Macao City

Waking up early on the second day of my holiday, I was too bored cause the time was around 7:30am on a Monday morning. Everyone is working except me, so I took the camera and did some long range shooting and this is what I snapped. The petrol station of Macao. It really look like Shell from far because of the colour but then after zooming in, it is not. Come to think of it, after touring around Macao city, that is the only petrol station I encountered.

The stadium of Macao is another zoomed shot I took. Yeap, with a very good camera and lens. The stadium is not that big but then again, it is considered big for a place like Macao.

Macao International Airport. The departure hall. Yea, you can see Bally brand. Everywhere I go is just desinger labels. Unfortunately I cannot afford Bally.

The sweet desserts of Macao. The desserts are more to Portugal culture but it is yummy. HKD 15-25 each. The names are labels in purple boxes. The desserts are nice. The sweet rice has a unique texture. It is sticky (like pulut) but then it is not that sweet, very unlike from the name given to the dessert.

View of Macao city from my suite. It is beautiful. The camera lens is good, but I am just a beginner and I still have alot to learn. The right side of the contruction site is actually an upcoming casino. Yeah... Macao is full of casinos.

Another view of Macao city from my suite. This is actually the city of Macao, part of it.

The view of the church from the suite where I visited during the tour. It is very english-like. Well, Macao was populated with Portugals during the invasion. With the invasion, Macao is influenced with Portugal culture.


Macao's roundabout. It is as big as Kuching's roundabout but at least this roundabout is much groomed.

The Macao Tower Convention & Exhibition Centre. I am sitting on the glass of the highest floor. Scary feeling. Feels like floating in the air. Looking down to the ground from the glass floor makes you think twice before commiting suicide. Seriously, my advise to people who wants to commit cuicide, look through the glass and think what will happen if your body lands SPLAT on the ground from that height.

Or you can try bungee jump. The highest bungee jump in the world. No way I am trying that.

To all those who wants to commit suicide... please try the bungee jump then you can decide if you want to commit suicide.


The church yard where I visited in the tour. Isn't it beautiful? I just love Macao. It somehow gave me the homely feeling eventhough the place is full of casinos.

Macao's milk tea from the famous "kopitiam". This shop also sells the pork-chop bao but I did not eat it cause I am pork-free person.


Macao commercial centre. Feels like Bunga Raya street in Melaka, or Padungan road in Kuching. It is so clean. The atmosphere is nice cause of the cool air which does not make you feel dirty or sweaty. You have to speak Cantonese in Macao cause of the locals speaks Cantonese and very little speaks Portugal (Portugal descendents).

Sonia, the tour guide. Funny lady, I like her alot. She is very extrovert lady, no wonder she is in the tourist business. Her knowledge in other parts of the world is good. She even know quite alot about Singapore and Malaysia. Looks like she does her homework too.

A-Ma temple of Macao. Opposite this temple is the Maritime Museum of Macao and the South China Sea. Directly opposite this location is Hai Chu, where it is famous for its fresh seasfood, especially the prawn. Hai Chu is part of China. No, you do not need a visa to get to the village to eat the seafood.

I am tasting the local-made ice cream during winter and it feels good. The ice-cream is nice. The texture is smooth. It cost me HKD5 (SGD0.90, exchange rate when I changed the money was SGD1:HKD5.37).

Behind me is the Macao Maritime Museum. Nothing much inside. It is not as informative as the Maritime Museum in Melaka but at least it is entertaining during the tour.

Macao Fisherman's Wharf. I just wondered what is this place for but according to history, Macao's economic income was fishing. This is the village where most fishermen lives and started their fishing trip. Until the casino business came in, fishing phased out. So, the tribute to fishermen is this wharf.

Steamboat eatery shop at one of the busy streets in Macao city. It is very nice to have steamboat during winter time. It is not a posh place but at least the steambot helps to warm the body from the cold night. It's very refreshing.

The gateway of St Paul's. The history is long but to cut short, the church was burned down twice. The final straw was to let the gate stays as it is. And somehow it became a tourist site.

Sonia explaning to us on the history of St Paul's gateway. Wah... I did not realise my hair colour looks real nice. Thanks to my hairstylist who is back in Kuching, gosh I miss my stylist.


Another commercial square for Macao, just below the pathway of St Paul's gateway. I tasted my 1st purtugese egg tart there.

Venetian-Macao Resort Hotel

Welcome! Welcome! This is how you are being greeted... A golden orb... Isn't it out-of-this-world? It is like being a royal subject for a day... Greeted in rich gold splendour. Seriously... what more can you ask for? I am speechless.

The room is awesome. The interior design of every 5-start hotels I've been is something I am very particular with but in Venetian Suite, the display... it is awesome. This is a Suite and not a Standard Room! Yellow lighting in the room gives out a very romantic feeling. There is a study corner, a leisure corner & sleeping area. Oh yea... forgot to take a picture but opposite the bed is a 42" LCD screen... Don't you feel like a royal subject? I bet the bigger (Deluxe) suite is with a kitchen. Yea, my room is just the standard suite, so you can imagine how the deluxe suite will look like.

Ahh... the bathroom. I guess this will be the reference design for my future masteroom bathroom in my future home. Everything is luxuriously superb. I love the bathroom but unfortunately I did not soak myself in the tub cause I am just enjoying myself with other parts of the suite.

This is the middle part of the hotel where the Level 1 (ground floor) is the casino which houses 800 tables. Level 3 is the shopping arena where it houses many designer labels like Coach, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Hogan, Bally, Tiffany & Co, Armani, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss and many more. Seriously, just this hotel alone can teach you alot about desinger labels or introduce you to many reknown designer labels which might not be known to you but only to high-end fashion people. I am just a G2000, Esprit, Elle, MNG/Mango, Zara, etc fashion level and these are only middle class fashion labels. The ones I mentioned above... clothes are costing at least SGD500. I am only into SGD50-200 only... where got the money to spend so much???

Look at the ceiling. It is really Michaelangelo like. It is beautiful. Imagine every ceilings in the hotel are like that. I wonder whether it is really painted ceiling or wallpapered ceiling. If it is really painting, then the painter must have earned alot. If I am the painter or the contractor who gets this job, I am already earning my first million.

This is the "real sky" in the eating arena. It feels like I am outside but acutally we are all inside the bulding. It really feels like I am in Vienna. I have not been to Vienna but the feeling is already there in the hotel.

The gondola ride. I think this is what it is called. The guy rowing the gondola is actually singing in Italian and he has a great voice. A good singer I would say. The ride takes you around the shopping arena and then takes you out to a big man-made lake outside the hotel to admire the scenery of Macao.


And these are the jovial gondola rowers... The top-right guy is cute eh?? Not sure what is he but he is definitely ang-moh. Haha... I look like a ghost or is it the flash from the camera falls too much on my face?? Or may be I am too fair? Haha I wish... The lady beside me, I think she is a Portugal descendent and the guy behind me is a Phillippino.

Steak in Cathay Cinelesiure, Orchard Singapore


Eating steak in Cathay Cineleisure? Try eating it at Chicago Steak House.... I love the way they display their steak... Boar shape grill pan.... I love it.... Yummy..

Chicken grill is ok only... but their specialty is the steak. Comes in 3 sizes, Queen, King & ... aww I cannot remember.. but all I remember is that the biggest portion is 3 pieces of steaks (as above steak). I actually saw an "ang-moh" ordering it and OMG... pretty alot of meat to swallow... I wonder if he had a hard time passing motion??!!

WWE in Singapore

I cannot believe that I actually spent SGD150 just to watch WWE in Singapore. Not that I am a fan of wrestling. Come on... seeing someone hurting another just to gain the belt/championship title? But well, it was really an experience worth experiencing. The crowds were enjoying themselves... so did I!

The "Smack Down" stage...

The entrance...



I love this guy... Khali... very tall guy... 7 footer I think... the crowd was cheering "Khali chicken"... pretty funny when you hear it... sounded more like "Curry chicken"... haha


But in the end, Batista got the championship title... yeah...

Beautiful escalator art in Vivo City. Beautiful....

Star Cruise... I want to go for a cruise...

Yummy.... replacing Dunkin Donuts.... Vinco.... it's way much nicer than Dunkin Donut (just my opinion only...)

Yea... Sentosa view from Vivo City (on Singapore island)


Family Day for Chartered, we went for a movie in Vivo City to watch Fantastic Four.
