A Very Christmasy Holiday Abroad :: Hello Macao and Buh Bye HK~!!!

Day 6
7th Dec 2007

Packed and had breakfast::~
*missing those Hongky porridge*
But SS2 has one store which sells the exact thing::~
Baby brings me there as often as possible::~
:)
anywayz::~
Abroad the ferry::~
It's called the Jet *sth* ...i forgot...
But it's supposed to be the newest on the coast::~
Nice seats::~
It had a plane setting::~
And it even had 1st class seating's~!!!
*sweetness*

~::Dunno how long later::~
We're @ Macao~!!!
Apparently there's a New Macao and the old one::~
We went to the "new" side and headed for the Venetian~!!!
Okay::~
It's not night time la::~
Downloaded this from the Net::~
If I'd really did took this pic personally::~
I'd have to drive up a hill 20 mins away to take it::~
*I'm not so free to do so::~*
=.=""""
Anywayz::~
The Venetian is Macao's pride and
hottest tourist destination::~
It's a replica of the Venetian @ Las Vegas::~
It includes::~
The Casino
*of course*
The Hotel
and *my fav*
The Shopping Centre::~

Their "Keluar" sign::~

Great Lobby::~

Cool ceiling art::~

Visited the Ladies::~

Translation::~

And we saw this store which had a::~

See the white knitted coat above~???
It costs about Rm 800::~

So imagine the freaking rent rates @ the Venetian::~
($.$)
Then::~
We saw this amazing *brightly lit*
& *attention grabbing* wall::~

Yeah::~
We practically would have lap-danced there and then::~
xDDD

My parents wanted to have a go at the casino::~
And so I thought::~
Heck, I'm finally 18::~
Let's go~!!!
Then the guard came to me::~
"You. Cannot go in."
I was like::~
*Protested*
And he just chuckled::~
My mom made a final::~
"Nvm la::~ I need you to take care of your sisters"
*Heart-breaking*
So::~
I backed off::~
Gave up::~
And brought my sis back to
the MU wall which she loved so much::~

and in my head I was::~
Casino. Gamble. Casino.
*sigh*
Well maybe my parents would sponsor a gondola ride::~

Well::~
There's the usual rate of ma lat lou's::~
and the funniest~???
A sales assistant who was setting up some deco @ his store
saw me &
LITERALLY walked out from his store to gape at me::~
My sis saw that and told me::~
and we laughed::~
Haha::~

There::~
Me::~
Moi::~
meLLie::~
Baby sitting::~
*I wanna be paid~!!!
or fed::~
And so::~
My parents rewarded me with::~
My fav::~
Korean Stone Rice~!!!

Not that I could finish it::~
But I would if I could~!!!
anywayz::~
While searching for a cheaper dessert::~
Cuz my drink :: Yam Bubble Milk Tea::~
Cost :: Rm 24
=.=""""
My eye caught this::~

I spotted this in Dawn's blog~!!!
The huge Japanese round-biscuit-like-thingy
reminded me::~
This is from her blog::~

Tho I'm not as enthusiastic about it as she is::~
xDDD

I'd better lay off my calories::~

are the Macanese ppl too thin~???
Or are the tourists not fat enough~???
*Hmmm::~
After dinner::~
I decided to lay off dessert after seeing all the "fat" food::~
We went to a masquerade store::~
Where they didn't let us take picx of their masks::~
But they were so impressive::~
Naturally I couldn't resist::~

Price :: Rm 1000++
O.o
*
*
*
After admiring the insides of the Venetian::~
We headed outside::~

There was a couple a true Venetian tales
of some parts of the design of the building::~

My dad said that the bridge is the only place
where prisoners get a view of
the outside world b4 being executed::~
or is it prosecuted~???
I forgot::~
O.o

These floor lights make a good::~

scared you didn't i~??
Okayy::~
Maybe not::~
xP

There were gondola rides outside too::~

So, how did I like the Venetian~???
Settings :: Marvelous~!!!
Shopping :: A lil too pricy::~
Eye Candy quality :: only the green eyed gondola hottie available
the rest ain't my type::~
but the gondola chiqx are hott too::~
:)
Food :: waayyyy too pricy
Service :: Not so good
There was a rude-ish dude::~
My dad hates his attitude::~
nuff said::~
Casino :: MIA (missing in action)
*sigh*
Back to my room::~
Bathe time::~
The mirror was fog-proof so::~And today's happiest buy::~


Merry Christmas~!!!
Laa dee Darr::~

8th Dec 2007
Visit Casino(s) Day

Love this::~Amazing chandelier::~

Different lightings::~

Lunch time::~

Dunno wad that statue signifies::~
Girl giving the boy a flower~??
=.=""
Makes no sense::~
Unless the girl just received the flower from the dude's hands::~
But it might be related with the Portuguese and Hong Kong thingy::~
Okayy::~
Dun ask me::~
Anywayz::~
We're on the way to visit the Macao's version of A'Famosa::~
Macao's famous Ruins of St. Paul. ::~

And we climbed up to the middle window there::~
*arrow pointed*

Came down::~

My dad asked a dude to snap another family shot for us
and it turned out like this::~He have no skills at photography::~
Whatsoever::~
I feel like strangling him::~
And then::~
We hav to go up some steps to visit the Macao Museum::~

And we walked back to the ruins::~

That's all folks~!!!

This trip must be a record::~
From 800++ picx filtered down to 300++
For my blog alone::~
My dad's cam's picx are
not accounted for yet tho::~
You must be wondering

Reason No. 2#
I did this for my Streamyx-neglected bestie::~
So Chyi,

And I'm really sorry for the MIA lately::~
