Mention Macau and probably casinos come to
your mind, right? But of course, as one would reasonably expect, there is more
to Macau than casinos, or the famous Ruins of St Paul (Image right, courtesy of Flickr.com member
armaggsein). Exactly what, I can only
report to you next week after I return from a 4-day, 3-night trip this weekend.
As some of you may recall, I recently took
part in the SGBlog Awards Competition organized by omy.sg. Although I did not
come in first in my category, the Best Individual Blog Category, I was
nevertheless invited to join 9 other winners for this free trip which is
sponsored by the Macau Government Tourist Office and Tiger Airways. This is
because the winner in my category is unable to go.
Looking at the itinerary, there really does
seem to be many exciting places to visit and enjoy in Macau. Here are some
examples:
1) Macau
Tower
2) The 24th Macau International
Fireworks Display
3) Macau Grand Prix and Wine Museum
4) Butterfly Pavilion @ MGM Macau
5) Ice World @ Venetian Macau
6) City of Dreams
7) House of Dancing Waters
8) Coloane Village
9) Taipa Village
Besides the above, we will get to savour
some famous Macau cuisine. I look forward to trying the Portuguese dishes and
buying my favourite almond biscuits.
Actually, this is not my first trip to
Macau. In 1997, I did stop over at Macau for one day while enroute to Hong Kong
from Zhuhai, China. Don’t remember much about that trip except a visit to a
casino (I don’t gamble), the St Paul’s Ruins and a shopping street.
My thanks to the generous sponsorship of
the Macau Government Tourist Office and Tiger Airways, who will be treating us
to their newly launched new TigerBites menu.

My late 6th uncle (from my maternal side) had always something good to say, or praising all the way if necessary to most people he met - be they old or young. In his seventies, nephews would make time to take him for golfing, treating him to a nice restaurant or pampering him one way or another. One day while walking with him through Empress Food Centre, I saw many foodstall operators there greeted him like seeing an old friend, asking him whether he would like to have a meal at their stall. This is what I call powerful human relationship skill (I wish to possess a fraction of it). I am wondering could it be chun see positive write-up in his blog which earns him a trip to Macau?
waiting for more picture~ XD
