16th - 20th Phuket trip

Well this suppose to be a 5 girls + 2 extra guys trip.. but end up Ting caught up with stomach flu so Jo and Zi decided to forgo this trip with her.. there goes my spa/massage/mani/pedi kaki.. Me and dear head on with the plan. While we board the plane, Nix got a shock of her life.. coz jetstar seatings is way beyond her expectation of "space limitation". Well.. budget airline mah.. haha.. she said its like seating bus.. but the truth is, SBS bus has more space. lol. After 1.30 hr flight, we land on Phuket, upon landing, the vibration is so loud that we hold each other's hand and look into each other's eyes. Ha.. she thought for a moment its gonna crash.. Met up with our trip 2 guys, Kelvin (happens to be my colleague in PriceBreaker) and his friend Wenjie. Phuket airport is... normal? well after seeing Changi airport, all other airport seems n.o.r.m.a.l to me. Took phuket maps and head out to get a cab.

Horrible incident 1: Once we left the customs, couples of men, start coming to us continuosly saying:" TAXI? TAXI? CHEAP CHEAP TAXI?" I read some info on the plane about pricing from airport to Patong area to be 400.. So I just try to get better luck.. "To Patong how much?".. the guy said "800 Baht, cheap cheap, 800".. Without even replying anything to him, I pull baby and left the crowd, and Kelvin say go to the meter fare taxi, coz they don't cheat. Okay... we went.. and they said 500 Baht. Then I say I know its 400 Baht.. and I heard the most ridiculous thing "that is for 3 person, 4 person we charge extra so 500 Baht" Well,4 of us tired to bargain further, we got up the cab just wanting to get to Hotel ASAP to rest.

Horrible incident 2: Once we board the taxi, the smell is so horrible.. want to vomit type.. we ask if we can roll down the window, the taxi driver say "no no, raining wet wet" So the 4 of us held our lungs, but gave up and start taking in the toxic air. Oh, he drives like he's drunk too, left right left right when the road is so straihgt =__="

Okay thats sort of like the end of our horrible incident =D The hotel is UPZ UPZ, nice lobby nice room (at least for me and baby coz Kelvin's room got attacked by mozzie). We head back to our rooms and unpacked our stuff, met up 1/2hr later to explore our surroundings. Walking down the street, can see Patong street lighted up with any neon sign boards, lots of seafood stall (all dead seafood) along the road, lots of massage parlour and 4 to 5 or max 8 girls standing at the door saying " massage sir / An mo su fu~" and endless people asking u "tut tut?/taxi?" they have a lot of family mart there, and hundreds of stall selling tours. We stopped when we saw a signboard high up saying "SUBWAY". WOW. haha.. but well we didn't had that, we had road side stall! its delicious, just not very clean. wanton mee, at 40 Baht per bowl, SEDAP~ bought necessities like water/food/toiletries and we head back to Hotel to rest.

17th Dec, I got woke up by the phone, Kelvin called askin if we wanna have Breakfast together, well its definitely a no coz Baby is not a breakfast person. they head off to the Beach when we head down to a shopping Mall name JungCeylon. Watched movie (Avatar)and shopped at Carrefour. Avatar is damn nice! and we had a good and wierd experience watching movie in Thailand. EVERYONE has to stand up straight and pay respect to the King (for about 3 minutes?) before the movie starts. Back to hotel to meet up the guys at around 7 pm and we head down to Savourey to have our Dinner. I chose this place coz this is the only place I found with live/fresh seafood. Me and baby had lobster/kangkong (they name is morning glory)/promfret, Kelvin and WJ had Tiger prawn/some fish/pineapple fried rice/claypot rice, and we shared a medium TOM YAM GUNG~ it was yumyum, jus that they sort of overcook the lobster and prawn =/ (baby whispered to me saying:"next time we come back again!"and I winked at her and said ok =D) After dinner we went to find some island hopping tour, got a 3 in 1 tour for 900 Baht, well it was actually more but me and WJ keep bargaining. lol. I think its quite worth it.

18th Dec, We went to Khai / Maya and Phi Phi island, the snorkeling at Maya was superb, and it was my dear Baby's virgin experience to snorkel, so she kinda got out of er mind and goes non stop kicking water and advancing ahead. Well I'm worried coz she can't swim (though she got her life jacket on). At times I look down to see the pretty fishes, when I look up she's 1 feet away from me. I know I'm paranoid lol. Baby is very very happy. And she keep asking me to buy bread to feed the fish. Oh both of us both bitten by the greedy fish, but no worries, not pain at all, just got a lil shock heh. After the island hopping, me and baby decided to NUA in the hotel and enjoy the food that we bought from the mart - CUP NOODLES~ ya its baby's fav. (but we kinda got freak out in the end - she said it herself) we even bought crabstick and fish tofu as side dish hehe.

19th Dec, Woke up at 12 noon, we head out to Savourey straight for our lunch! Ordered Lobster (this time super yummy!!!), crab, Kangkong and Tom Yum Gung.. YA I know a lot.. We can't finish too.. Baby had difficulty walking after that lol.. We heard to Jungceylon after the meal to catch another movie "the forth kind". Bought sourveniers and also a tour before we head home tomorrow. (I hate it.. time also fly by so fast when I'm with u =../)

20th Dec, woke up at 6am, packed all stuff and we had a super early check out, and damn I had my menses today, but 'm quite thankful for that already =). Went to the Zoo, had monkey / crocodile / elephant show. the elephant show impress us the most. there's 1 part where by they were ask to dance, and when the worker start the music all 4 elephants goes shaking and shaking their head non stop! and they kick soccer into goalpost/ played basketball, and ride super big bicycle! wow wow wow. we bought food to feed the elephant, they grab the food with their nose, and when we grab hold to the food the elephant actually breath out air to us! and OMG its with some unknown water! urgh.. but well we had FUN! after the Zoo we also had some canoeing, jungle walk to the waterfall (I forgot where! OMG!), and had lunch and some local house. Got send back to the hotel and met up with the guys. After washed up we cab to Festive Central for dinner before we head to airport.

21st Dec, =( I hate it when I'm writing the end part, coz I know my trip has ended. Looking forward for my Bangkok trip in March and Bali trip in April =D.
