great! So i'm here in Phuket and I have internet access here in the hotel for free! Except, I'm feeding the mosquitoes for free all my blood while using the com. bleah.

Well, the hols so far was good. It's ending tml. Been arnd here for 3 days already since friday. On the first day, touched down, rested in the room then head down to the beach. Went to dine at 2 different restaurants. The place where I stay in is a very small town. Not the city area but the outskirts. So we walked arnd on foot to many places. The beach near our hotel was not too bad. Crowded but typical. And surprisingly, there are no seashells!

It was full moon on that first night too. Nice. When we came down for dinner, I saw the moon against a very nice scenery at my hotel. The swimming pool at the bottom of the scene, the 4-storey high building, the black sky and the bright moon. Sweet. It totally takes my breath away.

1st day photos: Yesterday, my 2nd day, I went to have breakfast downstairs and boy! the wind was blowing super strongly! But nice nonetheless. The spread was good. So, after breakfast, we headed down for a cruise speed boat trip. An all-day on sea expedition. We sat on a boat that went super fast to various islands and limestone formations. Went into one cave. Kayak arnd to see the different limestones (other ppl kayak us). Went onto one beach that has super clear water and very clean sand. Finally there are seashells! So sat there and take photos. Can't dip into the water as I had forgotten to bring my swimming costume. Ha.

well, had a good time on the beach. Just sitting on the mat. Well, that was the last stop before we head back to the pier. The crew are very nice ppl. One European and 2 Thais. They all can speak very good english. Joke with us alot and take care of po-po alot. Nice and fun. Makes the trip very enjoyable. Also befriended another famiy that is on the boat with us. They are frm Columbia! Spoke in Spanish but also know a bit of English! nice! haha. then, i wished I learnt some spanish frm wanting then I can communicate with them! Haha. Wanting wld be thrilled if she hears this! =) at night, I got dizzy frm the long boat trip. Even when I'm on land, it feels like I'm still in the sea. Well, the day ended off with me going for a shoulder and neck massage. Not too bad. Finally got my therapy though I muz admit she used a bit too much strength. Ha. After all the activities, I was too tired so din go online to talk on msn :(

Yeah. Forgot to add! There's an interesting thing! We went to a Italian restaurant recommended by others online. So we went there and ordered a large pizza, one baked rice and one lagsana. And when the pizza came, we got a big shock! The pizza was my one arm's length in diameter!! It's that large! We all got a big shock when we saw it! Wah! It was quite a something!! So, there, we had to try to finish it tgt with 2 other dishes. Haha. The lagsana was good. Well done. In the end, we had about 3 pieces of pizza to take away. Haha.

after dinner, reuben and I just walked arnd the town ourselves while the rest headed back to the hotel to rest. We walked all the way down to areas we never been before. While heading back to the hotel, we walked along the beach. At night. Nice. The full moon wasn't above the sea but on the other side. Still, it was in view and nice to see it on the right (the sea on the left) and just walk.

2nd day photos:

So, today, went out shopping and sight-seeing. First, went to several look-out points that we can view the sea, the yatchs on the sea and islands. Nice. Quite a nice scene. Took a photo with all the children and dad. Pretty. It's not everyday that we have a photo like this together. After that, went to shop at Expo. And, unlike our Expo concept in Singapore, it is actually a shopping area. Air-conditioned, one level, like a market place. Just that the environment is good. No loud music, not so crowded and cooling! Sweet. So shopped alot and bought many things. For myself, not really. But for mum, yes.

Before Expo, we also went to a shopping centre to have lunch and to shop a while. Well, there, i bought 2 dresses! Haha. Yeah. A spree but I've been wanting to buy them for some time. Yeah. Oh well. Hope it'll fit well and looks nice on me! =)

At night, we went out for dinner and for the first time, it rained here in Phuket! The first time during this trip that it rained! It rained while we were having dinner somemore. Haha. But okay lah. Still managed to eat and find a space indoors. My bro tried a chili and got himself tearing. While my mum accidentally ate a green chili in the tom yam soup and made her feel really bad. Bleah.

Photos for 3rd day:

Okay. So that's it for now. Tml will be a free day. No plans at all. Wonder what we are going to do. Quite sad I didn't get to do much shopping like buying presents and souveniors. In this trip, well, I feel sight-seeing and looking at all the limestones formations start to become normal for me. I feel I don't appreciate them as much as I did the first time I see it last year at Vietnam. I don't know. Seen so many. They all look the same. What's more, I also know how they are form from my geography knowledge. But as I was writing this down yesterday in my diary, I guessed I can still thank God that I have a 2nd chance to see His handicrafts again. Yeah.

Somehow, in this trip, though I didn't talk much to my siblings, or not as much as I hope to, I still like and enjoy their presence and company very much. Mm. Thank God! And glad there's internet here so I can talk to some of my frens. Like Daniel and Kelvin! =)
