Went off to cruise on friday. Went there, came back, tink i put on more weight liao. Apparently, i muz rly go on a diet and exercise spree.
But juz before i went there, a series of events happened, some pissed me off, others, i got no comment.
FridayWoke up at roughly 12pm, since i was on leave on tt day, it makes no difference whether i woke up early or late in the morning. Being the guy i am, i choose late.
So, i was stationed at the com by 2pm. Surfed around the net for half an hr, before i got rdy to enter the MOE website. For O'lvl ppl, they braced themselves for the results they're gonna get, whereas i braced myself for the suckiest website ever created in history.
Y is it the suckiest website? Any living human being in singapore who has been thru the torture of having to register for the JAE will understand, especially the poor o'dragons like me. After giving us the shock of crashing last yr, almost turning my hair white in one nite, i thought i nvr have to go thru the same kinda torture again. And now? man, somebody muz be out to get me.
However, the website seems to tink the same as me and noes abt how much i dislikes it. It seems to dislike me as well, becuz the moment i wanna go into it at 2.30pm, the msg suddenly changed to 'U can register at the website at 3pm'.
WTF???????????
OK, i let u have it UR way, by 3pm, u better lemme in. OR SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET THE HURT REAL BAD............................
3pm.
YESH, I LOG IN, MAN. Now i was getting rdy to settle this within 15min before getting the hell outta tt website. However............... The moment i log in, they say register or sth, so i clicked on it and u noe wat it says?
'We need another 6 hrs to find ur data. Pls log in 6 hrs later to do ur registration.'
6 HRS?????????? I'M ALRDY OUTTA SINGAPORE 6 HRS LATER, HOW THE HELL U WAN ME TO REGISTER? MY DATA????? I GIVE IT TO U WITHIN HALF AN HR ALSO CAN AH, U BUNCH OF FREAKING ASSHOLES
In the end, da jie called the MOE, which turns out to be useless. Apparently, they can do nth abt tt sucky website of theirs, and advised us to register 6hrs later. Thank goodness da jie wasn't going to cruise with us, so she could help me register.
And so, we set off for cruise, with my mum up to some kinda plan. I wanted to take taxi, so i told her i'll pay. End up, we followed her plan of taking bus 30.
Taking bus 30 to Harbour Front wouldn't be as bad as i thought, if not for the fact tt:
- We ran into a traffic jam, one tt lasted 1 and a half hrs.
- During the jam, we watched like, 50 times Citigem advertisments.
- Bus was hot, despite the fact tt it's air conditioned.
Seriously regreted to take taxi sia, thx to my mum. Reached Harbour Front in time to get into the cruise ship and find a table at the Pavilion(Chinese Resturant) for dinner.
Our menu for tt nite
- Shark Fins soup
- Fa Cai Yu Sheng
- Steamed Prawns
- Honey Combed Roasted Chicken
- Abalone with vegetables
Not bad eh? Dun get too jealous, maybe u're eating better food than me? Yea, maybe.....=D
Watched the Kungfu performance at the Lido. Man, the shaolin monks were damn good, they rly performed solid stuff. Maybe i should pay Shaolin a visit for them to acknowledge me, the grand master:D(Juz kidding). After the whole show, me mum went to casino(Fa Cai place) whereas i went around to spend some time and finally, ended the day by watching the midnite movie, Perhaps Love. Not a very nice show, but should deserve 3 outta 5 ba.
Yea, my activities in cruise are kinda boring. Tt's becuz the first time u go there, it's fun. Subsequently, it starts to get kinda boring, so i juz go for the sake of accompanying my mum, who happens to be in the casino. Honestly, the gambling blood is definitely from her. Tracking back the generations, i noe, becuz my maternal grandparents are big time gamblers, the type tt u can nvr stop from gambling.

Sunday

- Normally, when a person gambles for a v.long time, there are two possibilities: 'Big Win' or 'Big Lose'.
- Heck care, went to eat dim sum with mum.
- Went back to room to get more rest, damn tired sia.
- 3rd Aunt came back.

- Man, the gambling blood is definitely from my mum's side.
- Rested in room, before getting rdy to embark.
- Embarked, headed home, thank goodness no traffic jam this time when we took bus 30.
Was dead tired. Moment i reached home, i went to bed and slept till 7pm.
Apparently, er jie(Haven't seen her in 2wks) finally unperm the ends of her hair, making her look better than last time, When she perm the ends of her hair, i felt like telling her how shity she looked, but was always stopped by mum. Thank goodness she realised it too.
Well, moral of the story is, cruise ain't as interesting as u tink it is, so unless u're going there for the food, i will advised u not to waste ur time and money.
