4D3N Penang/Phuket cruise! :)

First day
last sunday, excited hubbi & me left our home for the long awaited cruise trip! :)
so by 1pm, we were at harbourfront ready to board our ship! this was my 3rd time on board & hubbi's virgin cruise trip, heh.
and we were in awe of the interior of the ship! it was H-U-G-E & very nice!!


the main lobby


our humble shack

our room! :))


after unpacking our stuff, we headed out for lunchie! we've 3 choices on board - chinese, western & buffet. we've tried all 3 but i love the chinese restaurant the most! the food was delicious and nicely served out in dishes. ha.

the rest of the day was spent running all over the ship, doing this and that. hubbi and i managed to catch a show, played bingo (didnt win), strolled along the deck, went to the library (ha!) & had a buffet dinner (s0-s0 only). and of cos, we went to the casino!! and won ourselves $50! not too bad for a start since we managed to win-lose, win-lose and survived 2 hrs+ in the casino. hehe.


2nd day
we reached penang ard noon & we've ard 4-5 hours to spare there. but penang is really boring and nothing much to shop. still, i managed to find things to buy.... COMICS! yesh, comics!! while it costs $5 per piece here, it was only $3.50 RM there!!!! which is ard $1.6 per piece. i almost gagged. those who know me will know how much i adore comics. so i lugged back 51 (yesh, FIFTY-ONE) comics back singapore. ha.

on our way to penang on small tender boat.

we were back on board by 5pm and after a nice nap back at our cabin, we went for a movie (again). after which, we went to the deck to catch the sunset!~ sunset is always so much harder to catch than sunrise. its just too fast! luckily we manged to catch it twice this trip.

sunset!

hubbi and i went for dinner after sunset & we spent some lovely times just lounging around the many cosy areas on board. and then.. its casino time again! ha, i swear there's a gambling bone in me somewhere. and this night, we managed to win an additional 80 bucks (all in all we've $130 winnings!). blackjack is really cool! ha.

3rd day

finally we managed to catch the only n only sunrise for this trip today. we were about to reach phuket, and the sunrise just came up over the island. nice!

the ship reached phuket at 8am but we took our time to have breakfast, bath & relax before disembarking. cos the shops at patong beach is only opened at 11am. heh.

phuket is hot hot hot! and as we walked towards the beach, there was this ang moh auntie standing topless, looking at the group of us. i was pretty amused by her saggy boobs but those uncles/aunties behind me were quite horrified. lolz.


my first time here at phuket!

hubbi + me!

phuket is slightly better than penang, at least there's shopping. we managed to buy some decorations (plates, candles etc) for our home, wacoal bra/panties, accessories, cutie notebook + photo albums for me!

oh and hubbi treated me to a pedi+mani too! only 300 baht! which is ard $13 in all for both mani & pedi! ridiculously cheap! *happy*

we went back on board for dinner around 5pm & there was gala dinner that night. reservations for gala dinner was made on the 1st day and we chose the western menu for it has beef for hubbi & shitake mushrooms for me! *weeeee*

luck at the casino was kinda bad as we lost all the remaining winnings (we used part the winnings to buy stuff at phuket :)). and we walked out of the casino with nett loss of $50. i was decidedly disappointed. i have to be a lucky girl, no?

last day

the day went past in a blur. and before we know it, we were back at singapore at 7pm! how time flies.

but i would love to go on a cruise again! the feeling of doing stuff with the knowledge that you are in fact cruising along on the sea is very nice!!!

okie tata, im coming down with a cold soon and i hate it!
