What does RM1900 buy you on a cruise like SSV - Part 2 : Passing times with amenities around

Unless you have a wish to rot in the small little cabin where your bed sits, its best to go outside and see what it is like living on a boat, erm... luxuriously of course.

You can swim in the tiny weenie pool on the open deck at deck 13, with four jacuzzis. Other wise people like us at the balcony class get to use the jacuzzi, steam bath, sauna at the gym.

Some decided to spend day and nights at the game room, while real man spent their time at Casino (erm, no pics here)

Giant Chess anyone???

There are more pics actually, but my colleagues have not uploaded their to the server yet. Will update them once I have them on hand.

What does RM1900 buy you on a cruise like SSV - Part 1: Exploring the SSV

Seriously, a 4 days 3 nights cruise that cost RM1700 + RM200 for taxes and bring me only as far as Phuket, this is a first for me. Even I got curious how luxurious it can can for sailing on a boat.

Duh... everyone is half dead as we depart from the hotel 6am in the morning so we could get on the boat before it sail off at 2pm

At the main lobby, not bad at all with all nice gold trimmings

Finally, a bed! With balcony view as well. No wonder the RM1700++ fee!!

And my colleague Chor Wan quickly take some pictures before I mess up with the toilet.

Starcruise - Superstar Virgo Here I Come!

I was planning to write something more regular earlier on, but after some thoughts I decided to do this trip in a wacky way! Come find out what it is like to board the Superstar Virgo (SSV) on a 4 days 3 nights cruise from Singapore to Phuket via Penang. Who knows you might be the next to sleep under the moonlight and starlight just like me.

Sniff! Kois died today

This pet thingy can really drive people nuts sometimes, especially you get attached to it after taking care of it for pro-long period.

Mark's Kois died today because the power extension cord was loose so no electricity went to the pump. SIGH!!!

Ever since he left to study in Australia, I go to his place every week to change the water and take care of them nice nice until they got big and fat and so colorful. But now they just died!!!!

I am so so so sad, and I feel so sorry for them. Duh...

Left with this last one that held up till the last minute, I am sure it must've glad I came in time.

My car got clamped today

For the first time since I had my car 5 years ago, it got clamped today! Hmm... should we call for a celebration???

Went to do a DNA sequencing workshop for UPM Faculty of Biotech and came out later to find that my car was securely clamped despite it was parked at a proper parking. Apparently the security there thought my car was a student's car. And most parkings around here are meant for staffs.

Sigh.... so I had to take the summone and run around with help from a technician to get it unclamped later. Only get to go home around 7pm. :P
