after tt went home to do a final packing n then left house for the airport. took taxi. reached around 3.15pm.
wendy michael n shaun came to send me off.. hoho~ i was just checking in when they arrived. walked in circles around the airport with them before going into the departure gate.. haha..
quite irritated cuz there were a lot of old pple rushing into the same plane as us. quite a got a seat with quite a good view. took lots of photos of scenery outside the plane.
bought red wine - in cans! cool~
reached phuket ahead of schedule.. =) it was a smooth flight with Tiger Airways.. took the airport limo service for 300 baht. supposed to take the red and yellow meter taxi but since this price is good we took the limo taxi instead. the taxi took us thru the woods. for a moment we kinda freaked out. but i have peace, that the taxi is bringing us to the correct place. =)
met sis at the Laguna Allamanda. she noticed that i grew fatter.. =( check into the hotel... nice~! our room is in another block. like chalet kinda thing.
went for dinner at the restaurant at the lobby. had kuay tiao soup. went back to bathe then slp.

Mon
woke up for breakfast. ate a lot hoho~ scrambled eggs with ham, milk n cereal, donut, muffin, ham, sausage, etc etc..~! =)
went back to room. received a call from Holiday Club when we were just about to leave for a boat ride. took the shuttle service to another part of Laguna Phuket. took the boat ride. we registered for the 4pm slot cuz this 10am slot was fully booked. but since we were there n the pple who registered did not turn up, we took that one instead. very nice place sia!~!~ went to explore other resorts at the Laguna Phuket.
went back to room n had fruits for lunch, from my sis' bf's dad. haha.. watched National Geographic. interesting~~
went to slp until 2pm then went swimming. felt v relaxed.. haha.. today is meant to be free and easy. relax n recreational. went back to room to bathe and continue watch tv.. wahahaha..
took bus to Lotus Restaurant for dinner.. (the car top can open one!) wonderful sunset! ate a lot.. crab meat omelette.. real crab meat!! shiok~!! prawns with beef, green curry chicken, mango with sticky rice, banana split~!!! woohoo~! ordered extra rice too..

Tue
indigestion. prayed that i will digest properly n thank God i managed to feel better before breakfast!
ate about the same as yesterday's breakfast. went back n watch tv. (hehehe) slept for a while then sis n her bf Sup came to pick us up in a Toyota. checked out of the hotel. Sup drove us to Patong to find hotel to check in. went to a few to check out the price. sis n sup can speak thai so they helped us to get a good price. i like this Grand Tropicana but sis says inside like very deserted n scary.. =S finally checked into Deevana Resort. smells bad!!! =S inside the room was alright. lobby, restaurant, swimming pool were alright. except outside our room!! smells terrible!!!
sis went for job interview. so i went for lunch with my parents at a restaurant not far from our hotel. good service. good food too~ went back n watched tv cuz there was almost nothing else to do.
sis came back so we all went out. went to Karon beach, where Old Phuket Hotel is.. haha sis was hiding from the pple there. she n sup booked island tour for us. went up to Kata View Point to catch the sun set. rushed to Phromthep Cape to catch another view too. went to sis' place to check it out.
had seafood dinner at Laem Hin restaurant, quite a hidden place from the tourist area. had curry crab, catfish, fried prawns, etc. very full. i couldn't finish my food man... =S
haha i guess i was troublesome ba. i wanted to shop in the supermarket. so we had to make a trip specially. went to Tesco Lotus n bought potato chips (=D the film pple r going to love me for that! jk~) bought facial foam, toothpaste, shower foam, shampoo n conditioner too.
went back room to slp. me n sis share one room.

Wed
dark clouds loomed over Phuket in the morning. had breakfast n it was pouring. after breakfast the clouds began to clear n the sun came out. praise God for the weather! it meant a great deal, cuz we're going ....ISLAND TOUR~! means we're gonna take boat out n jump from island to island.
the minibus came to fetch us from our hotel. it was 1 hr ride to the jetty. wore lifevests n went to take long-tailed boat to a ferry. went to Phang Nga bay.. where it was worst hit by tsunami. if i'm not wrong. there's this bunch of guys who served us drinks n there's this guy who looks a lot like Yongqiang haha... his name is tommy n he reminds me of my thai kelong bf. haha.. very flirty. thai, but very thick american accent when he speaks english.
noticed this cute hk guy but too bad he's got a gf/wife. wahaha~ when we reached phang nga bay we took canoes out. (two passengers with a crew rowing each canoe) explored a bat's cave. heard them screeching. very crowded cuz there were another company with tourists too. went out of the bats cave n got hit by their shit. =S when we came out it doesn't look like shit.
saw a lot of eagles!! they were swooping down to the food some tourists threw into the water. next stop is Horng Island. similar limestone structures with caves. canoe in and out again. when we went back to the boat there were towelettes for us.
n next stop is James Bond Island. very famous. that's where one of James Bond movies was filmed. there was a sleet of stone formed naturally. wad's so special abt it is that it's very straight cut. Got pulled to look at bracelets. yes, there are shops set up there! i was like thinking, dun waste my time la, i wun buy opal bracelets that cost 300 baht lor. took a lot of photos there. went back to the boat for lunch. quite alright la.
fell asleep for a while then tommy came to make fun of me. he wanted to get my number but i decided not to give. i told him to ask my mom for permission to get my number. haha.. i was the youngest around.
Reached Lava Island. canoed with my dad. dipped into the water with my sis. went to shower with well water. had the privilege of having a guy "shower for me". haha.. he just poured a pail of well water over me that's all la.
went back to the boat for coconut.. shiok~! they asked us to sign autograph.. i praised them for their good service. they will pick up our rubbish n often ask us whether we want drinks. tommy played some games with us. interesting... at the last game i was picked to be teased. =x very interesting, he can suck up paper at the bottom of a bottle full of water. he sucked his thumb n asked me to do the same. man! i can't do that!!
tired laew. went back on land about 5pm~

bought thai silk cushion covers.. very nice!~ at a great price for that too. bought a small sling bag for my camera n money pouch. wanted to shop for slippers. but i can buy slippers at $2.90 in singapore. over there the slippers r average 199 baht. dad went back to hotel cuz he felt uncomfortable. Sup came to join us. mom went crazy n bought A LOT of local food products.. haha.. walked thru Bangla Rd.
