Onboard Star Aquarius!

View from Harbourfront Cruise Centre: Getting ready to go onboard!

Checking in...

11 years ago, we stayed in cramped cabins with double decker beds; now the cabins are much more spacious!



Sumptuous lunch at Dynasty Restaurant, with yummy cakes and pies!

I must say I really had a good break during the cruise! Well, there wasn't much to do except to stuff myself silly with the yummies and take little naps when there weren't any interesting programmes. What a waste of time by sleeping away, you may think, but waking up at 6am to catch the morning sunrise (and sleeping at 1am the night before) was really tiring! Of course I needed to make up for the lack of sleep! :P

The casino was really an eye opener. It was much much bigger than the one at Genting. My little sis and I had a great time going from table to table, not to play, but to figure out how the different games worked. Heeheehee! We even discussed which game dealer had an easier time in his/her work!

Oh yes, almost forget, I counted more than 70 stars on the night on 2 Aug 2008! At first I could only see a few bright stars but as I stared longer into the sky, my eyes were able to see more and more faint stars. Hmm.... This taught me not to see things on the surface only... and to be more patient.... :)
