Bittersweet and scary holiday…

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Just came back from the very short cruising trip… This is
my first time on cruise with Virgo and also taking a train to Singapore to embark to the cruiseIt
was not only the beauty of this big and beautiful ship but also the horrible
first and last by taking a train… It was so horrible coz not only it took
extremely long to get to Singapore,
is also very dirty and uncomfy… Can you imagine it takes so long yet not comfortable?
Whatever it is, I personally think is really not worth wasting so much time on
that train but till you get in to the ship I guess you will forget the
bitterness in that train haha… The ship is beautiful and lots of activities
with their facilities… Is quite relaxing and it can be a small lil honeymoon
vacation haha coz i think it can be quite romantic to walk around that ship at
night ;p…

There is another once in a life time experience thing that happened while on
cruise as I saw a tornado so close to the ship in the middle of the sea… Is
exactly what you see in that movie Twister… The whole thing from the sky to
the sea and you can see that the sea water was spinning and splashing…here is
the picture i took with my phone and the ship is moving too fast and within minutes it is already far away…

After the whole trip i thought maybe i can go home with a
comfortable coach and who knows taking a coach can actually have sleepless
night… I think its all begin when we reach Singapore and feeling all tired
and trying to get a quick dinner and as usual we as in me and my family wanted
to find place with more choices ended up we had one in Harbour Front or is it
call Vivo City… After the dinner we went and ask around where is the place
where we take our bus, so happen my brother asked this particular person and he
said the journey to that place was 30 - 45mins where it only takes 15 mins…
Because of that miscommunication we actually rush like mad, as the time we
found out was already 9.15pm and the
time we suppose to catch the bus was like 10pm.
What scare us was the queue for us to hailed a cab was like so so long… and
we finally paid 3 times more just to get a there… After reaching Golden Miles
we got into the bus where we didn’t paid for is also fine…There got 2 drivers
to switch as our journey back was quite far… 1 of the driver is inexperience
maybe as half the journey through maybe he is sleepy or trying to reach the
destination much faster by driving really fast till he got out of control and
our bus actually sway left and
right… That is freaking me out… and after we shouted he slow down the speed
but his actions is crazy as he off the air cond and the headlights after few
second only he switch it on again…scary… and now I’m sleepy again shall go
to bed or else i will be off tomorrow…
