葉問




went to watch this movie with darling and my kevii cum chi dance friends.

this is one of the best martial arts movies i have ever seen. this is also the best performance i have seen from donnie yen.

葉問, the real kung-fu master, even though he can fight very well, yet he always want to keep a low profile, and will only fight when necessary.

during the japanese occupation, he use both his fists and beat the hell out of the japanese general, sparking a sense of togetherness and nationalism spirit among the chinese.

movie reviews give this movie a 4-star rating. if its me, i will give 5-star. :)

macau day 2

this is the second last day of my hk/macau trip. as you all noe, on the last day, i got food poisoning and lao sai like mad. so i shall let you take a look on wat i ate for macau day 2. and i ate alot, really ALOT.

firstly, the aunt bring us to eat dao4 di4 portugese egg tart. hot and fresh from the oven. damn nice.



next, she bring us to a kopitiam, where we ate bird nest portugese egg tart, and the famous pork chop bun.




after that, we went to zhuhai. zhuhai is part of china, and is very near macau. just need to walk through the customs can already. just like sg to johore.

over at zhuhai, mak hongsen's uncle treat us to yum cha. he book one room for us, just like those in hk drama serial. haha. btw his uncle work as security in one of the biggest casinos in macau, and he told us that gambling addicts are super kua zhang one, they can faint, pee and vomit at the gambling table. and i think that his uncle look a bit like donnie yen.





stewed pigeon. my first time eating it. taste quite unique.


next, we went for a relaxing massage (clean one, not dirty one), and then we go to one of the shopping malls. walk around for a while, his uncle bring us to a shop for desserts. -.-'''

we din spend a single renminbi at zhuhai, cos the uncle paid everything for us.

we went back to macau, and he bring us to his house for a visit.

after that is DINNER.

basically all of mak hongsen's relatives in macau were there. including the little cousins. and we ordered lots of food. really lots of food. until now, when i see those pics, i still feel like vomitting, cos these food play a major part in my laosai-ing.








(these are not all the dishes. still got like 5 more dishes, which i nv take photo.)


after a super full dinner, the very hospitable aunt bring us to go eat dessert. -.-'''

i had a bowl of egg pudding. then while eating, we saw a cat at the kitchen, licking the plates and utensils. all of us freaked out. maybe the cat saliva is the main reason that caused my food poisoning?

at the end of the night, the aunt send us back to our hotel. we bade farewell to her because she has to go to work the next day and wun see us anymore. we prepared a hongbao for her because she really spent alot of money treating us. but she die die also dun wanna accept. and then she hug each of us goodbye, and also gave us alot of goodies to bring back to sg. next time when she come to sg, we must really give her the same hospitable treatment.

back to the hotel room, at 4 am, is my first lao sai, and is lao sai all the way le. haha. so basically this marks the end of my hk/macau trip. the last day i was so sick that i din take a single photo. and i thought i was going to die on the plane back to sg, but miraculously i survived.

this has been a great and enjoyable trip. thank you to my two travelling buddies who made the trip so fun, and also thank you for taking care of me on the last day of the trip. *bows*
