SuperStar Virgo in 13 days…

2 12 2007

I’m going to a cruise onboard the magnificent SuperStar Virgo in 13 days departing Singapore. The ship will be placed in Hong Kong for service beginning March 28. Might return to Singapore. Meanwhile, SuperStar Aquarius will be placed in Singapore. It’ll be the third time I’m cruising on Virgo and the 5th time I’m cruising with Star Cruises.

Virgo is a majestic 76800 tonne, 268 metre long floating, moving resort. There’s a video here, which promotes the ship, showing onboard facilities. I’m freaking lazy to process photos taken with my Lumix, cause I didn’t have a dSLR at that time. I’m rather tired. I got tuition tomorrow… Btw, expect good pics from this trip, I’m going to bring my photography gear, and I got the permission to bring along my tripod to do good night pics. BULB MODE FTW!

On the contrary, Aeon Bukit Tinggi is now opened. If I sound modest, that’s because I am. It wasn’t as big as I would have ever expected. I’d take 1 Utama anyday, anytime, anywhere to it… This new shopping mall has only one camera shop… Read that: ONE. Well, at least they even have the Canon EOS 5D there. It poisoned me well… Stuff are fairly expensive to what I can get tho. 1 Utama boasts about 2132901 more camera stores than it. Serious. Lets see… 2 Shong Lees, Photo Shangri-La, Best Denki, and the list goes on and on. Okay, pics. I quite like the design of Aeon Bukit Tinggi tho :)

5-storey atrium. 1 Utama boasts more in their Oval section.

Layer cake? Yeah, I agree.

Man, you can’t blame me for being any biased. Klang just isn’t the ground for a shopping district. Bukit Bintang is. Now, I don’t see any Juscos there. Land must be way to costly. You get Pavilion KL, Starhill Gallery, BB Plaza, Lowyat, Lot 10 and Sungai Wang. Walk further down to Imbi and you get Times Square KL. Speaking of which, BB Plaza, Lowyat and Sungai Wang have great camera shops in them. Pavilion KL has a Canon store with an astounding Canon EF 600mm f/5.6 Telephoto lens. The going price? RM 47000+ Oh yeah, I got a Hoya Circular Polarizer for my kit lens (58mm). Really useful filter. Again, from J-One.

Okay, that’s all. I’ll come up with an update soon. The blogging bug has come back after an absence of updates. Take care.

Haha yeah Jusco Bukit Tinggi has way too many parking lots… 5000 bays is seriously exaggerated. It’s not like everyday is going to be the opening day for them… heheh. Bukit Raja Jusco still seems very crowded considering the one in Bukit Tinggi opened.

Ctsarah, I never intended to be a pro when I got my dSLR. I might. But then again I’ll have to live in poverty if I do. Imagine spending on tens of thousands on photography gears… Thanks anyway. ppreciate it very much :D

Next they’ll end up expanding the building into 5 storeys and expand it to the outer bays :P
Jusco Bukit Raja is still jam packed during weekends, but I heard from-I-don’t-know where that it could be closing down because the building is under Acmar and not Aeon, so they’re practically renting it.
