  Holidays #2

  16th of December:

  Well, today is pretty sweet. I'm going over to Macau or Macao which is Asia's Las Vegas. It's a place filled with casinos owned by big American companies such as MGM, Whynn and Sands. The room we stayed at was at MGM and it was awesome! It costs 3000 Hong Kong dollars which is $423 Australian dollars. I was like sweet! The two massive beds were comfortable as ever and the bathroom was twice the size of the bathroom I have at home. I managed to bring my laptop and managed to watch The Dark Knight while having a bath. To get to Macau, you take a hydro-foil ship which kincemd of hovers above the surface of the water, I managed to get in Superclass and we got a free Jumbo Hotdog with orange juice.

  17th of December:

  Today is awesome! I finally got Uncharted 2 and a DUALSHOCK 3 controller I've been waiting to get. Back in Australia, they're both $99. For both of them, they were $690 Hong Kong dollars which is $97 AUD, I've saved pretty much half the price. So yeah, I can't wait to get back to Australia and play Uncharted & COD: MW 2 with my new DUALSHOCK.

  Holidays #1

  Wednesday-2nd

  Well today was pretty hectic! I woke up at 4 o clock and just couldn't sleep due to the excitement of my trip. I ended up watching Starship Troopers 3 and took a shower to freshen up, since we were scheduled to leave at 5:45. There was still another 50 minutes before I had to leave so I played some MW 2 and got up to rank 56. Arriving at the airport was awesome, because we checked in online and didn't have to wait in the massive queue to hand in our luggage! Sydney Airport has changed quite a bit since 2008, we can observe planes taking off and landing since there is a massive panel of glass (Around 10m) that looks directly to the runway. The plane trip was hell! I broke my PSP a few months before, so all I had was my laptop, book and also the airplane inflight entertainment. I watched 300 and some other random movies then dozed off and read Ice Station by Matthew Reilly (Popular Australian Action Writer). The food was surprisinly nice, egg omelette with sausages for breakfast and fish with potato for lunch. The landing was quite rough and just before we landed we hit large turbulence but that was fun! I had to take the bus to my hotel, and that took ages! Hong Kong's airport is on a seperate island and takes around 1 whole hour to get to the main city from the airport. The hotel room is awesome! Free broadband internet, comfy bed around 50 channels of cable TV. I also got my PSP fixed for only $350 HK dollars, and I got Assassin's Creed Bloodlines, which is pretty cool. Everything in Hong Kong is si different from Australia, and it was quite creepy at first. Now I'm starting to get used to it.

  Thursday-3rd

  Today was pretty sweet! I catched up heaps of sleep since I hardly got any the other night before. For lunch I had Yum Cha, with mates and that was fun. After that we had to get a Christmas present for my big cousin's baby son, and I saw heaps of R/C helicopters, which reminds me of buying a R/C tank that shoots BB bullets, I saw in 2007. I'll get that tank this time for sure! It's an Abram tank, and it looks awesomne, best is it shoots BB bullets from a rotating turret! I'm told I'm going on a cruise ship called Superstar Aquarius on Saturday night and Macau (Asia's Las Vegas). Macau is very strange, it's population is mainly asian but American companies such as Sands, M.G.M and the Venetian have all built massive casinos and hotels there! Its amazing. I'm still in sleep debt, so I might sleep soon!

  Last Day Of School of 09

  Well today is the last day of school for me, since I am going on holidays on Wednesday to Hong Kong to visit some friends there. I get to miss around two weeks of school and that seems pretty cool.

  However since I can't bring my Playstation over there, and lately I've been playing heaps of MW2 online, I have a feeling that I will miss playing online.

  Well today was an alright day. It ended up rainy heavily however a few things did go wrong. First of all, I had a uniform detention. I didn't even get a detention slip within the last school term and for some reason a note came around to my class saying that I had a lunch time detention to do. But I had a thought and thought even though I explain, the teacher wouldn't believe me, so I should just save my breath.

  Secondly, this guy I don't know came up to me saying random things in school today about me blocking him on some social networking site, that I don't even use. I was with my friend and I was like What! I dont even have an account!

  I always feel that whenever something really cool happens, there's always something there to keep it from going 100% smoothly. Well, anyway I'm pretty excited about leaving on Wednesday and I'm going to keep posting throughout my trip because I am going to take my ASUS netbook, about places I'm visiting and also new foods!
