I'm back!
I'm back from my Macau + HK trip. Overall abt the trip: Macau was nice.. but HK was bad..
We arrived in Macau on Thu Mrng, and the weather was freezing cold. The weather was 15deg C. Caught us by surprise as my research was 17 - 27deg C. The wind was blowing very strongly as we alight fr our flight. We had to wear our thin jacket to prevent us fr catching a cold. My hb spotted a gal, believed to be a singaporean, has to changed fr her short to a long pant at the airport coz it was too cold. Gtg to our hotel is easy as there are bus shuttle services. We were too early for check-in, so we took a stroll ard the Venetian Hotel. The place was big & we got lost a few times. Managed to check in at 12nn and our suite is HUGE!!!!!!! The living room is separated by the bed & the sofa corner. There are 2 TVs.. so 1 each for us.. There is a study table with printer and internet connection. But we din bring our netbook. :( The bath room is big.. 1 shower corner, 1 bath tub, 2 basins, 1 enclosed toilet bowl, 1 super huge dressing table & 2 close-up mirrors. The wardrobe consists of a ironing board & ironer too. I love the suite.. so big that i felt pampered in every corner of the room.
Afternoon, we took cab to the ruins of St. Paul where we slowly strolled thru the rest of the churchs till the Ah Ma temple. At this temple, for the 1st time, i heard & saw smoke coming out from a real fire crackers!!!! Ar!.. so loud & bcoz it was very smoky, i couldn't really c the fire crackers burning. My hb even suggest if i wan, i juz buy 1 of the fire crackers so that the temple will light for me to watch. haha! But we din buy in the end.
Evening, we met up wif Hb's colleague from Macau for a thai dinner. Food was great and we get to try 1 of the macau "raw prawn" dish. Tasted unique with their special bland of sauces...sweet & sour. As the weather was too freaking cold after the dinner, i quickly rushed into the cheapest shop in Venetian to buy myself a pair of jean at Giodano. Haha~ I cant afford all the other branded shops at Venetian, and i badly need a jean as I'm only left wif a short skirt & a kneel length pant. I will not be able to survive with such short bottoms for my next 3 days wif a 15-20 deg C temperature.
Fri took cotajets ferry to HK. Hb got subsidies rate as the cotajets is under his company's related subsi. It was less than half price per pax. Great savings on the ferry fare. Check-in at the Metropark Mongkok Hotel & begin our Big Buddha tour at Lautau Island, follow by a bus ride to Tai-O fishing village. Wanted to shop at the Tung Chung Outlet shops but HB FORCED ME TO BRING HIM EAT SEAFOOD. So travel all the way to Sai Kung to eat. It wasn't the same place as we ate last time coz we took a bus tis round. It brought us to a much more active town in Sai Kung and luckily, we spot a few seafood restaurants. Hb ordered the most expensive seafood menu, coz he paying for it. haha~ Small crabs, small prawns, small abalone, small lobsters, nice & fresh fish + vegetable. It was freezing cold again as the tables are located outside the restaurants and strong wind blowing. Although there was a huge plastic tent to shelter the wind, but we can still feel the cold and had to sit below the fire warmer... After seafood, we reached back hotel ard 11pm. No shopping. Sad!
Nxt day, we went Wang Ta Xian temple, shopping at the ladies mkt & Hua Yuan Jie when some of the shops are still setting up for the days or not yet open. Met my HK fren, Yaxin for lunch dim sum. Then we went to Peak. Freezing cold as the peak is high up the hill. After peak, we went to Toy R Us to buy Thomas & Train toys for Weilun. Wen we went back to Hua Yuan Jie at 9pm, they are closing for the day already. So no shopping again. Hb wanted to watch movie at 10, an english movie. So no further shopping coz movie ends at 12mn.
Sun, mrng breakfast at coral de cafe, and we went to buy lao po bin which opens at 10am. Next we want to do last min shoppings but none of the shops are open! Empty handled.. I din buy anything for myself in HK!!! Arrhhh.. i hate it! And i super angry wif my hb for wasting my HK trip. I wanted shopping and i got nothing from HK!
My conclusion: no more overseas trip wif HB and my son if i wan shopping!
