My 3rd entry
Home sweet home , I'm back from far out in the massive sea!
For the pass few days or rather weeks , I have been worrying about this and that. Maybe I 've seen movies of ship sinking that I developed a sense of uncomfortable when my parents planned a trip to Superstar Star Virgo together with aunt , uncle , grandpa & my 4years old cousin . But anyway , I kept praying hard that nothing bad is going to happen on this trip. Thankfully maybe I 've been a bit too parnoid, nothing happen and I enjoyed the cruise.
We set off at 9pm +++ going to 10pm when we finally boarded the ship.We actually waited for 1 hr +++ for the check in ( getting the cabin key) and another 1hr +++ for the board in ( checking of bags and luggage ) . The quene was EXTREMELY LONG ! and the quene only moved a bit after a few minutes. A lot of people got impatient and unhappy over this. Maybe there were far too many people going or the way they planned the check in & board in was terribly bad.
Before getting onto the ship, at the entrance there were people and mascots standing there , taking your photo . Next , I knew they were going to ask you to buy the photos they have taken .Smart way of earning money . But had to buy for the sake of memory keeping .
Our room turned out to be small . There were 4 beds. 2 by the corner , 1 on the top and 1 on the bottom. There were a short show on TV about what and how to do when there was an emergency. There were an demonstration too and we learned how to wear life jacket. Went for supper at the chinese restaurant at 11pm ! First time in my life eating at 11pm when it's consider not good for health but anyway who cares. Too hungry after the long wait.The food was quite okay and we explore the ship .Went to the top deck which was Deck 13. There were a swimming pool , library , writing room , spa and etc there . The night scenary of Singapore was really nice. At 12 am sharp , the ship started sailing away from the harbour. Was told there were two boats at each end to pull it out of the harbour.
Couldn't sleep throughout the 1st night.Keep hearing the engine of the ship goes 'bot bot bot' and the people next door to us keep going in and out , making a lot of noise.In the end I ended up sleeping for a few hours only.
Day 2 , went for breadfast at the Mediterranean Buffet .Guess the cook didn't sleep well or .... Cause the food was bad. Not all but majority. But the view from the restaurant was nice. We were in the middle of a nowhere but a gigantic sea . There were fishermen 's boats . The fishermen were really great , sailing on a motor boat. The boat was consider small compared to the sea.
Then we went to Mid - valley Megamall in KL . The mall was far bigger than Vivo City .But the shops were similar to what we had in Singapore. Had to report at 7pm sharp or we 'll had to go back on our own. The trip to and fro took 1 and a half hour. Goes to show how big Kl was AND it's only one part of Malaysia .Due to Traffic Jam in KL.
We missed Dinner Time so had to wait for supper before eating . And supper was at 12am . Pretty hungry at that time.
Luckily, the second night , I slept throughout and woke up to view sunrise. The scene was pretty but the wind was quite strong. Almost blew my jacket off.Went to jacuzzi . First time in a jacuzzi in a middle of a big sea.This time round , the buffet served better tasting breadfast . Had to check out of the rooms before 12 noon as the ship sailed back to Singapore.Arrived in Singapore while having lunch .
The cruise turned out great only on the second day. The first day was filled with rush and me , worrying about the ship sinking, ha ha =D
