[HKG Holiday] A day trip to Macau

After an hour, we arrived in Macau. Having done no research on how to get around, we stumbled upon a free way of traveling!


Macau is the world’s largest gambling centre, with several massive casinos just like those in Las Vegas. There is a bus station right next to the ferry terminal with free shuttles heading to all of the different casinos. 


I took the shuttle bus to The Venetian Macao. We were impressed by the hotel setting and we took many random photos









We had our lunch at The Parisian Macao, as we made use of the dining vouchers which were given to us upon reaching the Macau Ferry Terminal. 


We settled at Taste Yue, and we enjoyed our lunch very much. Although the damage was hefty, the delicious food made up for it! 





The scene that was filmed in the Korean Drama - Boys over Flowers was located at the Sands Shoppes. 


Baby and I decided to try and see if Lady Luck was with us by visiting the casino located at the Venetian Macao. Happily for us, Lady Luck was indeed smiling and we won a total of HKD560 from playing Black Jack and from pulling a few levers from the Jackpot machine!


We had our dinner in Macau before heading back to Hong Kong.


Macau is a great place for a day trip from Hong Kong. With frequent, fast ferries, it’s easy. Next time, I’d like to stay overnight in Macau so I can see even more, rather than just doing a day trip to Macau from Hong Kong.

Preview screening of Planes

 Thanks Claressa for asking me along to join her for the preview screening of Planes at GV VivoCity.   --- Posters of Planes ---         I was thinking to myself during the show, has PIXAR run out of ideas to make a movie? This movie has all the hallmarks of a standard PIXAR movie, such as Cars/Wall-E/Toy Story, with the looks and graphics being the same.     The movie, Planes is a carbon copy of 'Cars' with both the films logo being similar. Oh well, seems like a rip off to me!       The film focuses on Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook), an ambitious crop-dusting plane that predictably spends his days flying over tall grass spraying fertilizer. His dream is to become a racing plane, soaring high and racing around the world.   Though he is built not for flying this capacity but his biggest drawback is that he is afraid of height, as he gets used to flying at low heights.   Skipper Riley (voiced by Stacy Keach) i

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products.
