Back Finally....
Hi all, finally back from my 1 week overseas trip... 3 days in Macau and 4 days in Msia. So basically, this post, Im not gonna go into detail..., cause I quite sick of typing long posts and trying very hard to remember what happened... Especially since I'm quite forgetful so... I'll write what I can remember...
Day 1
Woke up early in the morning and took a cab to the Budget Terminal, as we were taking the Tiger Airways to Macau. Checked-in our luggage 2 hours before departure, then took a shuttle bus to T3 as there was simple NOTHING to do there =.= After much time, went back and finally went in and boarded the plane. Haha, the budget airline title really suits what's inside. They actually had to do a manual safety vid =.= Yea, so we took off and I took some snap shots of the clouds, bird-eye view.
Entertained myself by playing the DS and watching movies on Itouch, then finally reached, at night 8pm. The weather was rather "shiok", very cold. About 15 degrees. Went through the customs, then took a shuttle bus to our hotel, The Venetian. The interior was rather nice, kind of like a palace kind.
Then we checked in to our room, which was a suite, actually the whole hotel has mostly suites... Then went into our room and get amazed by the interior. Split level, with literally 3 staircase steps to the next level. =.= And a dream come true for me to finally have cable TV, wooohooo! Discovery Channel rocks. Thereafter went out to have dinner, somewhere, forgotten, then cam back and my dad and bro went down to play casino while I stayed up and watched TV. Both of them came back soon, won 100 dollars, in HK bucks lol, so SGD $20. Then went to slp =P
Day 2
Woke up in the morning as usual and went to the food court downstairs for breakfast. Then took a shuttle bus to some tourist attraction place called "The Wall" =.= Story is that a church fell down after a war, and this particular wall survived and became a tourist attraction.
Bought a polaroid camera at a nearby stall too, so I can finally take instant photos =]. Thereafter just explored the whole area here and there, the whole place isnt just a wall, its practically a shopping street. Walk here and there and unexpectedly, of all places met my bro's teacher. After exploring the whole area, we took a cab to the Macau Sky Tower, where me and my bro had a go at the Sky Walk Activity, which is walking at the exterior planes of the tower, of course with safety gears...
Rather scary I must say, since I'm scared of heights... Thereafter just went for dinner somewhere and went back to the hotel, short and sweet. Mum and dad went down at night to the casino and this time came back winning 4000 dollars, HK bucks, about 760 SGD. Yay. =D
Day 3
This time, we went to Hong Kong ZhuHai, direct translation, Pig Sea. Went there to buy imitation stuff O.o The whole place was very big i must say, and China's english still hasnt improved... They termed us foreigners as Aliens.... Haiz... Yea, so we practically spent the whole bloody day there, random shopping, walking in circles etc. Bought a green laser pointer which can shine up to 50m. Fun. Then went back and headed to Hard Rock Hotel to eat at Hard Rock Cafe, but surprisingly there wasnt a Hard Rock Cafe in the Hard Rock Hotel, so we ate at a chinese restaurant there... There after, walked back to the hotel which was just opposite, and had fun shining people from far, making them clueless as to where the green dot came from, wahahaha. Thereafter, went back to slp.
Day 4
Woke up early to eat breakfast down stairs again, then went to the airport to fly back to SG. Arrived at SG rather unexpectedly early, and went home to put some stuff down, before we drove off to Msia, I know what ur thinking, and yes we are crazy. Thanks to the jams here and there, finally reached Msia at around 8pm, and check into the hotel called "Boulevard" at Mid Valley Mall, yes its inside the mall. Thereafter had dinner at "The Esquire" inside Mid Valley, then met up with my Mum's Friend and her children. Yes the same ones I mentioned when we went to Msia before, Kevin, Gladys and Sheryl. Had a 30 min chat while we children just stood around, walking around without even knowing while we engaged in our own chats. Then at 11pm or so, went to the hotel to slp.
Day 5
I shall not say this anymore but we woke up early again... Had breakfast at the hotel cafe then shopped on our own for that day as my mum's friend went to Sunway Lagoon to play at e water theme park. So my family literally spent the whole day inside the mall, rather boring i must say. Spent my time folding 25 paper cranes with the mall map they provided us with =x. We only met up again for dinner at "The Esquire" again. And thats when I took out all of the cranes i folded and decorated the table =.=. Thereafter, we made a paper bird park with a Crane god in the middle and left the area, haha XD. Camped at Starbucks, while the adults had their own chats and we children had our own chats. Thats when I updated my fb =P. Thereafter, had fun laser pointing at the buildings across us, making people turn around look at the green dot and laughing at them lol. Haha, they must be thinking, who's the mystery laser pointing man. The person who lasered everyone ain't me btw, its Kevin =P. Made him a paper mask made up of mall maps to "cover" his identity, which so DID NOT. =P haha. Thereafter, around 12am, we finally went back. Bad mistake for me to drink the Toffee Nut Latte at night, cause I couldnt slp and ended up watching Discovery Channel, till I slept that is...
Day 6
This time we both families went out with each other, to KLCC, for shopping as usual... Random shopping here and there and also random laser pointing at people here and there haha. Thereafter went to have lunch at a food court, then shopped around again if Im not wrong. Quite sian. Thereafter, we went to Times Square, where once again, we shopped... Haiz. Thats when we two families separated again to shop at our own time. Ate dinner at a chinese restaurant, then met up with them again. Thereafter went back to the hotel and camped at the cafe for another chat, up till 12 am again, no coffee this time. And finally went back to slp
Day 7
Mum's friend family went off to Genting while we came back, but stopped by at Sunway Pyramid for yet another shopping journey. Then finally went all the way back home till now =]. And sadly, no photos were taken while in Msia... T_T
Yay, managed to compress the whole thing, leaving out too many details i must say... But nvm. CO camp is coming, hope that the nite walk ain't so jia lat...
