Superstar.

I had a short getaway on the Star Cruise Superstar Libra last Friday. It was my first time on a cruise.

It was more of a get-together with my wife and her extended family. We left Harbourfront at about nine in the evening, shortly after the Superstar Virgo left for the international sea.

The cruise was more or less within my expectations - very few things to do which will interest me. Other than the endless eating, at least it was fun to spend time with the kids and all the nice relatives. Tho' at times I find it a little tough to enjoy myself as I was bothered by some issues on Friday. Why not just let it go and forget about it? I guess it was easier said than done. Perhaps some things just can't sleep over them. It fact it has came back to haunt me this moment, and I really want to take some corrective actions...

Nevertheless, the thing I like most about the cruise is watching sunrise on the Straits of Malacca with my wife.

Some photos from the short trip... at Harbourfront before setting off,

The pool on the top deck,

We woke up at 6.30am to see the sunrise. The sky was illuminated by the moon and stars.


Then, we saw the first light.

And the sun slowly appeared...





We stayed in the windowless stateroom. It was rather cramp and reminded us of the hotel room at Copenhagen during the TOML. On board, we spent our time eating and watching performances. We weren't really interested in gambling...

Our cruiser stopped over at Port Klang on Saturday noon. As you can see, it was a really quiet port. There wasn't much action.

Rows of idling cranes seen from the top deck,

Our ship was docked beside the "Legend of the Sea" from the Royal Caribbean. How we wished we were on that ship instead. Heh heh.

We took a walk around the port...

We weren't interested in going to KL, and there wasn't anything interesting besides these washing machines... mmmmm...


... and of course the bubblegum which we are deprived of. :p

Our cruiser sailed back to Singapore that night and we were back home in time for reunion dinner on Sunday afternoon. Two days, two night. Just nice. Perhaps in the near future, we will go to some other cruise in other parts of the world to see the ocean, whales, or even icebergs? :)

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...
