Say a lil prayer before boarding flight

In exactly one week and three days' time, I'll be flying off to Macau via Air Asia with my mates, Ivy, Chin Yew, Michelle and Fung Ying, embarking on our plan-it-yourself free-and-easy 9-days-8-nights tour from Macau to Guangzhou to Hong Kong and back to Macau. Phew! All those many words cramped in juz one loooong sentence! :P

I am so excited even as I am typing this entry now! This is the first time I'm travelling so far with my friends. So far, we've only done Malacca, PD and Genting together, if I remember correctly. We've already exchanged our RMs for RMBs and HKDs. All in all, we changed RM13,000 in total (RM2500 for Ivy and me respectively and RM8000 for Chin Yew and Michelle). Chin Yew and I met up at Mid Valley after his work to exchange currencies. I almost freaked out when I saw the large sum of money Chin Yew was carrying with him the whole time (Ivy's RM2500 was with him too).

I arrived early at MV so I went jalan-jalan and tried on clothes and camwhored in the fitting room! Hehe!

This Topshop dress looks nice but the top is quite low and wide. Plus, the price isn't right! :P

So we changed RM6000 for RMB12,820 (RMB3205 for each of us) and RM7000 for HKD15,625 (I'm not sure how much HKD we have cuz Chin Yew's safekeeping that currency while I'm holding on to the RMBs). We're armed with money for shopping, massage, fun, and gambling haven! Muahahahahaha!

After that, Chin Yew and I joined my sister, Stuart and her friend, Chin Chee Kit for dinner at C-Jade Express restaurant. After that, I walked with Chin Yew to look at luggage and backpacks while my sis and gang stayed back at C-Jade. Since Chin Yew was still hungry after looking at bags, he went off to eat summore at Jusco's Assam Laksa corner while I headed off to GSC cinema to get ready to collect my free movie passes from HOT magazine for Evan Almighty. Sharon arrived shortly after that and queued behind me. Sharon and her hubby planned to watch Rush Hour 3 straight after Evan Almighty. Keng chow hor! Macam no need to work next day like that! Tee hee! ;) She asked since last week if I wanted to join them at Rush Hour 3 but I told them no since I didn't wanna drive back alone so late at night.

I dunno is it because I've already read the online review for Evan Almighty on MSN and the movie was only rated 2 stars outta 5 that I dun find the movie all that entertaining or I juz didn't really enjoy the movie or...? The movie has its funny moments, yes but sometimes it seems like it's being overdone... like it's trying too hard to impress the audience. I dunno, that's juz my two cents' worth. Haha! :P

Anyway, Guangzhou/HK/Macau trip, here we come! Here's to a long over-deserved (I won't even say well-deserved) break from work (and the Lees), a trip away from home and familiarity of places, a sleek new haircut, renewed friendships with my long-time ex-collegemates and the commencement of my pending new job soon after I touchdown in Malaysia after my trip. God bless us all! :)

My travelling bag is still quite unpacked! :P
