Steamboat Gathering


I barely remember when is my last steamboat meal, this time courtesy to my buddies for setting up this steamboat gathering. Nothing much to share but just wanna say do gather with your friends more often, as a good friendship wasn't easy to acquire and learn to appreciate it. 
Busy Preparing
Enjoying the food
Friendship forever!!!

Super Star Virgo

Star Cruise Virgo from the coach window

Well this time I got the luxury from my supplier for this cruise ship trip. This was my first time sailing a cruise and the experience was fun but still not up to maximum fun. Every single thing was transacted in Singapore dollars. So you pay for the alcohol, casinos, shows, foods and beverages are all in Singapore dollars. I got to pay more than double as I'm earning RM. 

Anyway I still manage to have fun during this 4 days 3 nights trip.  The trip route is actually departed from Harbour Front , Singapore about 5 pm in the evening, arriving Phuket 6 pm the next day. Passengers got 6 hours off from the cruise taking some Phuket tour, or you can just stay.  Leaving Phuket about 2 am in the morning, and then arriving Langkawi about 10 am. Another ground tour for the passengers. Right after Lamgkawi, then it will be heading back to Singapore and estimated arrival in the evening the next day. 

Cruise Card
This is the card you'll be using for the whole trip for your room access, your expenses at the restaurants, and bars. Each card was preset with the spending limit of SGD1000. What if you had finished spending before the trip end, simple just go to the reception, clear up your outstanding, then you got another grand limit. It is so convenient, but the limit with this card is not eligible with chips at casino. Means you got to play exchange with real cash at the casino.

Above are just some of the facilities I managed to snap. I was busy with my alcohol and casino, just want to relax myself . Not to forget a great wine and cigar during our spare time in the evening time.

Gotta say, overall experience for this trip was fun, and for me alone to come again, no..... Next time will be me and my family on board. See you again Super Star Virgo.
