next day, we were actually like Indiana Jones looking for treasures in Melaka. As it is written...

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Ringo's a funny man. He is married. When we were asking him about her, he said 'I don't know her.' We were like... Ok..... This is him from the back. He's a bit shy. That's T -Bone. He was telling Ringo that he has the exact same car. Ringo was excited.

As we looked through his first space area of treasures we were astonished. There were so many stuff from that are centuries old that he kept. My jaw dropped.


From the first room area, right until the back of his house. He had jukeboxes, vinyl players, radios, microphones, telephones, bicycles, bags, sinks, chillers, ... and the list goes on.

Some metal poster like thingys. So Old School! Damn!

I got this lamp. Its REALLY from the 60s. (Below)

Anyways... I was looking at every little corner of the house. From his sink, his lounge chairs, his kitchen cabinets, his water pump, his bed. It was really going back into time. We figured he knows what he is doing and knows how much he can get out of all the things he has in his home.

Its so cool that he put his stove on a sewing table.

He even fixed and sold this Jukebox from the 70s. The guy is buying it for RM6k! Still working of course. But damn its freakin' nice.


T-Bone, one of the 'treasure hunter', wanted to buy this other Jukebox. But Ringo was so persistent on how he had no time and energy to fix it. He has a back ache. And he cant bend down that long. =) It was from the 50s. Its the cool ones you see in the diner in the olden shows like 'Grease'. Gosh.


I pre-booked a 2 set lounge chair. It was from the 60s says Ringo. I think it was actually his and he is just making money out of it. But i love it. Going to pick it up this mid October. It will be great looking in my new living room. =)

T-Bone bought this. It still works! Cute huh?

Was thinking of buying this set. But I thought it was going too overboard of making
my living room looking OLD SCHOOL.

This is the view from the top of Ringo's house.


At night....

...the party scene in Melaka was very chilled out. The bars were very lounge-y and homely. The people were friendly and surprisingly chatting with them, they seem to be very happy in Melaka.

They were studying and ended up working there. Everything worked out for them here. Noitchy fingers of wanting to be a KL-ite. Hmmm... Respectah!

Sometimes i too will feel like just getting out of the city and start a farm! I know it sounds lame but these couple of years it has been different kind of waves hitting me.

Will be coming back to Melaka, it was amazing to find the collectibles here and most of them are in mint condition! Will definitely find more treasures!
