The Sea of Pearl, The Land of Casino .. Part 1

Crazy us do crazy things together for countless time … and this is just one of them =p
Going to the airport at 3.30am and we are rushing to finish the 1000 pieces puzzle from 11.30pm.
While I dozed off at around 1am++ dear only managed to catch 40 winks at about 2am++.
Me woke up feeling dizzy and nausea. Wasn’t sure whether because lack of sleep or too excited or the muscle relaxant I took for my neck ache. Dear made a cup of hot chocolate for me but it ended being thrown up by my naughty stomach.














Upon reaching LCCT, we went to collect our boarding pass and check in our luggage. Sausage McMuffin with egg was never this nice. Like a kiddie taking plane for first time, I was restless at the boarding area. Once out of the boarding gate, I was snap-happy












The propeller of Air Asia airbus ... capture while ascending the flight of stairs.














Sleek interior with sleek air stewardess.
This is the stewardess that showed us how to put on seat belts, how to use the life jacket and where to exit for emergency.
Up on the plane, I was up looking out from the window when the plane takes off. It was a magnificent feeling … like a dream come true. I was overly ambitious hoping to finish 2 magazine on the plane but ended sleeping after a few flips of pages =p















at the break of daylight ... very hard for me to describe how beautiful is the sky =)














Watching the sky turning bright is amazing.
Without food on Air Asia, clouds do look a lot like white candy floss outside the window.
I woke up many times fearing that I miss the beautiful clouds outside.














I didn’t dare to blink my eyes when the aeroplane land because I do not want to miss a thing. Macau landing strip is superb.. like a four lane highway, sea on both sides.














Walking towards the arrival gates, this very colourful ferris wheel greeted us. See the guard there… he was asking us not to take photo ...hehe =p Breaking the rules even before entering Macau =p

The city

The Harbour

The people live






















I only knew there’s a place by the name Zhu Hai (literally translated from Mandarin as Pearl Sea) the moment I cross the border. This is how Zhu Hai look like from the border.













Streets on Zhu Hai are full of fair beautiful maidens. I was so worried ah…me sure lose hands down =p












‘Zhu Hai Yue Nui’ – the very touching love story about a girl who live in the sea fall in love with a fisherman. For they are deeply in love, ‘Yue Nui’ beg the Sea God Mother to be able to be together with the fisherman on land. Seeing the sincerity & pureness of their love, Sea God Mother gave ‘Yue Nui’ 10 pearls that must always be together. Any missing pearl will cost ‘Yue Nui’ her life.
However, jealous villagers who soon found out about a fisherman falling in love with ‘Yue Nui’ weren’t too happy. They villagers kept insisting that the fisherman should ask for a pearl from ‘Yue Nui’ to prove her love to him. They created many rumours about ‘Yue Nui’.
Fisherman blinded by rumours, requested for just a pearl from ‘Yue Nui’. She explained that she’ll need all 10 pearls in order to be with him. Fisherman under the influence of villagers was too disappointed with ‘Yue Nui’.
‘Yue Nui’ decided if 1 pearl is all fisherman want from her to prove her love, that’s what she’ll give him. Fisherman realised how true is ‘Yue Nui’ love for him but it was too late… really too late.
It was believe that someone sighted ‘Yue Nui’ offering pearls in the ‘Zhu Hai’ (Pearl Sea) and Fisherman went up the highest peak in Zhu Hai hoping to see ‘Yue Nui’ but he never saw her anymore.
















‘Yue Nui’ monument is at the sea while Fisherman monument is on Zhu Hai highest peak. Some say it shows just how deep and how high is their love for each other.
