Macau-Hong Kong Birthday Trip Day 6 -Part 3

Oh dear, it took me more than 2 years to actually complete a travel post.. and it is still incomplete!! Oh well, I MUST complete them before my next trip though... and I still have 2 more trips in the list.. Sigh...

Anyway.. after a very quiet visit at the Fisherman's Wharf, I kinda forgot how does it feel like to be in a place crowded with people and hence we move to our next destination.. 

The A-Ma Temple or also known as 妈祖阁... Since HP is a Catholic so she just hung around outside while I went in for some simple prayers and made some donations..



As you can see, it was a huge difference with the Fisherman's Wharf in the morning... people here, people there, people everywhere...
After that, we head to the famous Yi-Shun Dairy to have their famous steamed milk..


Since I enjoy milk, this is definitely a must-try!! and I loved it!! HP thinks it's too milky, hers was steamed milk with ginger which I thought was too ginger-y... anyway, a must try if you love milk or dairy products!!




This was hp's, as you can see it's abit more yellowish than mine due to the ginger..


It was still crowded even during odd hours like 4-5pm...



Took this photo because hp called it 人间隧道... It sounds like some gateway to heaven when it's actually just an underground passageway.. I even made the photo slightly blurry to match the heaven-ly feel...



And then, we were back here.. before this I would like to say.. the bus drivers in Macao are super kind!! because we did not have enough small change to pay for the bus ride.. seeing us fumbling with our money, the bus driver beckoned us in and said it's ok. It may be out of frustration because we were blocking the way but I believe it's pure kindness!!!!!


Played with the effects on my camera... Instagram were not yet a hit that time..




We bought our souvenirs here and I had quite a feast by sampling roast jerky at all the souvenir shops along the way... the souvenir shops in Macau are like the jewelry stores in HK, 7-11 in Taiwan and cosmetics shop in Korea.. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!

That wraps up my post.. I believe there are 2 more to go...

Stay tuned!

Toodles!

[R]unning into K-pop

My life so far mainly consist of work... My working hours are fixed, unlike the flexi one in my previous company, so I reach home just in time for dinner... after dinner, some "me" time with several korean variety shows I've found on Youtube and dailymotion.. then it's time to sleep and wake up for work the next morning... That's basically my life every working day...

Speaking about korean variety shows... I know I am pretty slow on these but I finally have the time to catch up on several.. the very famous Running Man...








We Got Married

These are the 2 main ones that I am currently watching.. and occasionally catching up on Let's Go, Dream Team! on TV..

Besides these are some parts here and there when I am cruising around youtube..

I think I have mentioned before that my main intention of learning Korean is not because of Kpop.. But... after learning Korean... my liking towards Kpop have been increasing ever since... I guess since I always need to write at work, I tend to avoid writing when I get home hence I turn to my next favourite past time.. watching TV.. but the TV does not always air the programme I'm interested in so the best solution is the internet.. I can watch anything anytime.. From music videos, to music performances, bits and pieces of variety shows, interviews and even some drama.. My ultimate favourite past time so far..

I still love Super Junior though... Had always been a fan since I started learning Korean...


As for girl group.. I have always been supporting Davichi..



 Then... I currently have a few more to add to the list..

2AM

Girls' Generation

f(x).. during their debut I always thought this was pronounced as "function", eventually found out it's actually pronouced as "eff" "ex".. as in the alphabet "f" and "x".. these are honestly some pretty weird names..


Ailee, her song was blasting every where when I was in Korea 2 years back.. "Heaven heaven heaven heaven heaven... "


I was quite aware of the happenings in K-pop but then I wasn't really on the bandwagon.. Just jumped on the K-pop bandwagon recently and realised..... a very cruel fact.....



I AM A BIT TOO OLD FOR K-POP!!!

Sigh... I should have been more into it 5 years ago... It's people born in the 90s dominating now and I couldn't help feeling old...

However... at least I understand a bit more that I used to 5 years ago... ~self comfort~


Signing off....
Toodles!!
