These poor koalas look kinda dull. Didn't want to use grey felt, so I chose brown instead but I think that didn't help either. Anyway, I thought the little koala looks quite cute with those tiny eyes. :D

Hedgehog Again
I've made another hedgehog - with pink 'spikes' this time. The hedgehog craze continues... :)

Pink Crab
This is my zodiac sign ("HORRERscope").
Sewed this to depict my current mood: Crabby. Blogger is NOT being co-operative at all these days. First it does not allow my blog readers to leave comments, then it bans me from uploading pictures, & then I keep getting error message pop-ups, etc. I guess it's hinting that I should stop blogging. :(

Trip: Macau (3) - Casinos, Cobblestone Paths & Buildings
CASINOS
There are so many casinos in Macau. Wonder what Singapore would be like when our own casinos are ready. Shudder...
See that shimmering gold building? That's the new Casino Lisboa owned by tycoon Stanley Ho.
The round, birdcage-like building in the foreground is the old Casino Lisboa.
Another Casino - Venetian.
This mall is inside the Venetian. Wonder why they make it so dark...Makes me feel sleepy walking in there.
You can even take a ride on the gondola if you don't feel like walking.
COBBLESTONE PATHS
I bought my almond biscuits at this shop. The tour guide said this shop sells the best almond biscuits in Macau. Well, I just have to take his words for it.
BUILDINGS
Well, that's it. This is the last batch of photos fom my trip. Hope you've enjoyed them.

Trip: Macau (2) - Macau Tower
Looking at the Macau Tower from afar on a cloudy & rainy day.
Panning to the right - this was what I saw.
Panning to the left, there's Macau cityscape.
On Macau Tower.
Looking down at the street below from the Macau Tower. Legs getting a bit wobbly...
Visitors who are brave enough may want to do the bungee jump or "Skywalk" (walk along the beams on the exterior of the tower). Please remember this tower is very high & windy!
As it was raining that day, this brave lady staff was busy mopping up outside so that it's not too slippery to walk on. I admire her for her bravery (you'll never find me standing on that ledge!). Would you dare to take up this job even with the safety harness on?
Here you can see they are actually preparing for a bungee jump. The person doing the jump is a brave lady from a Malaysian TV Crew. She was smiling before & even after the jump (we met her downstairs after her jump). Brave gal!

Trip: Macau (1) - The Ruins of St. Paul's, Senado Square & A-Ma Temple
THE RUINS OF ST. PAUL'S
The Ruins of St. Paul's are regarded as the symbol of Macau, making it one of the must-see sites there. It's actually the remains of what was originally the Cathedral of St. Paul, a 17th century Portuguese cathedral dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle. After restoration work (from 1990 to 1995), the back side of the Ruins of St. Paul's was turned into a museum.
You'll see this area when you look down from the Ruins. You can get some yummy almond biscuits there (see shop with the red signboard at bottom right of photo).
Saw this lotus plant by the side of the Ruins. Can't resist taking some pictures. I thought the flower & leaf look pretty in the rain.
SENADO SQUARE
The Senado Square is paved with a wave-patterned mosaic of coloured stones, created by Portuguese experts. Die-hard shoppers can browse around the many shops here.
A church.
A-MA TEMPLE (妈阁庙)
Macau's name is derived from A-Ma-Gau or Place of A-Ma. The A-Ma Temple, built in 1488, is dedicated to the goddess of seafarers and fishermen, Mazu (妈祖). It's one of the oldest and most famous temples in Macau.

Trip: Hong Kong (3) - Wong Tai Sin Temple
We visited the Wong Tai Sin Temple (黃大仙祠), one of the most famous shrines in HK, famed for the many prayers answered. To get there, we took the MTR to Wong Tai Sin station. Once out of the MTR, you need not worry about which direction to go as the smell of burnt incense will lead you to the temple. :)
These shops, located outside the temple, sell incense sticks/papers & everything that devotees need for praying.
Behind the temple, there is a garden.
Have you seen a loquat (枇杷) tree before? I've only eaten the fruits before and this is the first time I see the actual tree.
