Before I reach 30

I was blog hoppin' when I read Raiza's post on 20 something bloggers, Whats your main goal before you turn 30? Then it made me stop and think. Yeah do I have any goal before I reach that prime age? Yes I have loads of them though I'm always a believer of not planning things cuz it may not push thru or I end up jinxing it (is there such a term?LOL well you know what I mean.) But coming up with a list of things I want to achieve before I reach that age wouldn't hurt at all. So here it is...
  1. Buy my own house and lot. ( I want to have my on space)
  2. Have a stable job on land. (yeah the kind of job with good benefits when you retire)
  3. Print my travel photos and frame it. (ow I have tons!)
  4. Buy an expensive bag and a pair of shoes. ( an LV or Chanel perhaps?)
  5. Treat my parents to an expensive resort. ( I think they deserve a great vacay!)
  6. Pierce my belly. ( bragging aside they say I have a nice abs.. wink... wink If you have it flaunt it!)
  7. Have a tattoo. (I heard they do have anesthesia nowadays so it wouldn't hurt I bet)
  8. Visit Santorini or Paris with someone special. ( Ow I better start saving now or HE must be rich LOL!)
  9. Try Ziplining ( conquer my fear of heights but wouldn't go any further like bunjee jumping)
  10. Get married and have kids. ( with whom? Only God knows! Hopefully with the man I'm with in Paris or Santorini)
Whew... well I have 5 years to make all this happen! Now I'm pressured! hehehe

Do you have the X?

Who would have thought that the most popular talent show on land would find its way to sea. Well, it wasn't a Simon Cowell type of show though. So last July 30, 2010 our on-board crew activity committee improvised our own X-Factor, where 6 entries showed off their different talent to bag the life changing first price of a 100 pounds! Not bad huh? Well the show was just for laughs actually and it really is! The first part, where they showed a vid of the participants introducing themselves and doing their X-factor moves, was such a hit! Couldn't help but laugh my heart out! The audience did their part as well, we had our banners and posters to cheer for our own bet. The ambiance was like a real X-Factor show. And yes, Simon Cowell, Dani Minogue, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh was onboard in a form of a mask worn by our very own managers! lol The 40-minute show really did its job! Everybody enjoyed the show and of course the food. For 40 minutes we forget all our worries bout work. A total diversion of the hectic and pressured weeks we had!

The 4 weeks preparation was worth it! Great job guys!


Now who said life on-board is boring? I would say I totally enjoyed my 4 months on-board Pride of Rotterdam. The people I worked with have been so nice to me. That's it! You would only love your work if you enjoy and love the company of people around you. Which I'm proud to say I did! Its a mix of different nationalities and our inter action with one another couldn't be any better!

Love the fact that I watched the show or I end up lying on my bed!
