10 AFT members boarded the Leisure World Cruise on Monday. We went there for our 1st ever retreat. For those who couldn't make it, next time guys. And it'll be fun ; )
Anyways, on board the cruise, we did alot of nonsensic stuff from attempting to do an online AFT show to watching the cruise's crew performing the emergency drill (although I doubt the crew actually wanted an audience. But they didn't chase us off so we watched) to stuffing our faces with food to gambling ( hehe yeah...for half an hour only) to sleeping at the Tropica Cafe.
Also, we attempted to make some beats on the stand on the deck of the cruise ship...yeah here's our sorry attempt at it : )
haha I'll post up the actual video some day soon ; )
It was a helluva lot of fun and thank you guys for the fun time. We actually sang Karoke with Naathan and Jason taking the lead...
Remember Backstreet Boy's "Everybody"? Wel now we have Naathan and Jason's rendition in our head...
Jason: Are you sexual? (in a growling, metal rock kind of voice)
Naathan: Yeah Yeah. (in a squeaky voice that sounds as if he's so drunk)
lol. That ended at around 1am when the lights of the cafe went off. Then, we just sat around and played "I never...". For those who don't know how to play it, this is how it goes. The first person states a sentence like..."I never kissed a girl before". Then, everyone in the circle who has kissed a girl before has to drink from their cup. So we played that for an hour until our drinks ran out. Then Thana had to suggest slaps. Yeah we started slapping ourselves. Lots of secrets came out ; )
And at 3am, I slept on the very couch I was sitting on. At 6am when I opened my eyes, everyone else was asleep on couches as well. LOL it was like a refugee camp : ) Bettina, Naathan, Prabs, Jason and Thana. The others were smart enough to sleep in the cabins provided.
Now comes the hectic part. The cruise was on international waters. So, you have to change ferries twice before landing back in Singapore at Tanah Merah port. The moment we landed at 2pm, we dashed off back home. My family had a flight at 7.05pm to catch to Bali. It was mass packing and basically running at my house.
So we got to the airport and then passport troubles happened. My sis and my passport are expiring in June 2010. And as everybody knows, a passport has to more than 6 months before expiry to be valid for traveling. Hence a small problem at the airport. We finally got through but that was after sigining a form that said we'll deal with any problems arising at Bali's airport.
Once we landed there, my dad had to deal with the customs. And guess what? We had to pay the customs officer...basically it was bribery. Woohoo!
We then booked into a hotel near the seaside. It was called Kartika Hotel. Did you know that in Bali they have this one day in March set aside and it's called "Silent Day". Basically everyone in Bali stays in their home even the people in the city. They're not allowed to come out if not the security officers will catch them. All lights have to be off and if you're a tourist, you have to stay within the hotel. It's an interesting tradition and I realise I've just gone completely out of point.
Anyways, we reached our hotel at about 10.30pm so we basically fell asleep straight away. The next day we had several programs lined up so we had to rest.
And I don't think I can type anymore so in my next few posts, I'll include highlights of our trip : )
PS: Christmas is around the corner!!!! Presents, presents, christmas tree, Presents!!!!!
