Last Saturday, I watched it together with Winnie, BL, sandbox and @pple.
So, it is time to take a look at the official website.
Before we entered the cineplex, sandbox told us to prepare tissues. He said his friend who had watched it, told him it is a very touching movie. @@! Maybe, there is no Andy Lau, or maybe I was too busy to figure out the story and there is no tissue needed 'x' ;p
It's indeed a very drama-like movie. Maybe this type of movie will gain popularity in near future as many people might lose the patient to watch 10-20 episodes drama.
Very surprise to find that the movie is not bad lo! 'x' I mean I did not have too much of expectation from Jay Chou since this is his first movie. Well, it turns out to be quite good!
You might find that there is many unexplainable parts in it, but, OK, I really enjoy the scenes where Jay playing piano. =)

This year...Kuching Fest
Did not plan to visit Kuching Fest at all this year, mainly because I dont really like crowded place.
Anyway, I was there tonight, the last night of the festival. ^_^
Reason: People keeps talking about "oh ah mee sua" -- Oyster Noodle lately!
Winnie and BL were the first 2 that mentioned about it last month.
Then I heard it from my sil.
The last one I know who is crazy for the noodle is ccw's aunt.
Finally, I decided to give it a try last Friday lunch. According to Winnie, it is available at 东馆西馆. Together with BL, sandbox and @pple, we went to 东馆西馆 for lunch. Too bad, oh ah mee sua is not available anymore.
Last night, my parents in law and sil told me they bought it at Kuching Fest.
@@!
At around 6pm, I decided to "rush" to the place where Kuching Fest is held! It was raining somemore!
After buying the oyster noodle and some other food, we go home straight away. Oh ya, we met someone there, the io ka chng ben who parked his ka chng on the table..tsk tsk tsk.. You see? It is so crowded until he had to sit on the table.
Hoho...so so how is the noodle? Once I reached home, I took out the noodle and woo...it smells good! And it taste good too! Yum Yum~~
To those who miss it, you gotta fly over to Taiwan liao! ngek!!!

5th July - Macau (Part 1)
Wake up at around 8:30am.
Had breakfast at the hotel and then off we went!
We planned to visit a lot of places that day. We brought along camera, ccw's itinerary, map and brochures (provided by the hotel).
The bus stand is just a stone throw away from the hotel. 'x'!
So, ccw suggested to take the bus. According to the information provided by the hotel staff, we should pay the exact amount of the bus fare as there is no changes. What I mean is if you paid MOP10 for the MOP3.30 bus fare, there will be no bus conductor to pay you MOP6.70 back. Once, we witnessed this incident where one of the passenger asking for the remaining of the money he paid from the bus driver. The bus driver looked at him with a sarcastic face and said: "It states clearly that no changes wat?" He continued:"How you want me to pay you? Use my own money to pay you? Silly!" Opps..I think the cantonese version is more interesting. LOL!
Passenger:"找钱."
Driver:"都话明唔找钱咯! 呵, 找钱喔，我去哪里找钱俾你？唔通叫我按自己个荷包找钱俾你咩？黏线~!"
Ya, that is more satisfying. I mean, it was like watching a live Hong Kong series. Erm, I watch Hong Kong series since little kid, so if you can understand how the feeling is to encounter the familiar scenario from the series, then that's it!
Oh by the way, I always kept quiet in the bus as I was afraid that we might meet Hong Kong bus uncle. Hahah!
Ya, I know I was in Macau that time but I just thought I was in Hong Kong all the time and Macau is part of Hong Kong. Can?
The bus fare is standard. Taipa - Macau penisular is MOP3.30 and MOP2.50 within Macau Penisula itself. (Learn more about Macau from WikiTravel). The bus stops of each bus is listed clearly at the bus stand so it is very convenient to those who can read Chinese characters.
We hopped onto the bus, crossed the bridge and reached the Macau Penisula.
The building (lazy to circle it, it is at the bottom right of the photo and behind the wiper), which is under construction, is the Grand New Casino owned by Mr. Stanley Ho.
First stop - Largo do Senado (Senate Square)
Exactly like what wikitravel said: a colorful typical Iberian town square at the heart of the city. Love the place so much. By looking at the design on the floor, it made me want to dance on it..the spanish dance..turning round and round...stomping feet...clapping hands...
We walked pass Igreja de São Domingos (st dominic's church) but it was not open yet. So we decided to visit Ruinas de São Paulo (The ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral) first and came back later.
At the ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral, There were a lot of tourists, we can hardly take any photo without other tourists in it.
Traveling mood was there once I saw this WALL! It is 100% like what you see in drama or magazine or photo, well, 2D and 3D does not make much different for the piece of wall! ;p
Looking at the piece of wall from the other side.
The view from the platform through the opening of the WALL.
After that we headed towards the Fortaleza Do Monte. On the way to the fort, we saw this:
WC for dogs.
At first, I did not pay any attention to it. Later, after I got a few fright from the DOGS passing by me with their owners, then I realised why there is the WC for DOGS! I did not know where should I hide myself when there were 4 dogs with 2 owners running up the staircases to the fort and we were walking down! *COLD SWEAT*
Proof - Dog
We reached the fort.
Next, we moved on to the Museum. It was closed for renovation. :( Can only take photo with the building and the lotus!
On the way back to the church, we saw Portugese egg tart! *Thumbs Up*
You know how yummy it is when you cant resist to eat it even when you are full! Ngek!
Igreja de São Domingos (st dominic's church) opened!
Outside and Inside
The Treasure of Sacred Art is at the back of the church.
There are quite a lot of shops along the streets. Ccw bought 2 Tees from Bossini and requested for small changes for bus fare later. The girl at the counter was very helpful that she gave us direction where to board the bus. In fact, I think the people there are very friendly and helpful to the tourists. :)
We walked pass 义顺炖奶店 when we were walking towards the bus stand. I dragged ccw inside and ordered 2 双皮奶 (double skin milk?!). I have watched it a lot of time in drama and I must try it! ;p Cold one is better than the hot one! The taste is like yogurt + tofu hua!
冻的驰名双皮炖奶 (Plain double skin milk)
热的红豆双皮奶 (Hot double skin milk with red beans)
If you had the same queston like ccw, what is this thing called 双皮奶? My answer is egg+milk. The making of 双皮奶 could be found here.
We spent the whole morning at that area. There are so many things to see and eat and shop!
Let's continue again in Part 2!
p/s: Forgot to mention that, the clouds in Macau can move! LOL. I enjoyed watching the clouds moving, again, just like what we used to watch in Hong Kong movie/series. Last time, I always cant understand why they like to 'make' the cloud moves in the movie, now I understand it was not 'made'! =)

4th July - Kuching - Kuala Lumpur - Macau
The flight from Kuching to Kuala Lumpur is scheduled to depart at 6:45am. We have to check in latest by 5:45am. It means that I have to wake up as early as 5:00am. ARGH!
Many people worried I could not wake up in time to board the flight. In fact, I really had a difficult time to drag myself out of the bed after 4 hours sleep. Imagine that I woke up at 4:00am the day before and spent the rest of the day as the bride. Say the day ended at 1:00am. Then the next day, I woke up at 5:00am. Ok, that's how tired I was.
However, when I thought of the places that I was going to visit, I told myself there is no excuse for me to miss the flight. ;p
We reached airport at 5:40am. After check-in and waved goodbye to our parents, the honeymoon began!
First time that I fell asleep in flight and did not have any food. I do not know why, but I must eat in flight. HAHA!
Once we touched down at LCCT, our stomachs started to growl. Uncle Mc Donald welcomed us.
Did not bring the tripod, thus we could only take photos for the drinks :(
The flight to Macau is 3:35 in the afternoon. We have plenty of time so we went over to KLIA for a walk and checked on the currency rate. But in the end we went back to LCCT and have our $ changed to HKD. They have better offer rate there.
I cant remember we had any lunch that day. We ordered fruit juice from Fruit & Juice Kiosk before we left KLIA.
Guava Juice & Dragon Fruit Juice.
We were at the boarding hall immediately after we have check-in. Nothing much to do there except for checking prices for the skin care products and perfume available there. I had been told that the skin care products and perfumes are cheaper in Hong Kong. Let you know later!! ;p
Mwhehe...happily boarded the flight to Macau. While we were scanning through the menu, I saw the flight attendant holding Pak Nasir's nasi lemak from the front cart to the back cart. I thought we finally got the chance to taste the "famous" nasi lemak. After about an hour waiting for the 2 carts to reach us, we were told that Pak Nasir already went back home, Ms Maggie's stall was running out of stock to, left only the curry flavour mee and porridge.
Slept for a while and then waited anxiously to reach Macau International Airport.
My first Macau image!
It was about 7:30pm when we landed at Macau International Airport. We took taxi from airport to Grandview Hotel, Taipa. The taxi fare is MOP 21.
The Portugese language is used everywhere. First word that I picked up was SAIDA which is KELUAR in Malay. ;p The hotel was quite full and I guess it is because of the casino.
Click image to enlarge.
The hotel provide us a few coupons and we chose to dine in at Grandview Chinese Restaurant. One soup + one dish + one dessert = MOP50 per pax, cheapest that we could find from the coupons. Hahah...
After dinner, we went outside the hotel. There is a Lai Lai（来来）Supermarket nearby. When we stepped inside, we heard Andy Lau's song. ^_^
Green tea that uses Andy Lau's song as theme song :)
The end of Day 1.
