blogging eats time!!

seriously, time passes veri fast when u r so into writing stuff. shouldnt have written last night... ate up my sleeping time. write during office hour more logical sia...

watched Fagastic 4 last night, with laiyi, kimseng, zhenwei, zeming, wenyao, zhengyi.. not say that show is exciting, but still watchable. 3 of us bought nachos to eat. GV is famous for long advertisement, so thot the nachos should be able to finish before show start.. You know.. nachos veri crunchy, so when you munch it, a lot of noise is produced. That's not veri good for the rest of the audience. Somehow, all 3 didnt manage to finish before the show start. Congratz~ so i had to slowly munch the nacho, cushioning the crunching sounds, and the cheese has depleted. Damn.. you know how bad nachos can be without cheese? miscalculation, everytime buy nachos the cheese ending sure left a lot. who knows yesterday the person so stingy... anyway, ya.. let's not leak any spoiler out. so conclusion, the show is watchable lah.. we stayed through the whole ending credits, no special ending.. BOO~

let's get on with hong kong stuff again.. oh ya.. sorry no photos.. yet.. i never brought camera, or rather, camera is spoilt. so all photos are with eileen's camera.

Day 3

going to macau for day 3. up to then, we didnt have any dim sum yet. How can say we had been to hongkong when we never had the dim sum in hongkong. there are 3 kind of restaurant i can visualize for dim sum.

1. some veri veri small teahouse like those dessert shops. no one pushing cart one. juz a simple restaurant


2. the tradition (as least that's wat i thot) type. got pple push cart around. Like the hong xing restaurant in chinatown, but lower class. those without good service, but nice food type of restaurant. like the one always showed in Ch49..


3. the high class end. posh looking chinese restaurant. most probably no push cart one. u order, they go deliver to you. price a bit steep type.

we were actually looking for type 2. but we didnt know where to find. with the onli guide book we have, an outdated guidebook by mediacorp.. got 1 such restaurant in hong kong island @ Wellington Street. woot~ nice experience there.. really veri local feeling.. hahaha.. but eating those in place hor, speaking chinese is useless! so i'm like a mute there.. so eileen did all the asking and stuff..

btw, we didnt go hongkong island juz specially for the dim sum. it was because we were actually going to the harbour of hong kong island to take boat to macau. Mistake! stupid concierge person told us need to go hongkong island habour to take boat to macau. but i see the map, kowloon harbour oso got go macau one ah. but dun dare to take the bet. rather take the longer way to play safe.. To go Macau, you can take boat from Kowloon, not necessarily from Hong Kong Island. Each trip cost 120-140 HKD (around 24-28 SGD). so a to and fro trip cost ard 300 HKD.

Something interesting to take note here for Macau. Once you exit the harbour building of Macau, you will start to see a lot of pple standing outside holding a signboard. These are the ushers of respective casino hotels. There are free shuttle bus to their casino! So they are there to lure u to their casino by offering free shuttle bus + maybe some coupons (with stupid conditions that end up u might not use). So, "charmed" by chow yun fatt, so we went to Crown, a relatively new casino hotel. The minimum bet for the table games is pretty high, ranging from 200HKD lidat.. so table game is out for me, left only jackpot.

jackpot has not more handle for you to pull liao.. gone were the days when jackpot was still a mechanical machine.. you know the sound of the barrel turning, sound of the spring inside the handle mechanism, coins dropping out of the holes.. those rox.. but now no more le.. now u insert a bill note, credit issued, press button, see result. the the rules are much more complicated now.. last time 5 lines max only. now, WOOT~, 50 lines.. and 90% of the lines u dunno how they run. so u juz gotta keep pressing the button. win, happy. lose, put more money in lor. my theory for jackpot. just feed in the money, chiong for the max line. keep pressing.. should win eventually. dun be too greedy, think enough liao can stop. rest, move on to next machine. haha.. these are electronic machines. Programmed. Think in the programmer way might help. anyway.. won 140HKD there.. =D But big deal. the boat ride itself single trip alreadi cost me 130HKD liao..

Next stop was St. Paulo (Da San Ba). nice chinese name.. learned something about hongkong (macau similarly), u want good food, walk into the deeper streets from the main road. those are the nicer shop and cheaper. and yeah, we did that in Macau. found a not bad looking tea restaurant. DAMN CHEAP! eileen ordered a beef steak set. 2 huge pcs of beef steak, a plate of spaghetti, a cup of milk tea, a bowl of soup.. all for 8SGD!! or was it 9 or 10? anyway, it's juz cheap... and quite nice.. i ordered pork chop rice.. huge serving.. but the sauce is nice, so i finished up everything.. think popo and sanyi got a shock but never sound out only.. haha..

along the way up to Da San Ba got some pasar malam stalls and some goodies shops. Almond biscuit is a MUST buy from Macau. the peanut sweet is nice too. noticed that most of the goodies shops the same one.. after walking up and down, not early liao.. so it's time to go back to hong kong. this time we took boat back to Kowloon. that's when we all comfirmed that kowloon has boat to Macau. At kowloon harbour area got those branded shops. Kinda late when we reached our hotel. So we eat at 1 of the restaurant opposite the hotel. Another one, but also noodle and porridge, except with more variety.

after dinner, we go to a departmental store across the street, something like metro lidat.. Then we went to walk Temple Street again, with popo this time. Nothing special here, same thing, had dessert again too, but different shop. Then popo tired liao, so sanyi wanna bring her back to hotel rest. we went back with them to hotel, escorting. Once reached hotel, we split up. sanyi and popo rest in hotel, we 3 youngster rox the day! Went back to Temple Street. This time with onli dear and hui, i can finally shop at ease.

most of the time i'll walk at the back making sure everyone is in sight, making sure they are okay and stuff.. might be i think too much of myself or wat, but at least that's what i thot i should do. now with onli 2 kids, i can havoc liao.. was looking for a pocket watch, thot it's cool to have one.. look look look look, woot~ found FMA pocket watch. looks interesting so i bought it. then once again we reached the sex toys portion. *giggle giggle* spotted a shop selling food.. so we went to buy some makan and er.. makan. the food was finished while walking back to hotel.. spotted another shop selling more food! so bought some more stuff and makan again.. reached hotel.. feeling veri full.. and veri tired. started the day early in the morning 7am, and reach back hotel late at night 1am+.. sleep~~
