ok..chang2 hua4 duan3 suo1..time for Macau-HK trip entry!!
18th Aug, Thursday
we set off from our house @ abt 5am n drove all de way to airport..it already statred rainin in sg so early in de mornin..haiz..arrived @ de airport abt 40mins later n check-in our luggage..flight @ 7.05am n we decided to grab a few sandwiches from Subway since we dun hv much time for a proper breakfast..went into de waitin area n for dunno watever reason, de airport mada "saw" somethin suspicious when my handbag went thru de conveyor belt for scannin..so one of them literally empty de contents of my bag, n scan it 2 more times..i was damn pissed off at de time becoz 1) i hate pple touchin my bag n emptyin out all de contents for all to see, n 2) de mada got abit of attitude problem..but in de end they cant find dat "susicpious" item in my bag..wat a waste of time..@#$%@#
plane took off slightly later den scheduled due to some planes comin in to sg..de flight took abt 3hrs 30mins..reached Macua airport @ abt 11am..we took a cab from de aiport st to de ferry terminal @ Taipa ( Tam Zai ) to cross over to HK, or rather Kowloon..me n bro wasn quite prepared for de choppy ferry ride n when we finally reached our destination 1hr n 10mins later, both of us were drenched wif sweat n nearly vomited..(-_-")
approached de information counter for directions to our hotel, The Kowloon Hotel..de ger suggested we walkin over instead of tkin a cab since it will only tk abt 10mins..so wif our luggage in hand, we made our way to our hotel..we were like halfway there when it started rainin..damn suay man..we dashed across roads n junctions n finally arrived slightly drenched @ our hotel..my sis was waitin for us there..did de usual checkin in n proceed to hv our lunch @ one of de hotel's restuarants where my sis had reserve a table..had dim sum & pigeons..i dun really find them nice, tasted abit bland to me..i think HK food r of a lighter taste, as in they dun tk their food oo salty or sweet..erm..u koe wat i mean lah..very difficult to explain..haha..is dat true, KY dear?? haha..
after lunch sis need to go some place 1st so we went to our rooms to do some unpackin be4 headin out to explore Kwoloon!!! erm..part of it lah..we took de MTR ( HK's version of our MRT..actually is de same, except dat de average travellin speed of their subway is like at least twice of dat in SG!!! ) at de Tsim Sha Tsui station, since our hotel is located juz beside it..we alighted from Mong Kok n wandered out of de station from one of de exit, walk abit n ended up @............
~~ Langham Place ~~ haha..pix ripped off from some site..forgot to de a pix of de mall..anyway, dis is de famous new shoppin mall in MongKok, i think..it consists of 13 levels & 4 basements ( of which 2 r carparks ) n it's huge!!! we din explore de whole mall..juz a few levels but i managed to buy 2 tees from 1 of de shops..costs only HK$150 after 40% discount n some more bargainin..haha..happy happy..anyway, de mall is simply a shoppin heaven..interested to koe more abt it, click here
had dessert @ 1 of de shops at some corner..i had black sesame wif beancurd..quite nice, although i would prefer a all black sesame dessert anytime..haha..daddy ordered black sesame wif red bean n mum somethin similar..bro had mango buddin plus dunno wat..cant rem..we left de mall after dat..n since de rain had lessen, daddy decided dat we can make our way back to our hotel, on foot!!! which means we hv to walked de distance of 3 subway stations!!! (-_-")
~~ Subway map..added in 2 new stations coz dis map had not been updated ~~ see those circled in red?? ya..we walked from MongKok back to Tsim Sha Tsui, stoppin by at Temple Street n some other places ( think we passed by some street which is similar to our Geylang area )..no doubt it was damn tirin but had fun nonetheless..it's different when u go to dis places on foot compare to tkin transport..
went back to our hotels n waited for my sis to join us for dinner..took de subway again back to MongKok n sis bought us to Tung Choi Street ( Women's Street ) to walk walk n had dinner @ one of de shops..had porridge, mee n some of their local dishes..once again, a bit bland for my likin but still yummy..heez..
~~ Tung Choi Street..dis pix taken from some site..again.. =P ~~after dinner, we walked n walked n ended up at one of de Jewellery shops there..mum, sis n moi tried on numerous earrings n think it's only abt an hr plus later dat each of us finally found de diamond earrings we like..
~~ i got 1 of dis.... ~~
~~ n a pair of dis!! ~~wahaha..yes..in case u r wonderin, i bought 3 earrings..plus a 18k silver chain..wahahaha..Da Shou Huo!!! mine totalled to abt HK$ 4000, i think..mum n sis each got a pair of earrings too..daddy Da Chu Xue ah..heez.. ( a big kiss to daddy..wahahaha..)
by de time we finished our jewellery shoppin, it was close to 11pm..kinda tired to cont shoppin so took de subway back to Tsim Sha Tsui..end of Day 1 !!!!!!!
~~ inside de subway ~~
19th Aug, Fridayleft our hotel @ abt 9am..raining again..sianz..cant decide on where to makan breakfast, so ended up at Hotel Miramar HongKong..de food was ok, not a great deal of variety though..went back to our hotel to check out coz daddy only made reservation for a day..he wasn sure where we will b stayin ( i.e in Macau or Kowloon )..anyway, went over to The Imperial Hotel after checkin out to check in..haha..kinda like hotel-hoppin..luckily, it's still ard de same area.. 
~~ The Imperial Hotel ~~after de necessary checkin-in, we headed to the China Ferry Terminal to tk a ferry to Macau..dis time, me n bro r well prepared wif de pills for motion sickness..fell asleep as soon as we sat down..very effective..think i can even dance ard de ferry without feelin giddy..haha..reached de macau ferry terminal after 1plus hr n took a cab to Taipa area to de famous Pinocchio restuarant for lunch...
~~ Mu Ou ~~had de Portuguese chicken, steam crab, super-sized prawns ( they r really huge!! ), codfish n some other food..quite nice n simply luv their dessert!! some puddin wif dunno wat crumbs on it..din managed to catch de name of it but it's really yummy..haizzzzzz..miss it man..
walked along de alleys n saw many shops sellin de Sin4 Ren2 bing3, a famous local product..nice nice..but din buy much coz cant squeeze into luggage..
~~ de alley behind Pinocchio restuarant ~~took a bus down to Casa Garden, a very re nao place in Macau..
~~ Casa Garden ~~
~~ Santa Casa Da Misericordia ~~took a stroll along de alleys/street n arrived at : 
~~ St. Paul's Church ruins ~~
~~ de chinese temple juz beside ~~it was said dat when a fire broke out in de church's kitchens n destroyed de college & body of de church..miraclously, dis temple which is located juz beside de church stayed intact..hmmm...
~~ from de church's view ~~found our way back to Casa Garden where we took a bus back to de ferry terminal..it was already 6plus when we reached Kowloon n was rainin again..met up wif my mum's cousin, i call her Biao Yi ( translated to cousin aunt ), who took us to 1 of de restuarnts near our hotel for dinner..dinner was mainly seafood again..quite ok lah..was on our way back to our hotel when my bro drag my dad n moi to 1 of de City Chain outlets over there..he wanted a new watch n my dad bought 1 for him, since he din buy anythin for my bro yet..bro saw a Ellesse watch which he likes ( n also able to fit his wrist..wahahaha.. ) so dad bought it..no favouritism ah..haha..
20th Aug, Saturday
woke up at 8plus..waited for my Biao Yi to meet up wif us @ our hotel..de weather was much worse den de previous 2 days..heavy rains wif thunder storms..luckily, de subway station was only a few paces away from our hotel so managed to stay relatively dry while we make our way to Disneyland!! haha..yes..although we din go in to see..de rain is juz too big..anyway, we alighted from Sunny Bay station n board de subway operated solely to go to Disneyland resort.. ( see de above MTR map )
~~ @ Sunny Bay station ~~
~~ inside de disney subway..dat's us explorin de displays ~~
~~ me & mum ~~
~~ bro & dad ~~
~~ me & Biao Yi ~~
~~ @ Disneyland Resort station ~~
~~ HK Disneyland!! ~~
~~ us ~~
~~ kinda blur huh..haha ~~we left to proceed to HongKong via subway..alighted from Central station ( Zhong1 Yang1 ) n transfered to de Island Line ( Gang2 Dao3 Xian4 ) be4 alightin @ Causeway Bay ( Tong2 Luo2 Wan1 )..we were runnin out of time so din really shop ard de mall @ Causeway Bay..we headed towards a small shop dat's only abt 1 street away from de sation for Wanton Mee!! Biao Yi says it's quite famous over there, de shop i mean..but hor..erm..again it tastes abit bland to me..isit juz me or wat? haha..anyway, was enjoyable lah..when u feel hungry ( din tk breakfast ), almost everythin will b nice..we ordered 5 bowls of wanton mee, 2 bowls of porridge n 1 plate of hor fun..yes..our appetite is still de same..wahahha..
headed back to our hotel via subway to check out..it was already 2 plus n our flight is @ 7pm..still hv to tk de ferry back to Macau n check in @ de airport..ma fan man..juz as we r leavin our hotel, it started to pour again..we din managed to flagged a cab @ our hotel so hv to walk abit of distance to de main road, wif our luggage behind us..we will like standin in de rain for quite some time be4 we flagged down a cab..so exciting man (-_-")..reached de ferry terminal n bought de tix..n den for de 2nd time durin de trip, somethin suay happen to me again..
i was at de immigration checkpt waitin was my passort to b stamped..my parents n bro was @ another queue which is much faster n so they r waitin for me behind de counters..each of us were carryin a luggage bag, n plus another plastic bag of mooncakes my Biao Yi gave us..so i was happily ( well..i was actually kinda pissed @ how slow de immigration officer was..haha) makin my way to family when i was stopped by 2 female chin-na immigration officers..they wanted to do a spot check on me!!!!!! my family was also shocked..there's nothin i can do so i guai guai follow them into some room..
i was gettin damn pissed off @ dat time, instead of nervous..mayb due to de fact dat de ferry's leavin in abt 15mins time n was checked for no reason..they will speakin to me in cantonese n though i can understand ( coz i'm one, duh ), but there's some specific terms dat i catch no ball..so i told them i dun really understand canto, n so they switched to mandrian..very chin-na mandrian..n guess de 1st thing they ask me??
Do u hv any guns or armed weapons in possesion??
(-_-")!!!
i was like..huh? GUNS? No-oooooo..n den proceeded to check my luggage, my mooncakes!! & my slingbag..i simply HATE pple sniffin thru my bags, n dis is precisely wat they did..so can u imagine how angry i got..n it showed in my face, it think..so i ask them bluntly if there is any reason why they r doin a check on me..n they reply wif,
"we officers hv every right to check on anyone."wtf..yes i koe u officers Gao Gao Zai Shang, but there muz b a reason y rite..like is it becoz u dun like my face or wat..n den there's dis stup*d officer who's like admirin my passport or wat, found somethin funny/interestin or wat..ok..those holdin singapore passports would koe dat there r a few pages inside dat r marked wif dotted letters or numbers, rite..i dunno wat it is for ( bro later told me dat it's for those visually impaired pple..for wat purpose i dunno ), n wouldn't hv cared if not for dis incident..she asked me,
y is my ID number different from de dotted letters/numbers inside my passport?
me: i dunno..mayb r juz for numberin pages......
she: but they r all de same ( de letters/numbers in de few marked pages )
me: den i dunno liao.. ( u shld go ask singapore govt lah, i was thinkin )
but i din say out lah..dun wan to make more trouble den i'm already in..at last, they r happy wif their "spot check" n finally let me out..de 1st thing i saw my family was to blurt out a string of dirty words..haha..yes..i'm not dat shu nu..told them wat happened, esp de gun part..wtf..my dad den told me dat after i was inside, he asked another immigration officer y was i stopped..de officer says dat becoz i was carryin alot of stuff, n they saw dat i was alone ( @ de counter )..(-_-")
i wasn't carryin lots of things actually, but mayb becoz of my size, or rather height, it seems dat de stuff r quite alot in proportion to my size..dat's de only reason he gave...........ok..i got nothin more to say..juz dat i'm damn suay....
after dat, everythin was smooth sailin..reached Macau airport quite early, so went for our dinner..had mushroom mee n shared Portuguese eggtarts wif family..de eggtarts r yummy, better den those in Sg..board de plane on time n finally arrived Home at 10plus..later supper @ de airport be4 headin to home sweet home...
ok..finally done wif de trip..i took abt 3 days to blog, although only bit by bit each time..cant really rem much..hope u enjoy, although pls excuse me for my english..gettin bad to worse..haha

haha..my dear frenz hv been commentin abt de results, esp de cheatin part so i decided to try doin de quiz again..juz to b sure..i did it 3 times dis time round, n de results r:The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.
What Are The Keys To Your Heart?i think dis is more me den de previous result..i dunno abt de marriage part though..haha..will tell u guys if it's accurate after i got married for a few yrs lah, if i still blogged by den..haha..n seriously, de chances of me cheatin while in a relationship is pretty low, if i muz say..so to all my potential dears out there, dun worry..erm..much.......wahahaha.....
left silently at ... 7:54 PM

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.
What Are The Keys To Your Heart?haha..i muz say..it's rather accurate for me..go hv a try on dis quizzes if u really hv nothin better to do, like me dis days..haha =P
