Cruise Journey 9.5

Finito!

Thank God that I'm leaving, pretty much at the right time..

Schedule is starting to make no sense again..

And it won't bother me anymore muahahha

last few visits around before i go off~
Busan! some museum i think..abit like aquaria, mini one..

robotic fish =O

Nagasaki~

'Party'/supper time!

Round 2 with another bunch..

 Last Nagasaki!

Final few days were 'annoying'..

And went to eat at one of the dining on board..kinda unpleasant experience..

Damn, super not worth it, not only not worth it, but eat till so mm song summore..urgh

Really thank God I'm no longer need to follow his lame logic n instructions..

On my last day, yesterday, something happened, interesting experience but saddening result/ending..

Almost couldn't come back haha but still, here I am at the airport..

Babi, gonna waste so much time waiting n all..

N I hate to travel alone cos I'm gonna be so lost ish

Baggage overweight..a little..

Had such hard time fitting everything in..

Reaching kl airport at 4am omg

And poor me, as usual, no transport..not like I wan mafan ppl to pick me at such odd hours also la..Soh meh..

Frequently asked question before I left..

How/why did I lose so much weight =S

Well, it's planned..back to 4 years back! See, the point of keeping old clothes, now I can wear back those that I couldn't fit in last year lollll

and I hope I don't gain back!!!

So I guess that summarized my cruising 'trip'..lets c what's next..

Cruise Journey 9/9

I'm upset. With work.

U know how sometimes I dislike things that doesn't make sense..

Body can't take it too..or more like my back..sign of old age..and my wrist too..

New colleague and I feel bad for being too 'cold'..but I really Beh tahan at times..or more like most of the time..

Sorry for being judgmental..

The only way to press on the whole month is to tell myself it's ok, one more month to go.

Finally went back to fellowship after so long..and gym as well..hehe

Been to training for junior waiter..well, good opportunity but as much as I don't know if I'm coming back..we'll see..

NevertheLess, great trainer, definitely a refresher on what I've learned before..

And ofcos, thank God for letting me score really well..sort of..

Ship had been really rocky recently..typhoon apparently..but thank God, it doesn't really cause major seasickness..

Malaysian band left jor...but a new Malaysian band came on board..hehe

Many grandma on board makes me think of my grandma..

I wonder if I'll b onboard if she's still around..

She prolly discourage me to do so..not like it matters, but she's one of the person I could crap with at home on house matters..or almost any matter..=\

2 more weeks, or less to go for me!

2.5 more cruises..

Continuation of How blessed I am so far..That I can think of for now too hehe

1. To have a nice roomie..

2. Roomie 1 to loan me panty hose as I didn't have black one

3. Roomie 2 loan me her shoe before she move cabin

4. If I hadn't bought the white shoe n know they have a black one, I wouldn't be able to shop so quickly n buy a comfortable black shoe, the same one lol

5. Cabin for 3 is bigger than 2, and most of the time it's just 2 of us, more space n less sharing! Only recently another girl req to change cabin n now there's 3 of us..

6. Receiving compliments and being in favor by superiors (at least I think so)

7. To notice there's Sunday service and participate

8. Getting promoted after 4 months (name submitted before asst matre'D left!)

9. Manage to get sales, top sales for first round n get lots of time off, especially during busy moments too

10. What else? Blessed by these people that always brought food back!

11. Manage to lose approx 6kg? Jor Heheh

12. This ship is so cincai..cant imagine if I land on a stricter ship..

13. Lose the trolley can't find but found after I prayed about it hehehe

14. Remain where I work when they decided to do rotation..twice! I don't want to go any other place!

15. Schedule had been pretty good recently..timing that I wanted at the right time

16. Passed my training with 'flying colours'

Cruise Journey 8/9

Yoo hoo~ here comes another month..

No chance to visit Xiamen..it's ok..

If only it helps to make my calf smaller haha

Left 15 mb Internet from July to last till mid sept..

And blessing came upon! Was given some data from fren who left the ship..got 100mb loll..but ofcos I won't use all lah, just 'emergency' heheh

Went to crew bar on Latin night..sudd got invited to dance..and ofcos i 'rejected' it..omg I felt so baddd..like damn lc..but actually is im just too shy cos i donno how to dance lorhhh..imagine so many unknown eyes looking at u dancing, like how I watch ppl dance lol

And and and, I....bought a new phone..money fly away jorrrr..

Not that I need it now, but sudd ppl talk bout it n mention bout discount in Japan etc..chiu, discount sikit je..cheaper than Msia sikit je..but end up still buy =|

Not gonna spend anymoreeee..dine on ship, crew tour, all cancel lol

Change supervisor again, not sure if it's a good thing but It seems n I hope it is..

Last 1.5 months..let's make it good!

Cruise Journey 7/9

What a month..not a very good month..last month starts to get bad, n now this month is getting worse..I believe coming months will be difficult as well..

Had a pretty no good schedule..And Really, Im getting more annoyed with the sales thingi..

Change supervisor lagi..and again..n again..

It seems/looks like a competition now..even between supervisors..

Now always need think service or sales? Sales, which sales?

Diff ppl want u to sell diff thing, which do u sell?

Go somewhere else sell, come back need zap sau Mei lagi..tired die me ahhhhh!

Unfortunately I need to stay this way till the end of my contract..urgh

For the first time I actually had a little tot of quitting..omg lol

Seriously, sales, sth that I'm not good at, or, do not like to do..

Macam got trauma, pre-turnaround day depression starts..

I'll not enjoy my work when 'these people' r still around..

Do too lil, kena..do own part, kena..do too much, kena..

Finally got chance to see Shanghai! After so long..although just for 2 hours lol..

Looks like now turnaround day got chance to go out jor..hehe but macam get late shift most of the time..aih..mentally tired..

No luck to visit Xiamen..

Ate n bought a lot of small snacks in Shanghai..eat eat eat only tahu hehe

But missed the chance to visit hakata again..wtc..damn tak Puas..next hope, next month!

There's this bbq buffet in Busan, so yummy..not like cheap, but if compare with msia, i guess its ok..BBQ leh! buffet leh! got wifi summore! hahha

There's another buffet in nagasaki Japan..not too bad lah..ehehe..and start to road around again..
looks like its all about buffet =D..but not bad ma, if u dont really know where to go, so u go to buffet where it has almost all u wanted..

A quick trip to the 'volcano mountain' in Japan Kagoshima..tho it didn't turn out as expected but it's not too bad lol..

Macam trekking jungle..as we don't know where to go n no time to view map..
although we could see the volcano from terminal, but hey! everyone can take pic there..how many actually have pictures from the place we unintentionally discovered (well, there's no need to trek thru actually, as can walk main road..hahaha)..but its the experience ba =D

So many pictures this time because my kaki roaming loves to take pics..all my photo credit to Rong, the photographer..haha

2 more places on my visit list before I return home..Okinawa n hakata..n Xiamen also la if possible..

Received a bad news on 23rd June morn..As Jo's dad decided to leave us..

I don't know how to react when i saw the news..

The feeling is no good when ure not able to be there for someone u care about..

And I kept thinking bout my grandma as well =(

June, really hasn't been good..

Till the end to the month, whether it's work related or things back home..too many changes n things to think about..

I'm so physically mentally n emotionally affected and I wanted to go home so badly or more like leave this place..

2.5 months, seems short, but time passes really slow to me now..I'm gonna struggle trough the 2 months I'm sure..

I can almost not able to take it anymore..

Damn, I sounded like a weakling..

O Lord, please bring me through..

Cruise Journey 6/9

First day of May, labour day lehh, and suddenly They started to send me to dining for support..o Lord..why....

But thank God! The waiter was someone I worked with before for my first 2 times, I damn noob, but since it's him, not too bad..can't imagine if its other waiter, I'll b like so lost n noob..

When chance to go dining come, I don't want to >< summore it's support..

Anyway, only support twice or trice, and I thank God for that..

Get promoted or not, doesn't bother me anymore..

If only I could get promoted n stay at where I am now..

It's funny that things I wanted back then, now I got no interest at all..hehe

Hk overnight again, tak jadi go for my hop on n off bus =(

At night no kaki to go out cos all finish work early, but! Went out with the Msian singers hehehe as they were performing till late also..

Polo butter bun..

Got off at Keelung, Taiwan..new port..yummy food, but I was just too noob to know what r they selling..gahh..prob of not knowing how to read =(..and no friends with me cos those from China can't go out..adui..

Donno what this called..Msia chef belanja geh..

Coming ports r all Korea n Japan jor..

Was late once to work too, omg like after so long..hou choi mou si..

Mid of the month start the 'chinese' season..I know it's bad, but it's actually beyond my imagination..gosh..it's diff..but if u ask me which I prefer, I can't answer..pro n cons hehe

First round of chinese season was crazy, but it's good that it sets a 'benchmark'..will compare the current voyage is not as bad as the first haha

My wrist is getting more hurtful =\

Starting to feel so fed up with work..don't know want say management Ke, supervisor Ke, or supervisor's supervisor problem..thanks to the chinese season I supposed..

Starting to force for sales la this la that la..even ugut us with our day off n so..schedule was so nonsense at times..doesn't make sense..

Sell in English ok la, in mandarin, kill me!

Am I a service staff or sales person..ish..the feeling is so diff when u assist and service ppl than to ask if they r interested in bla bla bla..no more joy at work..starting to dislike every turnaround day now..

And they remove one manpower from our place..thank God! Not me..supposed to be me apparently..but supervisor say I stay..donno how true, but don't care..as long im staying where I am now can d hehehe

May this fed up season pass soon..

Really thank God now only like this, if it was the start of my contract, can die..but 3 more months, we'll see..

And wow, the Sunday service, got musicians jorr! Those that left came back kua..naise..but me learning guitarrrrr..still not working lol..n still no girls..ape ni...

Busan off again! Last round going out with roomie..

Walk an hour just to find a restaurant that sells combination of rice n noodle but can't find wtc lol..

Ended up with this..

I have no idea what this is called, but it's not bad hehe

Previously at jeju..'uncle Jang' haha

Sometimes I want to rant so much, but I donno who can I rant to..it's gonna end up like gossip if I do..sigh..sometimes rant to roommate cos was working with her before n she know how our workplace is like..but can't rant too much to her also, although I want to..not sure if she wan to hear my rants or no lol..and also don't want affect her also la..

Anyhow, Roomie left jorrr...and new roomie is here..feels diff now..diff roomie diff habit diff routine..

No more kaki to rant and lepak..no more tv noise too haha..

And guess what, there's an opening for youth counselor! The one I wanted..but again, mandarin speaking..aih..and by reading the requirements, I'm soooo not fit for it lor hahah oh well..

Cruse Journey 5/9

Officially end of 5 months! Macam very fast..

A new start, got promoted! Early this month..Like finally, yay! Will I get another one before my contract ends? Hehe

Well I'm actually considering to continue 2nd contract, but 9 months, is just too long for me for now..sigh

People like Yen Wei n Kah Wai gonna get married next year summore, I think haha..congrats to them!

There were some passenger conflict..one due to booking seats when there's no more seats, another is passenger kept talking when music is playing..too noisy, got shhh-ed..ask me if I could put poison in their drinks or sth to make them go sleep ldm

New asst matre'D came up with some incentive scheme, basically u need to sell packages, then u get extra day off where u only work evening onward..

First cruise, by God's grace, I was top at my place..nv have I tot I could sell those packages, cos normally we leave it to bar..

Initially I felt bad for 'stealing' customer but to know there's no diff so it's ok..

But I feel damn kiasu cos I wanna be top, ofcos to enjoy the day off too..but prob is none of us know how this scheme works completely, and I got 4 off at first 4 ports, happy for me, but not sure how My colleagues feel..cos it was so busy n I'm off..

Prob of wanting to win and care bout what ppl think bout u..

But to think of it, damn, I deserve the rest man..

N the points r so messed up..cannot tahan..

N so called extra off, I didn't even get my regular one..

Went off to busan, a rushed one, catch some street food and bbq too..yummy..
