Super duper tiring day… Went to Macau with the SMU, NUS and Katie. Took an hour ferry ride from Sheung Wan Ferry Terminal in HK to Macau Ferry Terminal. Thank God, I didn’t suffer any motion sickness or hangover from this trip. Perfectly healthy, brought thicker clothing to keep myself warmth too.

Visited a few tourist attractions place, and bought some Macau “tu chang”.

Had a revelation after this Macau trip… how does the term “ugly Singaporean” came about? Oh well.. I don’t think Singaporeans are impolite when they are oversea, but rather sometimes under certain circumstances, you have no choice but to perform unglamorous actions. I personally experienced it.

Experience #1
People pushing you because you are blocking their way. They don’t say “excuse me” or “借过”.. zzzz…
Remedy: Nothing you can do. =(

Experience #2
Someone snatched the taxi even though you are the one who flagged it down.
Remedy: run fast enough to get into the taxi first. =p
(Ps: This is not a “kiasu” act, but rather a way to ensure that you won’t have to wait for another 20mins to eventually get a cab.)

Visited the casino too. Spend SGD$4 to play the jackpot. Well… The casino there is definitely much better than the one in Genting. At least the place is not smoky. =) Last comment about Macau, unless you are a gambler, else visit the place once will be enough.

Yeah! Joycelyn was back in HK on Thursday morning. Ho hoo!
We had our Singaporean “Lou Hei” at my hall in the evening. It was actually not as tedious as I thought to prepare the lou hei. Bought some fruits, carrots, raddish, cucumber, salmon, cups, champaign, disposable chopstick and steal cardboards from the supermarket. Peel and shreds the vegetables, and ta ta.. the lou hei is done!

The atmosphere builds up at around 8pm when everyone (NUS, SMU and the locals) gathered around the table to lou the yu sheng. At last, I experience something so “Singaporean”. Lol!

As usual, it was a mess…
