Day 2(Port Kelang)
I woke up early to watch the sunrise at 6.46am. At that time, the cruise had already arrived at the Port Kelang. After which, I went to the gym with papa. Ran only 2.4km on the trackmill.

We took a taxi back to the cruise and headed to Windjammer Restaurant for late lunch. After which, we went back to stateroom to take a rest after a day of shopping and to change for formal night. We went to Romeo & Juliet for dinner. (I mixed up all the photos,so i can't remember which photos are the ones taken on that day)

After a tired but fun-filling day, we went back to the stateroom to rest .

Day 3(Phuket)
Again, I woke up early in the morning and sat at the balcony alone waiting for the sunrise at the same time listening to some music. (hopefully i didn't disturb the neighbours) but i was too tired from yesterday and went back to sleep. Breakfast at Romeo&Juliet for day 3. The food was okay,just that there's no buffet:( Have to wait for the waiter to serve us. We met a group of Indonesians and one of them were very enthusiastic for food and this was how we all started chatting our experience onboard so far. Nice meeting them and before leaving we took a group photo, but I realised the photo was taken using their camera:( Thereafter,we went to the Purser Desk to borrow scrabble and went to the cards room to play. Some were playing mahjong while some were playing blackjack.
Let's play scrabble!
Hmm,let me see...
Think hard
I got it!
What a nice set of alphabets!
I'm winning
THE END

After the game, we went back to the to change and proceeded to Windjammer Restaurant for lunch. By 1am, the cruise have already arrived at Phuket. As there was no port at Patong beach,Phuket, we had to take a boat to the beach. As such, we went to collect the tender tickets and waited for almost 2 hours before our tender tickets number was called. By that time, it was already 3pm. We walked around the beach not  knowing where we're heading t,o until we saw a small shopping centre. There was nothing much inside and hence we decided to take a taxi to a larger shopping centre. The driver drove us round and round but not to the shopping centre. By the time we reached the shopping at Phuket town, it was already 5pm. We only had a little time to shop,so we did a quick one. Lesson learnt.

We took a taxi back again to the beach and there was traffic jam! Almost couldn't catch up with the last boat. We went to Windjammer Restaurant for dinner for that day as Romeo & Juliet was already closed.(Late dinner). We went back to the stateroom, I lied flat and fell asleep.

Day 4(Onboard for the whole day)
We decided to skip breakfast to catch more sleep. By the time we got ready, it was already lunchtime. As usual, we headed to Windjammer Restaurant for lunch. The housekeeper also folded animals using towels and i was totally fasinated by it. As such, I went to the Scooner Bar for Napkins Workshop.
Doggie!

Following that, we went to the casino to try our luck, but luck wasn't on our side. I would say the casino there is not strict at all because there wasn't any security guards to stop those below 18. Sis wanted to try rock climbing so went back to stateroom to change. There was also a mini golf course beside it. But eventually rock climbing failed because it started to drizzle.




Since rock-climbing failed, we went to explore the cruise again. Went sitting around and eating xD (again)
