My husband and I welcomed the new year at Macau. We booked a hotel and stayed a night. Here's our video of our day and the countdown! :)
Happy New year everyone!

Thank you series: Christmas day trip
'The place - Jack and the Magic Pea'
'Blueberry cheesecake, Chocolate mousse and Mint tea'
'Electronic waste bin, Toilet cover plus . . . free movie!'
We also walked around to discover a few more places we've never seen before. It's our 4th month in Zhongshan and we are now seeing more of the place.

Thank you series: My first Halloween in China
I spent my Halloween weekend quite differently this year.
1. I was not able to go and visit my mom's in her garden resting place so I just lit a candle for her in our veranda and said my prayers. In the same way, I am not able to bond with my dad, since this is usually our 'day off' to bond and go to my moms grave.
2. I wasn't also able to meet up with my old friends, usually I also get to meet them since they also a a family, parent or grandparent, buried in the same cemetery were my mom is.
3. I was not able to see the entertaining mall decors and Trick or Treat costumed kids at the mall.
But,
1. I shared the moment with my hubby. This is our first Halloween as husband and wife. Soon it will also be our first Christmas together.
2. I got to attend another feast here in China. It's a thank you ceremony complete with dances and acrobatic performances. I was told that it was a celebration hosted by a realty company, to give thanks for their successful projects and to bless the new project they are going to build. I guess, one of the best ways to ward off bad karma or spirits is with a celebration.
3. We also spent a Halloween evening in Alex bar. It was pleasant and fun to see people in wild and wacky costumes. Bumped into a group of young expats on the bus already dressed for the fun evening.

Thank you series: Enjoying a one week holiday!
October 1 is National holiday in China. And for a week since Monday September 29, I have been enjoying lots of quality and fun time with my hubby. So far, in the last three days we've been able to:
watch an Audry Hepburn classic - Sabrina,
swim for half a day,
shop at Zhu Hai with friends,
and get a superb two hour foot and back massage!
So far, so good. Life is great! My marriage is growing stronger as we adjust to our roles of husband and wife. Of course we do have a couple of arguments and hurts here and there, but nothing a major that an hour of loving and honest communication won't solve.
By the way, here are some photos of our visit to Zhu Hai yesterday.
"Breakfast with the gang before boarding the bus."
"Gong Bei Port, the boundary between Macau and China. Shopping area 'ala Divisoria' is found in the basement. :) "
"The Clock Tower in Gong Bei."
"Love my new (unbranded) shoes and (Mango) shorts. Mango was on sale and got a really good deal with my shorts! Maybe I should have gotten a few more?"
