Hooi Fong,Mu Xin and Lee Chong reached at 9 something and the latest is Chuky because he went to the bank before coming to Hooi Ling's house. After that we went in two cars...Boon Ciat,Keong and I sat Lee Chong's car while Chuck Chuan and Mu Xin sat Hooi Fong's car. We reached jetty at around 10.15am. We bought the tickets and waited awhile for the smaller ferry to come take us out to the big ship. We had to go through a security check where they scan our body with a device...and also checked our bags and pockets.
Moving into the smaller ferry..Most of the people going are uncles and aunties! I think we are the only group of young people there!
After reaching the ship, we have to surrender our identification card! Then we went to explore around the ship..it's not really big..cause keep walking back to the same place only! At that time, the gambling machines and the casinos were not on yet as we are still in Malaysian waters..we had to get into the international waters before the gambling can start. Howvever there are already people occupying the machines as if booking it...maybe it's their favourite or lucky machine..haha At 11am, the restaurant is open for lunch! When my friends and I entered it was already crowded with people so we had to sit separately as there were not enough places! I sat with Keong,Boon Ciat,and Chuck Chuan while Mu Xin,Hooi Fong,Hooi Ling and Lee chong sat together. It was a buffet but not much choices of food for me! In the end I jus ate rice and vege and cakes! I ate more cakes than rice..haha no appetite and I actually felt a bit sea-sick cause at that time the ship just started moving so it moves kinda fast! The crowd cleared very fast when the casino opens!
Keong and I eating at the restaurant...
Chucky and Boon Ciat in the restaurant
Outside the restaurant~they make me sit on the small chair..so afraid will wreck it..hehe

After our lunch, we went to visit the casino. The security stopped me from going in because Im holding a file but luckily another friendlier security called Andy let us in after the first security walk away! haha..Hooi Fong went to try her luck on the gambling machine and she won Rm 18! It was quite dizzy being in the casino...got thick ciggarette smell and also the ship moving...not comfortable at all but the gamblers can go on gambling in there for the whole day!! After visiting the casino, we went to the upper deck to snap pics and we snap a lot a lot of pics!!

After taking pics, we went back into the casino to have some drinks...then we went to the upper floor where there were only gambling machines. Keong took out Rm5 for me to play. We played at the penguin machine and we won! haha...we played rm5 but got back rm11! Then I try my luck on a different machine but I loose..sob sob..then Keong use the money he won to play again and we won again! Chucky and Hooi Fong played too and they lose I think but Boon Ciat won.he won rm 25 if I'm not mistaken.
After dinner, we went to the upper deck hoping to catch a glimpse of sunset but too bad then sun was hidden behind the hills when it was setting..
Some group pictures before we leave...

At around 7.30pm, we sat the ferry back to the jetty. It was a nice gathering...hopefully we can have somemore gatherings in years to come!
