*** I started blogging this entry on the 19th Nov and only managed to complete it on the 21st Nov because i have been so busy playing Mahjong... haha...***
Back to my Phuket trip........
To summarize - Phuket is so much fun, so relaxing, yummy Tom Yum Soup, so many Ang Mo and so many freaking mosquitoes !!!
Reached Singapore on Monday afternoon from my supposed to be 3 days 2 nights Phuket trip. In the end, we only stayed there for like 2 days 2 nights only due to my stupidity! I should not have brought the morning flight on Monday. Grrrr... it totally slipped my mind that i will waste one whole day! We had to leave the resort at 6.30am (Thailand time)!!!!! Crazy right?? Didn't even got to eat the free buffet breakfast loh!
Nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves and will go back there in future! However a tragedy happened when we were playing the Jet-ski. =( (i shall touch on that later)
Our flight to Phuket was delayed and the poor driver who was supposed to pick us up from the airport had to wait for 45 minutes. Poor him!! After an hour ride, we reached The Blue Marine Resort & Spa at Patong Beach. When we reach the 5 stars resorts we were a little disappointed because there is an on-going construction and it causes a lot of dust which spoil the beautiful scenery there! =(
On the plane to Phuket
I booked a pool access room and was full of high expectations, but when i saw my room i was again disappointed because it is not as nice as what the website showed. Actually if 'mai hiam' it is already very big and nice enough already. The consolation is that when we opened the balcony door we were welcomed by a very beautiful view of the swimming pool and the clear blue sea of Patong.
We then went for lunch at a pool side restaurant at the resort, the Shirley temple was spelled as Chirley Temple and it taste exactly like Cherryade!! =.=" After lunch, we walked around exploring outside the resort. When we returned i immediately went for my massage!! SHIOKness loh!!
It was already 8pm after my massage, we then went to the night market of Patong Beach to have our dinner and was delighted to see so many shops and stalls. It lifted my mood to the max when i know i am still able to shop in Phuket after many people told me that there are no shopping centers there. Hehe....
We had Seafood for dinner and a must have Tom-Yum Soup!! The street of Patong Beach was filled with Ang Mo, and it made me feel like i am somewhere in Australia or Europe instead of Thailand. We walked and walked till it was 11pm (Thailand time) which is already 12 mid-night in Singapore and when my eye-lid began to feel heavy and legs start to ache we finally decide to head back to the resort.
Our BBQ fish is not served yet and by the time i remember to take a photo of it, it was already half finished! Hehe...
We woke early on the next day and went for our 'freeee' breakfast and then off we go to the Patong Beach!!! Upon reaching the beach, i was so attracted to the clear blue water and was snapping photos everywhere until one guy walked up to us and said: "Hello!! you want to sit chair or play Jet ski? I give you good price!!" when we claimed that we want to walk around first, he ignored us and continue talking.
We cannot tahan his persistent sales talk and give in and got 2 seats, when we finally sat down he asked again: " You want to play Jet-Ski? I give you longer time" He then strike off the 20 minutes and wrote 25 minutes, and strike off 30 minutes then wrote 35 minutes.... Errmmm longer time means 5 extra minutes??? That is very long loh! hahaa... We then decided to try the Jet-ski since we had already planned to play that and para-sailing while we were in Phuket.
Simply B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L
My Sony T-20 Camera drowned and was pronounced dead on 16th Nov 2008 11.00am (Thailand Time)!!!! --- RIP ---
They gave me a plastic bag with a hole to keep my belongings which is placed in the compartment under the seat of the Jet-ski. We had so much fun while riding the Jet but half way through i said to my pig: " Even if the camera wont kanna the water i bet it will spoil too with all the knockings"
Finally..... when we took out the plastic bag from the compartment, my jaws dropped when i saw lots of water in it. I quickly took out the camera and tried to switch it on, but it was already dead!!!!! My wristlet is also soaking wet and i am thankful that my Hand phone is lucky enough to escape from this ordeal! However all my notes are soaking wet too! !@#$@%$#
I was so F****** pissed but i could not ask them to pay for my camera since i took the ride on my own willingness and happily put my belongings into that damn plastic bag without checking it in the first place. Haiz... I got no mood for other activities already and went over to my seat and lie there for the next hour or so.
I decided to go buy a new camera as it will be a waste if i could not snap anymore photographs, we then head to the nearest shopping mall and hunt for one!
Good Bye My Old Love:
Welcome the new darling to my Pink Collection:
We bought tickets which cost $1900 baht to visit Phuket FantaSea where we eat our sumptuous buffet dinner and watched a performance by the Thai people and animals (elephants, tigers, cow, chickens, goat, dogs and even birds). There are so many activities for us over at FantaSea, we had lots of fun playing games and winning prizes at the amusement park. Initially we wanted to ride on the elephants but when i walked close i saw it tearing, at that instance i felt so sad and pity the poor animal. We decided not to ride it but instead bought food to feed the them. They seem really hungry and we regretted not buying more for them.
We even took photos of ourselves in Thai traditional costumes, i really salute them for being able to wear the 'head gear' for such a long time because i got a server headache after wearing it for only 10 minutes. It is so damn tight loh, it felt like something hard piercing into my brain! We then went for our buffet dinner, we were overwhelmed when we entered the supposed to be restaurant. It look so much like a PALACE, so much bling bling all over and i think i can throw a 1000 tables wedding banquet in that place loh. So freaking big and grand, but the food was so-so only! So it was quite a pity!!
The Palace look alike restaurant
Blur shot ... Look at how grand that restaurant is!!
No camera were allowed to be brought into the theater so i could not share what we saw from that show! It was entertaining indeed but i do felt sorry for those animals, they should be enjoying freedom in the wild instead of having to undergo trainings just to put up these shows to entertain us! haizz...
It was already 11pm(Thailand time) when we left that place, we quickly return to our resort and packed up all our stuff getting ready to depart early next morning!
We reached Phuket Airport almost 2 hours before our departure time to check in, feeling tired, cold and hungry. We began walking around to find something to curb our hunger but there is basically nothing much for us to eat because either they sre still not open for business or i don't feel like eating it. We eventually settled for few slices of pizza and a cup of hot chocolate and head back to the waiting area to WAIT. Unlike the terminals in Singapore, there are so many shops and eateries. My 2 hours past like a breeze unlike in Phuket we had to sleep at the benches which is so un-glam and i keep counting down to boarding the plane. Few hours later, we are finally home and we start to miss the laid back feeling that we had in Phuket.
He fell asleep at the airport because we were simply too bored!! *yawns*
