The chinese cultural cruise trip was super fun but exhausting and i'm feeling very lethargic now. I keep craving for sleep all the time. I hope my sore eyes gets better before leaving for philippines on tuesday. I pray... -_-"

Ha, the 'ghost' yy was playing which i thought was real cause she kept knocking on the door then yan jie and i keep opening and closing the door to find nobody there. Hee, you can hear yj say 'nobody nobody...' at the later part of the video. :D

Day 1, we reported at harbourfront centre at 2.30pm. We gathered into our groups and waited for quite sometime before we checked in and did the necessary checks of bags and our luggages. I was in aquarius, yj was in saggitarius, yy was in scorpio and hui ru was in aries. At 3.30pm, we boarded the ship and took pictures with some of the entertainers and people. At 4pm, it was the opening ceremony of teh cruise by the captain of the ship and some of the directors of 我报 and sph. After that, we had a talk with 李欣赏, one of the photographers from 我报 newspaper. He had a talk with us about how to take nice pictures throught different angles of taking and using 自然光 to take. For example, not using created light of your own to take but using the light from the sun like sitting near the window can also create a great effect on the photo itself. He told us about the different contrast between 早报，我报，晚报，新民, etc.

He was showing photos of car accidents, emergency exercises and old folks staying in 1-room flats. Then suddenly after that, he showed us a picture of 周杰伦. Haha, then the whole group started laughing. Then he told us that when rain came, he had a press conference and he did not smile throughout the whole thing. When they had the QA session, suddenly he raised his hand as a photographer, not a journalist and asked him to smile. Hee, then when the translater translated it to rain, he said lots of korean words but still smiled in the end. Haha, the way he told us the whole story was so funny... :D

After that we had some time to tour the cruise before the fire drill. Then at 8pm, the cruise started its journey. We had dinner at 8.15pm at Ocean Palace at deck 4 that was serving chinese food. Then after that we had tobathe and had supper at Mariners Buffet at deck 9 that served international food. After supper was wash up time and bed time! Our lights out that day was at 1am and we had to wake up at 6.30pm the next day. I shared my cabin with Gina, Le Le and Xin Yi. We had problems with our air-con and had to ask the repair service to fix it. In the end, the 4 of us slept at 2am plus.

Day 2, we woke up at 6.30am, washed up and went up to deck 10 to have morning exercise. It was supposed to be jumping jets and crab walk. Our group, aqua for short, did like only 3 to 4 crab walks and went for breakfast immediately. Haha, we went to Mariners Buffet at 7.30am to eat breakfast, went back to our cabins and changed to our appropriate attire for arrival at KL which was the blue camp shirt with long pants and covered shoes. We had the drama talk at boomers disco located at deck 8 then arrived at KL. I was in bus 2 together with gina and the other 12 people from aqua. We visited Guag Hua School in and were warmly greeted by the students.

They presented a wonderful performance and of course, our dear singaporeans did a great job presenting the dance, "We will get there" and the song, "如燕". We had lunch there which was 三层肉 with rice and/or buffet lunch with orange juice. We didn't get the chance to interact with the students a lot so we didn't pass to them our gifts too. After that, because of time constrain, we did not have time to visit the twin towers but only had the chance to pass by it and take a quick snapshot of it. We also went to some chocolate shop. The chocolates there were extremely expensive although many people still bought it. I didn't so i just took a lok around it and ate lots of samples that tasted great. Haha, after 1 round of walking in the shop, i had quite a number of samples...

At 4pm, we boarded back on the ship and had to bathe. We had some more talks at 4.30pm and had italian dinner at four seasons restaurant located at deck 4. It was HEAVEN. I fell in love with the pasta and garlic soup. Man, that was the best meal i had during the entire cruise. Hee, then after dinner there were some group activites and free time so we practised the dance and song performance at deck 6 which was the basketball court area. Lucky many of us had already learnt it online so it wasn't much of a problem to rehearse it. There was a magic show at 9.30pm but i didn't watch it so we just had supper at 10.15pm and it was nappy time. I think i slept earlier that night, at around 1 plus.

Day 3, we woke up at 6.30am as usual , washed up and went up to deck 10 to have morning exercise. Apparently the morning exercise was slack also. Ha, then we had an extra temperature taking since we didn't have it yesterday morning. After that was breakfast at Mariners buffet again, changing to apporpriate outfit which was the blue camp tee with long pants and covered shoes for the arrival at penang. We didn't have time for the talks so it was postponed to day 4. Then, we arrived at penang and went to the 槟城华人大会堂. There were great dance erfomances by the students of penang and of course, our singaporeans. Haha, we also did not have much time to exchange and pass our gifts to the students so in hte end we kept the 2 gifts for ourselves.

We went to the 土产店 and i bought 豆沙饼 and cuttefish crackers for my family. I spent about 21RM plus in malaysia only and that shows that i'm thrifty eh? I saved about 29.20RM. Ha, many people were grabing the 豆沙饼 like anything. You wouldn't have the chance to see the producrs. You only had the chance to reach in your arm, take a sample of the flavour you want, whether is it original, red bean, pandan, etc and shout out to the aunty which flavour you want that's all. Haha, many people bought GAO LAK also. It was in those packet packet kind. I bought 1 packet and had it on the bus. After that, we went to the beach and took a huge group photo with the banner. At 2pm, we boarded the cruise and had tea break. Thenat 3pm, we had group activites and it was a chance for aqua to have a last reahearsal before the Captain's Night which was also known as Glam Night. Haha, at 4pm, we had the 逃脱术表演.

Then at 4.30pm, we had the 分组竞赛游戏. We had to complete 4 stations, each with its own rules and regulations. YHe 1st one we did was with saggitarius and each group had to come with as many 成语s that has colours inside. The group with the most number of 成语s wins. The 2nd one was that everyone had a playcard and they will give questions. Then we have the answer using the play cards. The 3rd on was photo hunt. We only managed to do the one at the fitness centre, the ping pong table, the room and the life boat. As for the last station, we did not have time for it so we went straight to our cabin to bathe and chnged to our glam wear outfit to get ready for the Captain's Night. At 7pm, we went for dinner at Mariners Buffet and at 8.30pm, the Glam Night started.

The items that came were song, rest and relax, Q and As and thenthe dance item. Our group performed the song 细水长流 and the dance hoedown throwdown by miley cyrus. After the party we went back to our cain nad had our own free time. I went to yan jie's room to revise scores for carolling the next day at century square. Her room was 07008 and mine was 3266 so i had to walk quitea number of times to get toher room cause i got lost sometimes. Ha, apparently yy was in the room but she didn't come out and acted as the invisible 'ghost' i thoghgt was real. While i was revising scores, the rest of the aqua members were playing indian poker and it ended up to become a kissing game. Haha, all the 第一次 all gone. I want to thank yj for taking care of me that night and scouting for help. Thank you so much! After that, yj and i walked to refill our bottles, walked around and i went back to my cabin with yj casue she wanted to see how crowded our cabin was. I slept after she left and it was quite early that day. Since i was quite sick, i needed some rest as well so i slept a little earlier.

Day 4, we woke up at 8am, later than usual and had breakfast at 8.30am at four seasons restaurant. After that, we had the dance lesson at the stardust lounge at deck 5 by the odyssey dance theatre i think. It was quite fun but the space there was really too small to squeeze so many people. After that we had the music and song lyrics writing lesson at boomers disco, deck 8. after that, we went for lunch and then it was the debating session.

2 members from aqua paired up with anther 2 from scorpio and our debate topic was whether should singlish be promoted in singapore. We were the opposing side and we won. After the debate session was the closing ceromony session. Before that, Dian Jun and the photographers shared their pictures and videos that they took throughout the entire trip. After the closing ceremony we went back to our cabins to doa last minute packing and headed back to stardust lunge to collect our passports and then to galaxy of the stars located at deck 5 so that we can gather and leave as a group.

The cruise was supposed to arrive at 6.30pm bt there was a delay so in the end, yy, yj and i were late bya bit for carolling. We only managed to sing 3 carolling songs with the choir and that was, "12 Songs of Christmas", "Thank You For the Music" and "It's A Grand Night For Singing". The sop 1s were super surprised that we managed to rush down in time just to join them for carolling. After that, i went home and had a nice shower. Unexpectedly, i plonked onto my bed and fell fast asleep.

Haha, this really sounds like a personal recount or you can say a super long composition. Hee, wells, gotta go! Tomorrow i'll be flying to philippines at 12pm so i need to sleep. Good night! :D
