wow, i have so much to write today.well basically, xing yee arrived at 11 today and i got her from the hong kong airport express station and we took a bus back from there to my hall where viginia signed her in for two nights..virg has been a blessing, she helped us to cook vege , steam the deumplings and the mee for us so that we can have lunch fast and set off to macau together. it was nice. so we set off for macau with virgina, ricky(her bf) and met andrew and mun, their colleages at the macau ferry terminal which is 10 mins away from my hall. Then here comes the first blessing. We went to buy tickets, ready to pay , only realising that mun had 4 complimentary tickets he won thru something and he was giving two to us. So great, we saved $150hkd. gosh, thats a lot. We only had to pay for the one way ticket back..yeah.. then when we got into macau.. we had a perfect tourguide.. xy and i were totally pampered! lazy travellers who hadnt read up on the tour and just blindly followed.. and guess what, we had the most relaxing trip ever. we weren;t rushing for time and mun was super nice.. he made sure he brought us to where we wanted to go and i had been craving for egg tarts and so he ran all over and got me 6 and guess what, he treated again. yeah.. so we went to yaohan which is big but all too ex! so we moved on to the hotel that virg and her bf had booked for a night and guess what , they only paid s$75 for a 5 star hotel, big suite!so we rested there for a while and moved down to the casino , themed with greek mythology. We watched the gamblers, losing and winning and going crazy..i've always liked to play jackpot on my phone and it was only $2hkd to play the real machine so i gaeve it a shot and after two rounds, i won $4 which recivered my losses but wa stupid to lose it again. well, really JUST FOR FUN. and then they had this stage show with scantily clad girls dancing..and it was ok but i guess it was the wrong crowd.. when macau is a gambling den in itself, all casinos gotta come up with perks to draw people there so for this one, it was te show and free orange juice drinks! yeah and the we left to go to the macau tower. I really wanted to skywalk, 313 meters above air without handles but it was $190hkd and it will take 2 hours so gave it some thot and abandoned the idea. quite sad cos singapore promotes macau with the macau tower. but at least i got a look at it etc.. they are going to have a bungy jump from the tower soon. really nice. then we proceeded to the tourist area in taipa. And there we saw may shops and great protugese architecture.. musuems and the famous one wall church... then it turned dark so we went to buy some cookies and settled at aa protugese restaurant.. awesome awesome food! gosh.. from what i can remember, the portugese chicken curry, sotong in cheese and egg roll and potato, spare ribs, prawns in cheese, fried rice with roe, yummy mixed vegetables!all for $65hkd. yeah thereafter, we went to watch the dog race! ahhah so funny.. it was $10hkd entry but we could use that to bet on one dog so xy and i played for fun and then i bet first on this dog, no 5, it was a black dog which we thought was all ready to race but to our disappointment, it came in last! then xing yee anyhow chose her most hated no 4 and when we saw the dog, she shook her head cos it was too scrawny.. well, it didnt win neither did it come in last and it shitted right before the race. i thot that was hilarious. and on that same race, there was a seventh dog! and it was in purple clothes! gosh, i wish i didnt throw my token on the last race.. so nice, purple clothed dog.. it was really nice and thrilling watching dogs race...hahah..well after that, we all got a bus back to the macau ferry terminal back to hk and xy and i had good seats! we really felt like we were on an airplane. sigh, gotta have that feeling soon in june. Also, my friend jessica came down at 8pm and my friend signed her into my hall and we met her at the mtr station and we took the ding ding to eat supper at sai wan! delicious.. but i could we could put in more if we were more hungry. so after that we walked for quite a bit then decided to cab home..when we got back, my floormates celebrated my "master"s, Yan's bday and ivy and vani's bday..and they invited my friends to join them. they were real nice to them.. and hospitality was amazing. yeah then the girls bathed and looked at pics and then we played the "guess how much i bought this for" game and they were trying to shut me off! ahah.. oh the last blessing. Weiyi sint coming back to hall today and because of that, both my friends can take her room cos viv's gone to shanghai too! haha.. amazing. at least they dun have to put up with the noise i make at night. finally, one great day. tomo's a new day and i DO REALLY NEED TO STUDY.
