Phuket 2013

HI I AM BACK FROM MY GRAD TRIP WITH SIX OF THE MOST AWESOMEST GIRLS.

I am so sunburnt it hurts. The long and short of the trip: We ate, we slept, we perspired, we swam, we got roasted, we lepak, we had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun~~~

(10 May: Wts working life is so busy now I know why people don't blog THERE IS NO TIME my sunburn is somewhat healed already lol ok continue blogging)

Sigh I miss Phuket~ Felt so carefree and happy (but still only 30% of Wuhan's awesomeness). Livia, Manjun, Gen, Yanhong and Weilin I'm so grateful to have met you guys in poly and Rachel I'm happy you went to MCM from Nanhua ^_^ Without you guys I'd probably have gone batshit crazy. Thank you for making this short getaway so memorable! I wanna go back to Thailand again~~~!!!

Oh oh the morning of the flight we managed to surprise Manjun with cupcakes because it was her birthday!!! :D:D:D

Rachel and Manjun wrecking havoc at 7am in the morning hahahahaha

The flight to Phuket was short but it felt long I do like flying hahaha. A really nice atas van came to pick us up from the airport and everyone was staring at us as we boarded SUPERSTAR MOMENT PLEASE. It was probably because some of them were wearing shades and dressed up damn nicely and all (RACHEL ALL RACHEL) and I look like their manager oppa LOL.

Anyway the 7 of us stayed in Surin Park and it was so amazing (albeit a bit far, about 30-40mins away from Phuket Town where the shopping and happening stuff are). Surin Park is a service apartment so people clean your room/give you fresh towels everyday and THERE IS A KITCHEN. Felt like a tai tai for three days ~_~ We arrived too early to check in on the first day so we left our luggage behind and went out for lunch!

Lunch by Surin Beach~

Mr Tan's seafood restaurant haha my lao peh and Manjun's lao peh open one mai siao siao. The food wasn't sensational but it was very satisfying~!

Fried pork with red curry (mine), Livia's crab glass noodles and Rachel's pad thai~~~ The rest were too far away for me.

Headed back to the apartment after lunch where we had a secret mission: Preparing for Manjun's mini surprise hahaa had to convince her to leave the apartment with Weilin and Rachel to settle our airport transfer and get new slippers for Rachel cuz it broke wtf good timing!!! Luckily she didn't suspect anything. ^_^

Photos from Rachel Phay hehe

Didn't use the jacuzzi cuz we were too busy playing in the sea. The toilet is the master bedroom's~ SO SPACIOUSSS.

ORCHIDS EVERYWHERE

Welcome drinks~~~

Beautiful pool.

My favourite part of the house: The kitchen with Electrolux appliances *______*

Decorated the bedroom for Manjun ^_^

Before we headed to Surin beach~~~

Surin Beach.............WAS SO VIOLENT WTF. Nearly drowned wtf kept getting knocked down by the waves (don't wear bikinis...) and got hit in the crotch and it still hurts a week later....... BUT Yanhong discovered that if we go deeper it was better but still tiring trying to stay afloat. VERY GOOD EXERCISE.

Went out at night to some shopping mall...but we were all quite exhausted hahaha I remember eating Baskin Robbins and pretty bad but atas Thai food at the mall....and that was the end of our first day~

Day 2: Patong Beach and weekend market

Photo from Manjun.

BREAKFAST BUFFET IN PJs AT 7.30AM WAHAHA.

It wasn't really a buffet but you could order unlimited stuff from a menu (scrambled eggs, omelette, porridge, cereal, bacon, ham, fruits, etc). They kept getting our orders wrong though...I never got my mushroom omelette lolol I literally got everything else but mushrooms in my omelette wtf. Still good, still good.

Made a sandwich.

Rachel's cereal. SO KIDDY.

Went back up to do in-room massage (400 baht) IT WAS SO SHIOKKKKKK. I want massage now. Huhuhu.

There's a heart shape in Livia's tea hahaha.

Took a taxi to Patong afterwards~~~ (700 baht) ^_^

Engaged in touristy behaviour... :D

Livia got a star, Yanhong got a dolphin and Rachel got a swallow anklet thingy.

AH LIANS.

Had a very satisfying linner/dunch. *_* 

THE FOOD WAS SO GOOOOOD.

Watched the sunset in the sea with the loveliest people :') 

Thanks Rachel for taking this photo!!

Sun too bright ahhh.

We were waiting for Rachel Phay and Genevieve to come back from the toilet I think hahaha.

People were selling the paper lanterns at the beach (60 baht) so we got one and wrote our wishes on it and let it fly. It was perhaps the most touching moment on the trip. Also the hottest. I have no idea who has the photo of the lit lantern. Huhu.

Someone setting off fireworks before we left and after our lantern flew away.

How apt.

GO WEEKEND MARKET!!! (500 baht)

Didn't buy because I was too full =(

Our loot for under SGD$80!!! I miss shopping liao.

SHARK HENNA.

Faded already I'm very sad.

Last day :(

Livia and I lepaking with fries and pina colada in coconuts (at 11am wtf)

while the rest went parasailing/jet-skiing again. 

It's quite costly (1500 baht) but worth it if you've not tried before! The prices are fixed (the guy walks around with a menu) so they won't rip you off. If you're in a large group PLEASE BARGAIN!!! Will get at least 300 baht discount.

Went back to the weekend market earlier that day!!! Surprisingly it was cooler and less crowded ^_^ I think we shopped for 3 hours wtf.

The Converse Gang had street food for dinner woohoo!!! I think it's become a ritual of sorts.

Found a shop selling fried insects. Nope didn't try. :P

I LOVE THE CUTE SHORTS!!!!!!!! It has elephants on it.

Also bought a fish tank for Ed.... it was $8.60 I had to.

Bought lots of food back for supper :Q~

Side track: Yanhong and I got stung by a jellyfish (technically I got stung by what was left of the jellyfish on Yanhong's hand wtf) so we had to avoid seafood and spicy food. T_T Anyway the beach dudes (the ones who asks if you want drinks/deck chairs) took very good care of us (use fresh water to clean the stings, ice it and then rub lime juice/vinegar on it and it'll stop stinging in 30 minutes). We attracted a lot of attention lolol. Weilin got kiap by a crab too wtf THE SEA IS CHASING US HOME WHY. Anyway that was why I bought so much chicken and pork................ hahaha.

(2nd photo from Livia's instagram)

Nom nom with the alcohol Livia bought ;D

We were supposed to stay up but we were so tired that we went to bed wtf and WOKE UP LATE thankfully Gen woke me up in time because I was supposed to cook breakfast HAHAHA.

(photo from Livia)

Breakfast I made ^_^ Gen helped to slice the tomatoes and toast bread HAHA.

The staff gave us the raw ingredients (again, wrong quantity and missing food) so we could cook it as we had to leave before the breakfast starts.

My happy customers.

Sigh and that was the end of our Phuket trip. It was the BEST beach holiday I've had and I can't wait to travel with you guys again. :)

Abrupt end I need to go to work wtf Happy Mother's Day ah.

(I may or may not blog about my Taiwan trip because it was quite boring. Hahaha.)
