:: superstar virgo ::

yeap, i went on a cruise on friday, just came back today.

been feeling rather moody lately.. even just before my trip i wasn't exactly v excited. was still using comp on friday itself n working on my flash web.. *stress* (no la.. i don't mean it)

feel irritated by pple. pple who cut my queue, pple who stand right in front of my camera when i'm taking photos, n the person who qiang my jing tou!! those of u who went on cruise before may know that there'll be a photographer taking pictures of everyone with the star cruise mascot. when i took mine, there was an old man right behind me n looking at the camera too!!!! argh!!! but nvm. i look terrible on the photo anyway.

ok let me tell u how i get to go for this cruise to nowhere on Superstar Virgo. it's actually organised by my mom's boss for the staff, but they can bring along their family members. my dad couldn't come because he had to work on sat. my mom's boss is super generous sia. it's free for her staff, on top of that, she gives them $88 each to spend on the cruise!!!

i share room with my mom n her colleague called Emily. checked into the room n went out for dinner. man, i gotta warn u that this entry is full of food. that's wad i've been doing during my whole trip - yup, eating. went to The Pavillion, Chinese restaurant. they serve each table a standard set of dishes - prawns, spinach, "shark's fin", otah + wu xiang n fish. the ship hasn't moved off yet, but the vibration of the engine is quite irritating.

guess wad. after dinner we went up to deck 12, Mediterranean Buffet for more food. there another shark's fin, but this time it's real one!! according to my mom la. n we had braised oyster too... yummy~~ i took a lot of desserts. haha.. including this chocolate mousse.. yummy~! finally saw a cute guy.

after that we (me + my mom + her colleague) went around exploring the facilities. then at 9pm the ship started moving off. i took a lot of photos n videos on the sundeck. i rem the last time i went on a cruise was pri 2... i almost got blown away cuz i was too light then (?!) n the wind was very strong. not so now. i learnt that Emily is also a Christian.

went back to the room n rest. went out for supper at 11.30pm at the Mediterranean Buffet. wasn't hungry, but i still ate. like there's no tomorrow. ha.. then at 12am i suggested we go watch movie at The Lido. there's this Stephen Fung n Gillian Chung movie called 49 days. ghost story. haha.. but nice. in cantonese somemore. after the show went back to sleep. it was 2am already.

at 6.30am i woke up to catch the sunrise. didn't see the sun at all, but saw the sky slowly getting brighter. then i went back to the room to change into sports attire n went to the gym. went on the tread mill first, v happy cuz i v long nv exercise liao.. =P the gym instructor advised me to land on my heels instead of pluntering. guess i learnt something new. yongcheng told us before, to land on our heels when running, also, but i didn't know y. so now i know~

went back to the room to wake up my roommates to go for breakfast. went to the chinese restaurant again (we only go to those free-of-charge places) had dim sum breakfast. shiok ah! there were har gao, porridge, custard buns, black sesame riceball/mua chee n uh can't rem. then went up to Med Buffet for tea n coffee. took some cereal too. went to explore more places like the observatory where we can see the pilot/captain n the consoles. cool~ all the staff are like from all over the world. but i didn't see any singaporean from the list.

watched 2 Become 1 at the Lido at 9.30am. nice show. i like the way Richie Ren looked at Miriam Yeung when they were in a bar in the movie, watching over her with a concerned look. sigh~

went for lunch. (so fast?!) at this restaurant called Bella Vista. i thought we cannot wear shorts n slippers in so i went back to the room to change. had octopus salad (better than the other choice julius caesar salad that has nothing but veggies) n i like it. the soup was Minestrone. i had turkey flute as main course. n Hot love for dessert. this vanilla ice cream with cherry. my mom ordered caramel pudding n i thought there was garlic or onion in it. she didn't think so. *shrugs*

went to watch Zathura in the Picture House. (a smaller theatre) rested a while (n i mean sleep) n then woke up for jacuzzi with emily at around 4+pm. the water was HOT. made reservation for pedicure at 7pm. i wanted to try the pool, but in the end didn't. went back for shower n then went back up to the poolside for bbq dinner. cool~ wanted to take photos of the sunset, but it was time for my pedicure already. went with emily too. they only have 2 spaces available so my mom could not join us. it was my first time. haha.. ticklish n cool. the foot bath was HOT also man. after tt went to casino. haha.. =x settled our bills. my mom sponsored $20 for the pedicure ($40).

then my cam went totally low batt. sigh. didn't bring charger. argh! went to the Med Terrace (outdoors of the Med Buffet) for a chat. learnt from Emily tt she went on missions before too. she advised me to wait till the time is right before i go. currently i can't go anywhere cuz it's not God's timing yet. n when it is, things will fall into place smoothly n just fit nicely. i guess thru this trip, my mom's relationship with her has become stronger cuz they even pray together for the company. anyway the 3 of us go everywhere together. the other colleagues have their own plans with their own families (arcade, casino etc).

went back to the room to rest but i couldn't fall asleep. too full liao. feel quite sad abt eating so much, but my mentality is like if i dun eat i'm wasting good food. hahahah.. then woke up for supper n watched Final Destination 3 at 12am at the Lido. i expected the movie to be scary, wanted to bring my small pillow along to hug but quite pai seh to bring it to supper. it was certainly gory. quite traumatised after the show but i prayed for a good night's rest, without nightmares.

thank God i didn't dream of anything related to the movie. cuz i listened to Jar's of Clay on my discman till i fell asleep. psychoed myself to think of other stuff like the 2 Become 1 movie.

then woke up at 7am.. wanted to wake up at 6am to catch sunrise n maybe go gym. but i was too tired. couldn't open my eyes. reluctantly went to wash up. had breakfast at the Chinese restaurant again. this time there was "siew mai", scallop + oyster porridge, n some other funny stuff. was quite pissed that i had to request soya sauce 3 times. thw waitress sounded v sleepy when she came to the table with the dishes. went to Med Buffet for tea n coffee again. i took scrambled eggs, waffle n chicken sausage.

went back to the room to pack up but i was tired la. fell asleep n almost couldn't wake up. my mom had to pack up for me. haha.. at 10.30am we have to check out. went to the Lido where everyone is gathered to wait for dismissal. so funny. there's this crew who kept singing his fav songs n getting pple to guess the song title for a prize. his voice is good man. all the oldies. haha~ i could have got a prize but too shy la. haha..

finally we were dismissed n i was pissed again whenever pple cut my queue. went thru the customs n i suggested having lunch at Seah Im instead of the food court. wasn't hungry but i still ate. went back home. tired. sleep.
