day two at phuket!

Which was spent pretty lazily actually. I found myself waking up at around six something. AM. Probably because I get horribly unused to another bed. Or maybe its just the pull in bed the parental units got for me. Oh well, a girls gotta do what her parents coerce ask her to do? xD

Buffet Breakfast! It was part of our package of rooms, and the spread was alright. Though really, after three days of eating the exact same thing, you start getting a bit bored of it.

The same grape juice we were served on the first day. Me likes it! ^__^

It was still early by the time we finished breakfast, about 9am or so Phuket time, so before heading down to do more exploring, we went to lounge by the poolside for a while.

Laptop included of course, since Novotel provides us free wi-fi service for customers. Heehee. Nothing better then chatting with friends next to a pool with the best weather and seabreeze for accompaniment.

I went for a swim too! Found pretty flower in the pool while splashing around. xD And I actually finished a book while lounging on the poolside too. Whilst observing random people walking around. Like how the Europeans, guai lou's love suntanning in the sun? I hate getting tanned. Or dark. Or whatever. So naturally, I kept to the seats by the shades, and each time they walked past me I keep getting weird looks. Odd. Goddarn it I want to stay white, or as white as I can be anyway. *forlorn*

Went to Jungceylon after that! Its apparently one of the newer shopping malls in Patong? It looked pretty modern though, and reminded me of malls in Singapore when I stepped in. Though albeit, nothing beats the malls in Malaysia. Like c'mon, 7 floors all with organized shops and stuff? No competition yo.

They did have a rather nice fair going on when we were there though. Lookie! Selling kitchen utensils!

Except... their a bit too tiny for us to use.

Had lunch in the food court in Jungceylon, which wasn't all that great honestly, and was a bit on the pricey side too. So I didn't take any pictures. We returned to the hotel after that cause we're a bunch of lazy people who wanted a relaxing holiday, so we just lazed in the room till evening.

Market in Patong reminded me a little of Petaling Street when it came to the things on sale. The vendors there were aimed for tourists, but the difference is that you can haggle, and not be hassled when you decide not to get something! Less intimidating then Petaling Street, but I was still a bit freaked out whilst there.


More food! The night market in Patong is the most awesome place to go for food, I tell you. There's those grilled 'char siew' like meat and pork ribs which is a must try, because its like a sweeter, more succulent version of Malaysia's 'char siew'. And then there's a type of squid egg which to me is pretty tasteless, but if you're the type to go for texture then go for it! There's things from tempura prawn-like thingies to meatballs and sausages dipped in some special Thai sauce. And even some sort of white powdered, grilled fish! So many choices, its like a goddamn buffet.


They still has the aunties who walk around the tuk-tuk vendors selling food to them! In fact, one of the baskets has hot coals under wire mesh, which I think the aunties heat food over with. Oh! And the parentals mentioned something about these people selling the succulent bugs the Thai's eat too. You know the fried grasshoppers and cockroaches? You can never bribe me to eat these. Ever.

In the end, we forgoed our pre-planned seafood dinner to buy back some of the night market foods to eat. Something weird? You know how in Malaysia, there's the deep end and the shallow end of the styrofoam packaging? And the shallow end is usually the cover? Well, in Phuket its the other way round. So the food portions are rather small. Though they are nice! The mother was worried we wouldn't be used to random germs in Phuket though, so she insisted we only get the hot foods.

All in all though, the meat we bought and some form of fried beehoon and kuey teow still tasted awesome. The... so - called or chien like thingy was just normal though. I wanted to try the meatballs dipped in Thai sauce but the mother wouldn't let me. ;__;

phuket day 1

Right after the day of my final exam, I had to wake up at 4:30. AM. To do what? Catch a flight. Why? Cause I'm going to Phuket for my holidays baby! Granted, its only four days, but its better then none, no? xD

Had McD at LCCT before our flight at 7. I shouldn't have eaten though. It spoilt my apetite on flight. Dx

Reached Phuket Airport around 7.55 A.M Phuket time, and I was amused at what I saw outside the window when we landed. Will explain later. xD

Rented a car! Stepdad said it'll be easier to travel with a rented car. xD

Again, amused by the sight outside the window as we drove. Why? Because its so... so alike to another village in Malaysia. In fact, it reminds me of mainland Penang.

Dropped at a market at Phuket Town, where we saw pretty sites! Again, its like a typical wet market. Except for the foreign language. xD

Bought some sweet potato thingy! Was a bit on the starchy side, but was nice nonetheless. And I was getting hungry since I ate nothing but Hash Browns since morning. xD

Went to Patong Beach after that! To just visit the beach and get lunch because I was stark raving starving by then.
The parentals went to order the food while I ran down to the beach myself for a while. I couldn't resist! Such pretty sights, no?

Played with sand! And pretty slippers, because pink and white is very becoming, and JJ has a very good eye. xD

Coconut shake! They should make those here in Malaysia. Totally the most awesome drink I've had in a while.

Mango shake! Which is nice too! But not as good as coconut shake. Heehee.

Sugar. Which seemed to be on every condiment tray in Phuket, or Thailand for that matter. They do love their sugar, no? xD

Went to the hotel after lunch! Was greeted by nice concierge guy named Chris. He was Korean apparently, but was sent to Phuket to work.

We were given grape juice and a cold towel while we checked in! Perfect, since it was very, very hot. Dx

Ordered room service club sandwich! Before we went back to the beach, because we is hungry. After lunch. Phuket makes you hungry? /shot

Beach is ideal for picture taking, anyone toldchu that? It is! Excuse the fatty layers prz.

Nice hotel is nice! Its a hot place, Phuket is. So they provide free water and ice box! xD

Wrote names on the beach! Not my own only la, I not that narcisstic. I wrote for friends too la, but too lazy to put them up. People, go claim from FB!
Saw some kids making sandcastles! Is pretty. ^__^

We went to night market after a walk in the beach! My face has nothing to do with that, just wanted to show pretty beach is pretty. xD

Oddly enough in Phuket, they had alot of fat, stray dogs wandering around. Sleeping in front of air-conditioned shops when it gets too hot. Lucky doggies. xD

Technically, not night yet. But they still call it night market nonetheless? xD

Bought more fruit shakes! Cause the shakes in Phuket is ftw. This is watermelon and Mango. Without sugar, watermelon pwns. But Mango needs a lil sugar or it'll be rather sour.

Went back to the beach after the walk to see the sunset! ... Sadly, didn't get to see it cause it was too cloudy. But beach is still pretty? xD

And so ends the first day. Just went back to the hotel to sleep after that cause dudeeee we woke up at 4:30am, felt dead tired. xD

belated


I miss you more then anyone knows. I'm never a person to show how I am. In fact, if given a choice I would run to my room and yell before I show you any of my tears. But ... yeah, its been ten years and I still do miss you. Makes me wonder, would things have been different if you're still around?

I feel guilty sometimes, for not being able to do what I know both of them want me to. But truth is, I just can't. I'm sorry too, for being unable to visit you at the temple this year. I wanted to, but I can't dissapoint them both. But anyway, I'll end this here. And I always miss you.

Happy Fathers Day to all Dad's out there, no matter who, or where you are. ^__^

heehee

i can forgive anything. but what you've done is just way too far.

i won't remove my previous posts though, because to me you are dead. at the very least, the dongsaeng i knew and loved, the one that called me unni and cheered me up. that one is dead. you're someone else entirely. and i don't know what to think of you at all.
