10th of December last year was a moment, or rather, day I enjoyed with my family.

We embarked on the luxurious cruise, Super Star Virgo for our annual holiday. The cruise sailed off at about 9pm. We started our holiday by exploring the dinner options. There was anexcellent spread of cuisine to choose from. Be it Chinese, Malay, Japanese or Western cuisine, they were spread apetitisingly to entice your taste buds,

Each deck onboard the SuperStar Virgo aims to provide holiday makers with endless fun, entertainment and recreation activities. The cruise housed more than 25 outlets of different variety and authenticity of food and beverages, entertainment and recreation outlets to entertain you. One of the star attraction is the stand up comedian performance held at the 500 seaters’ Lido Threater. The spirit of the “kiasu” (the local term used to drescribe the mentality of been afraid to lose out) Singaporean was in full display. Despite our early arrive at the threater, to our horror, there were already countless number of people seated. Fortunately, we had priority seating at the better class tier balcony seats. The show featuring the comedian cum juggler named Terry Parade was a great hit among the audience. He was one of the main cast of the world renowed broadway act, Moulin Rouge, made famous in Paris, France.

The next day, we dragged ourselves out of bed at 6am to view the magnifant sunrise from our room/s balcony. To fully appreciate the magnificent view of the ocean, we went for an early morning job around the cruise. For lunch, we explored a new restaurant, Bella Vista, which specialized in Chinese cuisine. Using my recently purchased Canon digital camera, the DSLR, Canon 550D, I practiced my photography skills using the food as my untiring models. I hope the final results will do justice to capture the appealing decorated food.

After lunch, we were determined to expend our energies and wanted to forlick in the Parthenon pool. However, the pool was 2 meters deep throughout and I, being a weak swimmer, we have no other alternative than to proceed to entertain ourselves at the Jacuzzi pool. Immersing in the beautiful view of skyline melting into the ocean and the warm water lapping on me, it was utterly relaxing.

We end the day with a sumptuous dinner at the fine dining restaurant, the Pavilion Room, and soaked in the elegant embience enhanced by the perfectly cooked meal.

With great reluctance, we retired into our room for the night and mentally prepare ourselves for the end of the cruise the next morning.
This is one of the many special moments we spent together as a family and I hope that there will be more such moments for me to treasure to define my growing up years
