Phuket 7-11 May 2009

Did you know May just flew by??

I didn't even realised it was June till I see my organizer.

Think I'm still living a dream.

Everyday, I wake up not knowing what day is it until someone ask before I think hard.

Life like this is goooooooooooooooood but it cannot go on. I need a job soon!

But before that, I need to show you what a beauty Phuket is!

I'll just post the pics since I'm too lazy to make collages cus the com is still giving me prob (I'll be sending it to the hospital soon! I think it got infected with Swine as well.)

As promised...

Before departing and we alrdy look very chui. Cannot help it since I only had a mere 2 hours slp cus of grad nite the night before. But they have no excuse to be tired since none of them went with me! HAHAHA!!!

Power napping...

Finally, our journey begins!

Pacific Club Phuket ***Highly recommended

The Lobby

Dining area

View from our balcony (We oversee resort but no one can oversee us. Also, we're tsunami safe..haha!)

Living room

Kitchenette

Part of our balcony

The pretty bedroom which we couldnt help photowhoring

The swans are actually towels

We walked out of hotel and look for drink to kill the heat. Saw sun block and tot of Jon. So we left him a memory...hahaha!

We rented a super powerful pickup and went downtown.

The very nice sweet potato balls which we fell in love since the last time we ate in chatuchak.

The tangerines which I so love but they disappointed me big time. It was sour!

I like the vibrant colours of the veges

They marinate their cuts well!

Girls being girls, We shopped more than this in this market alone. Some are alrdy digesting in our tummies.

Driving through this narrow street to get out of carpark was intimidating. Luckily we have our trusted-and-well-experienced-lian-bang-ren Ee Siang to manouvre.

Next stop was Laem Promthep, the cape of Phuket.

The not very fantastic sunset. I only missed the wind cus SG is so freaking hot these days. We sat by the 'cliff' for more than an hour while waiting for our trusty photographers to travel downcliff. They had an adventure while the girls had a loooooooong talk and eat wind.

The next morning saw us at the jungle bungee jump. Apart from Idy and I, the rest picked up their courage and jumped.

We have superman...

...a courageous Lixia...

...and a fearless Ee Siang!

The achievers!

We went in search for the pretty pretty beach which is written to be secluded and most beautiful in Phuket but we ended up in Siam Beach!

The steep stairway entrance leading to a shop which requires us to pay 100baht each to get to the beach. We being reluctant cus we scared pay alrdy see an ugly beach, climb up the stairs back to our vehicle.

Next, we landed in this fishing port kind of place and started exploring.

The huge squid. The only thing we didnt do is to have a seafood lunch there because either we were too late or time just cannot be squeezed out for it.

Do you dare to eat these?

We continued our search for Au Sang beach but ended up going on several off roads. Thrilling!

That evening, we dr0ve t0 Kamaran beach for Phuket Fantasea!!!

It was awesome (I mean the settings)! The minute you step in, everything feel so magical.

Look at the ticketing booth!

Dinner was here in this large hall. Food was rather good.

This 'ang mo' decided to have his face in here for our memory.

We went to the Tiger Jungle Adventure and thought we'd see tigers, tigers and tigers.

We saw this white, peacock looking bird.

Albino crows

Pelicans in a room of fake backdrops

Finally, my ferocious looking tiger! He keeps pacing left and right. There's another one playing in the pool of water.

This is the entrance to the cultural and animal show. Photography not allowed so no pictures. Idy, Lixia and Ee Siang slept during the show...hahaha! I cant see why its Vegas style production.

Next morning, we went to Karon beach.

An hour of baking in the sun caused burnt skin.

We went back to the hotel and decided to have lunch there as well as dip to cool ourselves down.

I just have to post this..hahaha!

We went horseriding too! 2 good hours of it really worked our thighs!

Its a 1 hr land and 1 hr beach ride. My horsey named Prontip is a greedy horse. He eats where ever there's grass, regardless of his rider's (which is me) prompt to move on. I'm always the last you see?

Even when he canters, I still cannot keep up with Idy and Lixia. Maybe I'm too heavy for him. But he was kind not to gallop when told, else I'll be the first to fly off a horse. Afterall, it was a good workout and it got us all red like lobster at the end of the day.

I like the picture below :) Apparently, this beach got hit by tsunami few yrs back and it nvr recovered. We passed by several super nice resort which provides villa style rooms.

At nightfall, we went for our seafood dinner and it was cheap and good!

The full moon caught our attention.

Dinner by Rawai Beach.

Then a lady came by and sold us 'kongming lanterns'. We wanted to put it at a beach. I tried mine and the wind was so strong we had a hard time lighting it up. After it lit up, the wind just won't budge, it blew and blew, my lantern just doesn't get enough hot air to rise into the sky. It gave us up and ended up as trash.

So we went back to our hotel and put. Everything was done within minutes!

I tried Go Kart for the first time in my life and its shiokness!

I'm actually lusting for more of such thrills now! We have a video of our 'race' but think its too large to upload.

Next stop was the Biggest Buddha in the world. It isn't completed yet but more or less the structure is up alrdy. It'll be ready in 2010 and it took 8 yrs to complete. The Buddha is sitting at the top of a hill and it can be seen prominently in certain parts of Phuket.

View from the top.
Us with our trusty vehicle. It made us so mobile.

This was actually taken on the way up to the Big Buddha. Nice view overlooking a beach.

Evening came, and we headed to Jung Ceylon for our only shopping after 4 days of sweat and fun!

We saw Carrefour and went crazy inside.

We headed across the street and ate like a pig at the roadside stalls.

My yum yum mango sticky rice!

Are u game for oysters here?

The BBQ stuff here taste damn good!

And I nvr miss out the tangy and sweet orange juice!

Unique and delicious foodie. Add pepper and light sauce and it taste heavenly.

This 'ang mo' actually opened a stall here and he serves well fried chicken. Damn good!

We thought was sausages but it was some rice ball. Taste sour and not nice at all.

Best cocoa drink thus far. He will ask if the taste is alright after we take the first sip. But we nvr try to say not nice and see what happens cus we slurp it down very soon.

Fried worms anyone?

This is a really pretty dog. It belongs to our resort. I forgot its name but it looks like

Marley in the show.

This very much sum up my trip to Phuket. We simply dip in the pool and talk to our hearts content on the last night. Played and drink and went crazy. Reluctantly pack up for our morning flight back home.

Taiwan trip photos will be up after we consolidate the photos.
