We did asked the info regarding for this one day trip, luckily the hotel have this arrangement but the tour guard will introducing in English. We got no choice as we don’t want to waste money to search around.
Went downstairs then we found the trip was starting at 9:30am, we paid for MOP$200.00 each. The hotel arrange us to went with the free bus to HK-Macau ferry, then they will someone to find us there. The travel agent quickly found us, and brought us to join the group, then we found 95% of our group was European.
We started our journey at around 10:00am.
The first thing to visit was the Golden Lotus which created when Macau was went back to China. Lotus is Macau represent flower.
Second place to visit is the MUST visit tourist place, the Dai Shan Ba, only left a front side of a very old church. Crowded people. I ate the famous “egg ta” cost MOP$7.00 each, quite expensive, as it cost about B$1.50 each.
The tour guide point us the small temple locate at the right side of the Dai Shan Ba. We visit the very small Jesus related museum and the bone placed museum. I forgot what these bone belong to.
I shoot several photos in different direct, side, up and down. Some view is quite nice.
Eng try to buy some gift which can represent Macau, the key chance is the best thing to buy. 4 key chance cost MOP35.00 and Eng only paid MOP30.00.
Time up, then we found we were the last two person to enter the bus. Oh, yes, the whole group have 29 people. Asian people only Eng and me and a Philippines family with kids.
After this trip, it was lunch time, buffet which included on this trip. What a surprise to us. Good buffet which have eastern and western good. We also have the special dish which can select fish or pork. Very good meal and it really full, too full.
The compassion Buddha- Guang Yin was the next destination. Hot sunny day.
There were several people left us when we arrived the very old Maco temple, only left 9~10 of us. We visited the fishing related museum which requited ticket, also included on this trip. The Maco temple. As it was too hot, Eng don’t want to climb up there, I just went up there to took some photos. The top small temple is GuangYin temple, very small. I took the photo and went down.
Watching the tourists buy gifts, quite impolite. When lower down the price then the shop owner said he don’t want to sell, so proud!
Macau Tower was the next visit place. Very good place to visit, not so many people, there was a interesting part was you can step of the glass which you can view outside. Got what I mean, never mind, I got the photo to show you. This floor is at 58 floor, then we use the left to went up to 61 floor, the top floor which you can do the jumps and sky walk. You have to paid for the jump and walk. You can walk from outside of the tower, there is a path for you to walk, sure that you have the safety wear on your shoulder.

2nd day in Macau 23rd April 2006
23rd of April morning at 7:00pm, we still in Macau airport. As we felt quite cold, so we waked up and went to see around the airport, do so exploration. Arriving hall have nothing, although we found a money charger which just open when we arrived, now was closed. A near by hotel but I think it will quite expensive. Hotel just outside the airport. Then we went to departure hall, use the left to go upstairs, very easy. No much thing, saw few travelers, a traveler just sleeping. We found a good place for us to sleep when we on the way back, not sleep now. At about 8:00pm something, we decided to leave the airport as Eng did saw some taxi appeared.
I cashed out MOP$1,000.00(B$200~B$250) direct from the HSBC ATM machine, easy and convenient.
It was so fast to arrived New Century Hotel, about 10 minutes. Charge MOP$33.00(about B$7.30).
We cannot checked in yet as the checked in time is at 2:00pm in the afternoon, but we can store our luggage free. We just walked out the hotel and search for something to eat, Eng saw the “Tim Sam” shop, we went in and went direct upstairs as the ground floor was full. We don’t know how to order, a women just asked us what tea we want, Eng ordered it. Finally eng asked me to went down stairs to get something to eat. I order quite a lot, very nice and luxury breakfast, a bit oily. Too full and we cannot ate all the Tim Sam. Cost MOP$44(about B$9.70).
We walked around, nothing to see, just took some city building, no shop was open as I think it’s quite early but it was about 9:20am already. May be that day was Sunday. We changed our directly to another road, still no shop is open. So we have to walked back to Hotel for a rest. Eng found a place named “Kun Ye” street, so at about 11:30 noon, we called a taxi to go there. The taxi driver was so rude, just ask us to say when we want to go when I try to point out the map. He mentioned he also don’t know where it was.
The building.
Macau street.
Finally we found the street name and told him, he drove so rude to the place. Luckily the charge was quite cheap, MOP$13.00(about B$2.80). Then we finally found the good place for tourist, the special street with all the small shop, I forget to took photos on these street. Clean and tidy. Eng want to buy a pan which cost MOP$99.00 for two, but cannot test, so she refused to buy. We walked through the street and exploring some old small street and houses. Road only for people to walk, not for car. Waling inside the small street and finally walked out from the small street, we arrived back to the main street. Then we found lot of good restaurant and lot of nice dishes to select. Finally we select once and went inside to have our lunch, it’s right time for much, 12 noon.
We still walked around after the lunch, found one small temple and some Portuguese houses. One house also became a restaurant.
We also found the famous cookies shop. We decided we will bought some from here before we left Macau. We backed to hotel at around 2:00pm, right time to checked in. Checked in was easy as we booked in Brunei. This hotel cost B$105.00 per night. We will stayed two nights on this hotel.
We just want to have the shower after not shower for one whole day!
After the shower, we felt tired, watched TV and fall to sleep.
We have our dinner at near by restaurant. I ordered the web style fly noodle, but it was not what I want. Never mind, it was still delicious. Cost MOP$22.00.
We just went back to hotel after the dinner as I think we really felt so tired after not really rest for one whole day.
Eng slept until 8:20am, Eng will never be like that as may be she was so tired. I cannot slept very well as I always wake up to the toilet very frequently.
We will joined the one day Macau trip at 9:30am today.

Last Day in Macau 28th ~ 29th April
We have to check out today 28th April as we only stayed one night, and our flight was on the second earlier morning at 2:45am 29th. We did plan go to GongMen, the gate between Macau and China, and it cost free travel there as our hotel have a free bus go there. I really have a good sleep that day on 27th, but found it was raining and raining, non stop raining, so we cancelled our plan go to GongMen. Just stayed at the hotel until I really felt hungry. So I asked Eng whether she want to go breakfast or not. She agreed. So she got her umbrella, and I wear her rain coat style jacket which also have a hate(is with the jacket). The rain was quite big, but we still keep going, just stop by on the very first restaurant(Macau and HK called tea restaurant, mean not so big restaurant). Went in and order the simple breakfast, I got the Maggic style noodle with vegetable, Eng got the normal noodle(which I want order) with fish cake. Good taste anyway. Thinking to have the second breakfast with the normal noodle, but finally decided not to have that. Back to hotel, it’s still raining, but became small already.
I went to washroom. Just watching TV, and sleep. Drinking, I cannot drink anymore, feel stomach full of water. Eng keep drinking green tea, watching TV. We checked out at 12:45 noon which I did checked with the front desk that we can late checked out. We still store our big luggage, even Eng and my small bag also put for the hotel to store, free of charge.
We going no where, just sit on the lobby chair, when my eyes starting to closed, the security touch me and don’t want to let me sleep at lobby, I still can sit there with eyes open. At 1 something, we have our lunch. We arrived restaurant at 1:30pm, we order the longer cooked dish, clay pot rice. Mine one was fish clay pot rice, Eng was “frog” clay pot rice. We have to wait half a hour to get the dishes. Never mind, we have plenty of time to waste. So after finished the lunch, it was about 3:00pm. Then we planned go to Macau downtown with the hotel free bus, as we knew there is a New Yahoo department store there. The bus arrived the HK-Macau harbor, We just went upstart toward our destination. We spent 2 hour plus on this department store. I really felt so sleepy doing this window shopping. Eng bought 3 shirts and a shirt cleaner. Went back to hotel at around 5 something. Still sit on the luxury sofa chair at hotel lobby.
We have our dinner at 8:00pm. Not a good restaurant, it was huge dish, the taste is not VERY good, just okay. Not what we expected, but cheap, MOP$18.00. Normal dish should be at MOP$22.00. Both of us cannot fished the dishes although we sharing the dishes. (MOP is Macau dollar unit, same as HK dollar, B$1.00=about HK$4.6)
After went back to hotel, we sit a while. Then we decided went to airport as we got nothing to do on the hotel anymore. So we took back our luggage, called a taxi and toward airport. I think it was about 9:00pm something. Taxi cost MOP$26.00(if I am not wrong, from airport to Hotel is MOP$33.00). I found there was so many flight fly to China, Taiwan and even Korea. Korea flight was just earlier then us, at 2:05am.

Macau HK trip - first day
I have to recalled everything on this traveling.
As I have been sick 2 days before traveling. The main problem was cannot sleep well at night, feeling that my mind was not sleeping whole night. Went to Miri for visiting doctor but this time cannot help, still cannot sleep well. Thinking that should I went to this trip or not. Another thinking coming up, as I paid the air ticket, 6 days hotels. So I must go. Wake up at 6:30am, head was heaving, not feeling well, still can go, I think.
So after prepared everything, I went to Eng’s house at 6:30am, she was not in. Ask upstairs then I knew they went out. They backed then I knew they have breakfast with brother Xing.
We starting our journey at 7 something. When we arrived Brunei Immigration, she chopped Eng and mine CI, then she passed back Liang CI saying that she need the reentry visa.
So we have to rush back to Seria, Eng called back to home, Rose answering. May be she didn’t heared properly. When we arrived home, the one who suppose to fetch us to Miri was out and Rose was also not in.
Eng called Xing to fetch, he agreed.
Then Kok who suppose to fetch us was back. We finally came to catch our flight on time then we manage to have a simple breakfast at the airport.
Arrived Kuala Lumpur LCCT(Low Cost Carrier Terminal) was 12:30noon, this terminal is simple. The good thing is they have 2 24 hour restaurant, one is McDonald, and another one is Asian Food center. Quite big and not enough chair for traveler to sit, and the chair is not good for sleeping. I only ordered one Chicken rice (RM$12.90), and a vegetable burger from McDonald(RM$7 something if I am not wrong).
LCCT Terminal
Then a long wait. We have to wait until 7:30pm to check in. For you information LCCT terminal checked in time, for international is 3 hours before, for domestic is 2 hour before.
So we just keep sit on the chair, we found a good chair which belong to Asian Food center. Eng keep buy the drinking water, and drink all of them, I bought a few bottle only. 500 ml cost RM$1.50, reasonable price.
We sit here from 1:00pm to 6:30pm.
After we finished our dinner at McDonald, we checked in to the departure gate. Same chair, we wait until 10:30pm, on time fly to Macau and arrived Macau earlier at 2:30am.
We just went to do our visa, just on the left of the main hall. It took half a hour for us to do the visa, cost MOP$100.00, I already prepared HK$500.00.
We knew that we will stayed at the airport until morning. We found a good place to sleep, I think I only sleep for 1 hour, other time was laying there only. Very cold airport.

BMobile not recognise Samsung 3G phone
My friend bought a 3G Samsung mobile phone in Bandar, she try to buy a 3G line at BMobile, the staff try to load the simm card into the phone, testing and said the phone is NOT a 3G phone! Mention to her that she cannot return back the simm card then may be she can sell the simm card to her friend. She spend a 3G phone that cannot be use as a 3G phone, so you can imagine how angry she is, so where we can complain regarding these thing? To Samsung and complain that their 3G phone cannot fix to our 3G line! May be it is a good idea.
