Phuket'11
Have finally come back from my 4D3N's Phuket trip. It was fun but yet very tiring....
As this time Weng was bringing her parents along for this trip, hence, we have chosen a serviced apartment as our accomodation in Phuket. It suits for family trip or a big gang of friends who wish to stay together. This apartment located in Patong, the heart of Phuket and is rather convenient for us. When you walked down the street, a lot of stalls for food, massage and etc were located there...
DAY1
We reached in Phuket airport was approximately 2:30 p.m. of the local (2 hours flight from Spore to Phuket), upon reaching there we took a van back to our serviced apartment. Heard from Pou that usually those drivers will send you to there travel agency there and ask you to choose their package, I wasn't believe that it would happen to us, but it happened. The driver sent us to their travel agency and offered their packages to us. We got no choice but telling them that we have booked our tour in advance to our departure. Finally, they let us go.... We was like gosh...
Finally, we had reached the place where accomodated us for 3 nights.. we were impressed by the appearance of the apartment, it was elegant, nice and classy...me personally never been to such nice apartment so far.... after putting down our luggages and settled down, we walked down the street to look for food and tour packages...Weng and I didn't eat anything since our breakfast.
We walked along the street, there were a lot of restaurant selling seafood, shops selling souvenirs, masage and etc... different variety of shops that you can find there. After certain distance of walking, we had reached the shopping mall...We had chosen Japanese food as our dinner as Pou advised that according to her friend, the food selling in Fuji restaurant (Japanese food) is cheap and worth for a try. After placing our orders and finished our dinner, we gotta walk and search for local tours for our following activities for the next 2 days.
Later, we have selected one of the stalls and chosen our tour packages. One thing, we gotta learn in Phuket is "BARGAIN". You must know how to bargain with the sellers as the prices that they offerred were high. After chosen our packages, we decided to walk home as all of us were tiring including weng's parents. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily, we got no choice but to stop by at massage shop and have some massage... It was my first time trying Thai massage... Awesome!!
DAY 2
We woke up early in morning for our snorkelling activities. The tour guide picked us up from our apartment and after finished picking up the other tourists, they sent us to their head office near to the jetty and wait for the remaining tourists before heading to the jetty to board the speed boat.
We have been worried about the weather forecast which we have checked right before our trip, fortunate that it was not realised =) as all days have been sunny. We were hopping to 2 islands, Coral Island and... which I cant remember the name... =p as Weng's parents were unable to follow us for the snorkelling activities, hence they waited us in one of the beach while we headed to the snorkelling spot.
It was Weng and Xen's first time having their snorkelling, both of them enjoyed much..However, all the coral that we seen has dead hence is not attractive as those that I had seen in Pulau Redang...its uncomparable.
After finished our snorkelling activities, the tour guides sent us back to our apartment and after cleaning ourselves, we head to Fantasea show, one of the famous spot in Phuket. We had our buffet dinner there followed by the show. It was nice and impressive.. =)
DAY 3
As we have booked our tour guide would pick us at 3:30p.m. hence we don't need to wake up early.. we have our own sweet time resting in our comfortable apartment. After woke up, we head to Patong beach, the beach that is near to our apartment. Patong beach is known with its beach and night activities. Usually tourist would choose to stay near to Patong as it is convenient to go anywhere.
We had our lunch and walked around ourselves on those stalls along Patong beach. We were attracted by those shops located along the beaches, they were selling lots of souvenirs and accesories which I was obsessed all the while.. as it was cheap enough, hence I only managed to buy a short pants and some fridge magnet. Thereafter we head back to our apartment and waiting for our next tour.
The tour guide brought us to a place whereby we could have our elephant trekking..It was my first time having elephant trekking and I was so scared as Weng wasn't beside me. He was the lucky one being chosen by the tour guide to sit alone, hence, I sat with Pou...I was sooo scared and hold tightly on the bar beside me. The elephant trekker was made fun wth us along the way....Later, I managed to feed the elephant eat bananas as well.. my firs time !
Later, we were brought to see the famous big buddha located at the hill.. It was spectacular...but there were still renovating work undergoing beneath the big buddha.... after taking some nice pics..we head to the weekend market which we also named it as " Night market"
It was a heaven for me..the things that sold there were cheap!!!!!!!!! After allocating weng's parents to have their dinner, we split our ways and head to shop our stuffs......my all time favourite.... Pou and I each manage to buy 3 clothes, 1 short pants and 1 dress within 40 minutes time....hahahaha..... the total that i need to pay was less than S$30....soo cheap.... I wish I have more time to be there.......
After we reached hotel, Pou needs to buy tumblet for her friends, so weng, sing and me accompanied her to go back Patong beach to buy it.....on my way, I manage to buy 2 scafts for myself which I wish to have it for a long time.... =)
time flies and my 4D3N Trip has finished.....thing to be learn for the trip is to learn to BARGAIN!!!!

Memory
It has been a long long since my last post...have been busy as usual..finally felt that its time to drop by to joint down what had happened recently.
Recently a lot of wedding bells ring heard from my friends however at the same a bad news were heard from fb..one of my classmate in high school has been passed away.. I was shocked and couldn't even describe the feeling at that moment. She was a nice girl and we were used to hang around in school when we were still classmates.. After we had graduated from school, each of us has go to our own path and did not even get in touch with each other.
I was so regret that I did not take my initiative to find her or look for her in fb even knowing that she was far in uk..This incident had given me a thought that life is short and we should appreciate who are still surrounding us...
RIP friend.....
