i'm back.. haha.. but not today lah.. was back on 21 april.. but too lazy and busy to post the trips updates.. firstly wanna thank all who msged me and wished me well for my birthday! thanks alot.. =)

the trip was not too bad.. hee.. but the sea were rough so the ship was shaky.. and i didnt feel veri stable there... ha.. made me kinda giddy too.. =P then went to experience casino for the first time.. cool experience.. but really not my cup of tea.. hee.. mayb cos i dun really know how to play ba.. so can onli go for the idiot proof game- jackpot.. haha.. jus press button onli.. lol.. btw the legal age on cruise is 18.. lol.. so i can guang ming zheng da de walk in and out of the casino.. haha.. and i was veri happy tt i kana checked by the ppl there.. haha.. =P shows tt i look young.. haha.. but i was checked on the last day of the cruise.. lol.. ok shall post more details abt the day on cruise..

19 april 2006

talked to him before i left the house for the cruise.. then he reminded me to bring a jacket.. but i left all my jackets in hall.. ya.. so going jacketless.. then when i reached the harbour front, when to shopped ard for some jackets.. but not nice leh.. so fated to go jacketless liao.. ya.. then when was waiting for my mum to do the admin stuffs.. then he appearred... with a jacket too.. hee.. was really touched n surprise he came cos it was exams period and unlike me.. he got lotsa of papers.. yalor.. then he lent me his onli jacket too.. exams hall are freezing cold one.. so was really really veri touched.. oh then he aso met my mum n granny n my dad.. hee..

then we boarded the cruise.. it's big.. nono.. big isnt apt.. enormous.. lol.. we boarded star virgo.. ya.. and it's like got 13 levels.. and there is front deck, mid deck n back deck.. it's my first time on a overnight cruise.. been on cruise before but it was jus a day's cruise to nowhere..

the dinner was not bad.. then daddy ordered a bottle of white wine.. then i had a glass of it... initially found it not bad.. but after a while it didnt taste that nice afterall.. then had another mini round of buffet at another restaurant.. =P took bread and a small portion of salad for some bites.. hee.. =P

after that we went to catch the 'Masters of Kung Fu' performance. It's a mixture of Shaolin KungFu with Chinese, European and North American arcobats.. think i more amazed by the acts by the Chinese arcobats.. they are really zai man.. hee... didnt really like it as much as my parents n granny though.. =P played bingo at a bar but sadly we didnt win.. then proceeded to the casino to try our luck again.. hee..

it was my first time entering the casino.. culture shock.. haha.. see those footages of casinos before from the tv.. but seeing from ya veri own eyes.. standing in the casino is a totally different feeling.. ha.. and the legal age is 18.. and i'm way past tt age liao.. (hai.. old liao leh.. ) so dun hav to worry abt sneaking in too.. hee.. =P

was amazed with everything i saw.. and the way they played blackjack seems different frm the way we or shld i say i played during CNY at my aunts hse.. and the rest of the games needless to say, all looked alien to me... haha.. yalor.. then the onli game i played was jackpot.. lol.. spent most of my time playing it... played till my eyes were sore lor.. lol... dount really understand why ppl can play jackpot for sooo long.. dun their eyes get tired? mayb cos my luck isnt veri gd ba.. didnt keep winning so i got bored.. hee.. my granny and mum seems engrossed wif it though.. ha.. while my father found his entertainment in playing the rouettle.. dunno how to spell.. it's the game whereby u try to guess the number one.. the the person will spin the 'thing' see where the ball lands..

i was acty quite seh when i was at the bar playing bingo le.. guess it was the glass of wine.. tot my jiu liang is tt bad man.. but i was able to walk straight jus my head felt heavy n i was super tired.. but it was later on tt i found out it was other reasons tt made me liddat.. mayb the glass of wine did partially caused it ba.. but the main contributing factor was the rough sea..

20 april 2006

today is my 20th birthday! Happy Birthday to me! hee..

woke up with a cold.. tot i had a hangover.. but it's jus the rough seas.. really make me feeling giddy.. bleh.. made me felt uncomfortable the whole day on board..

went to the jacuzzi pool after i woke up wif my mum.. the jacuzzi was really veri shuang.. hee.. if onli my hse one was jus as gd.. wah.. heaven man.. lol.. then went back the cabin to bathe.. to my surprise, there was a cake left on the table for me.. ha.. service veri gd man.. lol.. and we onli ate mouthfuls of the cake after our trip frm redang.. hee..

went to redang in the afternoon.. the beach is really veri veri beautiful.. guess gonna psycho the vballers to come here for a short get together trip.. cld play beach vball, swim/soak in the clear sea.. and see fishes under water.. or jus plain suntanning.. then for those willing to spent one can go fishing or snorkelling out in the deeper seas... yalor.. hee...

didnt want to get wet intially.. but after my mum's persuasion, i got changed and went down.. really glad i went down man.. ha.. there were many different kinds of fishes and they are sooo sooo beautiful... and the water is soo clear too.. hee... and the waves were veri shiok! hee.. the onli sad thing is that the sea bed some parts veri painful because of the broken coral reefs.. the view is really gd.. make me wanna go there again to try snorkelling.. hee... but think redang onli can go for a short period onli.. 3d2n is jus nice.. any longer will be quite bored cos nothing much liao.. yalor.. hee...

caught another performance after dinner.. this time it's the same Chinese, European and North Americans arcobats performing.. jus minus the kungfu parts.. but they performed a different sets of stunts.. ya... and the chinese arcobats are really veri veri ZAI!! the rest were jus mainly dancing so nothing much lor..

then at 12midnight catch another performance.. a topless dance.. ya.. the tic is 20 per person.. quite cheap according to my mum.. hee... she says if outside wanna see this kind of dance veri ex one.. so she bought the tics so we cld like see how issit like.. hee.. kinda curious how they are going to dance too.. hee...

but the show wasnt really good lah.. the cast are the SAME European n North American dancers.. gosh! being a performer on the cruise no easy leh.. gotta be all rounders man.. gotta bare it all.. ha.. but they didnt reallt literally bare it all.. at least they still had their undies on.. =P

there were many diff dance segments and not all are really topless.. some were purely dance wif some tops on.. ya.. but when they are dncing topless they wore this kinda special bra.. sth like those underwired bra jus without the padding.. guess it's to make their breast stay in place n look firm ba.. then got this segment is where the husband tries to make his tired wife who jus came back frm work into wanting to hav sex wif him.. like veri porno liao.. then u get to see the exotic dance moves lor...

when watching it make me tot of WAH... ha.. learnt the term Voyeurism.. haha... reminded me of 'Sarah', Saartje Baartman.. and how i'm now part of voyeurism and how the performers are being the subject of sexuality.. and the term 'Otherness' flashed across my mind too..

21 april 2006

had breakfast at this particular restuarant.. they had chinese and english breakfast.. we ordered the chinese one cos of our granny.. ya.. but the food was really veri veri nice.. the porridge was gd though.. so after that we went to the buffet for another round.. as usual.. i'm into my bread n butter again.. ha.. the scrambled eggs tt morning was not bad too... then my parents decided to go back to the restaurant to try the english breakfast.. ha.. didnt joined them cos i ate quite alot already at my 2nd round.. ya.. so wet back to pack my stuffs after the breakfast...

nothing much to do aso so went to slp while my family played at the casino.. ha..

then home sweet home..
