HO im back. huahuahua. Phuket rocks. Though still can c the effects of tsunami. The tiles r cracked n loose and a lot of rebuilding n new buildings. N there wasn't any trees along the street at all. -.- cos hav all their telephone n electrical lines hanging all over like spaghetti. so tangled. >< n then there was dis cable dat was giving out sparks n falling to the ground n guess who was walking under when a spark fell. -.- I looked up n saw this small firebacll floating down and quickly ducked. damn scary. XD anw so it was damn hot there. no shade derh =((
And the beaches were like damn crowded. Full of ang mohs that had at least three fat tires on them and yet they still wear trunks and bikini. HORROR. they all were like, LOBSTER cos dey were so damn sunburnt. XD so dumb. in the morning so hot liao, aftnoon worse. Yet they stone there whole day. no wonder they no longer look white but red.
The locals very friendly. not as kiasu n kanchiong as singaporeans. =P traffic light was like, 99 secs left n no one horns. and dey're driving skills rock. Theres some damn steep mountains dat r like, so smooth so easy to slide down, but even the schoolkids (how come dey so yng can ride liao yar) can drive up n down on the motorbike, with like 4 ppl on it n stilltalking on moblie phone worh. *claps. and then the police guys always help us cross roads. n there's 1 dat always salutes when we walk pass. =DDD dey always smile derh. And then the some guy on the jetski was like, waving to me so i waved back n aft that whenever we walked past the beach he'll b like, HI! u again! and their earholes. SCARY. everyone including guys hav at least 2. N they use stuff like toothpicks, straws and this guy used a large plastic circular thingo to keep it frm closing. so the hole is so HUGE.
AND THE FOOD. SO HEAVENLY. especially the fish! THE WONDERFUL FISH. they let u choose a fish (from the tank!) , then u sit n wait while dey cook it. then, half an hour later it comes steamed n in a sour n spicy gravy. so the fish is like so damn fresh! =DDD we had fish everyday n i ate half of it myself XD i bet i gained at least five kg.
Ok now abt the activities! =DDDDD
Day 1
We reached phuket quite late at night n it as drizzling, so we didn't go anywhere just checked into the hotel. Apperently that hotel is so deep in n blocked by buildings so it was unaffected by the tsunami. N my mum made friends with all the concierges, receptionist etc etc. She even bought em bananas o.O ( n the tour guide was so long winded talk non stop when no one listening -.- )
Day 2
Half day city tour! It wasn't that fascinating. But the elephant treks ROCKED. So we woke up at 8, showered than had hotel breakfast. It had all my fave food! =P so i ate a lot. ham n bacon n sausages n pancakes etc. n omelettes that they fry on the spot for u. ok so went in the minivan. cos our group was small, just 10 ppl. n the tour guide again talk non stop, saying the same things over and over. So at the elephant trek, I RODE AN ELEPHANT. me n my mum on 1, dad n bro on another. My dad was like damn scared, he held on for a dear life. there was a very steep slope! THen the elephant slowly lumber down.....its like so scary like u're slipping off. n halfway my elephant stopped, pooped and peed (alot) then happily continued its journey. Then there was this baby elephant in a small enclosure, tourists can take fotos, or feed it with pineapples that u buy frm a vendor. n the elephant perform tricks. it played a harmonica, painted, spined a hula hoop, stood on its hind legs n kissed my dad =DDD
Dad: OMG the elephant really kissed! Got SUCTION sommore!
Us: AHAHAHA
Dad: is that a male or female elephant?
Keeper: Female, sir.
Dad: Oh. Lucky.
Mum: Eh?!
there was a photo of elephant breeding. And it solved the question i asked since we got our 2 little doggies. So elephants and girraffes hump too, even though their so big. I nvr thought that possible. But the photo was there to prove it. -.- my bro was like staring in fascination. the rest shirt factory, cashewnut factory were boring. The elephants were the MAIN of the whole trip. ever since i saw the brochure XP
day 3
Went Phi Phi Islands. The boat trip was great. Me n mum went onto the top deck s it was very ncie and windy =DD n thailand has a lot a lot of transverstites. Apperently all the men feel a strong urge to be female -.- Ya so there was 1 on the deck there. She (or he? ) still had adam apple. N moustache. So she looked half male half female. Better to stay fully male right. -.- Anyway actually the trip was damn disappointing. Travel whole day on the sea and all u do is snorkel at 2 stops for 1/2 hour each. N at the first stop my dad was making damn negative comments like wad, theres nothing to see, no fish etc, wasted trip blablabla so he was hinting he didn't want us to go down. So i got pissed. Cos everyone was going down and we were the only ones on the boat. So what u think i did. I cried. -.- right there on the boat.
Me: *cries
Brother: !!!!!!! What did i do?!?! *blames my mum and himself
Father: !!!!!!!! EH?! *blames the trip for disappointing me and my bro
Mother: ........??!?!?! What happened?! *blames dad n bro
Anw so that scared my dad. and bro. So the next stop we went. =D *I win!* But actually the 1st stop was better. The corals were like damn high up. I got cut on the ankle -.- Then stopped on the island beach for lunch ( no fish! =((( ) then i bought magnets.
By the time reached back to hotel my dad n bro were like, treading carefully around me n letting me decide what to do. In case i cried again. And my mum was very happy. She said i finally showed my dad. cos he was quite pessimistic so far.
Then for dinner went to a very nice roadside restaurant. With the very very nice fish! =DD i love fish!
Day 4
Free and easy day. So, at my insistence, my mum booked dinner and show for FantaSea. In the evening. Then we went to Phuket Town. Its the same as Singapore lah. Got Robinsons sommore. So we stoned there. Then the kind taxi driver, who insisted phuket town food sucks, brought us to a seaside restaurant. Where they let us choose a fish, then they went off to cook it while we ordered other food. And there was this Lobster than was HUGE. Like 10 times the size of the other lobsters. It cost 7000 baht! thats like S$280. Enough for SIX ppl! Ok so we went to eat. And the fish was fantastic =D cos it was so damn fresh. ( it was still swimming around half an hour ago ) N steamed is the nicest.
So later went to watch FantaSea. It was fantastic mann. There were elephants, cows, chickens, goats, even a TIGER. and all very well trained! There were loud explosion n fre effects, n the elephants didn't even flinch! And the clowning part was the best. There was this midget guy n i thought it was actually a 5 year old kid. Turns out it was a dwarf guy! he took off his mask in e end n we were like, OMG! O.o
And the magician guys were like, grabbing the main character n saying, Let's turn him into a tiger yea? so they locked him in a cage and their wand went BANG, like explosion, n they lifted the cloth n there was.......A thai girl. Wearing a tiger skin bikini. -.- Tiger = Thai Girl. Then the magicians were like, EH! Wrong wrong wrong! Tiger! not Thai Girl! So they put the girl back in the cage and BANG. A REAL TIGER. Damn cool sia. and then the part the guy was singing to his love and then chickens ran past. LOL damn funny. And the elephants did some kinda dance, n put their front legs on the elephant in front's hips. It was very nice! And those elephants were still young. They went on n off the stage holding each other's tail. And this poor elephant was like, desperately trying to grab the tail of the other elephant but he didn't manage. =P
Day 5
Last day liao. So morning went Patong Beach full of ang mohs. We went swimming. The water is very nice and clear, and the sand fine and sandy. So cool. N so many ppl. No wonder Tsunami had a field day. And there were JELLYFISH. small 1. So duh we got stung. It waS like red ant bite. not that bad. so we ended up sunburnt too. Then aftnoon went to eat at some shop, ( fish again! ) then my bro n dad went shopping under the hot sun. Me n my mum walked round the beach. The shops selling pirated dvds and gameboy catridges were like damn smart. They disguised the front of the stall as shops selling copies of the movie Tsunami. Like who wants to be reminded. so my bro bought mario games. Then at the airport my mum gave the driver a tip of 1100 baht. !!!!!!! thats 40+ sing dollars. and i had to convince her to give a mere 20 baht to the kind taxi driver who showed us nice restaurants and shops!
Anw so dats it. It was great on the whole. If only my bro didn't fall sick on the 1st 2 days. Hohoho. Whee. now im back in singapore.
Home sweet home XD
