HEY HEY HEY. i am back people ! missed me ? jk. woo. phuket was fantastic. afterlife of the tsunami. with people selling dvds on it o_O hmm. and less aqua's (: heh. no eye sores. alrite alrite. rewind <<

DAY 1
met up with chans and tohs and the airport. had some subway for breakfast before boarding at a mad time of 0640. i think we reached phuket bout 0810 phuket time and set off to club andaman. cool hotel with excellent service right beside the beach. fabuloso. went to walk around the patong stalls and see stuff with the super hot weather. ate at some super nice italian restaurant. costed my dad a bomb though. then went off to walk again while the fathers did some booking of activities we will do for the next 3 days. so off we went. walk walk walk. then later found it too hot. walked back to hotel and went for a nice swim with timmo while sam went to sleep. later in the night went to family restaurant and ate dinner. shiok man. been a long time since i had such good seafood. later went to get a fake LV wallet. ha. (sorry reb i didn't know if you would like the girl LV's there so i didn't get any) yepp and went back hotel with timmo and bought baskin robbin's along the way. heh.

DAY 2
had to wake up at 6:30 cause gotta bus comes at 7:45. had buffet breakfast. food was not bad. had to rush off to the port quite far off patong. it was super low tide so we had to take a short ride to the main port and it poured when we reached at around 0930 phuket time and chatted till the rain stopped. took the speedo boat to KHAI ISLAND. super clear water with nice fishies. guide said cannot swim too far off cause of currents. had a slight burnt on my upper back. sian. that island became sooooo empty lor after tsunami cause that island was also hit. hai. saw some european people doing some film or advertisement on the island too. swam till 1400 and took speedboat to some place in the middle of the sea to look at corals. super cool but fish kept biting me so i went up the boat. got seasick after awhile so. yea. was not a good feeling. left the island and went back to hotel which was quite late by then. went to some hotel's restaurant and had dinner. walked along patong beach before that with timmo. haha. during low tide and sunset. nice (: later went shopping. bought fake boardshorts. haha but looks okay tho. went to baskin again.

DAY 3
woke up for WATER RAFTING ((((((: super fun. we only went for 5km because my dad didn't know whether it was really good so just try out. but it was super fun la. the lunch they provided was damn nice and you can ask for seconds and thirds. tomyum crave. so later went for some jungle trek and went to waterfall ! hahaha. swimming against currents and playing slides. great fun. went to the higher part of the waterfall later and wah was super nice. the water super cold and nice. tim jumped from the top down. haha. mad guy. plus our guides were friendly thank god and played with some toad. trying to scare the girls. specifically my sister. (: oh ya. before that had some elephant ride cause the driver mistook his boss's instruction and by accident brought us there so we got it for free. haha. the ride to and fro from the rafting was 4 hours. super long. by the time we got back it was like 1730 ? went to swim with sam and tim at the pool. went to eat some small "restaurant" near the hotel. okay okay la. walked along patong again. wanted to buy more boardshorts but closed alr. sigh.. so went to baskin again. ha. regular customers. (:

DAY 4
didn't really do much. just woke up later than the previous days. so went for breakfast and a morning swim myself and later everyone set off to the BIG C. the so called factory outlet sale of adidas stuff was quite disappointing. bought reebok shorts. erm went to CENTRAL FESTIVAL shopping mall. it is a huge mall. the shops are big. saw alot of nice stuff there but ex. had some lousy ramen for lunch /= and later went to the sportshop and they sell 49cc motorbikes. cool (: walked around till 1500 and we took a cab back to patong. bought more boardshorts. went back to hotel. packed stuff and went off to airport. flight was empty. and just reach home at 2330 singapore time.

afterlife of the tsunami. 25% of tourists only. job pay cuts. god bless their country. (:
