The reason why we chose to go Macau is that we thought we can buy lots of stuff at very cheap prices.. and we are not that kind that likes ruins, architecture.. We are terribly wrong. Macau is really a CASINO city. The whole place is full of casinos and there is only 1 shopping centre, i.e. New Yao Han! But the redeeming thing is the Venetian Macau Resort - Asia's largest single resort offering world class entertainment, state of art meeting facilities, suite accommodation, exquisite shopping and dining all under 1 roof. Service however needs lots of improvement.

A private business area that comes with the latest fax machine and free internet access. It really made KL's day. There is also an LCD 42" TV in front of our double beds.

Disneyland Hong Kong - 12 October 2007 This is the smallest Disneyland, with just 4 themed lands - Main Street USA, Fantasyland, Adventureland and Tomorrowland. We have heard lots of critisms so we went with low expectations. But it wasnt too bad for kids and I still enjoyed the trip though I have been to the ones in Paris and Tokyo.

Main Street USA and the Castle outside the themed lands
We went to the shopping centre at Harbour City. They have a 360 supermarket which is pretty upclass, very similar to Market Place at Raffles City. Things are expensive there. The wanton noodles costs S$7 plus there!
After our brunch there, we took the MTR to Sunny Bay before changing to the Disney Line to Disneyland. The MTR ride is very enjoyable. We are so excited to see Mickey Mouse shaped windows and handles on the train.
This is Alden's first trip overseas to Hong Kong. He was extremely excited that he can finally visit his 'Disney Castle'. We decided the 3 hours flight should be just right for him.

A sumptious tim sum lunch at one of the small eatery. Delicious!
After visiting my sister-in-law at Mount E, we decided to window shop at Paragon. The place is really upscale and for the ultra rich.. Even the fifth floor that is dedicated to children's stuff are full of branded goods. Expensive! But there is 1 nice playground which is clean and well maintain..
New addition to the family always brings excitement and happiness. Seeing my newly born niece makes me feel like trying for the 3rd one soon.. Alden has been telling me that he wants 3 mei mei!
She looks so much like my cheeky brother when he was young!
My 2 active children has a standard routine, i.e. to run around my mum's living room and up and down the sofa..until they are so exhausted then they fall asleep.... They need some avenue to release their loads of energy...
KL is in Chicago for business trip and I am left alone to plan the weekend activities for the kids. We have been going to the Telok Blangah Hill park, swimming at SAFRA, shopping at Vivo City, reading in the library, finally the kids need to cool down and get ready for nap time...
Watching Baby Einstein that I borrowed from the libary
