We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.
-Mitch Albom
us in the tuk tuk after the island hopping tour on our way to phuket town night market. we had our dinner there by juz randomly buying off the street stalls like pasar malam and thus had no free hands to take pix of the food. there was nth much to buy unless one fancies imitation goods. the food were cheap and nice.
cos some food look dubious we were nt really full and we took a cab bk to patong where we had the pancake once again. this time pj had nutella banana while bryan n i had banana maple surup which was super super duper nice. then we strolled to this mall where there's live band and kfc and we had the meal. their kfc uses realy utensils. super cool and i went to the carrefour before it closed to grab a few packet of chips to bring hm =)
end of trip on our way bk at phuket airport. it was a fun trip and it cost ard sgd$300 in total which includes our airfare, hotel and our expenses. as it wasnt a shopping trip pj kris n i didnt get anything. bryan gt himself a pair of shades. and i'm really happy tt i managed to finish reading the other boleyn girl during the trip =)
island hopping to 2 of 7 islands of phi phi island. maya bay and emerald bay. at emerald bay there were stilts where the locals harvest the bird nests for sale. our buffet lunch. it consisted of tomyum soup, plain rice, spaghetti, fried fish skin (super yummy tasted like fried salmon skin), chicken cubes stir fried veg and fish fillet. the food was nice for i was famished due to the lack there of breakfast.
after lunch we went to khai island which wrapped up our island tour. perhaps not visible but we were all super super badly burnt from this island hopping tour tt we could not toss and turn at night. the day trip started at 8am-5pm and costed B$1200. sonorkeling is incl but none of us were into that so we juz laze ard and tan =)
bright n early we rose to go for our island hopping tour the following day! us at the chalong beach, waiting to set off. the speedboat which i felt was a bit overcrowded but we sat a the last row so it was okies =) our view from the bk, the ride from chalong beach to phiphi island took ard 45mins i think.
after we finished eating, we went walking ard the night market at patong beach to hunt for the famous banana pancake! i realise we didnt take a pix of the streets but u can imagine it being super super crowded with angmoh and tranny and pretty thai babes in all the pubs while the pubs are all broadcasting the manutd match on the big screen.
we walked for wot seemed like forever until we finally see it!!!
the crepe like pancake which was so much nicer than the crepe we had in sg. bryan n i had nutella and banana pancake while pj n kris had chocolate n banana pancake.
me with pj n kris's pancake=) super yummy. B$50 for mine which is ard Sgd$2=)
seafood spread after patong beach. the cloth tt they nicely folded into a lotus. there was a whole street of those seafood restaurant and we were contemplating which ones to go when one of the stall's guy dash across the road to where we were to escot us to his restaurant. it was madness but we felt bad so we settled for it. we had quite a spread. we ordered small tom yam goong, stir fried asparagus in mushroom, fried chicken, medium seafood platter consisting of cockles, mussels, prawns n crab. we changed the cockles to calamari. and all tt jus for B$1400 =)
getting ready to go to patong beach. patong beach. and the beach chairs. there were massage svs and mani n pedi on the beach but i juz couldnt imagine how tt is possible when i'm so sandy. but it was all cool n fun. we were not burnt tho we had on tan amplifier the tuktuk tt has been our trusty transport for our stay in phuket the street leading up to our hotel. krisnpeijun after they bathe =)
so long exams! so after exams kristine, peijun, bryan and i headed off to sunny island-phuket for leg 1 of our respective grad trip! apparently i didnt tell alot of ppl i was out of town and alot of ppl tried to look for me. so sorry!
us reaching phuket airport on tigerairways and we dont really knoe whether to take metered cab or those fixed price cabs or if the hotel shuttle goes to our hotel so bryan n kristine were trying to locate where our hotel was on the free maps from the airport =)
our lovely hotel room. it was pretty messy at the hotel tho it was quite a big hotel but juz tt their computer system was not updated. the first key they gave us to a door which the key did not have access to and lo and behold, there were occupants in the room and they heard a comotion outside their door and they were shellshocked to see ppl outside trying to get in. so we quickly apologise and went bk to the lobby to get assigned another room and this time when we opened the door, there were occupants bouncing on the bed! we were too shocked and hastily went bk to the lobby to ask for another room. and finally our third attempt to get into the room was successful! the room was brillant and we were upgraded to a superior room. so it cost Euro$54 for 2 nights stay =)
the complimentary water given at the room. there were 2 but kristine was so thirsty tt she took the other one b4 i could take a pix of it.
the hotel's cute pillow. i forgot to take a pix of the bathroom but there was a tub as well as a standing shower and the tub has window tt u can draw to see ppl in the room. =)
