Status: still apartment hunting.

----

OK. I really wanted to write about the move -- new beginnings, experiences, house-hunting etc but the super humid climate and extra large sun (so it seems) has zapped all my energy and fried my brain cells. So leaving some pictures to do the talking.


The first meal, a classic: Tempted to go for comfort golden M meal but resisted the urge and got myself into a HK-style noodle eatery at Senado Square.


Loads of real lemon: Same as in HK, the iced lemon tea comes with 3-4 slices of lemon that really makes an iced lemon tea, unlike in Singapore.


There's still Yaohan!: Never thought I'd be seeing a crowd waiting to get into New Yaohan, the only major departmental store in Macau, but I did. And I joined the crowd in waiting, at 5 minutes to the 11am opening time. Shocked I was. 11AM OPENING TIME?!?!


Really really real almond cookies: Skeptical when Pris -- who came over from HK to help me in my apartment hunting -- decided that I must try this; how good can almond cookies be? Now I'm a convert. So good, my eyes widened in appreciation as I took my first bite into the fresh warm taste and scent of almonds in the cookie.


St Paul's Ruins: Must be the most recognizable structure in Macau. Not interested but climbed it in our fatigued and hot state to get to the other end to get cabs. No cabs. Darn. Pris and I then walked all the way down again and back to the entrance to Senado Square to hop onto a bus. There's no word to describe our "beyond exhaustion" in the humid heat of Macau. Really none.
