♥ Starcruise - Day Three ♥

Not going to make the post so long after preview, look so messy. Young master have to work on this lovely Sunday, so, i gonna continue the post before heading out for dinner. *TeeHee* I love to stay at home on holiday/weekend now, this good habit really can help for saving money. Too bad that the doggies keep barking!! Opsh, ya, forgot to hang up those clothes!!

29 March 2011, had a BIG breakfast after dolled up.

Grilled bacon, scrambled eggs, beans, baked tomatoes, croissants, hams, yogurts & corn flakes with milk. Burp. Young master keep mumbling that I'm so greedy, sure i can't finish all these. Em, he is right. I eat all of these but didn't finish most of that.

Waiting to go out when we finished the breakkie. I'm found out the reception can receive 3G line, so, non-stop to touch my gadget again!! *smile* So much to update although just didn't online for one day.

Stupid weather forecast!!

My must go out face!! A foreign pretty girl walk thru and asked what the straw hat for? Em, how about for the rain. *slap my forehead*

Everyone get the rain coat before heading out. Anyway, I'm think that I'm look cute on this. *laugh*

Langkawi, the island that i visited twice when I'm still a college student, the island that me and young master travel together (just for one day because other friend join us after that), lot of beautiful memories over there. But for young master, Langkawi is an island that he always been during school holiday, its too familiar to him. He even cycle from his hometown to Langkawi with his friends! He know all the way, where to school, where to play, where to eat......Heh! *proud face*

I guess both of us have a GOOD KID FACE so that those elders love to take care of us. An uncle asked us to join them when we heading out and find some fun. Okay, its sound cheaper if we share the same vehicle to the town. Since they've plan to shop around, both of us agree to follow them. TeeHee. Make friend around the world.

Shoot inside the van, here we are, young master, beloved me, Alan, Helen and two auntie. Alan & Helen were back from US and they've travel around the world, sounds rich.

The weather is so so so bad, the rain really spoiled our shopping mood!! *cry*

Young master bought a pair of sport shoes at duty fees shop. Cost RM 120++ after discount, i think its really worth. And a sexy polo tee for him too (for Gala dinner). I bought lot of handmade soap since i didn't get any pretty dress!! We call that fair game. *evil laugh*

We decided to go back the ship after 2 hours, maybe auntie and uncle were tired that walking around. They told us the star cruise travel habit when we on the way back. You know what? You need to DA BAO food when you're having breakfast buffet inside the cruise, so you can having it when you going out like now. Anyway, they still share the sandwich that made by Helen. But for me, i always love to try those local food when travel, that is my own way to feel the intercultural. Young master told me that maybe uncle and auntie don't have healthy stomach like us, we need to care other people's condition ma~ Sound truth also, right?

Random shot before back to the cruise.
Tiny me with big boat.

Cant stand for the strong wind, my straw hat gonna fly away.

So hungry when we back to the cruise, okay, i agreed that I'm really MAFAN, always go for those food that need to pay. Young master bring me to the restaurant that open for 24 hours again. Ha ha ha, the waitress remember us!!! She asked us to dine here after Gala dinner, that mean supper!! Forget about that, we were too full after the proper dinner, she gonna miss young master or maybe...... me? *laugh* PS: Young master called her cheongsam girl, so can you imaging how HOT she is. *blush*

Young master's mocha, he like the pattern on the glass, really put some effort on it. *smile*

My cranberry juice. 100% from bottle la!

Stir KaiLan with pork belly. Yum!! Ya, its tasty like what you can see. Young master said it's surprisingly delicious (assuming you cannot find "good wok gas" food on the ship).

Scallop fried rice. Luckily the cheongsam girl told us the portion is big that can share for 2 person. Young master asked for soya sauce because the fried rice isn't salty enough. Then the super hot cheongsam girl explained chef usually won't make the dish salty in order to suit the general taste.

Hungry max. Just noticed that my boney hand is too horrible, yuck.

........................................................... I'm a dotted line ...........................................................................

Dang dang, its the time for Gala Dinner.
Let those pictures tell the story~

I hate my childish look.

Attend the cocktail before the dinner start. Anyway, not that much passengers attend that, but i love to warm up before the heavy dinner. The passion fruit juice is surprisingly delicious, maybe because it's FOC. But young master forgot what he drink already. *winks*

So sad that young master always shake his hand at the right MOMENT.

Obviously we gonna share the table with others. I'm thinking a RICH couple joining us then get a big business from them, blah blah blah...... sometimes my imagination is quite creative pun. Okay, is a guy than joining us, yes, IS A GUY!!! He come alone for the dinner and leaved the restaurant silently!!! So weird right? Actually i try to be friendly but didn't have any chance to talk with him. Young Master said: "Maybe he watch too many times Titanic liao.... wanna get laid with rich Mat Salleh on the ship leh..."

Menu. We took a long time to read thru the menu, I'm not that good in optional question. That's why my six sense always go wrong in choosing dishes.

Tired me, feel so sad that the trip didn't go smooth as i PLANED. *cry* Young master invited me to Bangkok & Phuket as my birthday present, ah, too bad that i cant make it.

Please pass thru the pics that without description, the foods isn't that nice and I'm just too picky!! Young master will try to explain a bit la. *smile* "YES! MADAM!" "Your wish is my command!"
Appetizer 1. Black Pepper Seared Salmon with Anchovy Dressing. "This salad is so so la, normal than normal. Vege with salmon and mayo..... think replace mayo with some capers or olive will be nicer, top with good olive oil and splash of balsamic vinegar."

Appetizer 2. Escargot in Freshly Baked Brioche. "Escargot over baked! The bread shape look like a nipple!"

The hero of the night.
Starcruise rebate RM50.00 per passenger due to the disappointment, so we got extra money to spend. "Drink red wine la! Cos we don't have to drive after we drink".

What he's looking at? "I like to see which country the wine came from! I don't like wine came from america!! And also wine with Twist cap!!! Both make me feel like drinking cheap alcoholic grape juice!"

And why i listen for? "Pretending can listen the wine singing opera lo."

Nom nom nom. "Wine taste not bad. First node spicy, second node cherry, last node woody.... cheh cheh cheh... pro ni."

Soup 1. Traditional French Onion Soup. "Thick! With bread and cheese on top!"

Soup 2. Cream of Wild Mushrooms. "Not salty enough leh.... chef! Do you expecting your guest to put salt into the soup?!"

Main dish 1. Steam Chilean Sea Bass on Braised Lettuce. "Can't really remember the taste already. So i can concluded whatever the dishes that i can't remember the taste are so so only."

Main dish 2. Beef "Wellington". Now i can taste the saltiness! Sauce is good, beef cooked well."

Little show when the dessert served, too bad that is a mango cheesecake. I HATE MANGO!! Feel dizzy after the dinner, whether the swinging cruise or the wine?

30 March 2011, wake up and pack the luggage before the breakfast. *bad mood* We've quite late for the dim sum session, and i already know that it won't be delicious. Hmp. I'm a Cantonese okay...

Yam cha.

Panda eye pop out seriously after didn't sleep well for few day!! I miss the bear hug from young master. *kiss*

Still eat a piece of Shanghai dumpling to kill the thunder inside my stomach. Yes, young master promised will buy me a good lunch after we land at Penang. *jumping around*

Happy kid that going home.

Look like im really anti social, WTF. "Iphone really kill your boring time (And social skill, eye contact, husband in front as well)."


Conclusion, the best things that i get from this trip is......

1. A doctor in the house.
Young master read few chapter and told me some interesting story inside. Gonna force myself to finish it before 2011 end. *cross finger* "Wah Wah Wah! Thought that's my book leh!"

2. Nando's made me feel alive after stayed at the freaking cruise for few days. *nightmare forever* But from my observation, the portion in Penang is much more than what we can get in KL. Look at the rice and grilled vege they served!!!

Ah, finally THE END.

♥ Starcruise - Day Two ♥

Gonna make this a pics post to save my time. I'm quite busy recently, gonna set up a new department for the shop. Still a lot to learn. Sometimes i feel like give up all these and run away. Holiday mood on again? *sweat*


Let's continue the story~

28 March 2011,
forced myself to wake up early to catch up breakfast with young master. Like what i said at last post, i can't sleep well and the small bed is super uncomfortable!! Ah, gone insane without good sleep. *scream*

The cruise is so bloating all the way, every passenger look so sick, except young master. Damm, he is the one who can survive at cruise. Rainy day, weak sun. *sad*

Ya, my breakkie. Young master gonna bring me to explore those local food when we reach Phuket, I'm not going to make myself so full now.

Waiting at the star lounge on time, so excited.

The weather become so bad and started to rain while we waiting for the transport / small boat that fetch us to Phuket, Patong beach just in front of us!!

My pretty boy. *laugh*

The captain announced that they gonna delay the trip half and hours because the small boats are not save to go out right now. Lots of poor kiddo laying and some aunt and uncle kept complaining that they are headache. Luckily I'm not that kind of serious. TeeHee. The puking feel wont destroyed my shopping mood.

Totally fashion-less when you are in cold.

The temperature inside the cruise drop. Passengers is wonder when we can go out from this stupid swing cruise!!!

And then, the caption announced that the Phuket trip had been canceled!! YA, CANCEL!!!CANCEL!!! CANCEL!!!
Okay, i feel so moody to continue this post again, like, the most failure trip in my life. The most embarrass thing that is i told young master that cruise trip is super enjoying because we don't need to change hotel, pack / unpack to visit different country. Now, we cant even touch the land!!!

Passenger reaction is like, WTF!!!

I'm quite calm at that time, it's still in the early morning, maybe the weather turn better after my 11.30am lunch? Such a positive thinker right? Bring young master to the nearest restaurant because i don't wan to miss the chance to go out when we get the good news.

Salad with variety of cheese. Yum.

I guess both of us are hungry max. Young master get himself a economy rice style buffet and i had a big bowl of salad. Burp.

The most delicious spicy seafood salad. I mean the most unforgettable and best dishes all along the cruise trip.

Random pic that i love. *smile*

We walked to upper deck to check out the weather since the captain didn't have any response to all those angry passenger.
It was like these, THE END OF THE WORLD outside there.

Wow~ scary right?

The opposite side, a nice sandy beach with no one.

Strong wind that cant even move your feet.

How come parents still allow their children to play at the swimming pool during this bad weather. Won't get sick?

The situation turned worst when the captain announce that we are NOT going to Krabi tomorrow too. And the cruise is turning back to Langkawi!! I was like, What? Langkawi??
We went to the reception and found out these were so many passenger complaining the decision that made by captain.

Some of the passenger said out the point that i so agree!!
She said, if the weather forecast said that tomorrow will be thunder storm at Krabi, how come they cant forecast the terrible weather at Phuket when we at Penang!! Dang, got point right?
Anyway, what to do? Who in-charged for the cruise?

Nah nah nah, the big boss.

Using the satellite for surfing internet. Young master is sending mail to office and i just walk around and thinking what we gonna do in these whole day / trip. And the conclusion is...... rest inside the cabin. First, the casino haven't open yet cause we still at Thailand. Then, i'm not interested with those comedy show / movie. Aish, i rest for whole day, ya, stay inside the bloating cruise for whole day!!

Young master woke up around 7pm. Wow, i watched Britain next top model, CSI - Miami, CSI - New York, So you think you can dance!!! We took a late dinner after dolled up. *blush*

Chinese cuisine. No food pics for this dinner, the food wasn't that bad, i just not willing to eat. But im happy to knowing Mr. & Mrs. Chan.

Mrs. Chan is a bit talkative / friendly, telling us how they've meet with captain at the noon, how poor were those Pakistan (explain later), why choose starcruise as they married anniversary, her daughter married....... and so on. I didn't entertain her much, but young master did. Such a polite kid that respect elderly. Young master told me that he feel that Mrs. Chan is like a bit a snobbery after the conversation. *lol* Hope Mr. & Mrs. Chan didn't read my blog. *cross finger* Okay, why those Pakistan so pity? They need 3 days for the Thailand visa application, so now, their visa used / void although they didn't step in Thailand ground!!!
(A side story, some thai tourist places and islands were flooded at the same day and some tourists need boat/ helicopter to save them. I should thank the captain now *wink*)

I forgot what we did after the dinner. *faint* Should be sleep early cause i must go out from this cruise tomorrow!! Don't care that we are going to Langkawi or Krabi. Just f*ck that.

Young master just told me that i miss out the Burlesque show at the first night, ah, i can't remember that. But the 'super computer' young master remembered all! He told me the show hosted by a Philippine girl, load voice with tan skin. Then we watched a dance show performed by 4 muscle guys and a Ukraine belly dancer. The muscle guys can't really dance well la... but the masculine body really heat up those girls' body temperature. *smile* The belly dancer really look stunning! Seems like she replaced her pelvis's bone with a super smooth ball bearing. After the dance show, it was a lip-singing section. A super hot lip-singer singing Celine Dion's songs. (young master 110% guaranteed SHE IS A MAN!) Young master not really enjoy this part, 1. He don't like Celine Dion. 2. She's lip-singing TITANIC song!!! Hello!!! We still on the ship!! 3. Feel like watching Hong Kong 2nd grade singers' concert. Then came the best part, a guy that dressed like a girl did a crazy dance... ran around, spread HER legs wide, use HERbutt to rub some guys face... CLASSIC! Okay! not so boring night, head back to cabin! *yawn*
