DIAMOND PRINCESS 2: Day 3--Langkawi, Malaysia

The Diamond Princess is in Langkawi, Malaysia.

On to lunch.

Again, noodles with assorted veggies and meats. With Kirin Lager Beer.

I'm in a good rut, for after lunch I got sleepy and took a nap, After awakening, did some exercising. Then a pre-dinner Johnny Walker Gold Label to watch the sunset in the Crooners Bar,being entertained by pianist David Juneau.

Got a better table to see the sun setting.

Wasn't really hungry at all, but had a reservation at the International Dining Room, and ordered two soup and salad combos. The first one was green salad with trio of cheese and pecans, plus Tom Kah Gai, which is a Thai coconut-chicken soup. Both excellent,

The second set was a Caesar Salad plus Won Ton Soup, Also very good.

Then to the Explorers Lounge for karaoke.

A couple nights ago I showed a video of me singing a song the first time. That one by John Denver. Did not go well, Never attempt to do that in a public karaoke setting. Well, I did this again, a Glen Campbell song, Rhinestone Cowboy. Another disaster. Maybe I'll keep trying to get better by the end of this cruise. There seems to be karaoke at least two out of every three nights.

The evening ended in the Crooners Bar with a Milky Way.

Good walk today, 5718 steps.

Did not say much about the city of Langkawi, but you can go to an earlier blog of mine for deails. One of the attractions is sunset at Cenang Beach, this from Trip Advisor,

ON THE MATTER OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

Hawaii today celebrates King Kamehameha the First Day as a public holiday. Next Monday, June 19, or Juneteenth, is a Federal holiday. However, 22 states, including Hawaii, do not recognize this as a public holiday. Four of these will begin to honor this day next year, not Hawaii. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery. Here are the Hawaii holidays, and note three that only we have: New Year’s Day: 1st day in January Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: 3rd Monday in January Presidents’ Day: 3rd Monday in February Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day: 26th day in March Good Friday: Friday before Easter Easter: Calculating Easter Memorial Day: Last Monday in May King Kamehameha I Day: 11th day in June Independence Day: 4th day in July Statehood Day: 3rd Friday in August Labor Day: 1st Monday in September Veterans’ Day: 11th day in November Thanksgiving Day: 4th Thursday in November Christmas: 25th day in December There are 11 paid Fede...

HOW TO WATCH NETFLIX SHOWS

But first, maybe President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza Peace Plan is showing some progress . No one expects the Hamas to accept all of them, but they did agree to release all captives and the act of handing over administration to Palestinian technocrats. So far, in the Gaza Strip, 66,288 have been killed and 169,165 wounded. On 7October2023, almost two years ago, 1139 were killed in the initial Hamas-led attack. About my topic of the day, I've long been lamenting the overflow of watchable films and series available on Netflix and Prime. Why expand into the plethora of other streaming options when I can't keep up with what I have, which costs me around $30/month. And, of course, why venture out to a movie theater to end up watching a film that will cost me around that amount of money, when you add the popcorn, drink, gasoline cost, time it takes to get there and back, and the risk of a car accident or worse. Oh, also getting infected with ...
