macao trip dec 28th 2009~ jan 1st 2010

My dad made us go to Macao for a family vacation with his friend & his wife last december. If some

of you might remember, I did kaobeh alot before I went there, especially garfield & yumi, I whined

and whined to them for a whole week! Yes I know given the chance to go out of the country for a

vacation is considered quite lucky and I'm not an ungrateful biatch, it's just that my bro & I are still

young, we want to go to a more westernized country for a change! Oogle at naked angmoh women

suntanning and say "oohhh, nice boobs" to them!

But my dad ain't rich lah, so the only countries we can go to are on the asian side. My friends

recommended me & my bro to take a 1 hr ferry to Hong Kong. I wanted to do that at first, but once

we've reached Zhu Hai,it wasn't as bad as what I expected it to look like. In fact, it was quite fun!



Here are the Macao pics. I was going to upload them one by one, but I thought it would be very time

consuming even using photobucket because sometimes while uploading pictures halfway, it just

STOPS there and you'll have to upload the rest all over again, and this cycle repeats itself more

than 3 times if you have loads of pictures to upload. So I thought it was GENIUS to use window's

application "paint", to divide all the pictures, and put a few pictures in a canvas, then upload it. It

would only be like.. 8 photo files altogether?

I was so stupid to do that =.=" Not only it is more time consuming,(that's why I haven't been

updating for EONS. i wasted my precious youth doing that :( ) because you'll have to care about

how the photos are arranged in a canvas, i previewed it in blogspot and found out that it doesn't

show up as clear or huge as in "paint" form. GAHHH!!

Enough of that! *shrugs*

We arrived at Macao first, and went over a bridge to Zhu Hai!It's like coming to Johor Bahru From

Singapore!

Zhuhai (珠海; Zhūhǎi) [1] is the name of a city, and Special Economic Zone (SEZ), in Guangdong
Province, China. The name means Pearl Sea; Zhuhai is where the Pearl River (珠江; Zhūjiāng) flows into the South Sea (南海 Nánhǎi).

Zhuhai is known for its beautiful long coastline, waving palm trees, open spaces, low population density, and its many islands; Zhuhai's nicknames are the city for lovers and the city of a hundred islands. Zhuhai serves as the gateway to Macau, as a tourist destination for Chinese, and as a playground for hedonistic Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan visitors who come for Zhuhai's very colorful nightlife and available female companionship at mainland prices.



Zhu Hai is such a lovely place for me! We stayed in a 3 star-ed hotel which I first thought would

suck, turned out to be great! Think of the 3 star-ed hotel in Johor Bahru. (That's where I got my mind

a blueprint of Zhu Hai's hotel.) The hotel we stayed in hor, almost everything is touch-screened!and

looked very atas! LOVES! But there was this one incident which made me gaged. We just got our

room cards, my brother and I happily checked into our rooms, and I found this really old tattered &

dirty piece of cloth on one of the beds!! Bro said that maybe it's a new kind of decoration or

something. - -" We called up the chambermaids and once they saw that cloth, they quickly took it

away and admitted that one of them forgot to put it away. Poor Bruce had to sleep on that bed after

that. I made him to. MUAHAHAHAHA!

A big PLUS for our hotel is the location. It's a 2 min's walk away from the underground shopping

center!! I window shopped there on the first day for 6 hours, and there was still so many shops that

i've not gone through yet! spent another 5 hours in the underground shopping center the next day..

STILL CAN'T FINISH going through all the shops!! no wonder my dad didn't want to bring us in the

spring / summer. I think he guessed that all the stuffs that i'm gonna buy might add to another new

closet in our house. ( didn't take any photos of there though, was very busy shopping!)

The people there are quite tall and somehow "masculine", even for a girl, her shoulders are as board

as my bro's! A few sales girls from diffrent stores asked about my age and they got a shock. They

thought I was around.. 14, 15 years old. I was like :" Seriously WTF? (- _ -)!!! " I should feel proud.

lol.
I got the kick out of bargaining though, like a nice coat might cost RM160 first, after bargaining, it's

only RM40 loh! Shiok! Became much more thick skinned after returning to Malaysia. XD

The FOOD in Zhu Hai is so darn cheap AND yummy! Here's the place we dined for the past 2 days

in Zhu Hai. (Supposingly a whole street that sells seafood!)

Photobucket

It costed us about RM150 each meal for 7.And these are not all of what we ate! The seafood is so

fucking fresh! Considered quite cheap leh!

I wanna go back there asap!! :( :( :(

We went for a short day's tour the next day, visited the fisher girl statue which we heard was quite

famous.

Photobucket

Photobucket

nothing much to say about that place though, except listening to the fisher girl story from the tourist

guide. Just let the pictures do the talking.

Photobucket

Tourist guide then brought us to a park with loads of flowers. Wanted to go to the New Yuan Ming

Palace & Pearl Land, but all of us were already dead tired. So we literally wasted our trip to Zhu Hai

by shopping in the underground shopping center all day long.

Next day we franticly packed our bags and shopping hauls, rushing for dear life to Macao.

To my suprise, Macao wasn't as fun as Zhu Hai. I do like to gamble a bit here and there once in a

while, but not my parents OR their friends. I regretted not going to the money changer in Malaysia

and trade for a bit of RMB. So at least I can have a little freedom to gamble, my dad is a very kiam

siap guy on a vacation. Makes me wonder sometimes why the point of going on a vacation if we

don't relax and spend a little bit more than usual. So it was boring as hell lah. No shopping to do

there unless you're rich. everything sold there are branded stuff.

Lisboa hotel.

Casino Lisboa

Inside casino Lisboa.

Lisboa founder Stanley Ho is now my new idol. lol. I was always curious how big was a 100 carat

diamond in real life. Stanley Ho made my day, inside his casino was a 200 carat diamond!

One of the better things for tourists in Macao is, the buses that every famous casino has to go

around the city. So like for instance, you want to go to The Venetian hotel & casino from the city,

just hop on a bus that has it's logo on it.


Photobucket

And we did go to the Venetian.It looks sooo grand and huge!!

Photobucket

Btw I also wasted my trip to macao by not going to St.Paul's church.

Photobucket

had gum infection on that day and the pain just made me wanna rest all day. :(

my parents and bro did, and they ate loads of famous macao food there! * am dui !!!*

Photobucket

fisherman's wharf............ which i first thought was a sort of bay, turned out to be a theme park.

went there around 5pm, everything was almost closed :(

Basically that's much of the pictures from my trip. Didn't really buy much because the clothings

were all winter seasoned, not much use if I bought it back to sunny malaysia.

Anyways, I've finally updated on my macao trip december 2009, happy enough! ;)

more on my life or makeup next post!

signing off! mwah!
