2 more days free from work `coz of this whooping cough. This trip was good, except for the fact that it ended on a bad note, with my cough worsening and keeping everyone awake at night and my sister developing high fever.
Anyway, this trip is rather fulfilling, and that is saying a lot considering that I wasnt looking forward to it at all. It might even be perfect if it wasnt for some party-pooper moments. The service standards dropped slightly and I can hear the Singaporean aunties complaining about every little thing. I have to say some of the complaints are quite unreasonble. Almost felt ashamed to be a Singaporean y'know.
Activities on board was basically camwhoring, taking pictures with gorgeous ladies from Ukraine and Belarus (!!), movie marathon, watching performances at The Lido(my favourite place!), sauna-ing,jacuzzi-ing, karoke-ing and eating and eating and eating. Oh! And we got the corner cabin! Which means that its ultra big. (((:
So spacious!
T`was lucky to catch movies I wanted to watch but didnt get to! Like
Mamma Mia,
The Dark Knight,
My Mom's New Boyfriend and
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. I think I irritated quite a few with my persisitent coughing. :/ Welcome performance was okay, although I prefer previous ones. There were more dancing. Eh the good part was being able to take a picture with the cast of
The Musicians of Bremen, with me beside the beautiful lead! (((:
YAY!
Sauna and jacuzzi were fresh experiences which werent particularly effective as we only stayed in the sauna room for a little while `coz we couldnt stand the heat. Jacuzzi was just the perfect excuse to finally make use of my swimming costume. XD
After Jacuzzi!
Oh let me mention this embarrassing experience at karaoke-ing. I selected
Dancing Queen and it was minutes before our turn when I suddenly felt uncertain about the tune. Then there was this group of Causacian ladies hyping up the whole place with Wannabe and some-mamma-mia-song-which-title-I-have-forgotten. Being in an open karaoke place and hence vulnerable to stares from the other passengers, we did the stupidest thing ever. The moment the emcee announced "Now it's time for table 2 with Dancing Queen", we ran out of the lounge. O.o I can still remember the bartender's bewildered look when we ran away. LOL. I bet we made the caucasians' day as they got to sing the song for us.
The mascots!
Photo at entrance! The two ladies are dancers.
Sis and I went exploring the ship and took random pictures. (((:
The reception.
At Celebrity Disco!
With Joey!
Gosh I forgot about the tour on shore. Penang first! The adults went to sign up for the temple trip, much to our consternation. But it wasnt a fruitless trip! The adults got their very much yearned after Tao Sa Pia, quite reknown in Penang I heard and my sis and I bought a cap each. ((:
Mine cost RM 10 bucks! Quite good quality too!
The sunglasses cost RM 10 bucks too! After haggling of course. Haha I can hear Yizhen sighing now.
Phuket next! My 834798694635th time at Central Festival. But the best part was Patong Beach! And OMG I can seriously shop whole day with my cousin! I wanted this dress and she helped me push the price from 650 baht to 300 baht! She said you can haggle minimum 50 percent of the price because you are supposed to. Like woah. So ignorant tourists like me would actually get cheated `coz we would just take the set price. A pity we couldnt tour the whole street or I would have gotten more bargains.
Us at Wang Talang, this jewel making factory.
As usual, the rest of the pictures on Facebook! Medicine is taking effect.
So spacious!
YAY!
