sailing on the royal carribean

6 June - 9 June 2012

this is the second time ever stepping on board a cruise.

always had the impression that there's absolutely nothing much to do on cruises, except for eating and sleeping and well...for the married couples, making babies?

and well, after the trip on the royal carribean...i've gathered that...while the main point of cruises remains the buffet spreads...there's actually much much more activities available for people who are opting for a cruise holiday.

royal carribean offers a wide selection of activities ranging from rock climbing, min golf, magic shows, dance performances, movie screenings, casinos, jacuzzi, gym with a sea view, running track with a sea view, table tennis with a sea view....lol.

and i am not even paid to advertise for them >.<

stella and i taking a zi lain shot in our cabin. not as small as i had expected, it was good, felt almost like a normal hotel bedroom!

the deck on level 9. gorgeous pool with 2 jacuzzis under the clear blue skies :)

windjammers dining hall. buffet all day round.

i'm not much of a foodie and i actually hate buffets cause it doesn't make sense to force feed myself just to make my money's worth. it's what i call exponential diminishing marginal utility of food. 

claire, shu min and me.

showing off our muscle power at the gym :P

fools balls

at the mustering session. 

now i know how important it is to learn where the emergency exits are, how to put on the lifejackets on and what to do in times of emergencies. back during the trip, we all took the safety instructions for granted, turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to all instructions related to the mere word "safety". 

However, you really never know what could happen...

Look at Costa Concordia, the French luxury cruise liner...the mere misjudgment of the ship captain could cause an entire luxury liner housing 4,200 passengers and crew to hit the rocks off the coast of the Tuscan island of Giglio and almost sink.

the adorable juniors - shu min & stella

we were learning some line dance. quite entertaining.

posing with the rock climbing which i tried and.... failed :(

apparently there's a certain technique to rock climbing: 80% legs, 20% arm strength.

but really, it felt like 99.999% arm strength and 0.0001% leg strength.

and obviously, i don't have much arm power...

barely made it through half the wall >.<
