19.09.2009 - Day 1 - MACAU

3.00am - Good morning everybody.

Derek Law, My Nephew at LCCT at 4.30am. This was his first time to take aeroplane, therefore he was so excited. He woke up at 2.00am today!

Macau, here we come!

1st stop - Of course Ruin of St. Paul's (大三巴牌坊)

Ruin of St. Paul's from the back

My two sisters, derek & me - Cheers!

We proceed to Museum of Macau.

See, Derek is "firing" the canon.

View from "Canon Hill" - Hallo Macau, can you hear me calling u??

We had our buffet lunch at one of the restaurant located at Fisherman's wharf (渔人码头). After that, we walked around.

And then we were brought to visit Kun Iam Statue (海观音)

The tour guard told us that this Kun Iam is so skinny and her body jusk look like a coconut tree. What do you think?

The trip continued to Ama Temple (妈阁庙)
Derek & the wishing ball.

Of course we prayed there.

After praying, we visited to Venetian Hotel & Casino (威尼斯人酒店与赌场)

Look at the sky, can you believe that it is actually a fake sky??

The sky look so real and the building there are so "EUROPEAN"!

Gondola - We were at Venice now!

When you come to Macau, the 1st food that you MUST eat is of course, the EGG TART!

See, Derek is trying to "sell" his tart to us! :D

But I think that the tart at Macau is too sweet!

7.00pm-It's dinner time. We had our dinner at one of the local restaurant.

Derek is waiting for his food.

One of the reason why we picked this restaurant for dinner is because it sell "PORK BURGER" (猪扒包)

Sphagetti with pork chop

As we woke up at 2.15am this morning to catch 6.30am flight, we were actually exhasuted. Therefore, we back to hotel to have our rest as soon as finished our dinner.

I couldn't believe that I slept at 7.30pm that night!!

Good night Macau.

Hallo Hong Kong, I am coming to visit you tomorrow!

NAILS IN THE FENCE

Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.

(Most importantly the last sentence)

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger , the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.

He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. But It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Remember that friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.'

YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!

Please forgive me if I have ever left a 'hole' in your fence!!

My New Baby

I am introducing my new "baby" to you guys.

This is my new "baby".

Its name is Nokia N97.

It cost me RM2,500++ to get it "delivered".

Cool huh??

Restoran Windmill

Was having dinner with a friend at Restoran Windmill, Bandar Baru Klang on 15 July 2009.

Trying to share the experience with you guys. Just spend few minutes to take a look on it.

From the outlook, I am sure you can tell why the restoran name is called RESTORAN WINDMILL, cann't you?

The atmosphere inside is just damn great and romantic. But too bad, I was using a low rex camera, so you can't really feel the feeling. :(

Let's have a look on the foods.

Appertizer 1 - Bread with butter

Appertizer no 2 : Soup of the day, Mushroom soup

Appertizer no 3 : Shrimp salad

After appertizer, of course come to the MAIN COURSE. You can choose either to have this

1) Fish & Chips

OR this

2) 1/2 spring chicken

OR this

3) Kebab combo

After the main course we were served with dessert.


Coffee (My favourite, yummy)

and

Ice-cream

The whole course cost RM34.40/set.

For me, I feel that the food there is just so so only, not much special. But the environment there helps to add some point to the food and make the food more tasty.

What's inside your head after viewing this? Come, let's go for another round. But, if you want to date me, please "reserve in advance" ya. :D

Coffee confidential-品味咖啡

To all coffee lovers, stay tune at Astro Wa Lai Toi , channel 311 every Sunday 9.00 - 9.30pm for the TV serie "Coffee confidential", <品味咖啡> hosted by Moses Chan, 陈豪.

The frist episode was about "Kopi Luwak". Now only I know that this coffee is damn expensive. But, as a coffee lover, one day, i must try this, at least once in my whole life!

P/S : Can anyone tell me where can i have Kopi Luwak in Malaysia?

麝貓咖啡(KOPI LUWAK)

麝貓咖啡(KOPI LUWAK)屬於印尼國寶級咖啡，每杯麝貓咖啡都帶有証書，不愧是全球身價最貴的咖啡。

味道帶酸及朱古力香味的麝貓咖啡，人們又愛稱它為「貓屎咖啡」，因為它是經過麝香貓咀嚼及消化系統發酵而成。咖啡農會將麝貓咖啡曬20日，去除水份，然後經烘焙再磨成粉。印尼人愛加糖加水連同咖啡渣一同飲用。

Kopi Luwak (pronounced [ˈkopi ˈluwak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) and other related civet populations. The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Motit Coffee in the Cordillera, or Kape Alamid in Tagalog areas) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku). Local lore in Vietnam has given the name "weasel coffee" to civet coffee, in what is considered the closest recognizable translation to English
