First of all, thanks to everyone for the birthday greetings. I just came back from Hong Kong, had a smashing time there. Everyday was basically eat eat and shop. Dim Sum, milk tea, Wonton mee, Crabs, Sharks fin, beef noodles and my fav 臭豆腐! I manage to get nike shorts at 12bucks and colombia water bottle at 14bucks, definitely a bargain. There is a shopping centre which sells factory outlet goods so that explains the crazy prices. The streets are damn crowded and walking along just soaks in the atmosphere.

The highlight of the trip has got to be sunday where my family headed to Macau. Did a bit of sightseeing and loved their Portuguese tarts. Next stop was the casino. I tried my hand at playing 大小 but ended up losing. My father however won most of the time and even made quite a bit at the jackpot. As my luck was bad, I resisted the temptation to play blackjack. As Manchester United were in Macau, we purposely went to the casino next to the hotel so after we left the casino we went next door to check it out, by then there were a small crowd of fans waiting for the United stars. My sis and me waited quite a while before Wesley Brown and Michael Carrick arrived. The rest sadly didn't turn up I dun noe why. No rooney or ronaldo, wasted sia. They hurried into the hotel and everyone rushed to the 2nd floor after them. We waited for an hour and the two stars came out again this time obliging everyone by signing autographs. I believe almost everyone got their signatures. I didn't have a pen or marker even though I had a United Jersey on and could have asked them to sign it but decided to snap photos and video of them in person. Below are my pics from my trip and the videos I took of them.
