Holiday trip
Finally i'm back...
Had mixed feelings for this trip...
Initially it was relaxing and very enjoyable...
But in the end there are people who just make it so hard for you to enjoy the trip thoroughly...
................................................................................................
To start off, we went Macau for a 3 day 2 night stay in the newest hotel there called "Venetian".
The hotel was designed like what you would see in Venice, with canals surrounding the shopping malls that can ferry you to the other end. What's more, there are also entertainers such as clowns and musicians and singers walking around entertaining you...Though i'm not sure if that is exactly what you would see in Venice...pretty weird to shop halfway and have a clown come up to you and juggle balls in front of you suddenly...
The rooms there are all suites, very very big rooms with 42 ince LCD TVs and 2 queen sized beds...Each suite cost about S$3000...wow...with that amount of money i can stay in a normal hotel for 1 month...
The casino, well...i actually won quite alot from the jackpot machines but i lost more on roulette, which equates to a negative turnover...haiz...sianz...and to think william ask me to win back one casino...one chip also dun have how to win? Haha, but then i did not lose much la...because i was very stingy with my money on the gambling table...
Went on half day tour around the country and found that there are roughly 24 casinos in the whole country!!! Everywhere you walk, you can see at least one casino building...No wonder they call the country the Asian Las Vegas...
If i can afford it, i would want to go back to the same hotel...for the suites...and er...for the casino as well...heh...
...............................................................................................
Hong Kong was a different story for me though in that my turnover was confirm negative...Haha...
Bought a few jeans from Marks and Spencer as they were having sale, of which two jeans i brought cost a total of only 40 sing dollars!!!
Went back to Yung Kee because i can never forget how fantastic the roasted goose tastes...
We also had a half day tour around the city area touring sites which i will never go back to again...Places like Aberdeen and Stanley Market, with the latter a much expensive option when compared to Temple Street or Ladies Street...
There was already some unhappiness due to the cost of the tours that one of my family member act smart go and book...Those who know me well will know who i am talking about...That person is the only person whom i think epitomises the act of stupdity the best...
But i was quite glad to meet jeff at Ladies street, he was complaining about living conditions in New Territories and i was laughing at him...haha...typical G-6 behavior...
During my meeting with jeff, I finally got to try out the fabled stinky tofu, of chou dou fu in chinese...They say that it tastes the best in Hong Kong...Well...i can only say i was quite disappointed with it as the tofu tastes like...well...tofu...and there is not much taste in it except...well...tofu...the smell of the interior of the tofu is similar to that of the exterior though - they both smell like shit...don't ask me why i wanna try it...and i don eat shit...If you want a evidence of me eating the stinky tofu, get from jeff, he took a photo of me eating it...
The highlight of the whole hong kong trip was a trip down to Tung Chung, which is not only very close to the airport, but also the place where you can take cable car to Da Yu Shan to see the very big Buddha Statue...But this time i did not take cable car...we went to the mall directly outside the MTR station to shop on recommendation from jeff...
The mall is really fantastic in the sense that every shop is a fashion factory outlet (Polo, nautica, adidas, nike, esprit etc...)!!! The items are very cheap, at more than 50% discounted price, and the quality of the items are also very good unlike the normal factory outlet. But nike and adidas factory outlet was a disappointment, their stuffs are like so outdated that i can find t-shirts dating back to 1990s!!! Those who like basketball will remember the Charles Barkley vs Godzilla shirt...Yup...they have those there...real antique...
..............................................................................................
Overall the trip should be quite satisfying for me, but there are people who tend to not keep their mouth shut or even turn their brains on to think of what they should say before opening their mouths such that they spoil your whole day...
I do not care if other people say i have lack of respect for that person. I do not care. I repeat, i do not care. Especially when that person does not respect my father. I would have given her one tight slap if not for being at the airport...In the end i can only settle for some harsh words on her...
And i also do not care if some others, including the stupid one, say i have lack of respect for that person. Because i would have scolded these people as well if not for the fact that i still have a sense of mind...
I already do not mind if they give rude looks or attitude problem even though its not directed at me...although i would gladly slap them...I also do not mind the immense stupidity of others...But i do mind when my whole holiday was spoilt by these people mumbling about life's unfairness and the like everyday and not showing respect...In the end, its only karma they deserve, and i do not show them respect as well...They deserve it...I do not regret my actions and i would repeat it again if time were to rewind...
.............................................................................................
A whole holiday ruined by these people...crap...
Photos will be uploaded soon...i think...
