Karting!!! In China!

GUESS where am I???
In Zhuhai, china! We went to Zhuhai for a day trip. The main reason of going there was actually to shop. But, shopping is soooooooooo boring!!!

I'm so glad Jeff found out about the racing track!!! Freaking awesome place! Can forget about going to Kartright (Singapore) forever!
The helmets are sooooooo new! haha! Seems like karting is an expensive sport for the locals.

And don't have to wear stupid hairnet. Gotta wear one in Kartright.

Typical tourist pose!
I love the cars! Damn fast!!! Think it's 270cc.
Nope that's not my car. Looks like an F1 car! But think it's A1. Not too sure.
The karting track! It's so much easier and smoother to drive! Gotta brake only a few times! At the sharp corners. Singapore's track is so tiny that there're so many corners. Need to brake every time!

The stig? HAHA! fake one.



Another typical touristy pose. haha!
That's the mini bike! Can ride on it! I've no idea how thou. It's so tiny!
GUESS where we're???
Eskimo cafe! Saha said it's the same as the one in Singapore!
Back to Macau. Fisherman whaft.
Old rundown housing estate. Nothing like the glamorous casinos.
Macau is all about racing too! Unfortunately, the grand prix museum was closed on Tuesday. And we were there on that day.


Look like vegas desert? haha! The outskirts of Macau have nothing, but these bare plants.
We hiked for half an hr to the race track in Macau. BUT, it's closed for an international karting event!!! Damn sian. We walked so far to kart, and it's closed!!!

But, it's damn cool to be at an international racing event!!!


Finally some Macau food!!!

My relationship with Macau/Zhuhai is a love-hate one. Casinos are way too smoky. And way too many of them. BUT, I love it that both places are so racing-orientated!!! F1 to Macau again please!!!!

Macau and HK

One word to summarize the trip: Awesome!

HK never fails to amaze me, each and every time I'm there. FYI, It's the 5th time I'm there! Love the weather, the food, the attractions, and yes, even the people!!!

So, I went from Macau, to Zhu Hai, back to Macau, then to HK!

Macau and HK love Man U. haha! Everything is about Man u!

There's a huge store in Venetian exhibiting the Man U experience. Just like the theater of dreams.
My typical HK breakfast! Woke up almost at 11am every morning. Too late for proper breakfast.
I absolutely love ocean park! My 3rd time there and it's still as awesome as ever. Love the rides!!! Swear it's much more exciting than the kiddy rides in Disneyland. Though I've never been to HK disney, I don't find it a MUST go place. After all, I've been to the actual fun one!!! haha. As compared to ocean park, HK disney is not appealing at all. For the price I've to pay for disney, I would rather go to ocean park, twice.
Look at my wish! haha. Pretty obvious!!!

My new trekking shoes!!! To prepare for Mt kinabalu someday. haha!

Horse racing. Not that I endorse it. Quite cruel to see the jockeys whipping the horses. But, the horses do get first class treatment before and after the races.
Some ugly celebrity.

At our super classy and obviously, expensive dim sum place. Not that fantastic for the price. But we couldn't quite find a cheap dim sum place near our hotel.

Guess that sums up my hk trip. Way too few pictures. Not the usual touristy kind of holiday. Good place to relax! But I guess it won't be for another 5 years before I go back to hk. Too many places to go!!!

Depression?

My internet is finally back! No really actually. But I found another way.

Anyway, it has been weeks since i'm back from HK. I miss HK soooooooooo much. But doubt it's just HK. Happened to any and every countries I went too!

Suffered the worse post holiday blues ever of my life. Monday, 20th December 2010, was the worse day ever of my working life. Shall not go into details, cos it's really too depressing. Dun wanna make u guys depress. Things are slightly better now. Guess I've got to learn to be detached. Screwed up life!!!

So guess that sums up the end of 2010. It started off really well, as in I was very happy. Things took a downhill when I started work. I don't remember working behind so emotionally draining. Not physical, or mental. It's all about mind games, and I suck at it.

I wish 2011 will be a fantastic year!

p.s. My home, from 8, will be left with only 4 people.

My cousins, from 9, will be left with 5 people.

Everyone is going away. I wanna be away too.

Best bet

This is by far, my craziest, bravest, best best best bet of my life!!!! 7.60 is the best payout I've seen in S'pore pools. A very smart move by me!!! Very risky though.

Anyway, it was really a miracle that he won. Cos everything MUST go wrong for Alonso, and it did. So yay to me and Vettel!!! AMAZING!!!!

Best birthday present! Cos it's given to me by Vettel! hahaha. okay I'm mad.

Shall pack NOW for HK.

BBQ

[picture from Shimin!]

BBQ with hospital executives. (NOT colleagues). We're friends!

Overall, it was awkwardly fun. Awkward cos I hardly see/talk to half of them. Fun cos, it's always fun to bbq!

It was a good experience. Udders afterwards was great too! Just that the ice cream flavors suck. No offence to Mr Yim (Owner of Udders, and he was my sec 2 math teacher!), but what happen to the good old flavors of ice cream?! Pear sorbet was weird. So were the others. Nevertheless, the company was great!

No sure if there will ever be such a gathering as it's so tedious to organize. But once is better than none.

Hong Kong tonight! Very looking forward to the extremely cold weather! BUT i'm so lazy to pack. haha! Till then!

The queen of crime

I absolutely love reading mystery novel and it's no surprise that my favourite author is Agatha Christie, the queen of crime! And I think I may have found the best crime book ever, Crooked House. I swear I gasped when I read the ending.

I have to say, Agatha Christie is the smartest author ever! She makes murder an art. I can never ever guess, call me stupid, who the murderer is. I love the element of shock towards the end!!!

Her book becomes a strategy to make me look forward to riding the train. haha! I refuse to read at my own comfort. Reading on the train makes time passes super fast. Smart move! hahhaa.

Someday, I wanna get the oldest edition of Crooked House. Someday!
