One Day in MACAU

Welcome back blogging! Here I want to share my last trip to Macau when in Hongkong. (Countinuing my travel to HK at the previous post. It's kinda weird if you look back the time :p)

Day one strolling around the city of HK and planned to go to Disneyland at day two and Macau at day three.. The night before Day 2, we decided to change our plan. We changed Macau trip at Day 3 into Day 2.. As we’ve got our TurboJet tickets, and just realized that the staff at the travel counter ever said that the tickets can be used anyday except Public holiday. So, Day 2 in the morning we were going back to Shun Tak Centre, the port of travel to Macau using TurboJet. We’ve been there around 7am in the morning, Checked in, and got our Boat scheduled at 07.30am. Passanger will get their schedule based on availablity. The trip across the Island was about an hour. And we arrived at Macau Ferry Terminal around 8.30am. Sooo earlyyy.. :D

I googled from the internet about the transportation in Macau. There were free tourism busses we can take if we want to strolling around the island. We were looking for this kind of busses, and we found them after wrong way waiting public busses at the different side of station.hehehe. And you know what, free tourism busses were true, but, they’re ride only to one place and back to Macau Ferry Terminal bus Station. It’s kind a difficult if we took this bus to one place and back to terminal and took another bus to one other place and back again to terminal and so on and so on.. So not effective. Sigh.. We went to the Tourist information inside the Terminal to ask wether there’s another tourist transportation. The staff advised us to take the City tour Bus and Okay we agreed as we only did one day trip in Macau. We went to the Travel counter and buy 2 tickets. It was an open top bus, we can hop on and hop off at any stop they’ve scheduled and ride another open top bus.

First Stop was The Grand Lisboa.

Second Stop was The Ruin of St.Paul and take a walk around the Senado Square. A small city with a vintage Portuguese kind of style.

Midday was time for lunch.. We tried the famous Macau egg tart, soooo yummy, but the place was so crowded at the time, lunch in the holiday season, perfect long qeue everywhere.. hahaha. Btw we had our lunch box prepared from the hotel, as we know that it  would be hard for us to find no-pork meals. Plus, every restaurant was almost fully reserved by everyone.. :p

After lunch we decided to hop on the open top bus again at the place we’d stop before. We enjoyed one more round city  tour. We’re not stopped at every sightseeing in Macau, but we enjoy all of them from the open top bus, Cause we had a great time together. Talks, jokes, laughs, kisses. I was happy.. ^.^

Next stop was the fisherman’s wharf. Actually we saw it as the first stop scheduled by the tour, but we skipped it and went direct to the Grand Lisboa. As we still had time to wait the bus to go to venetian at 2pm, we stopped here to look around. This place is quite interesting, because it’s look like a little colloseum in Rome, Italy. Hehehe

Last destination was The Venetian Macau. It reminds me of the real Venice, Italy. I was there for a Christmas holiday in Desember when I stayed in Germany for one year.. The Venetian Macau designed as the mirror of Venice, Italy, but I just knew inside of this building is a high class shopping mall. Beside the Venetian area, there's Parisian, yeah of course there’s miniature of Eiffel Tower, indeed there’s a mall too.. Hehe Malls everywhere..

 

Here's the most elegant hotel include casino in Macau after the Grand Lisboa. Gold everywhere.. I guess they love gold, cause it represent as  a prosperity.. 

Actually we were not visit all of the Sightseeing here in Macau, but by using the hop on bus, we passed through all of them. We did stops for awhile and enjoyed the place from the top of the bus.. Well.. That's all for Macau.. Next is Disneyland!

Thank you!

Hong Kong Day 1

Hallooo.. It’s been awhile since my last post..hehe. Busy with my official 9 hours work and 24 hours online-thrift-shop, today I want to share my last December trip to Hongkong with my hubby.. I’ve got a round trip ticket from hubby as my birthday gift on last May. Haha. It’s okay actually, as we can prepared all cost we need to spent during the trip. :D

November and early December was a perfect time to go to Hong Kong I guess. The weather was nice, the sun shine so bright, cold and fresh, a bit cloudy and windy, no rain and no fog. It was an early Winter and I love it soo much. Me and hubby really had a gooood time together, as we hadn’t go out for 6months since our last trip to Singapore on last May. Hihihi. So, let’s the journey begin. We stayed in Tsim Sha Tsui area Hongkong for 4 nights and pre-booked a room via Agoda.com . We arrived in Hongkong midnight and took the Bus to TST. First before we took the Bus, we need to buy an octopus card which can be topped up n be used for all transportation in Hongkong such Busses and MTR (Metro Train Rapid). We took A21 Bus to Hung Hom, which operate up to 1AM everyday, and stop at Nathan Road, where our hotel was. Night Bus trip was only about an hour from HKIA, but longer on day time due the traffic.

So, Day 1 in Hongkong we decided to go around the city. As we only travelled for two, the time was more flexible than we travel with more people. No rush and no need exact itinerary, cause we could change our mind of what we’re going to do. Don’t forget to take the city and MTR map if you don’t want to get lost haha! We ate breakfast at Hotel and went outside around 9 am. There’s so many nearest sightseeing actually, but we only go to the famous Victoria Harbour, and Victoria Peak. The nearest MTR is the East Tsim Sha Tsui, stopped here and follow the direction on the wall of an exit Map, If I’m not forget, take the exit J.  We just need to took 10 mins walk to get here from the Hotel. Walking is healthy, right? Haha

Loving this view so muchhh and thank you to a young Japanese Couple who took this pic. 

There’s a clock tower as a landmark in Hong Kong. Still at the same area of Victoria Harbour. Strolling around in the morning was better because it was not so many people. And we can take photo without fully people as its background. hehehe

By the way, in Day 1, it was a must that we go to Shun Tak Centre (Transport Complex, more look like a shopping mall) to change our voucher trip that we bought online via klook.com . We planned to go to Macau on Sunday, but the voucher need to be changed to a real ticket on office hour at the travel counter at 3^rd floor of Shun Tak Centre. Good news was, we’re going to depart from here to go to Macau. We just knew the port is here and it would be easier for us to find the port in the morning soon we’re going to on board the TurboJet. Hihihi. After we've got the tickets we went to Victoria Peak to enjoy the 360 degree City panoramic views of Hong Kong. Now it's named Sky Terrace 428. We bought the Sky Pass including the Peak Tram roundtrip tickets at the Peak Tram Station.

  

Soooo windy up there and a bit difficult to took an #ootd pics. hahaha :p

People said we should go back to Victoria Harbour in the evening, because we can enjoy one of the most famous attraction in the city, Symphony of lights. And yes, we’re going baack and enjoy a short night here, it was too windy to spent time longer, and we dicided to go back to the Hotel to had dinner and took a rest as we had to woke up early at the next day. Hehehe

Day 1 is done and to be continued to my post of Day 2. Please check out my video in my youtube channel about Day 1 in Hong Kong. Psssttt.. this is my first vlogging-try. I’m still newbie.. Hope you enjoy.. hihihi :D

Vihara Vipassana Graha

I do love Indonesia, love to travel, love to enjoy many kind of new things. Cause of work (the only reason), the only refreshing option is do city travelling. Which is the only -reachable-travel-destination for me and le hubby for now..haha. 

Okay, readers, this time I'll share me time travelling (again) in Bandung.. I know, I know, another great place to visit, to spent with our loveliest.. ^,^ There's a Vihara, named Vipassana Graha, located at Jl. Kolonel Masturi Nr. 69, Lembang, Jawa Barat. This place is a bit hide and we won't see the building from the Road, because it has a big fence in front of it and we have to pass through the security guard to enter. This place located direct in front of Kampung Legok (the one you can see from the road with a big badge. It will make you easier to reach the Vihara).

When you reach the Vihara, you don't have to say what's your purpose to the security guard. Because the last time I went there, they didn't ask for it. Just in case they ask you, just tell them that you're only going to visit. It just happen when there's an event at the time you come. 

To enter the Vihara is free of charge. But there's some rules that we have to know, first we can't wearing shorts or mini skirts as this is a holy worship place for Buddhists. Second, we have to keep the area clean and do not make some noise. Do respect for all people who pray here.. :)

**Special this photo I got randomly from the internet since I couldn't get a good spot to take pic like this when I was there.. poor me -,-

Vihara Vipassana Graha, Lembang, Bandung

When me and le Hubby enter the Vihara area, there's a group of students selling roses around for charity (just forgot what kind of charity they told us). Cause of the charity, le hubby bought me the red rose. yess, a flower!. He never give me bouquette of flowers at all, until that day he gave me one. hahaha he's soooo far from romantic. :p

Here are some photos we took..

Jump the Jumper

My second singapore outfit was wearing jumper, heels and again the floppy hat. Totally comfy with this outfit to walk all day.. but not the heels to wear all day long, kind of creepy and it will hurts my feet so much. But why i wearing heels? well, it makes me looks more shapy, you know, it will pull up your bottom and make body in the right way to be more sexy i guess :p.. I just wear it to walk around the mall indoor and will change it to my all-time-fave boots to walk around the city.. 

I was looking for a cold fresh air and had lunch in Sentosa Island Mall with le Hubby and he took me this pics.. :)

What I wore :

Jumper - Uniqlo

Blouse Top - H&M

Heels - Bellagio

Floppy Hat - Cotton On

Sunnies - Ray Ban Aviator
