Hola Melakian , Once again Eddy Rush Fatboy Production step on to Melaka . This Historic State located in the southern region of the Malay Peninsula , next to the Strait of Malacca . Upon this visit , I not going to town of Melaka or jonker street either nor for coconut shake but surprisingly there was a place named Melaka Tropical Fruit Farm . I didn't notice about this place since I visit melaka for several times until I found out this place on Last month .

Here goes all the activities start from 4PM till 7PM , our First activity is Flood soccer . Looks easy but it tooks a lot of energy and strenght , Kicking a ball on top of the water need to be patient .

Not easy to catch but we had a great experience . continue with flying fox , water rafting , quail bird farm and mini zoo .

After the BBQ Dinner , we heading to another night activity and this activity only can enjoy at night . They name it "Bola Api" Fireball , using an old coconut skin peeled and dip into Diesel Fuel . And then just light up with fire , nothing special if the coconut don't move . By using Heel , ball of the foot or sole to kick the coconut and when the coconut moving fast there goes the fireball . Not to worry about getting burn or hurt of your feet , I was afraid at first but after few kick , I was into it and gets more excited . This activity actually is traditional soccer match in village those days , awesome experience I had .
