It's a Holi-holi-day

Hie peeps, I was so caught up with work since I got back from Hong Kong. My gawd!! So much work so little time... not even going to talk about work. I think i can go on for 2 hours babbling about it. For those of you who are wondering how i am, I'm good. Things are going well for me..

Merdeka weekend i was in Hong Kong, Zhongsan, Zhuhai & Macau with my family for 5 days 4 nights. It was a fantastic holiday! Well, in a nut shell.. i did quite a fair bit of shopping (because it's the last week of August, meaning it's the tail end of it..so there's nothing much), lotsa lotsa walking and eating..you have no idea! We had too much to eat..e.g. wantan noodles, dim sum, porridge, caramelised pork, roasted pork and goose, steamboat, seafood, famous pineapple bun, curry fishball etc etc and not forgetting desserts as well. It's all about the food baybeh..

Lunch was good especially the pigeon "Yu Kap", outstanding! beats the famous restaurant in "Sha Tin" Hong Kong flat. They did ask whether we want to try exotic food and even though food is my drive to life, "NO NO". Ugh..*shudders*.

Next destination: Zhuhai - Honestly, I'd rather not waste my time going there because there's nothing to sight-see or visit. Well, i saw an imitation Iphone that's going for RM150. Yeap that's right! RM150. I used to have one till it got stolen. Didn't spend much time in Zhuhai..we crossed the border to Macau by land. The number of ppl entering and leaving Macau is just unbelievable!! Dad said it's just walking distance to Macau. Makes perfect sense! Chinese loveto gamble. I mean in general, not all...

Gambled and did a bit of shopping in Venetian..Around 10ish we took a ferry ride back to Hong Kong. We were out for more than 12 hours! So drained out..I crashed on my bed and slept like a baby.

..Day Four & Five @ Hong Kong..
The remaining of the days we spent it leisurely..Pretty much that's it. To sum up, it's one of the most well spent and memorable holiday.
