#490 Macau, ZhuHai holiday trip

Went to Macau on the 17 and was back on the 22. Always love a getaway from Singapore but I didnt really enjoy this trip that much. Shopping trip totally suck and I only got a bag from this entire trip cause what shops were selling were like thick furry coats and there is no point in getting them since I wont have any chance to wear them in Singapore.

Was at Macau and Zhu Hai (one part of China) and honestly, I am scarred for a few years and will seriously wish that the next few trips I go wont be at China. Queueing up at the custom is a god damn 2.5 hours and imagine how much shopping could be done with these 2.5 hours. People wise, well, lets just say I met all the black sheeps. People were cutting my queue and pushing me around and I actually flared up quite a couple of times. I am proud to say though, that actually pissed them off enough to not cut my queue. So apparently my death glare finally had it use hah.

Day 1

Galaxy, Macau's new hotel. I love the building as it had such an Aladdin theme. If only MBS looked something like that. But oh, in Macau there is a casino building that looked exactly like MBS just that its the smaller version haha

Day 2

The artificial sky at Venetian. Pretty aint it.

^ possible tumblr photo ? HAHAHAHA

The show at City Of Dreams.

Some souviniers shop selling nougats, eggtarts, etc that was so rampant in Macau. In one street alone, there were like 6 shops of this, located few shops away from each other.

Hong Jie haha ! We actually took the same flight from Singapore to Macau and we met again on Day 2. Cool isnt it.

I been through so much just to help my dad take this shot ha. Had to push my way through even though I was just at the shop opposite. Seriously, I hate crowds and it doesnt help when people there are so rude.

In the afternoon, we headed to Zhu Hai. You know Singapore and JB ? You have to take a bus ride/car to cross the custom. Between Macau and Zhu Hai, they are so near, you just have to walk to the custom haha ! But the custom was freaking crazy. Waited for 2.5 hours in a human-packed place. I just cringed at the thought of it oh dear.

"Xiang ya bang"

The best best best oysters I had ever tasted. The pictures dont do it justice as the taste of it is just heavenly and indescribable. It didnt have those fishy fishy smell that seafood in Singapore has and oyster is so fat and succelent. The minute you bite on the oyster, its juice explodes in your mouth and it really really taste fantastic. The garnishes were garlic, chilli and some vegetable and I hate garlic but it tasted so good when eaten with the oyster. My dad and I were lamenting that we only ate a few of it.

Day 3

At fisherman's wharf, with the famous statue

I am smiling in the photo but dammit I could probably shit in pants then while I was sitting on the "cable car" thingy. My fear of heights is that bad :/

You know in Korea there is a place where lovers place locks together, as in to signifies their love being locked in each other's hearts forever ? This is the Zhuhai's version !

Only camwhore pic of the whole journey. #dealwithitDay 4

Famous pork bun

Something like egg custard beancurd ?

At a Portuguese restaurant ! This is the ox tail. The place was jam packed as well because the food was good !

Day 5

White chocolate maltesers which cant be found in Singapore ! :( It tasted so good ~
(okay there are so little day 4 and 5 pictures because I am too lazy to rotate my pictures as well as there is no point in showing my meagre readers what I had done in Macau right ? Haha)

Though I didnt enjoy this trip as much as I did for Taiwan, but I am still thankful for this trip. As long as its time spent with my family it will be great, and a trip out of Singapore is even better.

I intend to treat my family to a holiday trip next year haha. No, not crazy, since I work, but that means massive savings and some planning to do now. Thailand ? Indonesia ? Malaysia ? Somewhere cheap and affordable for me to save up within 6 months. Any suggestion ?

Love, Ivy
