Day 2 : Toured the Wynn, Macau

We had the opportunity to make a house tour (or hotel tour) of the newest hotel in Macau.

Wynn Macau! It was a gorgeous property, with loads of American Culture fused with the Macau / Chinese ways of things. Check out our House Tour of Wynn Macau!!!


This is the infamous musical fountain right in front of the Lobby.
It plays every 15 minutes, and the fountain & lights dance according to
melodious music that's being played.
[There are two Videos at the bottom of this post - scroll down to watch]

Rather unique, when you enter into the Wynn Macau's Lobby,
you will overlook into the Pool area.

And I guess with CNY coming up, they have nice red lanterns up on the decor.
Uniquely ... there's two camels standing on the water piece.
Hmm ... why camels? (Feng Shui?)


This is their beautiful lobby. (esp if you love red)
The chandelier is TOTALLY HOT RED!
Yups... not coloration done on the photography.
[L ro R] Jess, Lim, Anne, Cindy, Teh, me ]

And now we begin our House Tour of the Wynn Macau.
We were told that Wynn Macau has over 600+ rooms, and
its only like One Tenth of the Wynn in Las Vegas!!

Join us as we toured a Deluxe Room and some Suites



This is their typical Deluxe room. Its about 56 sq metres.
Nice room with twin beds, spacious bedroom and bathroom.



This was the "radio" provided in the room.
Sure tops all the "radio" in the hotel rooms in Malaysia!!!!



This is the Deluxe Room Console.
It has a Clock with Alarm
and the ability to electronically control the sheer curtains, the drapes
and the lights in the room.
[If u think this is cool, wait till u see the Console in the Suite!]


I simply like the Glass Cube where the Lamp sits on.
So so different!



I like the fact that the Electronic Safe (they are using elsafe)
is embeded into the wall of the wardrobe.
Saves a lot of space and makes it looks real neat!
[Shows that they give thought in the designing of their wardrobes!]

I just simply LOVE the Door.
Its so so HUGE!! Its gigantic. Its like an XXL American Size
I'm already over six foot, and the door towers above me.


Do you like the hotel room corridor?
Sure is nice, well lit and creates a nice environment.



This is the sofa seating in the 1-Bedroom Suite.
U seem to see a same trend .. 'bright RED' colors all over the hotel!



Couldn't resist taking a shot of this cool Nakamichi Player in the Suite.



Interestingly enough, their ceilings in the main hall
are covered with Mirrors.



This is the Bedroom of the 2-Bedroom Suite.
Nice room, and you can see two walkways on the Left and Right.
Its made for privacy of a His / Her bathroom on the Left and Right.
And when you walk to the end of the bathroom, you can meet in the Shower.


This is one side of the Bathroom.
Cool bathtub isn't it?


Here's a closer look .. yup .. its equipped with jacuzzi!!



Just like this gold plated sink in the bathroom! :)



This is the Main Hall of the 2-Bedroom Suite.
Check out the LCD TV .. its 62 inches wide! Awesome!!
Do you like the decor .... pumpkin based lampstands!?!


This is the Suite Console I was telling u about earlier.
Isn't it super cool. Touch Screen!!
In English & Chinese Language! How SUPER!

Finally the last shot of the Bedroom.
I simply love the fact that the LCD TV can be
activated automatically, and it just SLIDES Up at the edge of the Bed!
Superly Awesome!! :)

Day 2 : 2008 Olympics Symbol in Senado Square, Macau

The Beijing Olympics 2008 are around the corner. And we had a pleasant surprise when we were at the Senado Square in Macau. I trust one of their promotional efforts was to feature the following Olympic Symbols for China.

Since I don't read Chinese, I wasn't sure if this was a competition on who will design and create the best Olympic Symbol for Beijing Olympics 2008.

Check it out .. i am sure you will be facsinated like me.


This was a Banner introducing this Exhibition.



As you can see there were many many Olympic Symbols.
I only picked those that i liked!! Hope u like the ones i picked.


The exhibition was out in the open at Senado Square.
And the Exhibits were in twos .. and it went on for quite a bit!

I like this Olympic Symbol, the chrome setting
surrounding the man with the Olympics symbol on top.




This was really unique too. Chrome figurines running thru a boxed frame.




Here's another view of it from the Front. Cool huh?


This was kinda weird. All the people's heads stuck together!
Hmm .. a Ball of Head?
Ball of People?
People with Same Mind Stick Together?
(as in Birds of the Feather Stick Together)


This was super unique. You couldn't see the figurine's face.
His back was to you, and he was looking into a concave mirror.

As you can see i had to be creative to take this shot! :)



Umm .. this was a team of Basket ball players
dunking the basket ball into the Hoop.
Strangely they were stacked on top of each other!


Umm .. as u can see i like Chrome.
But have no clue what these are!!
The Sydney Opera House ? hmm ...


Okies... a man flying off a horse with a Mc D's background.
Yup...the Mc D's background is focus of attention :)


I like this shot .. this super thin figurine
.......... Running ........



This is just CUTE!!



I couldn't remember why i took this shot.
Guess it was uniquely different from the rest!


This was quite spooky.
Three Men, in dark gowns doing a kung fu stance!!

I like this .. a guy and girl holding up the Olympics Rings!!




Two ladies Kung Fu-ing around a round base.

As i said, I hope u enjoyed the Olympic Symbols i chose from the Senado Square. :)

Day 2 : Morning Visit to St Paul's Ruins & Senado Square

It is so irritating that there is no free wireless connection in Macau. Or none that I could find that is.

Lim brought me out walking in the early morning of our second day. Promised me a great local breakfast if I followed him out.



We passed the Mc Donald's in Macau .. but he said .. nope this is not it!!


And off we went ...... in search of this awesome breakfast trip at seven in the morning. And guess what he bought .... MAN THOU! (or Pau)


Reached this square in Macau called the “Pan Sui Chi” … which in direct translation means Fountain Pond! [Senado Square]



Anyway … we saw the Oldest Post Office in Macau .. which dates back to more than a hundred years old. Curiously the superstructure stood the test of time and its still standing strong in the square.


Apparently the above alley is very famous for HK actors and actresses when they do filming. But no such recollection of this alley. Rings a Bell anyone?


There was also an exhibition of the Beijing Olympics 2008, which really had interesting symbolic models of the forth coming Olympics. [Click on the Link, cos tons of Photos]

Lim took me on a wild goose chase. We were suppose to go to the St Paul’s ruins. But after walking like 20 minutes and all UPHILL!! (Mind you the uphill was like 60 degrees gradient) with uneven foot steps, which made the journey even tougher.


Lim kept saying, yeah this way, lets follow the students (tons of school children walking to school) as he remembered a school next to the St Paul Ruins. Believe it or not, we took the wrong turn and ended up at the Macau Fortress. Which was like 100 feet higher than the St Paul’s ruins.

I was complaining non stop (due to the high gradient of steps) and the wrong turn, but Lim just said .. check out the view …. Isn’t it gorgeous?


When you look thru the eyes of the Telescope ...


Well the air was cold … it should have been at least 13 degrees Celsius, and we were on top of a hill. Nevertheless the view was breathtaking as you could see the whole of Macau from atop the Fortress.



It was also at the Fortress, where we found the mistake of the wrong turn. So Lim said … “See you can see the St Paul’s ruin from another angle!”
“Apa-lah!!!” Was my retort!

The above picture is the infamous St Paul's Ruins of Macau.

That's the place we were supposedly to be walking to!!!!



See a Canon... yes .. confirm its a Fortress!!

Hmm from the top of the Fortress, i saw this guy

doing exercise balancing on a Wired Fence.

Wow!!! .. talk about good stomach muscles!


We passed the Macau Museum ... and then

Finally, after checking out the entire Fortress, we journeyed to the ruins,

Took a couple of pics like a typical tourist.



And then finally made our way to the Wong Chi Kei Noodle shop. We had great won ton noodle (mine dry, Lim’s soup based) and it was sumptuous. The founder of Wong Chi Kei learnt the skills of making noodles from the Hua-Yuan master in the 1940s in Canton.


So if you guys ever make it to Macau, go to the Senado Square
be sure to look for Wong Chi Kei Noodle Shop!!!!
