back.

Oh, the cruise was fun, i guess, basically, you just slack in all ways possible.

Day 1.
Went to Harbourfront Centre with bro, ima seriously hate carrying the luggage on public transport. Then slept at one corner at Watsons there waiting for ma and those SIM colleagues of hers. When boarding time, it's the usual drill, checkpoints and all, and god knows why there are 2 picture checkpoints. Did some unpacking in our cabin, and took a few pictures.

Went to eat at their Pavilion restaurant, some kinda chinese restaurant, then when to see their drill, just teaching you wad to do and how to put on lifejackets. Met with some of my ma's colleague, one of them said that the company has some private function tomr, so asked me and bro to accompany their p6 son Jerald, or sth like that. (pronounced Gerald, nt sure bout spelling) Had our own tour round the cruise later, checking out the plaza, swimming pool, and wherever we could go, taking random pics along the way. Went to get some sea breeze, the wind just keeps blowing at you, while staring into dark skies and seas, illuminated only by signal lights on other ships. bunked in at 12 plus, me slping at the top.

Day 2.
Woke at bout 7 plus, washed up and went to eat at the Mediterranean buffet, before being left with just the two of us. bro insisted to go back to cabin, so went along. watched a little of discovery channel before managing to influence him bathe and get out of cabin. ("Room service ain't happening if you ain't out.) Went to the arcade, i guess the boy maybe there. sure enough, he is, played the arcade then went to meet up if ma the her.. other people. Saw Jerald's lil bro Shawn, lil 2 yr old kid. will prove to be one heck of a kid. went to Bella Vista, another restaurant to eat, and had my crash course into fine dining. WTHLOL. everything like also got pattern one. Shawn seemed so restless after some time, kip walking around and playing with his parents and bro.

played Taboo before the bridge tour and played a little with Shawn. Saw that we're along the straits of Malacca from the observatory and would return course at 5. had a small look into the history of the Virgo, and what the captain and the others do, taking pics along the way.

Went to change into swimming costumes and swam at the upper decks with Jerald and the others, getting used to the 20 plus degrees water after sometime. swam a few laps, and dived from one end to another. dipped into the jacuzzi later, so effing hot! dunno how my bro could just dump himself in, me and Jerald still had to slowly go in. the water is comfortable at 38 plus degrees, the constant beating water.. dipped back into the pool, so much colder than before! had fun there in various ways, diving across from one end to another in one breath, ( I barely made it.) standing broad jump into the water, climbing out of the pool without using the stairs, (it's nt so easy lor.) and spinning from one end to another. One Indian even asked if there was a name to that stroke, and i just said i made that by myself, before he went to try it. Watched Open Season in their mini cinema, quite nice ar, nvr watched it b4..

Had BBQ later at the swimming pool area, quite nice ar the food. Shawn walked up and down the stairs later, like there's a sense of accomplishment for him. Sat at some parapet after the meal, and when he came over, i just patted the parapet, then he looked up, like he wanted to sit up there. so light carrying him up! played more taboo, and took a few pics of the pool and other stuffs. watched a magician show at Galaxy Of The Stars. quite funni ar he, also pulling out a few nice tricks. played more taboo later, before eating at the Mediterranean buffet for supper.

Day 3.

Had breakfast at Bella Vista, mixture of eastern and western food. prepared to check out after that. walked about deck 13 to take some pictures. Finally managed to get to the view point. (the titantic style thing?) can't go to that edge though, but at least managed to get to there after two days.. Got back to Singapore after that, reached home by 12 plus pm...
