Back here blogging after so long... Its been a long while... Lets continue with the China trip post...
Day 2
Day 2 of China Trip started with breakfast which was terrible... Breakfast was very chinese, steam cake, certain tim sum dishes, char siew baos and the best of all, plain porriage... After the very terrible breakfast, we went back down to near the underground mall, that was the China-Macau border where we crossed over to Macau, every one was decked out in semi-formal wear in order to enter the casinos later in the day... It took us nearly 2 hours to cross over into Macau due to the tons of people crossing over the border with us... And to make matters worst, out of all the 18 immigration lanes, only 1 was for non-chinese passport... After we got into Macau, we went to a very famous chinese temple... And while some of them entered the temple to pray, others found a shop selling portugese egg tart as well as other products like biscuit and dried fruits... Most of all, the shop was air conditioned and the heat outside was unbearable in our long sleeve shirts... The egg tart was very very nice and was sold out very very fast [Darling must be envious]... After that was lunch, which too, sucked...
We then proceeded to a very famous Macau site called St. Paul's Ruins where photo-taking took placed... And under the very very hot sun in our long-sleeved shirts we stood for shots after shots of group photo...
We then proceeded to the Macau Gaming Inspection Beauru for our very first industrial visit... After that, we went to Macao Sands for another industrial visit before entering the Casino to see how it looked like... Dinner followed soon after before proceeding to Macau's oldest casino, Casino Lisboa for another look-see... We then proceeded back across the border to Zhuhai for our rest...

The list of 20 items was not achieved cause i had super insufficient money and luggage space so i literally bought nothing back... HAHA... Sorry guys... But i did warn u ppl that your items had a very high chance of not being bought...
Day 1
Woke up at 3.30 in the morning... Reached airport by 4... Shir messaged me on the way down telling me which check in row to check in and i lost a bet to her... Reached the airport and collected my e-air ticket and passport from my 12 days Daddy and Mummy... Went to queue up to get to the check in row... That was a terror, the queue went from check in row 1 to beyond the centre info board... Had to go through an interview by the security peeps before being allowed to check in... They asked stupid questions like, "did anyone passed you anything"... Checking in was quite bad too as we jumped from row to row... Finally checked in together with Shir and Eileen. Luggaged weighted a whopping 17kg!!! We had to run to the gate as it was very very in... Went through East immirgation instead of west... Immigration was super fast and we ran to the gate... After that boarded the plane which took us to HK...
Reached HK, and then took a bus down to the China Ferry Terminal where we had to board a ferry to Zhuhai which took like 1 half hour to get there... Arrived at Zhuhai and went to this place to eat lunch at 3sth 4... The food sucks... After that, went back to the hotel to check in before going for Foot Reflexology, Dinner and Shopping... The underground mall at Zhuhai looked like a cross between People's Park and Level One... Saw alot of fake goods there, and bought a LV wallet for Darling which only costed like 40RMB, which is like 8 bucks sg...
After that, we walked back to the hotel to rest for the night...
