DAY FIVE. (:
[First day on the Cruise.]

Our cruise ship. Victoria Jenna. :D
There's nothing much inside though. Haha.
I'll give you a tour inside later. (:


So in the morning after breakfast we went offshore to this.. uhh, place. LOL. I have no idea what you call it. Slept late the previous night, so didn't pay much attention. =X
Basically it's a designed system to bring boats from low water to high water, (or was it the other way around? Omg, I'm so sorry people. So fail.) Anyway, I wasn't interested because it was man-made. Haha. But it's quite cool, after hearing other people's explanation when I was more awake in the afternoon. Eeheehee.








Long queue at the toilet~
(There's no such thing as short queues in China. LOL.)




Pretty mini waterfall there. ((:




Obscene picture leading to a stairway,
and the wonderfully nice scenery up there. :D



Hi Dad. LOL. You look funny. ((:


After that we got stuck outside because the ship beside ours drove away and we couldn't enter the cruise. So our ship has to turn around and come closer to the shore. LOL. Spent the time basking in the horrible sun (but not as horrible as Singapore's. Tsktsk.) Ben was being funny. Because there was this lady from my group, she asked Ben if he knew Cha-cha. Then they started dancing Cha-Cha, in the middle of the street. Hahaha! Apparently Ben got all the wrong moves. LOL.



Lady: Wrong wrong! Aiyo, you don't know how to dance la!
Ben: Aiya, disco also don't dance Cha-Cha one!


LMAO. I swear Ben's the best! (Y) :D



And there was this other guy from another group..

Me: Hey Ben, what's your son's name?
Ben: My son is called Javier. (:
Other guy: Huh, not Benson ar? He is Ben's son what.


Lololol. Make sense right?! Haha.

And Ben is such a nice husband/father! He is always thinking about his family. (:
Even his phone's wallpaper is his son's picture. So sweet. :3



After lunch we got bored cos there was nothing to do.
We were waiting for the ship to cross the five hurdles.
Let me elaborate. :D


See this door? There are five of them in total.
During a certain time, the door will open.
And the ship will move forward, till it meets the next door.



After which, the first door will close, and the water level will rise,
until the ship is at the height of the next door. (The height increases.)



The water was at like, 30m at the fourth door. Scaryyy.
So yupps, the cycle repeats itself until the ship enters the fifth door,
then you're free. Hahaha.


The process is EXTREMELY long. Like 4-5 hours. So meanwhile,
we have nothing to do at all. So what do people do when they're bored?
One simple word: MAHJONG! :D



Hahaha. I played Mahjong with my mother, my tour leader and her husband.
Omg, i tell you. They use Automatic Mahjong tables! It's super cool!
However, I got so engrossed in the game, I forgot to take pictures. )):




This thing will flip up and ready-stacked tiles will be served up. It's damn cool!




You press the button and the dice will shake by itself. Hahaha.
No need throw. Then when you're done with the game,
you press the button that says, "Ascend/Descend" and the whole thing will ascend,
you then throw all your tiles inside the whole and press the button again.
Then the whole thing descends and it shuffles the tiles for you!
And when doing that, they give you another ready-stacked stack of tiles,
so you don't have to wait for it to be shuffled. SO COOL RIGHT. Haha. :D



Our kept scores at the end of the game.
I WAS THE BIGGEST WINNER. -Grins-
Won 157 RMB. Hahaha.


After the game we slacked there a bit. Couldn't balance our account.
The money lost was not the same amount of money won. Haha.



Ben was playing with this fascinating lamp.
You can pull it and it will stay there.
So you can pull it, push it, and adjust it to the height you want.
Cool right. Hahaha. :D


After a while, went up to the observation deck to see a big big bridge.
And there's where I met my Photography Friend! :D






After the bridge passed it was really boring already.
So went around the cruise taking pictures.
This is where you get a tour of the inside. Eeheehee. (:

  


Then it was dinner and off to bed. (:
There was HBO on tv, so was rather entertained. :D




END OF DAY FIVEEEE. (:
