Hong Kong Trip - Day 2

JE said she wanna follow us for the Macau one day trip. Well, we are fine cos Macau is a day planning & we dun shop in hk anyway....
We ate breakfast in Macdonald instead of Maxim fast food nxt to it....oh.....=I

Mac breakfast is cheaper lah compared to sg. Mama asked us to buy ferry tickets first as she wan us to pay for JE...when we bought & finally meet my parents, they actually said they already bought the ferry tickets cos' theirs are senior pricing. You can imagine how black our faces turned.....it's not cheap!! nearly 40 sgd & the heart nearly stopped just to throw it away since we can't resell/refund. In the end, they said they are kidding with us. IT'S NOT FUNNY. But i'm relieved that our $$ din go to drain in the end.

When we reached Macau, we headed to the newest casino - Venetian Macau Casino. Din know it's world’s biggest casino, bigger than the one in Vegas until i saw the documentary juz now on SCV. The effort & time consuming on building this casino had really amazed me. If i had seen this show b4 gg HK, i guess i would took more pics on the building details & the sculpture. Din try the toilet there oso....geez....



Hotel lobby of the Venetian.


The free shuttle bus - There are many representatives whom holds cardboard to attract visitors to go their respective casinos & direct you to their shuttle bus!


More shocking to see giant Jay's board in the hotel lobby! Jay holding concert in 5 Apr 08 @ Venetian!!



Should spent more time observing & taking shots. The amazing sky we being discussing is not wallpaper....according to the documentary show.....the clouds are sprayed on manually!!



Artificial lake but real boat & people and there is singing for the couples on the boat...muz be exp i guess....no wonder the lady so happy.



Glance to the interior of casino....grand desho....

After losing $$ in Venetian, my ma & I finally admit defeat to this place & we just dun have luck in any of the slot machines, as compared to my sis. We went for a seafood restuarant nearby to settle our dinner. And JE suggested to go the next Casino, Lisboa.



Casino Lisboa - oldest casino



Grand Lisboa, newer one, extension of casino lisboa. Look like pineapple to me....

Actually, this is an eye-opening experience for me cos' i thought genting casino is big enough but when i went to these casino in Macau, they are really grand and the neon lights & building bring life to the casino business. I hope sg upcoming casino can be good looking as well....

After these few casino encounter, thinking that we can proceed to the Macau attractions but we didn't. Arrgghh.....disappointed cos we wanted to eat tarts, pork buns, few shots of the Macau building!

We returned the ferry terminal at 830pm and realised the return tickets sold out until 1110pm! Oh man, 3 hrs to go, i wan to go to town....JE bluffed us again that we can go check in @ 9pm so we abandoned the thoughts again. When we went in, JE asked me to go counter A & took my sis & ma off to other places. I wonder y....later then i realised that we all are actullay Q for the back-up with diff timing, diff counter back-up lines, where empty seats will be given for those whom din turn up.


The chances are slim loh....i mean, out of the Q only abt 5 to 10 tickets are allowed for back-up & i dunno y we need to rush here & there to the next timing Q juz to get back to HK. We bought 1110pm ticket anyway...3 hrs spent juz to join the Q & in the end, we Q until our ferry time gate is actually open for us to go in. Cold right? Time is really wasted again. Reached hotel ard 130am with tiring soul & body.

-stay tuned for the next few days HK trip....
