2013-12-25 Christmas 
【Aiden in English】
Merry Christmas to all! It was another sea day, crossing the Indian Ocean from Mahe, Seychelles, to Mombasa, Kenya. I had nothing to do. The regular activities on cruise ships mainly involved getting people to distribute Big-O-Points. The first thing was the indoor putting tournament. You put the ball into a hole on a raised threshold to score. Today, scoring a point was near impossible. Everyone got equal Big-O-Points because no one had ever had one. At least everyone was a winner, and everyone was tired of 1st place with a score of 0.
Next, I headed to the table tennis tournament with two brothers, Alex and Nick. It looked like Santa Claus didn't want me to win this game with the luck of the draw. I was paired up with the 4-time champ. Let's just say I tried my best. However, it wasn't enough.
We then raced to shuffleboard, which I am a master at. I was teamed up with a guy named David against Alex and Nick. From the start, the game was in our team's control. Nick got his team a negative 10 points, while David got his solid 22. I scored another 15, and David continued to smack the extra and unnecessary 10.
It was probably the best sea day yet because I was able to gather 12 Big-O-Points! I guess no matter where you go, the luck of Christmas is always with you on Christmas Day. Hallelujah!

圣诞节快乐！今天因为要继续东西穿越印度洋，从塞舌儿马埃“神赐”岛驶往肯尼亚蒙巴萨“战争岛”城，所以恰好赶上海上航行日。我游手好闲，打算加入游轮娱乐大军，跟随其他乘客一起找乐玩游戏。
第一项是室内高尔夫轻击球：如欲得分，你必须将球打入人工加高的洞口内。今天实在无挑战可言，没有一位参赛者能够击球到位，大家平分秋色，也就是说每人都是赢家，彼此始终站在同一起跑线上。
第二项是乒乓球循环赛：我和亚历克斯“人类的捍卫者”、尼克“人民的胜利”俩兄弟打完室内高尔夫轻击球后立即跑去参加乒乓球循环赛，看来圣诞老人并非希望我出人头地，从分组抽签上就能证明这一点，我与连续四次荣膺冠军的选手狭路相逢，虽有心应战，但力不从心。
第三项是沙狐球：这是我的拿手好戏，我与名叫大卫“挚爱”的队友联手对付亚历克斯和尼克。比赛一开始，我们就先声夺人，尼克将球推入倒扣10分区，而大卫则一举拿下22分；我巧借东风再接再励，新添15分；最后，大卫将比分拉大，又额外多得了10分。 这么过海上航行日真的不错，我一下子收获了12点游戏积分！以我所见，圣诞节这天无论你走到哪里都会深感福祉盈门，哈利路亚“赞美主”！
