HOLYdays // Day 5 : Macau Tower

This was the last day of my HOLYdays.

I moved to Beverly Hotel from Crown Hotel because Beverly Hotel is near a lot of restaurants, so we could find food easily. And the important, the hotel is near Grand Lisboa hotel, one of huge and cool hotels in Macau. For me, the best hotels in Macau are Grand Lisboa, Venetian, Galaxy, and Wynn. All of Macau's hotels are nice, altough the rooms are small, but the interior is still great. Macau is so talented of interior design.

So for the second day in Macau, I visited Macau Tower. Macau Tower is near Grand Lisboa hotel, you can see Macau Tower from Grand Lisboa. To arrive at Macau Tower, you can take the shuttle bus from a bus stop near Grand Lisboa, but for this bus you should pay which I forget how much it was. I think Macau Tower looks like Namsan Tower in Seoul and Sky Terrace in Hong Kong, because they'r similiar : we can see the most beautiful view of the city from the highest place ( although I've never been in Namsan Tower Seoul, I just saw it from k-drama hehehe ). In Macau Tower, there are restaurants on the highest floor so you can have lunch / dinner, mini casino ( and still, you're not allowed to enter if you're not 21 ), and a medium mall beside the tower. So you can stay longer in there, maybe spend along the day at Macau Tower. Anyways I was so excited when I was in Macau Tower because Running Man crews've visited Macau Tower a year ago. Because of their show, I know about Macau Tower, the bungee jump, sky walk and many more. You can see their cool adventure here.
So while I was waiting fo the bus, I could see the Macau Tower from here.
Well, you can see the awkward moment behind me... lol

The pass. HK $135 = 126.000 IDR for adult ( anyways sorry for my bad nail ). Before entering the lift to go to the highest floor, you should pay first. There were 3 kinds of tickets you can choose : ticket just for going around the Macau Tower, ticket for going around the Macau Tower + do sky walking, ticket for going around the Macau Tower + do bungee jumping, & ticket for going around the Macau Tower + do bungee jumping + sky walking. When I was here, I chose the first ticket because I was and still afraid of the high lol. Anyways you can have dinner or lunch even breakfast in here with the best scenery of Macau. I didn't take much photos about the sky walk and bungee jump because we aren't allowed to take photos or take video.

Ps. You'll be soooo popular when you do bungee jump because other visitors've prepared their camera to snap you when you fall down lol.


The creepy transparent floor. I freezed to the max when I was standing on that floor to take this photo.
Sunset wannabe.

HOLYdays // Day 4: Venetian Hotel Macau


Venetian Hotel is the one of the biggest hotel in Macau. In Venetian Hotel, the biggest casino and the biggest mall are in there. Its a perfecto hotel, in the morning until to afternoon you can shopping in the mall, in the evening you can go to the casino, duplicate your money here, and after that you can go to your room in the hotel to take a rest, what a great combo. Venetian hotel's interior concept is Venecia, all of the interiors are sooo awesome and amazing, they also have fake river and fake sky on the roof, same like the real Venecia. They have a huge artistic painting on the wall.


ABOUT VENETIAN HOTEL :
  • You can come here by Venetian Hotel's shuttle bus and they are free. All of Macau's shuttle buses are free, but the destinations are just for hotels in Macau, Macau harbour and Macau airport.
  • You wanna visit the casino but you'r not 21 ? Bring your makeup tools and your mature clothes. All of the casinos in Macau don't allowed teen to enter the casinos, I dont know why. There are the casino guides in front of the casino's doors so they'll stop you if you'r not 21 ( they are so clever, they know your ages from your faces ). If you lie to them about your age, they'll ask your passport or your ID card, and if you can't proove it, you should go out. So here is my tips. I passed many doors without anyone stop me because I wore makeup and mature clothes and cool sunglasses. You can see my outfits in these photos. And the most important, don't look at the casino guide's eyes or be so panic when you enter the door, just act like you'r really 21.
  • Bring a lot of money. Because Macau's food are expensive, they are HK $40 - HK $100 ( Macau accepts Hong Kong's money, but Hong Kong doesn't accept the Macau's money ). In the mall there are Zara, Tiffany & Co, Hush Puppies, Millies, Stradivius, and many more branded clothes. So you should bring a lot of money to ready to shopping.
  • There is a photobox in the first floor in the hotel. You can memorize your moments in there and its free ! Just get in, and choose your favorite backgrounds, they are Venetian hotel's photo and Kungfu Panda's characters. So after you take the photo, they'll send it to your email but they don't print it I don't know why maybe because when I was here, the photo papers were out of stocks ?
Sneak peek the casino and the huge painting on the top.
Yes, we can tear up the hotel by this traditional boat. Absolutely, pay first. I didn't ride it because of my time so I don't know the cost. If you ride it, the rower'll sing a beautiful voice while they row. ( Ps. They should be in American Idol, not here ! Believe me, their voices are amazing, so something ! People said, they're from Filipine ). The rowers'll take you photos, so go to the souvenir photo shop to take that photo after finish the little journey. You can choose which one do you like and then they'll print it for you, with a special frame. Anyways the rowers are so friendly. I stopped at a spot to take photos, when one of the rowers were rowing the boat. He looked at me and my boyfie, smiled to us, and then he said to my boyfie, " You're lucky to have her." OMG I was so embrassed after he said that, even I did't say 'Thank You' because I was too excited lol. What a kind guy !
The foodcourt. The food's price start from 30 HK$ - 150 HK$. Macau is known as expensive city.

HOLYdays // Day 3 : Ladies Market, Mong Kok Centre

Ladies' bad habbit : SHOPPAHOLIC

Surely every girl wants to make herself more beautiful and cuter with their lovely clothes, heels, acceccourises and many more. Are you shoppaholic ? Actually I am bad shoppaholic, but thanks God Im not a spoiled child who always spend my daddy's money to buy the branded . I love shopping but I know the limit. Of course everyone loves branded things, me too, but Im fine and very okay if I can't get them. KW is still good because they have great quality like branded ( Yap, I always buy KW things, but anyone can't realize if I don't let you all know kekeke. )

Anyways, what is your favorite shopping centre ? My favorite shopping centre was Mangga Dua mall ( but I still love Mangga Dua hehe ) in Jakarta, and now favorite shopping centre is... Mongkok Centre, Hong Kong !!!


ABOUT MONGKOK CENTRE
  • Mongkok Centre is in Mongkok Street. To arrive at there, you can go there by Hong Kong MTR and the destination is Mongkok. I forget which one is exit door you should enter, but you can find your destination by asking the MTR operator or read the map on the wall, the main key is Ladies Market
  • Bring so much money baby. Mongkok Centre is heaven for shoppaholics, they sell a lot of dresses, gowns, tops, skirts, necklaces, bracelets, make up tools, flat shoes, boots, heels, shoes from your favorite shop like Converse, Bodyshop, Inisfree, Etude House, and many more. Every your step, you'll find shop, shop, and shop, and you'll not stop shopping.
  • Mongkok Centre is heaven of food too. Mongkok centre is not only shopping centre but it sell food too for your snack time or your dinner so don't worry to be hungry. Anyways, try the delicious noodle in Mongkok, I forget the lil stan's name but it's easy to find because it always crowded, full of tourist. The taste is sooooo good and the price is cheap, only 30-40 HK$ !
  • Mongkok Centre sell gadgets too. Not only fashion and food, they also sell gadgets ! What do you want ? iPhone 5s ? Galaxy Note 3 ? Galaxy Tab ?  iPad air ? They'r here in Mongkok Centre. Of course they sell original gadgets. They sell original chrager too, and battery for Samsung, and many more.
  • In Ladies Market, don't forget to bargain. Ladies Market is in the Mongkok Centre, you just can walk through the street and you'll find Ladies Market easily. Do you know Petaling Street ( China Town ) in KL, Malaysia ? Ladies Market looks like it, but they sell great quality - high quality fashion stuffeds. Ps. If the seller don't want to sell your favorite thing cheaper ( as your request price ), just leave the shop slowly, and the seller'll go after you and beg you to buy it, then you can bring it home as your request price. Hehehe.
  • Forget to bring camera ? Don't worry, in Mongkok Centre there are many freelance photographer, they'll take your photos and print them ! And the price is about HK $5 - HK $20.

when I was on my way to go to Mongkok Centre.
Say hi to Mr. Yú (Chinese called fish as Yú 鱼 )


As you can see, I bought so many fashion stuffeds like Etude House. Etude House is so suitable for me ( for 16 - 25 I think ), I bought the BB Cream Bright Fit, Oh~ m`Eye Line eyeliner, Silver Bling Bling eye stick, Juicy Pop Tube lipgloss, Rosy Tint Lips lipstick, Neon Pink Nailsplay and many more ( I got a lot of free bonuses from Etude House because I spent HK $400 for all makeup tools ! ). Anyways I bought Mineral Glow Base by Inisfree, the other korean makeup, coming up soon on my blog ! Ps. My ootd will be on the coming up soon on the blog.

Did you see a pink board written SASA at the upper left corner in previous photo ?
SASA is store like SOGO / Metro but especially they just sell makeup tools like Revlon, Maybelline, Dollywink, and many more. So if you want to see another makeup tools except Etude House or Bodyshop etc, just visit SASA and usually they give you a special price, I mean discount guys.



FACT
I couldn't find cool outfits for me when I was in Hong Kong, I mean I didn't buy any outfits. Why ? Because it was still winter, they just sold winter outfits like thick sweaters, thick coats, longjhon, stocking, and many more. I bought 1 modern coat when I was in Ladies Market, because I can't wear any thick sweater, coats, longjhon etc in my country ( you know why so I think we should not talk more about this lol ). I shopped many things like shoes, boots, bag, clutch, but I didn't buy something like shirts, t-shirt etc because I couldn't find boutiqes which sold the summer clothes. Maybe next time I should go to Hong Kong at March - May.

HOLYdays // Day 2 : Victoria Peak

Do you want to meet and take photos with your favorite celebrities ? The answer is, just visit Madame Tussauds, The Peak, Hong Kong. Do you want to see the most beautiful view in Hong Kong from the highest place ? The answer is, just visit Sky Terrace, The Peak, Hong Kong.
What is The Peak ? Why are Madame Tussauds and Sky Terrace in that place ? So lemme introduce.

The Peak is place which has lil shopping centre, restaurants, Madame Tussauds, and Sky Terrace on the peak in Hong Kong. Its like a mall, a complete mall. You'll arrive at here by vihicle like train, but they called it tram. Madame Tussauds is a place with a lot of famous celebrity and famous people's statues are in there. The statue and the real owner are so look alike, believe me. You should visit here if you come to HK, because it's like you don't go to beaches in Bali.


ABOUT THE PEAK :
  • To arrive at The Peak, you can go there by MTR first, the destination is Central then take the J2 exit. After that you can walk through Chater Garden to get to the Garden Road Peak Tram Terminus. You can go there by bus or taxi too but I've never gone there by them. I think walk by foot is good for healty lol.
  • Come here at 10 AM and leave The Peak at 9 PM. Actually they close at 10 PM, but the Peak Tram Terminus ( fanicular railway, the only way to get in to The Peak ) is soooo crowded and the queue is so long, I've waited to get in the Peak Tram for 30 minutes.
  • Wear your thickest clothes. It was so damn cold in the Sky Terrace, wth. Because Sky Terrace is the highest place in Hong Kong, so the temperature was 7-10 `C. And I didn't know about that, and stupidly I wore shorts when I was in there, and seriously I was frozen to the max =_=
  • If you want to visit The Peak + Madame Tussauds + Sky Terrace in 1, just buy the 3-in-1 combo ticket, the price is HK $320. Stupidly ( again ) I bought 1 by 1 ticket. I bought ticket to get in The Peak, and then I bought Madame Tussauds' ticket, and Sky Terrace's ticket, and I spent HK $500 for all. If only I know there was a combo ticket, I could save the money for buy some souvenirs for my besties.
  • Visit Sky Terrace at 7.30 PM - 8.30 PM. I came to Sky Terrace at 6.30 PM and there were nothing beautiful, because the sky was not too dark, and there was fogging, hell ya. But then at 7-8 PM, you'll see the most beautiful night view in Hong Kong, you'll see how awesome is the city in the evening. Anyways, they'll give you headset and something like iPod to tell you about Hong Kong view but it was useless because you'll not use them.
  • You'r not allowed to take photo with Jackie Chan statue by your own cameras. But don't worry, someone from Madame Tussaud'll take it and if you want to get the photo, but you should pay HK $100 for it. They'll take 3 photos and give you a code, and after you finish your trip in Madame Tussauds, give your code to the counter and you can choose you best photo and then they'll print it for you ( 23 x 15 cm + photo frame ).

Actually I don't know all of the celebrities in the Madame Tussauds Hong Kong because I don't like Hong Kong and Chinese's celebrities at all. But they give the information and little profile about the celebrities and let us know the celebrities' names. Madame Tussauds are in Hong Kong, Bangkok, ShangHai, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Hollywood, Washington DC and many more. Maybe if only Madame Tussauds was in Korea, I would know all of the celebrities hehehee. But I was so happy because there were hollywood celebrities too in Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, not only Asian. 

Welcome to Madam Tussauds Hong Kong
Korean must be proud, Bae Yong Jun statue is the only one Korean statue in Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, and they're really look alike ! I was so excited to take photos with him because he is one of my favorite korean actors, and he's my mom's forever love, lol. Ps. I think the statue's eyes looks too squinty, or do you think so ?
You can see how to make these statues by the pictures. 
I was so dissapointed because i couldn't take photo with Obama. If you wanna take photo with him, you should pay HK $100 and they'll print it like the Jackie Chan's. The Chinese president is too. 
This is the other of my dissapointed. Can't Bangkok make Marilyn's statue by themself ??


There're movies characters in here too, like Sun Go Kong, Bai Su Zhen, Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, Wolverine, even there are Doraemon and Hello Kitty too !


IMPORTANT
Don't leave Madame Tussauds too fast, beacause before the exit door there is a machine like ATM and someone'll be there beside the machine. When you look at her/him, she/he will come to you and will ask you some questions like : Who is your favorite statue ? Which one is the best and worst statue ? Who is the most likely statue ? Are you satisfied of our service ? Who celeberities do you want to be here ? ( I answered the best statue is Albert Einstein, the worst statue is no one, and I want BIGBANG to be here, lol ) and many more. If you answer them patienly, you'll get free souvenir from Madame Tussauds like this. Honestly I was so boring when they were asking me a lot of many questions because I wanted to go to Sky Terrace asap, but in the end I was so happy because I got this free souvenir from them, hehehehe.

Move to Sky Terrace. Do you know Namsam Tower in Seoul, South Korean ? It has something like this but they write their name and their couple on a padlock. And in Sky Terrace, The Peak, Hong Kong, you can write your love letter or your wish and it was so romantic ! Write your letter and hang it to the The Peak I Love You counter. ( Anyways I hope my letter is still hanging because at the Sky Terrace was windy when I was here T.T )

You can see the different of these photos. The first photo taken by me at 6 PM and it was still fogging, and the next photo taken by me at 7 PM, when the sky was clearly dark. So do you wanna be here ? Visit The Peak !
