Eugene flew in from China ... and was ready to gamble! He even brought his own chips along :-)


Shang and Vallance flew in separately from the West Coast of the US of A! Good job, bros :-)


Jack and myself flew in from Malaysia...


Here's us ... 18 years after we first met at Oldham Hall, Singapore :-)

Air Asia AK54 : KL to Macau

Air Asia AK54
LCCT (KL) - Macau
01:30pm - 05:15pm (Flight was delayed until 02:35pm, but Air Asia had the courtesy to SMS us early in the morning ... good job!)

Looking out the window of AK54 ... shudder. Scum United!


WT pre-take off!


Maybe the vapour / condensation amused him ...


Nearing Macau...


We have landed at Macau International Airport! The runway is built on the water ... wow.


Scenes from the runway as I walked out the plane ...


J's family has arrived!

Hmm, what's in this treasure chest at the window display of LCCT (Low Cost Terminal) in KL?


Heh heh ... ISTIMEWA UNTUK LELAKI!
(Translates to SPECIAL FOR MEN!)
As seen at the airport, near the departure gate ... hmmm!



Is this meant to be the Treasure of Malaysia!!?

LCCT Low Cost Terminal - Our trip begins

We stopped by at the side of the runway en route to LCCT (Low Cost Terminal) near KLIA (KL International Airport) ...


Hmmm, hope we didn't miss our flight! That isn't our plane ... right?


Air Asia who is one of the joint sponsors of a F1 team had a racing simulator at the Airport ...


Tipping the scales ... we travelled light!
It seems AIR ASIA has a NEW policy of charging RM$5 for each check-in baggage, but we weren't charged for it. Not sure why ...
Ps. You can get a discount by doing this online when booking, at only RM$3 per piece of baggage.

Pappa Kopitiam - Pre Airport meal

Yay! We are off to Macau and Hong Kong!
Jack and his family came to pick us up to LCCT (Low Cost Terminal) on Labour Day morning ...
