Quantum of the Seas Day 3

C said that she wanted to jog on day 3 morning. 

While jogging is not my thing, I was glad to have companion. In fact, I had the whole gang with me. The girls ran ahead followed by the boys, then me. Auntie S' poor knees don't agree with jogging and she took on the all important sweeper role. Soon, I caught up with the boys, who decided that they would rest on the beach chair instead after 2 rounds. 

The map says that one round of track = 553m. I don't think so. The girls stopped after what they say was 5 rounds. I should have ran 6 and only took 18+mins. I can't have ran 3+km in 18+mins. My Garmin best, it recorded 4.5km and exclaimed that it is the fastest ever recorded run that I have. Lol. 

Obviously GPS and Garmin don't work very well in the middle of the sea. 

I bet it was about 2.5km at most. With that little burnt, I made the kids do HIIT with me. Hoho. Only C tried to entertain me, Lil Shauna hates HIIT and didn't do much. Zaky was worse. He was just playing dead on the beach chair. Lol. 

We didn't complete the session, probably just 2/3 of the 30 mins session bcos the kids were whinning too much. What's next was bfast and bfast obviously was a better option. 

Remembered that we couldn't rebook one of the shows? We were told by the staff that we could approach the guest service to see if they could help. While we still didn't get slots for the show, the staff managed to help us book ONE precious bumper car slot for ONE person on day 3 morning. We didn't share this with the kids bcos it sounded like the perfect trigger for murder plot. 

Anyway, we wanted to do the boogie board after bfast only to realise that the q was bloody long under the freaking hot sun. The kids agreed to go for a dip instead and after some game, Zaky snagged the single slot for the bumper car. At the door, we found out that people can still go for bumper car even if they didn't manage to make a reservation; they just have to q. With that, we got the whole gang to do the bumper car again. The q was definitely longer than the 1st day but moved quickly.

Nobody take photo for me, I take myself. Hoho. 

The boogie board q was much manageable after that. The boys went several times until the q started lengthening and we decided that it was time for lunch. As a result, lunch was later than usual. 

In the afternoon, we took part on some guess the lyrics activities and we realised how bad we all are except for Lil Shauna. 

Of the 20 songs, we made 8 guesses and 7 were by her. We got 歌神! The rest of us just looked at the screen blankly. Only when the answers were revealed and the songs played, we went "ahhhh" and "orhhhh" and happily sang along. Lol. 

By Day 3, we were a lot more tired and spent more time resting in the cabin. Many of our plans were also not going according to plan, like the dancing classes. The kids were probably pleased with that. There were line dancing, morning fitness dance, k pop music dance and we did NONE of those. I was adamant about the last pop music dance at 4pm and make sure that nothing goes in my way to attend that session. Hoho. 

None of the kids were keen. Only Zaky hold true to his words and went to the pop music dance class with the 2 aunties. Haha. It was an easy dance to 2 songs but much enjoyable. In return for his companion, I brought him to boogie board right after that and it was the last opportunity given that the session closed at 5.30pm. 

There was a Q and a fairly long wait. Zaky was the last few in the Q and they opened up the entire surf pool. We waited for about 45 mins before his turn but he thinks that it was totally worth it. Fyi, while he was waiting in the sun for his turn, so did yours truly in the no shade, direct sunlight spectator area. I can literally feel sweat rolling off my back and wrapped myself in beach towels. 

Zaky was exhausted after boogie board and didn't even want to swim with T. We heard that Auntie S donned her biniki *cat whistles*. We retreated to the room and didn't have dinner with them too bcos we were still full from lunch. In the end, dinner was at the complimentary pizza and snack place. 

We took a long break after dinner. The next and last program was a performance at 10pm. But the long day of activities, sun and sea wasn't helping. Zaky fell asleep at 8+pm and asked me to wake him up for the performance. Lil Shauna outright declared at 9+pm that she wanted to skip the performance and go to bed. Lol. 

The kids on the other side weren't doing any much better. In the end, we decided that we should just skip the show and go to bed. Soon after, the kids were both in lala land and I headed down to the casino to look for Popo. She had spent more time in the casino than anywhere else on the cruise. Lol. 

I had thought that she would be spending the last hours in the casino but declared that the limited jackpot machines were no fun, which basically means that she wasn't winning. She too decided that she would turn in for the night. 好吧, let's all sleep. 

Good night to the last night on cruise.
