Macau, Here We Come!

Macau Day 1 | 28 April 2011

The Lims had another fantabulous holiday back in end April to Macau and HK. Andy planned for almost everything. There were 4 of us, my niece–Kelly, my inlaws and inlaws' 8 more friends flying together. Yep, total 15 of us flying together.

Holiday started from the early flight with Tiger Airways to Macau.
It was mere 6am in the morning,
and Chloe was too excited about the whole trip!


At the stroller, in the cabin.


Work was crazy and I barely slept for 2 hours the night before.


Reached Macau Int'l Airport 3 hour and 40 minutes later,
and the kids were busy navigating around with the map...


Didn't manage to check-in to the hotel yet,
so we strolled out right after our lunch.

First stop, Fisherman's Wharf. Sadly, it was deserted and clearly over-rated..
Weather was pretty cooling though..


One thing we really loved about Macau was the free bus services from one casino to the other. So, we moved on to The Venetian soon after...

Andy and the inlaws were soon nowhere to be found (kidding!)
Well, the casino were clearly tempting... That place resembles a lot like Genting Highlands, a bigger and more elegant one of course!

I took a break with the children at Starbucks,
thankfully it was big and spacious enough for Bosco to roam around!


Checking his sleeping jie jie!


"OK, checked! Chloe jie jie is sleeping...
So, does that mean that we can get to have more share of that pie?"


The superb char-siew-pie served only in Macau... I think!

Next, more on The Venetian and our duck dinner..

Medan in March | When The Lights Went Out

6th day in Medan

It was our 2nd last day and we so lucky that we only started to experience the 'no-electricity-night' during this trip. We had a so-so dinner at Duck King. That place was clearly over-rated. Nothing came close like Taipan. Pui!

But the company still counts!! :)
Kids: Alvin, Jaze, Chloe and Bosco


One of the few family shots


non stop eating~~


hanging out at J W Marriott Medan for free aircon
while waiting for the electricity to resume
