Luckily i brought along my passport.. i didn't know that tourist need them to travel to macau.. lol.. not like sg and sentosa wor.. hahaha. I thought they are supposed to be the same country.. lol.. a little history on macau.. macau was a Portuguese colony back in the 16th centry.. a bit like hk like that, but was returned to china in 1999.
Anyway, was abroad the ferry (the slower and maybe the cheaper service)and it started swaying the way a seacraft should.. and we got the last few seats.. empty and near the toilet... coz we checked in too late. Halfway, i thought i was in sg's singapore river.. whahaha.. started seeing so many merlions lor. LOL.. only 15 mins out, already hear so many people puking.. whaha.. just that i didn't want to take pics of them puking.. i don't want to accumulate bad karma wor. Trying hard to sleep when suddenly i heard a very irritating person singing some songs.. omg.. tmd.. this ferry is not ktv leh.. even though i think he misses his homeland, he shouldn't wake me up from my sleep.. super pissed lor. And straight away, i can tell which country he is from. Sigh.. i so glad of so many things.
Rather big and comfortable seat.. less the smell of the 'merlions' behind me.. and the KTV session..
Reached there, and got a bit of a shock. Wahahaa.. it was soooooo different from hk! In hk, other than chinese, signboards were in english too.. but in macau, i think i'm seeing portuguese. LOL.. so blur it seems.. reached the terminal le and then got stuck for a while.. haha.. i think might be the slight seasick huh?
I'm in Macau ^^
Then saw the curreny exchange sign. Didn't know that hk curreny is used in macau also.. whahaha.. searched in vain for the money changer lor.. whahaa.. but hk is slightly higher in value la.. so a bit bo hua. But changed liao change back also bo hua.. haha.. so its a lose lose situation.
Took their bus service to go sight seeing.. the buildings were all so unique lor.. a bit really like hk's version of sentosa. But too many places to go, and sadly, chose a few only becoz the rain followed us all the way from HK.. argh.. then my friend said, water is money.. (shui wei cai).. whahaa.. then i remembered, we are supposed to go casino to place some bets.
Nice buildings they've got wor..
Even their mac also the same..
Took macau's minibus to one of the casino.. but midway, the minibus had a collision with a bus in front.. and i was seated in the front seat lor.. wahaha.. thankfully, it was a minor one, and no one was hurt. I think the bus driver fell asleep and lost the grip on his brakes.
Went to casino "sands" and was really awed by the sheer power of money! Waaaah! Everything also gold colour de lor.. wahahahaa.. but the 1st thing that caught my attention was that Sic bo (骰寶)/(大小) can be played by machines.. whahahahahaa.. super cute to see the dice jumping around in a dome lor.. wahhaha.. it was my 1st time in a casino wor.. coz i was underaged the other time i went to gentings with the village chief.. lol.. so was a bit shua ku la.
Golden 'Sands'
Front view
Then saw a lot more jackpot machines too.. mostly with aunties lor.. haha.. the ah peks are all at the tables there trying luck against the bankers. So walked around with HKD 500 (SGD 100) worth of chips in my hand.. The plan was, to dump all in one game and regardless of the result, just to accept it. But don't know why, during the placing of bets, 2 chips got left in my hand.. whahaha.. i only put in HKD 300 (SGD 60).. lol.. but the 1st time, won in sic bo against the banker. Wahaha.. and then decided it was time to stop. I must practice some discipline.. similar to market discipline wor.. earn enough and it was time to stop.. and not to stop only when there was nothing more to lose.
So for the rest of the time in the casino, i was walking around only.. wahaha.. and my friend kept winnig. I think must be the rain ba.. wahhaha.. anyway, i've covered my ferry ticket.. i'm glad contented enough. Oh ya.. no pictures can be taken in the casino wor..
After my friend had won "enough" (actually it was time for us to be back to catch our ferry).. then we left. Wahah.. on the way back, took a few more pics of some of the theme parks there. (was having a feeling of dejavu now.. hmmm.. everything seems so familar)
Was on the way back.. this time round, the trip was super comfortable.. haha.. i slept well.. till we are nearing hk again. This time, there was really a fireworks display. My lousy brick sized 2.0 megapix V2 couldn't keep up with the night vision wor. so had a handful of lousy pics.
Quite difficult to capture a moving target.. especially when your don't know what is coming out from the fireworks
The 3rd night was the earliest that we called it a day.. it was super crowded at tsim sha tsui.. so we moved back to jordan. Dinner was not very spectacular. Was back at hotel and we decide to polish off the black label. LOL.. with almost 5/8 of a bottle.. we brought in down to less than 1/4 in around an hour. LOL.. tah-ed a lot.. and it was really a super tah lor. Mixer and liquor ration of 1:1.. super disgusting taste. And after 3 tah or so.. my friend seh and went to the toilet to hug the toilet bowl. LOL.. (i can see it by the reflection of the mirror).. wanted to help him up but i was super seh myself too.. haven't been sleeping well wor.. and shortly after, i fell asleep with the tv still on. (eh.. i really wanted to finish that show leh.. haha.. a lot of midnight shows on their national day leh)
