Welcome Aboard From Kota Kinabalu city to Palawan.A Journey with SuperStar Aquarius by AlfredAllenKK (Blog Part 01)

At 1st i hesitate to travel in 2015 after certain unfortunate event happening around in aviation industries. Traveling totally not in my diary listing to start my 2015 plan. Most of the time my family will travel whenever they have a chance locally or even internationally. i give plenty of excuses that i don't want to travel and wishing them enjoy their trip. My last travel was back in 2010 visiting my youngest sister who practical study at Taiwan, She graduate and my family have to travel over to companion her to come back. The trip was good as my mom sponsors me the whole expenses...Thanks MOM!

This time around they plan in advance to go holiday not far from Sabah to Palawan Philippines and via Star Cruise. i rejecting their idea to travel on ship as i hate being seasick with all the big wave and thinking of titanic! They secretly bought my ticket and end up force me to renew my passport that's when i have no choice but to obey...And again my trip fully sponsors...Thanks MOM!

My mom together with my youngest sister and (Future brother-in Law) and a group of GCC Church member have book the whole holiday route with MATTHEWPAUL Tours & Travel Sdn Bhd and getting the offer package for SuperStar Aquarius and with Puerto Princesa Tour Package B....Wait a minute! i thought i only packing my things and go up to the ship that's it....why suddenly Puerto Princesa come out? >< So i done some research about the place and it was at Philippines. Okay fine! this time i cant argue more as they have fully purchase the package and there is no turning back...all i do is waiting for the traveling day...

Traveling date 04th Jan 2015 Depart and 07th Jan 2015 Travel back.

I packing all my necessary stuff and bring my whole desk of things my lappy...paperwork...file....etc after all its just another boring trip why not i bring my work on board and do it while traveling and then enjoyyy the day inside the cruise. i expecting there was FREE wifi so i can lay down comfortably in my room and start writing and designing for my coming event. (Aboard and find out the wifi was down! Perfect! now i have to facing the sea the whole journey!) 

Traveling and going up to the ship.... After go through all the check-point and check-in finally we on board!
