cruise trip day 3

A little late, considering I disembarked at approximately 2pm friday afternoon. :)

Yes, tadaima. I am home after my short cruise trip. :) We woke up really early this morning to catch the sunrise and I have several shots of it in various cameras. :)



This is just one of the many I shot.

The photo at the top of this post was shot on thursday morning, after breakfast. I was trying quite unsuccessfully to do my nihongo shukudai on the ship. :) In the end, after we reached home and rested, we headed out again to my favourite cafe to do my homework. I continued to do it at home after dinner. It is still not complete but I am making good progress. :)

K, need to sleep. Will try and post up some photos after I have developed the film and sorted out all the photos. Oyasumi. :)

cruise trip day two part 2

Hi hi. I'm back from the swim. It was very enjoyable. I've not gone swimming for months, the new work schedule makes it hard. :(

We awoke to a not dramatically beautiful day. No deep blue skies, no flying fish in the distance, nothing to make you go "wow". But still, I was happy. It is good to be alive and to be able to spend time with those whom you love. The recent troubles in the world has made me more acutely aware of this fact.

The sky this morning was a dull, pale blue and white but with the help of software filters I managed to make it more colourful, dramatic and interesting. The older I get, the more I'm aware of the fact that being "emo" and moody about everything changes nothing and just leaves me feeling like crap. Hence, I just want to live this life that I have been given the best that I can. And although I have not made my mark on the world, nor do I think I ever will or want to, I know that my life so far has been good and interesting and I am happy and grateful. :)

My Japanese friends in Japan are doing fine. They are getting on with life and doing the best they can. So it would be disrespectful of me to be all "emo" about it, I who live 5000 miles away. That is not to say I am not concern for them or those who lost so much. But the Japanese are really すごい. And I admire their spirit and and strength and I too would like to have a little bit of that in me. :)

K, I need to go rest a bit. That vigorous swim has tired me out a little. Ja matta ne. :)

cruise trip day 2

We've docked at the Port Klang Cruise Centre in Malaysia. After a late dinner and a magic show last night, the Super Star Virgo departed Singapore for Malaysia.

I've never been on a cruise before so I was quite interested to experience it. ...

I'll continue in a bit. We're going swimming. :)

cruise trip day 1

Am now on a cruise ship. This was a planned family trip with my parents, brother, sister in law and niece.

I have never been on a cruise before. So I hope it is interesting.

Am not sure if I have internet connectivity the further we head out. So will just post this short post and if I can't write more on the trip, will write more when I get back.

Take care everyone. :)
