All is settled for my "practicum" or school experience... Not too bad, the schools seems quite okay... I can wear PE attire to observe PE lessons... Not like my friend, she kena schools that wants her to wear Formal Attire and stand in the hot sun~ Super siao man~ Hahaa!!

Anyway today was supposed to go climbing with evon and saiful~ but came down with a flu~ I down tink i wan to be up there, sniffing away~ so stupid... Plus with all the fear about avian flu, my little flu may jus cause a scare in the confined area... Hahaa!

My cousin "killed" the computer but i have to fix it... What logic? I'll just give it a shot, but if can't help, den really too bad liao~ muz get the real computer ppl to check liao~

Lastly, adrian bought a NDS Lite for me... silver color~ Very pretty~ But i was quite angry becoz its such a waste of money~ But i wun be bringing it out yet, coz i have to totally drain the battery before charging it and i have yet to do so~ Heee~

Hongkong Trip Aftermath~

We went many many places during the trip. Both HK dollar and RMB is about 5:1.

Day 0
We landed at Macau at 12mn, where we stayed a night at "Best Western Sun Sun Hotel" it cost 430 HK dollar but it wasn't quite worth it because the room was quite small and the location was not too good~ Nothing much around the area except a few hawkers which we didn't try~

Day 1
We checked out and headed to another hotel nearer the gambling district~ "President Hotel" Very comfortable for only 530 HK dollar. From there we went to Zhuhai Via the Barrier Gate. Zhuhai is in China and the shopping there was quite alright. Food is damn cheap there... A very good meal for 4 ppl can cost up to 60 RMB onli~
After that we went to New Yuan Ming Palace where we were cheated of our money again and again~ The tram ride around the place is so STUPID... I tink it was just a 10 min ride with explanation that we couldn't understand... Lost money there... Next, we wanted to go someplace but along the way met these ppl offering to write poems with our names. They emphasized that it was only 5 bucks~ and guess wat? that was only for the poems... NOT the writing materials... So by the time it was completed, it cost me 85 RMB... Irritating...
We went to walk in the maze only to get caught in the rain... But when we were ready to leave, we took photos of us in the "princess and emperor" clothings only to get disappointed again... My eyes were closed in one of the better pictures yet they didn't retake on the spot... They camera is digital for goodness sake... Hiaz... So i ended up paying for a miserable ugly picture which i tink i forgot to bring back...
Went back to the Gongbei Terminal which we will go back to Macau... There, we bought some chinese cheong sam style clothings which again we were cheated there...Hiaz...

NEVER go Zhuhai Again ba~

Day 2
We went to Hongkong via the Turbojet Ferry. Quite Ex. About 130 per ticket. We stayed at Dorsett Sea View Hotel. It was damn small but it felt very cosy. I tink it cost us about 510 HK dollar each night. Shopping at Ladies Street at Mongkok reminds me of shopping in Bangkok's Flee Market. Very happening, but these ppl literally scolds you for haggling and NOT buying in the end... Haha! I guess if you have the heart to buy, you will be able to haggle a good price. So... Tips: Keep Haggling, and confirmed the price before getting new piece.
OH. do not buy mahjong from ppl that insist theirs is "ICI" standard... Coz we dunno how to confirm that... Just buy the cheapest. Check and Check the goods. Open to check the weight and size too...
Shopping at Temple Street at Yau Ma Tei is almost the same as Ladies Street, except this is more of a "Men's Street". Its very obvious when you are there. Imagine ppl selling sex toys out in the open... My goodness... But the stuffs there are somewhat cheaper and there are more police officers there... So i guess its quite safe to shop around there. The hotel we stayed in is nearer to Temple Street which makes it very convenient to go back after a night of shopping.

Day 3
We went to the Lantau Island where we had this bus ride which goes thru the forest and hills. I lost my phone reception along the way... But the view was fantastic... Hahaa! We reached the place where the giant Tian Tan Buddha was situated. We paid for and ate the vegetarian meal at Po Lin Monastry and quickly scaled the stairs to reach the giant Buddha. I shld have counted the number of steps... Hahaa! We can actually touch the clouds up there... Very Cooling... Hee~
After that, we went back and continued shopping...

Day 4.
We didn't manage to get another room at the same hotel, so we went to Causeway Bay for more shopping... We stay at Weng Fatt Hostel. Paid about 450 for 2 Single and 1 double bed... Quite spacious~
We took the tram up to "Victoria's Peak" and there we visited the Madame Tussauds. Had a Fun Time there, posing with the celebs but it gets boring after a while. After dat, we went to the peak to take photos of the beautiful scenery.
But shopping here was quite disappointing... Most of the stuffs at the flee market was quite outdated... But the roadside shops were okay... Pricing wise, i would say pretty much the same as singapore and you can't haggle here... So... If you dun mind paying the same for prettier clothes, then this place is for you...

Oh, did i mention that we had to go ALL the way back to Yau Ma Tei just to change the mahjong set... So irritating man~ different size when they promised that its the same size... Long Story man~ Jus know that their service was totally different from the day before~

Day 5
We went back to macau via ferry. We went shopping at St Dominic Square which there were NOTHING~ So we decided to go Casino Hopping. Most of the casinos there were empty except Sands and Wynn. The best part? The famous Floating Casino was also empty! The minimum stakes at Sands was way above my league. Each hand needs a minimum of like 200 HK dollar? The cheapest was 50 HK dollar for "Big Small Dice Game" My aunty won so much at Jackpot but refused to leave... So in the end lose back to the machine...

Day 6
We went to this beach called Hac Sa. It means Black Sand. The sand is literally black. Perfect gift for my perfect frens~ Hee~ Next we went to the Taipa village... Where my aunty bought all the food items and my sis bought some souveniours... But thats about all... I saw alot of visitors looking lost like us there... We were kinda cheated i guess... The books had all the nice reviews for this place... After dat, we went to the airport and flew back to singapore. Landed at about 12mn too~

Day 11
Here's the photos! Spend so many days just uploading the photos to my laptop and to the web... Had to bear with a laggy laptop too, thanks to my bf... Hiaz...

The young lady is my sister, rebecca. The young man beside her is her bf, Andy. And finally, the mature looking lady is of course my Aunty who sponsored us the trip!

Holiday Short Trips

Wanted to go Redang, Malaysia for a short getaway... But my aunty thought it was too far as it is a 12 hour bus journey there... So we decided on Pangkor Island, also in malaysia... After doing all the research as to wat we can do there, my aunty decided that she will not have anything to do there... Which is irritating becoz we already did all the research... Spending so much time trying to gather the price, which resorts, wat activities... We almost started planning the itinery... In the end, I tink we will end up going for a cruise... Which is irritating... Coz there is nothing much to do on a cruise...

Whats more? My uncle called me up early this morning just to tell me that its a holiday that my aunty needs... So go along with her.... So its not wat we want, but wat my aunty wants... If i'm not financially unstable, i would have gone to pangkor with my sis and her bf... I tink we will have a more fun time there on our own...

Hiaz... Wat to do? Jus go lo~

Family Chalet June 2007

5 days chalet is over in a flash... It was fun becoz alot of ppl turned up over the 5 days... Our chalet this time round is Ferry Point Chalet 5~ My sis also turned up with her bf, which made it even more fun. Fishing, Volleyball, Badminton, Mahjong, BBQ and FOOD... and More Food! Rex "the golden retriever", Whiskers "the chalet cat" and No Name Yet "the boardwalk cat" all had a share in our food... Everyone was happy and satisfied at the end... We couldn't bear to leave..

We also had some science experiment going on during the few days there too~ The "explosion" was so loud and the end result was so "smoky" that the security thought there was terrorists... So funny~ But it was damn cool~

Yesterday was also Aunty Bessie's Bday~ She ordered a Mahjong Cake for herself~ Very cute!! Since she likes cat so much, most of the presents are themed "CATS" Book bout cats, cat picture frame, cat display pieces and more... Hahaa!

Here's the link to the pictures~!
