The Venetian, Macao

During my 2 weeks in Hong Kong, my family took a quick 2 days trip to Macao. Stayed a night at the The Venetian. The place is huge! And to think that when we have overseas visitors coming in, we proudly show off our 'self rated 6 star' Empire Hotel. If hotels can crap, i think probably Empire would probably be the crap of The Venetian. (Sorry Ms. Pirinyuang!) Haha.


The place is so huge that they also have their own artificial sky and clouds inside. I wonder if it'll ever produce artificial rain and sun every now and then? Haha. And of course, a whole area of shops. Came across this Manchester United official shop which was glowing red.

Speaking of which, we also have one official Manchester United shop also mah. It's in Yayasan, Hua Ho Sports Center section. :P But, i'm no fan of football so yeah, just thought this shop was pretty cool cause of it's blinding red.

Oh, oh and this! I've always been somewhat fascinated by these human sculptor thingy. Like one minute they'll be a statue, then the next they'll just move a bit. And they're being paid for just standing around...literally. I think soon enough, our local government will have jobs like these for our fellow countrymen. Soon...


And then, there's Fatburger.

Which the food sucked...haha.

I just thought the logo looked cool. Speaking of being cool, i think this dude on Youtube's pretty cool. Haha.



Hahahaha.

APL*ITUNES 866-712-7753 on your bank statement? YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.

[Update 17Jan2018] - Wow. To think that 8 years later, this scam is still going on as I'm still getting the odd notifications every now and then with comments on this post. TLDR: If you guys stumble upon this random site because of the APL*ITUNES 866-71-2-7753 charge on your credit/debit card, call your bank immediately and report it as a fraud.  If you have an iTunes account and have any bank cards associated with it, you might wanna beware. I normally check my bank accounts every now and then just to be sure that there's nothing fishy going on in there and of course at the same time, just like many of you *secretly* hoping that someone might accidentally transfer $1 million to my account as well. I've had a few cases of credit card frauds happening and so far, banks have been very cooperative with disputing transactions and issuing me a new card (especially my local bank, SCB Brunei. Well done!). So today, i checked one of my overseas bank account and found out tha

Foreigner marrying a local Bruneian. A step by step guide.

Time to put this blog to good use again. Seeing that there's hardly any resources online for what one should do when they have decided to marry a local Bruneian, here's what I can tell you in a quick summary.  Brace yourself.  Especially when dealing with the immigration department officials and the paperwork requirement. Despite being married for two years now, whenever I have to make a trip to the immigration to renew Calla's visa, my mood instantly turns sour and I just rage mentally. The repetitive paperwork submissions and the waiting time is absolutely ridiculous and if you're unlucky, you'll be greeted with a " Nombor sudah habis " (Out of queuing numbers) just as you arrive at the immigration which pretty much means, screw you - try your luck again tomorrow! And I shit you not, in order to secure a queue number in the morning, one have to start queuing in line by 6 am at the very least while those working at the immigration department is prob

"You have a lucky face" / "You are lucky" scam.

Image
Re-posting this from my status update on Facebook which I shared the other day on a rather unique encounter.  --  On my way to my car after work today (while doing my Pokestop runs) an Indian fella stopped me on my track and said "You're very lucky. You have 3 lines on your forehead I can see that is luck".   That obviously stopped me for a bit as he approached me and said "You wanna know how I know? I can tell people's fortune. You wanna know your fortune?" Curious me nodded yes while my brain let out a big sigh and told me "That's it, you're gonna fall for this somehow." This "fortune t eller" proceeds to make small talks about how I'm happy but I'm only 40% happy while scribbling on his notepad discreetly. He then crumpled up the paper and made me hold it in my first and said "What I wrote in there, you don't know right?" (cues my no shit, Sherlock! moment) Then he started asking me to pick a n
