Star Cruise Aquarius

I longed for a break, & guess wat? i juz came home from a 3D2N cruise trip.I'm sad to say that this is actually my 1st cruise trip & it juz so happened to be Aquarius, same as my horescope.

I boarded Star Cruise Aquarius last friday.

Day 1;

This is a muz have key for entering our suite.

See, such a nice number ya? & as we enter.....

A bar counter....
With a seaview balcony!
Our cosy movie corner....

Comfortable bed,

Clean & spacious bathroom.
Aquarius is setting off. Goodbye Singapore, i will be back!

Night fell & its dinner time. I had a yong tau foo with black bean sauce for dinner,

Followed by some mini cakes as desserts.
After dinner, we returned to our suite,the housekeeping guy sent us some sushi as a complimentary to welcome us on board.
Not forgetting the fruit platter.

After all the unpacking of our clothing, we rented serveral DVDs on board to kill times. We watched Garfield 2,The Mummy,Mystic River,The Golden Compass etc.Haiz... it was such a movie marathon.

Day 2;

Becoz of the movie maraton, i didn;t get to zzz. I waited for sunrise instead. This sunrise pic was taken at about 6.40am. It was very cloudy tt morning, didn't get a snap at the sun.
Now, wat's for breakfast at 7am? My fren's mum brought us to Dynasty Restaurant, a chinese foodie place where she frequents on board

Their siew mai taste ok to me. Not say very fantastic
Their famous char siew paus~springy & spongy pau skin with fragrant char siew fillings inside.Yummy!

As we were not so a chinese food fan, lucky this restaurant serve western dishes as well. This is my fren's favourite ham & cheese omeletteI ordered a ham & mushroom omelette for myself.
Assorted danish to go with hot tea.

After breakfast, we explore the cruise ship. Nothing much, other than casino & longue,looks like there'r no other entertainments.We returned to our room to continue our movie marathon.

We had an early lunch at 11.25am.As usual lah, nothing to do on board, the onli entertainment is eat & sleep. haha....

It was a buffet style lunch, i had some baked salmon,salad,toufu,sambal prawns with long beans & baked chicken.

The mushroom & spinach quiche is fantastic. The crust is very crispy & fragrant. Unlike those buttery dry flaky crust.

I always look forward to the desserts.Other than cut fruits,they have a wide variety of mini cakes.

After lunch its free & easy timing. Some went to the casino,some went to dreamland.Zzzz.............

As for me, i had my own entertainment.After a gd time soaking in the bath tub,i sat by the balcony,enjoying seabreeze & a cup of tea with my fren.

My fren soon doze off whereas i continue enjoying my afternoon tea & done some reading.

Like wat my fren says, onli entertainment on board is eat & in fact, they ate up till 5 meals per day when they were on board. Not forgetting the sandwiches & mee goreng in the casino.

Haiz...so sinful to eat so much.For those on a diet or trying to lose an inch, u better stay away. As for me,i'm not the teabreak & supper person.

Ding Dong...the doorbell rang.

See wat we have here!?!? mooncakes! yeah...as the following day is mid authum festival, we received a box of mini mooncakes & chinese chess.So lovely!

Times flies & its time for the next meal. We gotto had our dinner early as we got tickets to a singing competition finals.

We intend to have a BBQ dinner on the deck.

I took some BBQ food & salad~ the pan fried dory fish is fantastic.Crispy on the outside,tender inside.Fish meat isn't too flaky when cooked. Add a touch of lemon juice, to enhance the freshness & sweetness of the fish.
Other than this, the bbq honey chicken wings are tender & tasty.Too bad i dun fancy beef,heard that the steaks were great.

The onli disappointing part was the pumpkin soup. Pumpkin wasn't blend to a smooth puree b4 cooking. Yucks... i took a mouthful & wasted the rest.

I didn't have time for dessert. As i suddenly remembered that i failed to capture sunrise, should at least capture sunset for the day ya! haha... & so off i went around the deck to find a gd spot to capture sunset.

See......isn't it beautiful?

I managed to capture a moonview 1 day b4 mid authum festival.

Such a bright & round moon.Nah.... this is a fake wan. Its actually the round ceiling lamp in the suite.Cotcha! haha........

Day 3;

Aquarius will be reaching singapore at 10.30am 14.09.08. So sad, its time to go back, end of my break. :-(

I enjoyed my last meal of breakfast at bout 7.30am. After breakfast,went back to pack my stuff & wait for aquarius to enter singapore.

Here we are, Singapore Island! Its reali home sweet home.I had such a wonderful time of relax,get together with my frens. Time to face reality,recharge my energy for work 2molo! keke...
