SiMpLY MEEE!!!

After my south africa trip in June, this time my work took me to macau…las vagas of the east. The purpose of the trip was to bring a group of chinese delegates who are on an incentive program to watch the macau grand prix (formula 3). Wasnt quite prepared for the trip as I was informed really last minute like 3 days before I fly off…and my so very "smart" manager told me the weather is same like singapore..but oh boy how wrong was she!!! Its actually almost winter in macau now!!..so I’ve got an excuse to burn some of my body fat this time.

This trip was an eye opener for me especially the number of casinos on the island, and seems like gambling is their favourite past time as there are free shuttle buses 24/7 to the various casinos. I felt like a "sua gu" when I stepped into the Sand casino..its really huge and guess what, the min bet is HKD300!!! I didnt even bring that much to do my shopping!!! And bet many of you didnt know, macau is one-third the size of singapore, and you can probably tell from the number of mcdonald and KFC outlet on the island (12 Mcdonald and only 1 KFC!!!)

On grand prix, sadly I dunno how to appreciate cars just going round and round, just like I dun understand the game of 22 men after 1 ball. Its super noisy and its really deafening to the ear. Eventhough we got pretty good seats (just at the starting point), to me, there wasnt really much to watch. But what is most interesting abt the race is that the track that used is the normal expressways and road in macau unlike F1 races that are conducted in a circuit.

The program we have lined up for the delegates were pretty good, at least I got to places like the macau tower, their go-kart track, experience portuguese culture (like their music, dance and food). Made friends with some delegates who graciously offered to show me around their province if I ever go visiting. ^_^

Overall, its a good experince…wonder where will my next job bring me to???
