Day of Mayhem



the day was exactly like the title. mayhem.

imagine 3 dogs in one car, plus 4 passengers, 1 driver. but most importantly, faulty air-con.

CAN JUST DIE INSIDE.

javier was damn excited, boxer was in a huge cage and baby was, no, not shivering. she was practically 'vibrating'. that day was as tiring as days can get.

and the biggest (in all sense of the word!) irritant of the day has to be..

he ran everywhere, didn't come when called, and jumped on a kid and made him cry! i can imagine what shonia will say. "oh my god, so horrible!"

but i love him to bits.

we're back..

and i wished we stayed a few more days.

lol. but our finance would definitely not allow that to happen. it pains me to just think about how much we spent. totally unacceptable! not backpacker-ish at all. but what the hell! it was a celebration so i guess it's ok to splurge once in a while.

patong worked it's charm as soon as we arrived. a small town with lots of shops and eateries, it was paradise. not to forget the charming little guesthouse that greeted us when we arrived up the town's points.. by a lot. i felt the thai people were generally very nice and friendly. met a lot of people who made the trip more pleasant.

phi phi took a little getting used to. the place is very run down, but that's okay. the biggest disappointment on the first day was the weather and beach. the water was not clear - at all. and the lodging just made me so gloomy. but that cleared up as the day wore on, and by the second day i thought phi phi rocked. island life at it's best.. quaint shops, nice pubs. nice.

but the best-est thing that happened on the trip? diving. it rekindled my love for the sport and i really missed out so much these 2 years. i wanna go diving again as soon as possible! but even better than best-est? yihao dived as well and that was just great.

tell you guys a secret..

we are broke!!

turns out phuket is not so cheap afterall! accomodation may be a steal, and getting bargains when shopping makes things affordable.. EATING IS NOT!! everyone knows i definitely do not eat like a mouse. well, it's definitely taking a toll on our funds. so...

it's QQ to the rescue!

she just transfered 3174 B to my account. lol.

thank God for ATMs.

phuket's not so sunny!

hey everyone! patong has been great! haha okay lah not great but fun enough. it's shopping heaven so yihao's pretty much the happiest he's been since some time (army and all!). the nightlife is so vibrant.. clubs, caberet, tiger shows, macdonalds (open 24hrs). how to describe the sex industry? it's like geylang on every street. patong's beach is the pits. total disappointment. our accomodation rock though! for air-con and comfy beds, we only pay $22 per night!

just came over to phi phi island today. the weather was quite bad in the morning but cleared up by afternoon. the water turned out to be not bad!! clearer than perhentian, but you have to wade further out sea.

we're gonna dive tmr! yihao's going for the discovery scuba.. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? i'm so psyched! the underwater world is amazing and he's gonna see it tmr! okay everyone. have fun back in singapore and see u guys soon!!
