• …hell week begins…

  Wow, where does the time go?! I can’t believe my time here is winding down so quickly! I’ve three finals this week, and it doesn’t look like it’ll be pretty, but I guess I need to just take things one at a time…

  I went to Macau again this weekend, this time with my girls: Shirley, Daisy, Jenn, and Nikie. On Saturday, we explored Senado Square a bit, then headed over to Taipa Island to have some authentic Portugese food. We each ordered an entree and had a wonderful dinner. We heard that they were famous for a couple of dishes, so we totally decided to give it a try. The African Chicken wasn’t all that, the Portugese grilled steak was all that and more, as was the curry crab and fried clams. After dinner, we all headed over to the New Century hotel and casino to see a show and to gamble. The show was incredibly…TRAGIC!!! All the dancers were Russian, and could NOT move at all! It was beyond white-trash-Reno-tacky, which I didn’t think was possible. Thankfully, they played some good songs, and we all decided to just not pay attention to the dancers and just enjoy the music instead, hehe. Oh well, it was a free show, so I guess we shouldn’t expect too much from it, right?

  After the show, we all decided to try our hand at some gambling. We hit the black jack tables and did quite well. We basically broke even, then left to explore some of the nightlife and the Sands casino. The nightlife was non-existent there, but the Sands was cool. The table minimums were too expensive at the Sands, so we decided to play the slots instead. Shirley and Nikie got lucky and left in the plus, whereas Jenn and I left in the red, hehe. Ah well, it was fun. It totally made me want to get back to the States to go to Reno or Vegas though.

  I left Macau after breakfast this morning, and met up with Jason and his friend to go to Lamma Island afterwards. I hadn’t been to Lamma Island before, but it was quite nice. I have to say that it was really cool to be around gay friends again. Not that my straight friends here aren’t a barrel of fun and laughs, but there’s just something about being around other gay friends that make me feel at home again. We had a blast just walking and talking about guys that we think are cute, shopping, clothes, more bois, educational systems, etc. I miss the flames, hehe…

  The humidity has hit. It’s quite hot now. I don’t like it. Humid weather = more mosquitoes. More mosquitoes = Ty getting bit a lot. On just Friday night alone when I was hanging out with Keith, I got bit a total of 9 times. I am soooooo not pleased with this. I hate mosquitoes! Again I ask, what are mosquitoes good for?! They are carriers of dengue fever, they’re utterly irritating, and they suck! I really think we should just kill them all! Who’s with me?!?!?!?!?!
