CNY overseas trip

bak from my CNY "overseas trip"!
Will let the photos tell the details of the overnight cruise.
It was supposed to be a 5D4N trip to HK, but news of the fog made my dad try to change to something else.
But dang, the stupid tour company didnt refund bak the money, and my dad has to fork out more money for the cruise. =/

First we went on the cruise "Superstar Libra" Not a very huge ship, as compared to its sister virgo.
then at the end, mum decided to go sentosa since we are already at harbourfront. And so the 2nd afternoon is spent at sentosa...

PHOTOS. (from my HP and my mum's camera)
I have arranged as far as possible in order





Our Room is a three-bed room, located right at the tail of the ship.
From our tiny window, we face a basketball court, and then the sea.

No. Its not raining..its the workers washing the court.. right up to our windows.


anyone tell me what flag is this?


The cruise will only start moving at 9pm..so i kinda took a lot of photos of the cable car and the cruise terminal.

afternoon turns to evening and then night....






Leisure world is parked just next to us. I have been on this cruise before when i was so young....i could only remember the gameshow bingo played while on it.


The ship finally leaving the terminal at about 8.50pm. There was a compulsory emergency drill before tt, but we are kinda lazy...=/


Lifeboats!!


Going past Jurong island. it was damn windy on one side of the ship...and not at the other...strange.


The wake of the ship moving at dunno how many knots.


Superstar Libra wasnt a Libra when it was born...


Dinner at a chinese restaruant. There was a spread of 7 dishes - yusheng, chilli preawns,pineapple dish, braised pork, riceballs in red bean paste etc.
My parents=)


Aerobics Performance. Some idiot used e flash and i was the one caught instead using the camera...zzzz
still i decided to leave one photo after deleting the rest as told.


dance...games...CNY celebrations. Not very crowded cos alot of the others on the cruise were gambling at the casino just a few doors away from the lounge.



A model of the cruise.


after the celebrations, we had late night buffet supper. When we got bak to our cabins,it was past 1am.

The cruise is meanwhile somewhere in malacca straits, in indonesian waters. (i think..cos i saw the ship turning left all the way when leaving sg)

our small and tiny stateroom cabin. C6104.


DAY 2
Sunrise was ruined by clouds yet again.



Indonesian authorities arriving to check the ship's documents.



The veiw at the court. The window of our cabin can be seen at the bottom right.
(but no...tts not the door to our room okay...=/)




Joggin track. I dun think tts a hopscotch thingy though..



Arriving bak at the cruise terminal at about 9.30am.

'
The towboat damn zai. its the only one towing the ship to park properly at the harbour.

FIRST STOP: UnderWater World.

I pity the fishes and stingray in this touching pond. The sign say to "Touch gently", but i see people rushing in to "pat" them. As if it is not stressful enough to have others touch you....lol




Some garden worm or something. Damn funny watching them float about in the water with their tail in the sand. and retreating whenever the fish comes near....

hmmm...

err...i forgot the name.

this too...

and this...

Octopus!

Crab. (duh)

The Sea Dragon looks real beautiful.


Jellyfish!! and they are real lucky with the 4-clover like shape.




stingrays.

corals

fish?



2nd stop: Cineblast. A stationary rollar coaster ride with moving chairs and with a screen. Quite chi zi. Movie is tt of follwing a log as it gets cut up, transported thru various pulleys, rivers, waterfalls and passwageways...

Lunch-ed at subway. so qiao cos my 1st subway is just last week.

3rd stop: SENTOSA DOLPHIN LAGOON

















BYE SENTOSA.
