Day 1 (29Jun) - SIN - MACAU

My bags are packed & ready to leave! Getting a teeny bit paranoid abt the H1N1 thingy, wonder with the highly published new increase in H1N1 cases in Singapore, the issue here is “Will I be quarantined upon arriving in MACAU since I came from Singapore?”
Not so much of “Will I get quarantined when I returned to Singapore?”

Just 1 backpack, so no problem! Took the direct bus from home! Yay! I am really Leaving!!!

My flight was delayed & also changed gate. Couldn’t really hear the announcement properly cos of the renovation work going on! Weird habit of mine to buy a book enroute to a holiday destination! Excited! Bought Book to read <50facts>,rather mentally heavy stuff to read on a vacation actually. A lot of statistics & facts: for eg. “Landmines klll or maim at least 1 person every hour” – then babble on for 3-6pages on the statistics on what happened, & what should be done & can be done to improve it! Heavy material!

Well, the flight there was quite empty, my whole row was empty. I got ripped off S$6! For Water+Snacks. What happened to 1Xcomplimentary bottle of water?!

This shit cost my S$6! Argh!

Attempted to take Taxi to ! Uncle told me there’s free shuttle just behind of his cab! Haha! So I took shuttle service! I had initially thought that it ends @9pm according to website! I had reached@ 9.30pm instead of 8.50pm!

Venetian! BIG! 1st thing: Like Sistine Chapel in Italy, Rome! Thought of Mr.Tan! He would like it here-Rich Boy's Playground w all e Luxury Watch & Cloth Boutiques!


1st Attempt to shop: FAILED! Cheapo me! Everyting is SUPA EXPENSIVE (i have been warned beforehand already)! So I hold my Fire!

With 1 heavy bagpack(I weighed it at the airport – 5+kgs) + sling bag, I attempted to shopped till 10.30pm! Quick supper! Expensive! Every item is like >S$12! Can drinks @S$2.50! I dun even buy S$2.50 drinks @ foodcourts in SIN! Of cos i'll nt succumb to being ripped off in an ASIAN country!


Anyway, too much sugary stuff-i need plain water! Settled for a MOP$39(~S$8) Prawn dumpling soup noodle! Left & topo to Starbucks. Spent MOP$37(~S$7) Ice Chocolate drink & sat to wait for KT-time now 11.30pm.

KT came @ 1.15am as arranged! Cant believe, FINALLY I get to see her in MACAU!

KT's place better than expected-2bedrm aptm,Aircon in all rms&living,Heater,Fridge,Wash9 machine. Made me envy her independent lifestyle! I wana be an expatriate too! We had abit of girly talk before konking out @3.30am, she has to work tmr lah!
