7 Degrees in Macau

Friday, August 13th, 2010

After Stanley Waterfront, we took the ferry to Macau.. cos my cousin and aunt havent been there before.

At the immigration counter.. checkout the temperature reading.. 7 degrees!!! Woot! hahhhsahah yes it was super cold indeed as it was raining that day..

We took one of the free bus rides to Lisboa casino and walked from there to St. Paul fort.

Forgot the name of this place.. it was the beginning of the street up the hill to St. Paul.. super cold!

Along the street there are shops selling biscuits and cookies and egg tart and dried meat.. these are well known products in Macau.

We stopped by one of the shops to buy some.

I like this shot. Check out ze bokeh! Not very clear but sure they are milky and smooth.

Since it was raining when we arrived at St. Paul fort, im gonna skip the photo and show u one I took 1-2 years back.

Ok thats it.. we then went back to Hongkong.

We then started off our journey to Putrajaya! The whole trip totaled up to 80km, which means all 4 bloggers in the FREED got the chance to drive 20km each. The organisors also provided lots of snacks and drinks in the MPV for us to enjoy. BEST!

The convoy stopped at the 20km mark to exchange drivers. We then took a JUMP shot! :D:D:D:D All 4 of us were in the same car. Ewin, Rames, Ellie and me.

The fleet of 8 Honda FREEDs then resumed the journey.

There was a polaroid camera in the MPV too! That’s cos they had a contest for us to submit our most creative shots to win some prizes at the end of the day.

We finally arrived at Putrajaya. Games and some activities took place.

Prince of Persia & i-City Jump

POPCRAP 1

Went to watch Prince of Persia today at KLCC.

Great movie. The actions, costumes and scenes resembles the game a lot. Fight scenes were nail biting and I like how they elaborated the story without any rush. I rate it 8.5/10. Watch it! Eheh

POPCRAP 2

Made a trip to I-City at Shah Alam just now to see the colourful glittering lights on the trees put up in the middle of the so called intelligent city.

Here are 3 photos as preview. More will be posted in September!

Arrived at about 645pm and managed to catch the sunset.

Did the smashpOp jump there among all the colourful neon trees. Woot!
