Macau & Hong Kong 2014 Part 1

finally blogging again ! 
last month was a hectic month . exams , assignments ... summer break is finally here !
but i just realised that exam results are coming out tomorrow . wtfwtf how how howwww T_T
i feel like i'm gonna pass out anytime . sigh ... 

started my summer break with a holiday getaway with the family . 
Macau , here we come ! 

Day 1 ;
waited for our flight at KLIA2 . woah the place is like a shopping mall now ! 
with restaurants and shops such as Nando's , Giordano , Baskin Robbins and etc . 

spotted Ficelle Boulangerie Patisserie . can finally satisfy my macarons craving ! hooraaayy 


breakfast at 4am ... (our flight was 6am so we had to be there by 3am . basically , i didn't get to sleep at all)


byebye Malaysiaaa !
the only bad thing about KLIA2 is that the boarding gates are really far . it took us about 30 minutes to reach our boarding gate , including customs checking and etc .




sunrise while otw . i've always loved evening and morning flights as i'll get to watch sunset or sunrise .



on plane with mom .


aloha from Macau !
forgive my uneven eyes and i only slept for 3 hours on the plane .


the weather wasn't good when we landed , it was drizzling .



spotted a super long car outside Galaxy Hotel .


w/ one of my aunts


beautiful deco inside


family ♥


 first meal at Macau !


finally checked in our hotel after lunch , Presidente Hotel .
ignore the messy bedsheets as the first thing my sis and i did was lie down on the bed :/


the hotel was quite old and filled with cigarette smell . cleaners had to help us open our windows in order to get rid of the smell .



headed out after a short rest . went to hunt a place for dinner .
spotted a random restaurant called Dee8 Restaurant . i guess the others were lazy to walk further so they've decided to eat there .

mandatory selfie



cheese baked rice with sausage .
the food here is okaaaayy i guess . nothing special . i wanted to eat something more local rather than eating in a restaurant , but ... oh well .





a few of my aunts and uncle went to casino while my family and i went for a stroll around . 
loving the night view of macau . it feels familiar with the big neon signs cause i do watch TVB dramas very often. 



Wynn Hotel 
this particular building caught my attention once i saw it . no idea why but i find it very simple and magnificent .


MGM


Hotel Lisboa


and this is our stay for the 2 nights .



picture taken in front of MGM .


gotta say it's pretty convenient to travel at Macau . there's so many casinos around so most hotels provides shuttle bus to other hotels and casinos . 

the one and only polaroid taken during this trip lol failed max 
but i like this polaroid ! credits to my dad 


Day 2 ;
mom decided to join the half day open bus tour around Macau . 
the weather was scorching hot ! like seriously very hot . 




stopped by 大三巴 for a visit .




stopped by a random cafe for lunch . the food was ... not very good .


finally reached Ruins of St. Paul .
omg the weather was so freaking hot ! people were holding umbrellas while taking picture -.- lol




spotted this 猪扒包 shop but we just had our lunch . so my mom went and tapau a few back to our hotel haha it was quite good but it was already cold when i had a bite of it . 


Macau Tower
we didn't go up but apparently there's bungee jumping and sky walking at the top of the tower . 
too chicken to even go and try bungee jumping . the tower is too tall laaahh . have to try with something much smaller first lol 





蛋饼 . bought a few boxes of this and omg it's so good !
i think until today , i finished one box lolol #dietplanfailed


after taking a short rest back at our hotel , we decided to go out and hunt for Portugese Tart .
i've done some research and apparently there's one shop near our hotel .

pretty cars at Hotel Lisboa :o


Grand Lisboa 


finally reached !
Margaret's Cafè e Nata . there were a few reviews that i found online on this cafe about the portugese tart .

and there were already a line forming right in front go the shop ...



there weren't any place to sit so we tapau back to our hotel again .
best Portugese Tart everrrrrr !! too bad that we didn't get to try their milk tea as it was sold out when we reached .


we bought two boxes of portugese tart hohoho


headed off to Venetian for a visit as many people said that Venetian is a pretty place .
dinner at Venetian's food court . there were quite a lot of choices there .


the ceiling was so pretty that i had to snap a picture of it while standing in the middle of the food court




that's Galaxy Hotel .


too bad i didn't get to enter Venetian's casino cause of my sisters . but i did enter's Wynn and also Galaxy's casino . 
it's a bit different from Genting's but i didn't really gamble or what . i would never understand those who would spend thousands and thousands of money on gambling when i can't even bear to spend RM50 .___.

panorama shot of the ever beautiful night of Macau . 


the next morning before heading over to Hong Kong .
Macau actually looks better at night than in the morning , probably because of the lightings haha


will update soon with my Hong Kong post . 
too paranoid over my results and i'm still in dilemma whether i should go back all the way to semenyih to get my results , or just wait for it online . 

sigh ... kill me . now . please T_T 
till next time !
