after our late lunch wif 2nd boss...we rush for this Colin's TV game show-"The Weakest Link"...the white colar, wif respect, named Colis was the cruise's director and also host for this show...(to mention, he oso host the Kingdom of Kung Fu last nite..)...

at first me, jackson and Yap Chai (in light pink) was totally dunno wat's the game about...v were juz plan to watch...when one pirate gals came to us for our name and country...i thought it was some sort of lucky draw...fine lo...

but later they call jackson name...then jackson randomly pick yap chai, yap chai pick us...we were blur and wat's the game was about ? after picking up 7 participant only colin explain to us slowly how the game run...i was surprise when the show test my general knowledge...and in the end of each round, we hav to vote someone out, and then he/she will awarded "The Weakest Link"...i guess it was nothing to proud to name so...haha...the first time, three of us together vote Lucy out..and it was realize by colin when he decide to change our position to be separate...haha...luckily i was safe until the middle of the game...yet, i got the title...and since so, i heard ppl call us "the weakest link" twice...

around 4pm, we were catch up wif candy painting and leaf folding...we were given each one leaf to fold grass hopper...it was tough without the help from china cruise staff as the demostration was complex...
this is wat i had made...haha...nice...??

3 guys wif 3 grass hoppers....hahaha...

i hope i got clearer image on this awesome creation..

it was BBQ Party at the pool side...but we bring the food back to restaurant nearby..after the dinner, we rush for 'The Break Up" at The Lido...it was a small cinema wif poor image quality...and it without subtitle...v were so bored inside..

after the movie, we went around waiting for our next program...tonite, there's no free show but 'Tsai Chin' mini concert is going on...

the only group photo which look nice..

yes...i sign up for "Las Vegas Styled Topless Show"...for SD$20...it was juz 11pm, but our tiredness make the show seem uninteresting...this was commented by others also...the ladies was dancing normal wif topless...no sexy scene in which can make u high...hahaha...i can say it was normal..

to make the night endless, we wait after the topless show for another movie-Happy Birthday...nothing else to do though...haha...so the movie was quite bored, but touching in the end..

the movie end on 1.40am...so v juz walk around, wif chill wind blowing...until our stomach call (v miss the supper)...so now i had to pay $9.50 to had my late supper...this is when i had the 'singapore style hokkien mee'..v pay our visit to the pool side, starring at the star, moon light..it was really relieve...v back our cabin on around 3am...haha...

Super Star Virgo: Day 1

9 March 2007

Today, i was so lucky and excited to join the company's trip, in which i'll take bus to singapore first and later sail with the Super Star Virgo, one of the Star Cruise fleet...the only dissapointing is we juz sail to international water instead of stop at any location like Penang, Klang, Phuket...but, this is the tour we got..so nothing complain..anyhow, it's free oso..i juz spend on extra...hahaha...

9.00am, all CBH's staffs, spouses and childrens gathered at Menara Axis, waiting the travel bus, Aeroline..i wonder y it was named Aeroline wif motto "a convenient way to fly"...but guess wat...it really provide services as if u in aeroplane..in which means tat v got free meal and drink...haha...anyhow, it juz took 4 hours to reach singapore..so it's a fine journey...to me la..haha

"it's double decker and this is wat it look like on lower level...it seems more comfort and i logically dedicated to boss..haha"

"Spaghetti Chicken Bolognaise-nice and sweet lunch in bus...tat's y it name aeroline even it's not aero..haha"

we watch the movie "Babel"...starring Brad Pitt...tat is the only person i know...haha...if u plan to c the movie, i would advise u not to continue reading...as the movie was damn damn good...so if u read the review, no more curiousity inside...hahaha...

The director shoot 4 different storyline and cultures (American, Morocco, Mexico & Japan), but they are interrelated to each other...these stories really look normal, even few mins after the movie start, i really blur n guessing wat is this story about...it look no interesting at all..i still wonder y it rated 4 stars in CinemaOnline...but after the Moroccon kid make it shoot to a bas...everything become curiously, stress...the story start showing reality...For me, the movie like "holding" my heart...all the feel was juz so amazing...curiousity, anger, helpless, lonely, love, sad, depress...i'm telling u, i love this movie...i can't imagine how many awards they'll get from this movie...check this nominations

1st Storyline:

A Moroccon father bought a rifle to his sons in purpose of killing wolf..as they are feeding sheep for sell...the rifle was said can shoot up to 3km...so the kid aim at a American Tourist bus...and then...

The Moral of this story: Do consider the consequences when we do something and never try to do the first wrong...as there's no return path...

2nd Storyline:

An Americon married couples, went to Morocco to be alone from problem they facing, but the wife get shot while travel by bus..yes...the same bus as above...the husband was then desperately getting help..but because of political problem, they have to wait for rescue for another 5 days..in which the wife is still moan in pain...wif no any medication..

3rd storyline:

A desperately deaf and mute young japanese gal..hmm..this story was describing the loneliness and helpless of a deaf n mute gal...but her father use to gave the rifle to the Moroccons whom sell the weapon to another..

4th storyline:

A nanny cross the Mexico border illegally, taking two American children, attending her son's wedding nite...

Want know more about the movie, go catch it..it really worth to see...if u like something touching....and i can assure u like the ending as well...

Not to miss, the director present this movie especially to his childern...he quoted,

"There are still bright in darkest night"
