HK Trip - Mixed feelings

I'll be jetting off to Macau / HK during my term break! Oct 31 - Nov 5.

I'm pretty excited about this trip partly because I've never been there before, but more importantly it will be my virgin experience with the casino!

According to the itinerary thus far, we'll be spending our last night at Macau's Holiday Inn. I'm not sure if there's a casino there, but Casino Lisboa is just right across the street! (according to jH)

There are actually plenty of casinos at Macau, and i hope we'll spend some time at the Venetian. It is afterall quite grand from various reviews I've read over the Internet.

But something to dampen this excitement would be the fact that I'm travelling during term break. I MIGHT have un-finished projects during this period, so I'll be aiming to finish all the work by end October.

Another thing is IPPT.

I've never passed my IPPT, except from a typo mistake during BMT (from 0 chin-ups to "10" chin-ups) And the requirement is to clear my IPPT window before my birthday, which happens to fall during my trip. I don't know what's the procedure if you fail or whatever, but i'm just praying I can travel.

Oh and did i mention the company I'm travelling with?! It will be jH, jH's mom and aunt. And from my side, myself, grandpa, both parents and my brother. It's a weird combination, and there are already differing opinions deciding on the hotels / rooms we will be staying in.

It will be tough work to plan an itinerary to satisfy both sides.

p/s - Will be meeting Yuanru at HK during our stay... and go walk walk, eat eat, and shop shop together!
