illegal immigrants
December 8, 2008
were planning to go to shenzhen 2 days back - saturday. but had some issues with our visas and i super felt like some bangla la. hk officers were nice though, with their uniform and everything, escorting us here and there. still - like refugees and immigrants man.
we were excited la, we were so excited.
there's a direct MTR trip to shenzhen customs which costs us like HKD70 itself.
still happy happy take the picture of the shenzhen sign.
end up cannot go, some visa probs. we had to leave the country then come back again, to reactivate our visas.
the only (and cheapest) option was Macau. so Macau it was.
macdonalds cost us another bomb, HKD50?
then bought those crackers thingy - rolls with pork floss. jiahui's gonna get me more of those when she comes via Macau in jan.
anyway i did not ever ever expect ferry from hk to macau to be sooo ex either! HKD300 eh.
and it was so impromptu. wanted to spend some money in shenzhen to shop eh.
end up spending on this shittybong things.
can't rem, i think this was our train trip, hopeful trip of entering sz.
so much nicer than our normal MTRs la.
But filled with such, typical, mickey mouses.
No pictures taken in between trying to get into shenzhen and getting into macau.
think i was too traumatised by the officers and others.
so this was the HKD300 ferry I took to get into Macau.
Their seats are nice laaa. Like first class man. But there're higher rankings like Deluxe or whatever one. Coolio.
was almost 5 by the time we got there. sun was almost setting.
Then we randomly hopped on any free shuttle buses. Still thought i "tan dio" got free ride la. Actually almost all the buses at the ferry terminal are free shuttle buses into the city. Haha.
This bridge nice man. Super long and it goes up and down in the middle for ferries to pass by below.
This was our random destination.
it's supposed to look this grand la.
They had this clear blue sky theme thing going on in there.
And they have these! It's called the Gondola Ride, right smack in the middle of the hotel man.
Darn cool.
With bridges and everything.
They had a Singapore stall in their foodcourt too. But we gave it a miss.
Then i had my first step into a real casino man. Above 18 can go in already. WAH.
HUGE la! Eye opener. And i totally did NOT understand anyyyy of the games.
I think i wouldn't even have known if i was staring down a Poker table.
OMG i need someone to educate me on the proper procedures man.
If not next time if i go gamble, i think i would have to change its name to Charity.
proof i was really there! haha.
was like a room with no end. serious.
Ya back to random stuff.
This is actually their ceiling eh. damn nice. make me crane my neck for so long.
Jermaine and I took pictures with trees similar to these. It's all with her now, the photos of us. And i'm not intending to ask her about it yet cos we're in a lil' small cold war again. I did not make it official, still being nice and disregarding the negativity i feel about the way she is - discovered through the way she said something this morning. She knows i'm unhappy but i'm just brushing it off. Don't wanna start another dispute again. Not again. Not gonna begin with me. Lunch in an hour. I'm not gonna start anything. Not gonna.
ANYWAY. i'm proud to announce. Since I've come to HK, I've become a reader! HAHA.
First one, borrowed from boss's girlfriend.
Second one, same author. Also borrowed from her.
So nice! the second one made me cry eh. like reallyyyy tears-down-the-face cry.
The first one made me tear in the eyes only. The second one. Seriously.
Not gonna make a book review though. Just really nice and I never thought i'd like a book on afghanistan people that much.
Just finished the Second book this morning. Rushed it through since last friday because?!!!
I don't like following the craze, usually I go do stuff when the heat is over. But.. I heard of the book Twilight via Paramore!
Paramore - DECODE (on repeat now)
I think Hayley Williams added to the spur, and i just had to read the book.
HKD104 for this version and HKD76 for the movie version.
I bought the HKD104 one cos the movie version looked a lil' childish. Haha.
Officially the second novel that I've ever purchased in my life.
The movie will be watched only after I finish the book (:
The lead actress is from Panic Room man. Gosh how fast can a girl grow. I was just loading Panic Room for jermaine and i the other weekend..
Boss back at work tomorrow!!
