Gambling Cruise

My mum woke me up at 6am on Saturday to ask me to go on the cruise ship with her. Since I had slept early the night before, I didn't mind. And I also wanted to know how the place look like.

While waiting at the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, we had nothing better to do, so we decided to try on the Levi's sunglasses and took some photos. Mother look like one of those blind people, all she needed was a walking stick to look like one. Haha..



Let me try it on. Hehe...



We had to go on a ferry called Sea Flyte, and then travel for an hour. After that we reach some ferry terminal which I think is a ferry terminal at Batam, to change to another ferry which is slightly bigger.

After that it took about half an hour to reach the big ship which in the middle of the sea.

Once onboard, the ship crew welcomes us and say 'Good Luck'. Looks like everyone is there to gamble!

My mum wanted to change $1000 chips so that we can get back $40 each as refund for the ferry tickets. I told her not to. Just change $600 and get back $30 each.







Let's see how the outside looks like. Nothing much really.





So, as mum was gambling in the casino, I stayed at the restaurant which meals were served.


There were some buffet counters. So, during meal times, we could eat as much as we want. I didn't eat much for lunch.



After lunch, I went to walk around. Didn't take much photographs...


I was kind of walking around exploring the place. There was nothing much to do. I waited at the cafeteria with my Sony Reader keeping me company. Guess what story I'm reading. :D


At 230pm, there was some performance at the KTV lounge. So, I made my way there to take a look. The singers sang some songs and the audience was allowed to request for songs too.


Drinks were $4 a glass. And there was also a promotion of $10 for 3 glasses. I had some fruit punch.


The show ended at 4pm and the they proceeded to sell some Bingo tickets. I bought one too, just for fun. It only cost $5. In the end, I didn't win anything though.


After that, I went back to the restaurant to wait for dinner and read my ebook. One uncle thought it was a laptop. Haha... And asked me whether I was able to connect to the Internet. He wanted to bring his laptop next time if it was possible. Hahaha...

I don't think I'd go to the cruise with my mum again coz it was a full day of waiting and doing nothing. Maybe if more people (who do not gamble) go together, it'll be more fun.

One more thing, smoking is definitely not banned in all parts of the cruise. I had a hard time breathing and at the end of the day, I smelt like I fell into the ashtray.

Maybe next time, we can go on the Star Cruise. My mum can go gamble, and we can enjoy other facilities.
