Terrible May 1 Labor Day in Macau

May 1 again,
another holiday,
but to the Macau citizens,
at least from what I know,
we are all scarred of the big crowd in down town area,
as in the Largo Senado area,
I see the special blocks were set up by the side of cross-road,
and the radio has announced that the Police may control the crowds entering into the area tomorrow.

What a holiday?
imagine,
it usually takes you to finish the walking by 5 minutes,
with the tremendous and overloaded mainland visitors,
we may have to spend 30 minutes to get through!

Useless plastic and hotline service

Recently don't like to bring so much belongings with me to work,
just the basic ones,
including just one bank card and little cash.

Today during lunch hour,
went to the drug store and got some expensive items,
a long queue in front of the counter,
I presented my products when it was my turn,
and paid by the new pastic,
the store was packed with mainland customers,
by the time the machine didn't allowed my plastic,
I was told to contact the card centre.

It ended up I got unsuccessful connection with the operator,
I wasted 30 minutes and did nothing.

The services are actually unconvenience at all.

Woody Allen

Woody Allen is one of film's best-known figures. Writing and directing a movie almost every year since 1965, his collection ranges from comedy to the dramatic. Allen retains significant creative control over his projects, eliciting envy from almost any other film producer in Hollywood. Despite small production budgets, he also commands the ability to attract top-name talent to his films.

Woody Allen was born Allan Koningsberg on December 1, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York. As a child, he was introverted, hated school and spent most of his free time alone in his room practicing magic tricks or his clarinet. As a teen, he began his career by reading his own one-line jokes to New York columnists Walter Winchell and Earl Wilson. In 1952 he changed his name to Woody Allen.

Since that time, Allen has written over sixty movie scripts and directed over fourty films, and this does not include any of his books, plays and comedy work.

Allen continues to produce a new film a year, recently filming his latest set of films in Europe to much critical acclaim, such as 2005's Match Point with Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson.

Many fans would consider his most popular films to be Annie Hall,
Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters and Radio Days. Allen, however, has many more films to his credit. It is not generally known that he also has made several purely dramatic films, the quality of which is considered, in some cases, to be uneven and debatable.
