Well, I hope that I can still type properly even though I am currently feeling kind of drugged by the cocktail of flu medication I have been shuffling down my throat. Hopefully these locally available medication will work as I’m definitely not looking forward to my time in Macao being knocked out or being half there. Although I don’t really like the precaution stated on what’s supposed to be antibiotics saying that people that have liver damage shouldn’t consume it. What type of antibiotics would pose a threat to people with liver problems? That I have a bad feeling towards. In addition, the cough mixture (at least it’s supposed to be cough mixture) tastes like rather diluted chin chow with a slight tinge of peppermint. Other than that, my appetite has really plummeted as even a little amount of food is sufficient to send me into a coughing frenzy which usually ends with me feeling rather nauseous (which is what I’m currently feeling right now).

Anyway, I’ll be taking a flight from Hainan to Zhuhai (I think it’s spelt that way) on Saturday and from there, I’ll be going across a bridge to Macao where I’ll be staying at the Venetian Macao. Haha okay I’m not the most excited one going there since my brother is going to the Venetian mainly to watch the Cirque du Soleil resident show there, which comes with the rooms in a package. I think my dad booked the suites which according to my brother has two floors, plenty of opportunities to take photos haha. May even check out the casino there but I don’t think I’ll try my hand at poker or blackjack since my card skills have deteriorated somewhat prior to the A’s. My mom suggests roulette but it’s not really my type of game since it involves more luck than poker or blackjack, although probability still plays a large role. Besides, I need to earn at least 5 dollars there to exchange for 1 Singapore dollar. So I don’t think it’s worth it.

I’m looking forward to checking out the shopping there though, as well as the famous Portuguese egg tarts. I wonder if there’s anything else which we can do there. O well, when in doubt, use travelwiki lols. That’s assuming I can yank my brother off the computer chair long enough to use it. I’ll be staying in Macao for 2 nights and 1 night in Zhuhai before returning to Hainan on the 23rd. After that it’s just 3 days till I return haha.


Can’t wait to see everyone again!!
