Cruise!!! [The Words.]

18th March '09

Reached the hawker centre at harbourfront with Alvin and had dinner there. Had rice and ice jelly..
Went to harbourfront centre and got abit lost due to the fact that we couldn't find delifrance.. =.="
In the end the delifrance was closed down lol... So that's why we couldn't find it.

Anyways, paid XianQing my $20 for class jersey and got it. Then was rotting at the queue to get into the cruise. Played psp all the way.. Took pictures too..
Then as the queue started moving, some baskets [a family who queued wrong queue tried to cut in] so we blocked them all the way.. But then couldn't block them totally.. D:
Damn those people.

What I heard from was that Mike told off some people who tried to cut queue at his class there too.. Power sia.. xD



Oh yes, after that we went through the security check and then the immigration.
Went through the long pathway towards the cruise. Along the way took pictures with an entertainer as a penguin as well as a very tall [I suppose Russian] couple who are in some costume..

Took pictures with class as well.. Then went up the ship, to our cabins, dropped our bags and set off for the Grand Piazza to gather.. Helped TR02 to take a class photo.

Saw Vivian's camera, wow quite cool leh! :D

Anyways, we're sort of helping TR02 taking pictures so when the groups were split for the guide to bring us around the cruise, we're with TR02. :D
Walked around and learnt quite abit. Like red for front of the ship, blue for the middle and green for the back, as in the carpet colour. xD

Found out where the food outlets were.

Attacked the Bella Vista for supper, it was good. Just that we had to wait for some time as we were in a large group, like 18 of us?
After that, chionged to the other food outlet, the mediterranean buffet for supper. All in an hour. :D
Food was good, I only got the desserts though.. lol

Went to the arcade and was pwned by Joanna in the game panic park. lol Too long never play le..  =x
Walked around and went up to the deck. It was shiok, seeing the huge cruise turning clockwise, and then moving off into the waters south of Singapore.

After that went to the karaoke room, where TR21 was, and heard the other guests sing some songs before deciding to go downstairs, where the Galaxy of the Stars was located.
Went in and the performers just ended their performance.. -.-" 
They got off the stage so we thought it was over.. Went over to where TR02 was at, they were having some fun themselves. xD
Helped them took a photo and then saw the live band coming back on stage.

So Serena, Joanna, Alvin and I took our drinks and went over. The crowd thinned and we got a very good seat. :D
Oh yes we were drinking Singapore Sling except for Serena, who had Heineken.

Enjoyed the music. And what we meant by band was not rock band sort of band. Rather there were only 3 of them and 2 of them had an acoustic guitar each and the last one had a double bass.
They sing really good I must say. :D

And we tried to sort of request songs but were beaten to that by Aussies over the other side.. lol   Guess they have more songs to think of. 
When one of them mentioned Elvis Presley, the first song that came to mind was 'Are you lonesome tonight?" I shouted it out to them. And the guy with the double bass was clearly shocked.

He asked "Wow you know Elvis? How old are you?"


I said something that might have link to what happened the next day.


"Oh I'm 17 turning 18." 5 seconds later I regretted what I said. Luckily nobody come confront me or what. Phew.

They performed 'Are you lonesome tonight', which was marvelous! :D

After a few more performances, they retired for the night and we went up to the karaoke there, which was transformed into a mini disco. The music playing then was some bollywood music.. LOL
Cox there was only some indians dancing there.. So the dj played those music luh..
After that, Joanna requested this song, then Serena and her danced to it, and dragged Alvin and me to dance too.. lol We're clueless. D:
And after that, they danced while we slacked abit.. Joanna kept saying 'last song' 'last song' but the DJ was too good. Kept playing those nice songs that she couldn't help but 'last song' again.. haha
Then Serena sort of gave up and said, if we guys just danced with them it will really be the last song. 


She last song-ed 5 more times. LOL


Went to the deck and slacked abit, saw the clouds in the distance with lightning flashing from time to time..
Got back to our cabins and bathed. Since Oliver and some other TR03s went to the cabin Joanna was sharing with the TR03 girls, she came over to our cabin and slept.. 
Actually we couldn't sleep, like was too high liao.. -.-"


19th March

Woke up, then decided to sleep somemore then wake again.

Went to Bella Vista for breakfast, had lots of eggs. Like 3? D:
Then there was bread, bacon and all.. 

Was late for the mini lecture thingy at Lido. -.-"
Mr. Oh looked at us and shook his head..
5 marks gone. D:

There was nothing to write actually, so in the end, Joanna and Alvin resorted to recording what they said on their cellphones... xD
It would be useful I hope.

Went touring around the kitchen of Pavilion and Bella Vista.. Like any other restaurant kitchen.. lol

Back to Lido again for some line dancing and the functions available on the stage etc.. 

Then was another speaker, I think its for shore trips one or something.. D:

After which, slacking around the deck and then had lunch. Went to the Pavilion and was told had to wait at least an hour. D:
But, saw Lilin they all at a table with 8 seats but only 5 of them there. So we asked if we could join them, and they were ok with it! :D
Heng ar. xD

The food was quite good. Just that the pig's trotters were pure fat, left untouched. The fish was good too. xD Wish could have one more fish. xD

Went up to the upper level of Lido, saw the disembarkation and shore trips procedure going on downstairs.
Then it was to the casino! Explored it and learnt some trivia about the casino.. The roulette was quite cool.. xD

Then after that was rotting around the grand piazza for the group photo taking..
The waiter who took the pic for us has shaky hands.. =/
Pictures were abit blur..
Other than that it was so-so..

Went back to cabin to rest awhile

Prepared for the dinner for which we were forced to overdress thanks to you-know-who.
Overdress in the sense that we had to wear formal outfit. The dress code was only collared shirt, long pants and covered shoes for guys and I don't know what for girls. D:

The food was okay... The service was shit. DAMN SHIT.
He had an attitude problem OR he had a bad day OR he was not happy with us, like 'wahlao why must wear until like this for bella vista?!?!'
I must say his tone in talking to us was damn bullshit. Like when Shamini said she'll order later as she just came to the table. His reply was 'Oh that's good.'

Like wth.

Anyways, had our picture taken by the photographer [but never went to see how our pictures were like] and finished up the food.

Chionged to the performance in the Lido. It was sports unlimited and it was a blast! haha
I especially like the basketball performance, rebound after rebound!

Went back to our cabins to change out of the formal wear..
Then it was to the Galaxy of the Stars where the juggler was performing.. I finally saw what was devil sticks.. Heard about them from Shaun they all.. Then there was a small incident. The juggler was like throwing the plastic plates to the audience but this guy din notice and was hit in the face. After he threw the plate back to him, [which was the instruction], he left angrily with his family, I could tell it from his face.. D:

 I was rotting at the stairs near the casino for Alvin, Serena and Joanna as they went in to to gamble.. LOL
I think only Joanna used her money la.. 2 chips, $5 each. In less than 2min, both chips were gone in the roulette...
But they went to explore abit so I was like dozing off outside..

Played some games at the arcade. Alvin and Joanna played Time Crisis 4 while i played daytona..
Slacked off at the deck, the winds were shiok, the stars shining above...
Played some games with TR01s.. The Mr. Wolf game like abit too hiong liao.. lol

Went to have supper with Joanna while Alvin continued playing with them..
The supper was like my dinner. Had lots of bread, the pau, the dessert as well.

Then it was to the disco, slacked there for awhile before going downstairs.. The trio from last night weren't there, instead it was a female duet with their keyboardist.
Alvin and I had Blue Hawaii while Joanna had her i-forgot-the-name shake. D:

Was caught that I was below 18 AFTER the same waitress gave me the drink and I had drank quite some amount from it.
But she said that if it doesn't pose any problems to me then its alright.
Phew HENG!

After the duet finished their last song, went up to the disco again, went in to stone abit.. Then went back to our cabin if I remember correctly.. Saw Joan and JT they all outside the disco.. Saw Matthew near our cabin there, then was told that they're going up to dance/chill.. lol
Went back up again to see some of them sitting there chilling out while the others [mostly girls] dancing with the other guests to the bollywood music.

Before long, the DJ had to call it a night [it was 3am] and we went back to our cabins to sleep..


20th March

Needed sleep so breakfast was postponed to lunch with 01s at Bella Vista.
Then back to cabin and packed our stuff, went to the Lido and outside of it to rot.. Saw harbourfront then I got my sms from NP. The results were '...'

Disembarked, went to vivocity there and took cab home with Alvin. Shack siol


And I've finally finished blogging this long winded post. hahaha
