ok finally the photos are uploaded, though not all of them. i'll start the part 1 of my Macau trip.
flight to Macau was early in the morning @ 6am. so left for airport & stayed overnight there. when we reached the budget terminal, realised dat lotsa pple were there. but still not the time for check-in. i'm was still awake @ dat time, surprisingly, whereas ZS was KO-ed, napping
while waiting to check-in. ok i'll cut short on the sg portion. on the plane, both JC & ZS fell asleep, while i took some shots of the sky. though i couldn't see the sun rise, but still not bad.
soon alighted @ Macau Airport. took a cab to hotel. initially tot we r on the rite track, in the end to arrive @ the wrong hotel. made another turn to reach the rite hotel. haha all becos of JC, who mentioned of the wrong name. but its ok cos we had a short tour of Macau. check-in @ the hotel, but they are still preparing the room, so left the luggage @ the hotel.
we look for the destination on the map dat we got frm the airport & plan the route. we decided to take a walk to the place. took photos of the buildings along the way. but had to take note of the ground as there are lotsa "mine" planted. weather there was hot but windy, maybe becos of the geographical location of Macau, as it is near the seaside. this time round, my trip is more of a sight-seeing one. so there are lotsa photos of buildings. we had our lunch somewhere nearby & wen back to hotel to hav a short nap.
the next destination was to visit the dog race. but it was still early, so we walked around nearby. again photo taking session of the buildings. pop into 7/11 & found the lighter frm marlboro very unique. the price of it i can afford it. but i dun smoke cos in order to get the lighter, i nid 2 purchase 2 packs of marlboro cigarettes. haiz... wat to do... i jus haf to give up on it.
soon it was time for the dog race, so wen in to chk it out. to our surprise, there was not much spectators. maybe becos there is live telecast of the race on TV. we watched 2 rounds of the race & took a video of it. left the place & went to Sands for dinner. it was the buffer dinner dat ZS wanted to go.
as the buffet is located within the casino, so hav to pass-by the security checks. lotsa pple were inside of the casino. we wen up to the restaurant for the buffet dinner. we were served a very big prawn cooked with butter. tasted really yummy. the dessert that was served was of bird nest, red dates, white fungus etc. its really good cos its good for the body. i taken it as my only dessert cos i dun take dessert often. the food is really fresh, but too bad i dun take dessert cos there is lotsa of dessert there. after the dinner, we walk around in the casino. both JC & ZS played in the casino, while i jus take a look. aft dat took a shuttle to Venetian, our destination for the 3rd day. aft dat we walk back to the hotel & dats the end of 1st day.
check out the 2nd part next.
