I'm back!

Friends from everywhere have been asking me 'bout the trip to Thailand.. Phuket I mean.. and I would say my first expression about the place is..a food heaven! Guess what?? I put up one-and-a-half kgs during my 3 nights stay-which was awesome! Hahahaa..

Ok. let me start from the beginning. But i would like to jot down something about my 'bumpy rides' boarding the Air Asia on my way to phuket. Waaaa.. I dunno how to describe it.. but I can hear err.. 'the machine' joints was cracking or something..hehe..errghh.. I couldn't dare to look outside! it was a total horror you see! I kept on asking, what if we couldnt make it..? ughhh..just imagine that...!

That was surely not my first time on the plane. But this time got me shaking all out of me. Really. The thing is, knowing that this Air Asia company started their business operating 'second hand' crafts- made me wonder wayyyy to much about the condition...as well as ME being carried away by a documentary I once watched sometime this year about plane crash! By looking at it (the craft) - was soooo obvious .. but to be in it... hah!! (sigh).

Ok...enough bout me scared of falling. Hehehe..After an hour feeling so close to faint, we finally arrived at the Phuket International Airport. We've been told that our hotel would take another 40 minutes by road- and there i went craving for a good bath. Not everybody there speaks English-and there we go.. blurred with the signs and curly-words- it was totally aliens! Thank God the driver speaks a lil' English.. though we sometimes couldn't get what he was mumbling around.. at least we had a DAMN GOOOOOOD lunch that afternoon... Chicken Fried Rice and other Thai hot and spicy dishes.. hahahaha....

I would say that Phuket is suprisingly hilly. To get to Phuket Town, which was again ..surprisingly quite a large city.., we have to across quite a long and winding road. I couldn't even turn left or right or else I would vomit inside out! The dizzy-feeling was beyond words. But after 30 minutes with warm-fuzzy-feelin', we reached Patong Beach, and another 10 minute to my hotel - which is in Karon Beach, I sat there spellbounded to see the ocean in front me.. speechless.. the emerald blue sea was so calm and fascinating.. "Wow..!".. " So..this is it.." Finally got myself there.

And yes. Phuket is wayyy different with Bali. There, it's more like my dad's hometown; Langkawi and i felt like belonged to the place. And there goes another tourist - got herself captivated by the scenes in front of her. Haaa.. (sigh)

Yes. The sea was awesome. It has its own character that will instantly melt us.. and of all the sudden, I've forgotten all the fatigueness I had on the flight. My hotel, Phuket Ocean Resort was excellent I would say..and it was sooo huge. The first time I got there, felt like i was in Rome or something...mainly because of the hotel's design ; terraced, shady, and every room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Breathtaking.

Our days were filled with shopping, strolling on the beach.. some swimming.. but again.. the food was so damn good!! we can't help having ourselves indulged in every dish they served us. Even a simple soup was opulent with seafood! Who can resist that???

And there was a stall selling hot-fried chicken with sticky rice. It sound weird to me at first, but as soon as they got into my mouth-I begged my dad to get them packed for dinner also! Hahaha... and there I went eating like crazy. My mom continuosly warned to watch my diet- but my dad was soooo generous .. letting me and my sis ate as much as we like!

And at night, I became an anaconda..... dozed off to sleep in split seconds! Hahhahaha... and again.. the 'fried chicken' filled my dreams... hahahahaha..

Every single thing on the land was so interesting. The people were funny, with weird-accent language. Although I sometimes do watch Thai dramas at home, but to hear them spoke to me 'live', was rather funny. Even the signboards was funny. There goes the hospital sign --> a bed.

My sister and I went in and out souvenirs shops which sells t-shirts etc. Apparent porn-creative minded peeps, they went selling t-shirts with funny porn cartoons on it. There goes 'Superman' logo and wordings being changed to 'Sperman'.. 'Mastercard ' to 'Masturbate'..and many more..and we went laughing all the way in and out...

And once, at a flee market, a lady came up and said something alien to me. I was stunned! I went "aaa......eeerrr.........aaaa................." Blurred and speechless. They laughed at me. And I laughed back.. Hahahahhahaha.... Happy people..though they're just selling dried fish.. still got happy friends and life.. Guess I should be thankful huh??

Last minute shopping was even more interesting! I bought a sandal ala the 'Tropicana Life' for only ten baht, equal to 1 Ringgit malaysia. The frenzy went on and on.. even my mum was sooo crazy 'bout it! And we went taking advantage of it..!

"Ma.. can i have this?" I begged for another sport shoes.."And this..?" and another..and another.... and the list went on..

Hahahahha....

We missed the match between arsenal and fulham as there was no ESPN channel, but enough with henman and federer game as well as hewitt vs federer in the US Open final. So hard to understand what the hell they were saying, both on TV or with the peeps.. but everything went very well until our last day there.

Really worth going- i would reccommend all of you to visit Phuket. Not so many tourist, no traffic jams, the food was great... transportions may be a bit expensive( if you don't bargain) , they have 'tuk tuk' - a small lorry cum taxi which they decorate it very nicely, and you can save even more if you ask me first bout where to go.. hehehehe..

Enough with the stories. Go there by yourselves. They have spas and lots of massage spot all over the place..


Intann : And here I am.. Have to get back on the treadmill... wish me luck guys! Hehehe...
