Funtastic Cruise Holiday - Day 1 (18 November 2021)

Finally the day we have been waiting for has arrived. Our first holiday "out of hustle bustle" Singapore after more than 18 months stuck in this little red dot.

We fight before the cruise as there's misunderstanding between us. Seeing him planning everything, I was so overwhelmed and afraid to hurt him if his plan didn't go well accordingly. We fight in the car, he raised voice at me for the first time, I was so shocked. I almost backed out but I chose to fight for it. For the first time I was breathless after fighting. I cried in front of the kids and when the kids asked, I told them that we fought. 

We left our home around 11.20 am and arrived at MBCC at 11.50am. 

During our waiting time, finally we reconciled.

Our check in appointment time was 1pm so we needed to wait around 20 minutes for our turn for ART test.



Around 12.30pm, we were allowed to go for ART test and waited for our results. The process for queueing and waiting was around 45 - 60 minutes since we had kids and Ted had a drama since he has phobia people pooking his nose. Other than that, it should be fast perhaps around 30 - 45minutes in total.

After all were clear, we went to check in counter and it took around 15 minutes since they need to check one by one and took individual picture for seapass. The last step was immigration and custom and it's pretty fast but since we had kids below 7yrs old, we needed to go to manual lanes and it took us another 15mins.

We boarded to the ship and got our key room around 2.15pm. Quickly we booked for all the shows and some "hot activities" like bumper car, gym.






At 3pm, we had safety drill as part of the requirements before going for the flow rider at 3.30pm.

It's another "Hot activity" and lucky we went there early and only queued for 15mins.



It was so much fun and the kids enjoyed it so much.

After that, we had a quick snack at Sorento Pizza before heading to our room for a quick shower and preparing for dinner.

Around 6.15pm, we arrived at Main Dining Hall as we have reserved for 6pm slot.

It's a fine dining setting and there is 3 set course menu as well as kids menu, the portion was bigger than expected with that kind of fine dining setting.




The food was delicious and nice. We loved the escargot, the beef steak and the dessert.

After dinner, we watched Violin show at 270 theatre at 8pm and magic show by John Taylor at Royal theatre at 10.15pm.



What a long and productive day and the fun just began.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
