Last day of holidays

School's starting tomorrow so I will not have much time to blog. :D

Anyway, went to The Grand Cathay on Wednesday to watch our free movie- Kungfu Panda. Shopped at Plaza Singapura, The Centrepoint, etc.

Yesterday: Saturday
Went to aunt's house for lunch. She went to Batam to attend a wedding dinner yesterday afternoon and is coming back today. After tuition, we had dinner at Square2 and shopped at Novena Square.

I am so sorry that I won't be updating much. :D

再见了！

15 June Happy Father's Day!

To my dearest Dad:

Happy Father's Day!

.

父亲节快乐！谢谢您为这个家默默地付出。:D

Went to Botanical Gardens for a morning walk, then headed off to Chinatown for a Dim Sum brunch (breakfast-cum-lunch). Shirin had her bandage on her toe removed and it was erm... indescribable? Anyway, just came back from Toa Payoh Central and there was this Turkish kebab stall selling well, kebab. It looks quite nice and many people were queueing up to buy the kebabs, 1 for 4 dollars. :D

Till then, goodbye!

P.S. I still miss Taiwan Jiufen!

P.S. 我还是非常想念台湾的九份！芋圆啊，我的芋圆！

Taiwan, Jiufen

Friday the 13th of June 2008

I really have nothing to blog about!

Thursday

Dinner at Thomson Plaza Sushi Tei yesterday, looked around then went home.

Today

Did nothing much, only tuition homework, etc.

我好怀念出国旅行的日子! 尤其是台湾的九份.

我非常怀念那里的芋圆- 它是用芋头做的, 和面粉搅拌, 然后弄成象似汤圆的形状来煮. 煮了之后, 配上姜汤或红豆吃, 实在棒! 记得那里也有卖番薯和药材的口味, 也不错! :D

我好想念九份的芋圆啊! 那种味道...

可惜新加坡找不到... :(

Back blogging! :D

Sunday

Went to my uncle's house for lunch. He just came back from Suzhou, Shanghai on Tuesday/ Wednesday and left on Monday. (He works there) He gave us some gifts from China, namely dinosaur stuffed toys from the dinosaur park in Nanjing and food stuff from Suzhou and Nanjing. He also showed us pictures of the Olympic torch relay which took place in Suzhou near his apartment.

Went to the nearby Novena Square. Shopped at the Body Shop (the cupboard is filled with at least 5 bottles of body shop's soap now!) and took a break at the Donut Factory cafe.

Monday

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian @ The Grand Cathay was great! The show was delayed for one hour, so the manager decided to give us another movie free-of-charge within the next two weeks if we show the ticket stubs! Now we have 4 FOC movie tickets, and can be used on weekends. :D haha

Watching either "The Incredible Hulk" or "Kungfu Panda". (I think I prefer Hulk)

Nothing much these days, except waking up late and sleeping late. :D

I miss travelling! Shanghai, Tokyo, Taiwan, Cruising- GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES...

June 9 2008

Watching 'The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian' later at The Grand Cathay! :D Nothing else to say, other than I miss cruise.

Oh yah, I still prefer Superstar Gemini to Aquarius and Virgo. Gemini is still smaller (better), more slow-paced compared to Aquarius and Virgo. :D

Bye! :D

Cruise!

I'm back and finally updating!

I really miss taking the cruise. Once I got back, the first thing I thought about was HOMEWORK! I am really stressed up!

Well, the itinery for the cruise.

1st day: Reported at Harbourfront to board Superstar Aquarius, had lunch at Dynasty restaurant (table 62!). Walked around the ship taking pictures of the scenery around Harbourfront and attended some tour talk for the next day. Dinner was at Spices restaurant, a buffet styled restaurant. Entertainment at the Stardust lounge, showing "The Journey of Cheng Ho" and boy it was great! :D Had a drink at the Aquarius lounge, then light supper at Mariners' before going to bed.

The Aquarius Lounge

2nd day: Breakfast at Mariners' and went for a talk "Port Pointers for the trip to Penang and phuket". Lunch was at Dynasty again (table 62 again!) and we soon set off for the Penang "Shopping Galore" tour. We had to take a tender boat from the ship to Penang's port as the ship was too big to dock there. the tour brought us to Gurney Plaza, a local product shop and Prangin Mall, all for shopping! Went back to the ship before dinner at Oceana BBQ buffet. Entertainment at night was "Music Ensemble" by the musicians onboard.

Gurney Plaza

3rd day: Breakfast at Mariners' and we prepared for the trip to Phuket. The ship docked at Phuket's port this time so it as much easier to transfer to the city. We went to Wang Talang, a shop specialising in jewellery and souvenirs, before heading to Patong Beach. Upon reaching Patong beach, my family took a tuk-tuk to Junceylon, a megamall, to shop and have lunch. There was a Robinson's, Carrefour, etc there and there was a Boot's store(haha!)! After shopping there, we went to Ocean plaza for last shopping moments before heading back to the ship. Dinner at Oceana BBQ again, and entertainment at night was "Crew Extravaganza", where the crew performed. I hav to say that the performance as really... disturbing. HAHA. The thought of that particular performance still irks me. HAHAHA

Phuket Patong Beach

4th day: Did nothing much particularly on this day, only went to the activity centre onboard, played UNO, sudoku, and surfed the net. Lunch was at Blue Lagoon, and I love watermelon juice! :D There were more entertainment shows that day, like "Movie Mayhem" (love The Mask), "The weakest Link", etc. We stopped at Port Klang that night but didn't go down the ship. Dinner was at Dynasty with Chinese food served.

5th day: Breakfast at Dynasty (Chinese and Western menu) before walking around the ship, and we disembarked at around 12+pm. :D

Something I find really amusing
5 funniest questions asked onboard:

5. Does the ship generate its own electricity?
REPLY: "No, there is a giant plug in Singapore and the ship follows the wires back from Phuket to Singapore" :D haha

4. Do the crew stay onboard?
REPLY: "Haha, no, they take a boat back when you are sleeping and come back in the morning.":D

3. *Guest points at watermelon asking chef* "Is this vegetarian?" (THIS IS FUNNY).

2. (Forgotten)

1. Does the toilet bowl water taste salty and do you use seawater for flushing?
REPLY: "Why don't you dip your tongue in to try?" HAHAHA
