on May 5th til May 8th i went to Zhuhai,China with my family and aunties.
Day 1, Sunday...
at 4am Sunday morning, we went to check in at LCCT airport for Air Asia flight. At 6.30am, time for us to board onto the plane. as far as i remembered, the last time i sat on a plane was about 8-9 years old..? anyway, i was so excited since it was my first time to go oversea + to be on an aeroplane. while waiting for other passengers to get on.. i saw Rina and Raz(8tv host)holy molly..!Although they aren't that popular like singers such as Fish Leong or Zhang Dong Liang.. but still to be able to meet them in person is quite rare! during the flight, the scenery was amazing.. the clouds was wonderful just like a cotton candy, makes me wanted to touch it!around 10.30am. we finally reach Macau International Airport. while waiting in line for passport check, my bro and i went behind to take a pic with Rina and Raz.. haha.. ^^ after that, we went to another immigration entrance(not sure if that's the correct word) just like a border of Johor and Singapore.. after passing the entrance, we're officially in Zhuhai, China. because we did not went with the tourist package, we just went stay at the nearest hotel. So call 3 star hotel but to me if to be judge from KL, it'll be 2star hotel.. the lobby's air conditioner wasn't cold. room's door lock not secure enough, when u double lock usually eventhough if one have the room key, he/she wont be able to enter. but for that hotel. we can enter! after unpacking our luggage, we went for shopping! At the same time, my mum and aunties also look out for travel agency for one day local trip. We walked and walked and walked til it's dawn! gosh, i never had so much walk in my life... we brought lotsa stuff from the RMB 2 shop, which equal to Malaysia Ringgit 1.00
my brother and i brough few accessories.

Day 2, Monday
Woke up early moring about 6am. get ready and waited at the lobby since 9am for the one-day-tour-guide. she was late for half and hour! so unproffesional.. she brought us for a ferry ride around the island, some legendary landmarks(mermaid land)and finally shopping mall. In the shedule, it was said our one day tour would end at night-9pm. but got cheated! our tour started late and ended early, way early- about 3.30pm! due to that, all of us decided to go for shopping again.. mostly the same area, last day to shop since the following day we'll be going to Shenzen. after all the long walk, fricking tired! At night, we all went to a thai massage shop nearby our hotel. all of us took the 75 minute package for foot massage for RMB30(RM15.00) it was my and my bro first time. frankly speaking, it was fun.. we get to have one free drink, and to watch tv while massaging.By the time we reached hotel, it was already 2 something in the morning.
ride around the island with his ship.. we sat at the back
This is the mermaid area
Day 3, Tuesday
woke up at 6am again.. gosh couldnt really get good night sleep. get ready and waited at lobby at 7am. We booked a van for the whole day for our trip to Shenzen.(destination, our choice.. driver fetch) so we went for breakfast somewhere at Zhuhai. after that, sat in the car for 3 hours to ShenSzen. First stop was a museum regarding war- the transport, show/parade, etc.. According to the elderly, it was boring and not worth to watch. So we went to second stop, couldnt recall the name, but it was huge! there's all this miniture structure buildings of china- the palace, great wall of china, etc.. Furthermore, there's real houses of the past centuries short show of their culture- since chinese.china have lotsa different group such as mongolia, yunan.. we took alot alot of picture until our and aunty kat's camera went out of battery. Reminder: do remember to bring extra camera in the future during any trip to oversea, i learn my lesson..
the miniture structure was amazing and so REAL! the bricks were build one by one and they even creatd human and animal figures around it! our first show was about the war between mongolia and ming dinasty. although i didnt really understand most of the thing they said but all the cast's horse's skill was fantastic *thumbs up*
most of the show time was 10-15 minutes different, which means we had to run our lungs out for another destination.! gosh, the place was extremely big, one day would be able to finish the walk. We heard that there's an conclusion for the show which was to be start on 7.30 pm.. it was said to be the biggest show ever, therefore the elders decided to stay up 7.30pm for the show. And yup, it was worth it! the effects and stage was amazing! sadly my camera's battery was dead, otherwise i would definitely record the entire show. the colour usage and costume was awesome. all the workers included those who performed at mini show and hawkers was compulsory to participate in theis show. I can guarantee we can never find such show in KL or Malaysia. all those fire scene, water or animal apperance. they used the real thing!
the show ended at 8.30, exactly one hour.. after that, because we paid RMB1,200 for the car and didnt really use it since almost whole day was spent in the same place. My aunts requested the driver to bring us to nearby shopping complex. at first he reluctant since it was late. But in the end, he gave in. we went for a walk nearby but nothing much to buy. I went into one shopping market and there's a huge stand at the centre displaying all different types of condom open area (unlike KL, it was either hidden in an isolated or only display at the counter). My first time seeing it was display openly.. haha... By the time we reach hotel it was 12.something.. The elders wanted to go back to the same Thai massage shop again. but this time, they went for the whole treatment- body and leg, while my bro and i decided to go for the body only- cheaper , RMB30. gosh, it was painful to be massage that way! first time experiencing it and it was ok la.. not so bad..
