Report: Superstar Aquarius

Here's some pics that I took while I was on a cruise trip with my family :)

Lobby of Cruise Terminal

1 Night out to international water cruise :)

Stupidity with my sister

The gang of the cruise

Photobucket
The cruise was late for 4 hours and we had to wait till sun set and beyond only that damn thing approaches the dock =.=" This is a picture I took of the view during sunset

Photobucket
Another sunset view

Alas finally the cruise arrived and we had to line up to board the ship. First thing I did was rushing to the room and head to the toilet to release myself :p

Unfortunately the bathroom is as small as the ones in First World Hotel in Genting =.=

Photobucket
The swimming pool of the ship. It closes during the night so there's no swimming for us :(

Photobucket
The ship top deck. a.k.a 12th floor :)

Photobucket
The walk way from one end to the other end. This place is for people to do their jogging or probably sun bathing during the day

Photobucket
There's a pool bar as well but sadly, it didn't open through out trip :(

Photobucket
This however is a club in the night and a restaurant during the day. First night, Indian songs... =.="

Photobucket
There's a basketball court as well but I didn't spend anytime there :p

Photobucket
One of the four restaurants that we can eat all we want for free :p But seriously, the food sucks in there. except for 2 restaurants. The Asian/Indian Cuisine and the BBQ buffet. Those are highly recommended

Photobucket

Photobucket
During the day, nothing feels better than to soak yourself in a hot tub of jacuzzi

Photobucket
Then to laze yourself throughout the day :p or you could go gamble your brains out. Currency is using Singaporean dollars but heck the bets are cheaper than the ones in Genting :p

Photobucket
Hours later we arrived Singapore. Check out Habour Front :p

Photobucket

Photobucket
We went down the Orchard road for a walk and all just to pass time. We had like 4 hours before we had to go back to check in at the ship again. That's all for now. :)

Belated Travel Report

Sorry for the delay. I was on a cruise last week and well, to be pretty honest, I've been pretty lazy in blogging these days. But then again, deep down inside I know for sure that I owe it all to most of my readers so I'm still not gonna quit on blogging :) So Next up would be my belated 2nd part travel log; PENANG!

This would be my first attempt to drive to Penang. I've never drove there before. Mostly I took a bus and my best friend would come pick me up from the station. Everything has to start somewhere right? So here I am, driving for the first time :p

I reached around the evening and met up with my God sister and we then checked in to the hotel she helped me book. Later we met up again and hanged out outside Queensbay Mall while waiting for my best friend to arrive. But unfortunately he couldn't make it due to heavy workload. Above are the pictures we took during the evening outside Queensbay Mall.

Thanks to my photographer wannabe gf, she took a lot of pictures of me while I was lazing around in the hotel room that evening. Wahahaha. I have to say she has improved a lot on her skills on a DSLR thanks to practicality as well as some intense reading on the internet. (so that is what she does during office hours shhhhh.... :p)

Famous Gurney drive food center. Trust me, The food still taste good even after so long since I've been there. I even had their famous fried chicken skin there!

Fancy hotel huh? This is the G hotel. A fairly new hotel around Gurney. The place looks really classy. I feel like I'm in a club when I entered this building to check it out. It's slightly overpriced though but well for the setup I personally think it's worth the price. They even have a fancy club that matches their name. Wanna know what they call it?

Photobucket

That's right. THE G SPOT! wahahahaha what a sense of humour!

Photobucket

We went to Penang Hill the next day and let me tell you, the train up is really a DRAG! 1 interchange, each ride is like 30 mins up! no place to sit, and it's hot! and I thought it'll be colder up above.... but hell no!

Scenery is nice I'll give you that, but unfortunately, It was rather hazy that day so the views quite blurred out. Oh well, I thought that's all for that place until we found a nice place.... check out the pictures and I'll tell you more about it soon.

Looks nice huh? It's called David Brown's restaurant. Looks really English and classy. The interior is cozy and comfortable as well...

Photobucket

What I tell ya? They even have a fireplace but obviously they do not need to use it since Malaysia is a hot country. There's no need for a fire in the house to keep warm :p

Photobucket

And of course, nothing beats to have a good chilled cup of tea while enjoying the view of the whole place. True?

Overall, the trip was short but full of fun and FOOD. We ate almost every few hours. and both my gf and I gained some weight when we returned to KL. Oh yes, Before I forget, See what my gf made me do =.="
