Krabi Trip!! (24-27 May 07)

Just came back from my krabi trip.. it was fun!!! love the sun, the sand, the sea....

1st day - 24 May 07

rch budget terminal @ arnd 5pm.. my 1st time there.. checked in and board the plane since there's nothg much to shop @ the DFS.. the plane took off @ 6.05pm touched down krabi @ 7.45pm.. the agency guide (Chai) came to fetch us to La Playa Resort.. he passed us some brochures of tour @ krabi.. there's so much thgs to do! luckily coral & wong has been to krabi so they know wat is fun..

wasn't very pleased with the resort when we went in.. it was ok but not as nice as it seems on the website.. but coral was the most affected one hee... we decided this will be the last time we book this resort.. we went to have seafood dinner.. ordered lobster, squid, clams etc etc.. dinner wasn't really fantastic though the price is relatively cheap & the restaurant is by the seaside.. guess maybe bcos we were all tired & hot.. walked to the shops to check out prices for the tour and managed to bargain for a good price.. we decided on a more relax tour on the 2nd day and leave the snorkelling to the 3rd day.. cant wait for the "adventure" to start!

2nd day - 25 May 07

breakfast @ the resort wasn't really appetizing.. but it doesn't spoil our mood for the coming up tour.. we waited @ the lobby for the guy to pick us up in a mini bus.. the itinerary was to the crystal/ emerald pool and then to the hot spring..

we walked quite a long way in the nature trail to the crystal pool.. on the way we were already fascinated by the clear water flowing down the stream.. the crystal pool was really clear and surrounded by rocks & trees.. we jumped into the water and it feels so good & relaxed to swim so close to the nature.. the mini waterfall acts as a jacuzzi as we lie down on the rocks and the rocks act as a diving board as we jumped into the pool.. we were amused by the boys who did all kind of tricks they could think of.. so funny..

however the walk back to the mini bus wasn't wat we hav expected.. we decided to walk a different way out which is supposed to be nearer.. the road was so very muddy with thick orange soil.. mud got into our slippers and feet.. as we walked further the mud accumulated at the sole of the slippers and it got so difficult to walk bcos of the heavy slippers.. we got so frustrated.. coral said she really can understand the word despair now.. haha.. we finally got to the entrance of the nature trail and we washed our feet and slippers at the small stream.. the road seems so much longer than the trail we hav entered the pool by.. we had lunch @ a nearby little hut.. we ordered pad thai, fried rice, curry & fanta green.. wasn't too bad...

we proceed to the hot spring after lunch.. it was quite crowded but we managed to find a small corner for ourselves.. we soaked in the hot spring for arnd 20 mins and i was feeling giddy alr.. guess i cant really stand heat..

we went to the tiger cave after dat.. meant to climb up hundreds of steps to the top of the mountain but we were real tired to do dat after all the swimming & walking..

the rest of the day were spent on walking arnd the small town.. had seafood dinner at one of the roadside stalls manned by a heshe.. surprisingly the food was nice and cheap.. we decided to come back the next day to try out other dishes.. we bought liquor back to the hotel to drink & watch tv tog.. had a good nite slp after dat to rest well for the upcoming exciting day..

3rd day - 26 May 07

the breakfast was slightly beta.. was advised by wong to take as much carbo as possible cos we will need energy for the rest of the day.. we took the transport to the beach to wait for our speedboat.. it was delayed so me & coral went to pick up some nice seashells on the beach.. the sun was shining fiercely so we put on layers & layers of sunblock..

when the speedboat was here we went straight to the deck for the front seats.. din expect the ride to be so bumpy.. feels like we will be blown away by the wind anytime & the sea water was splashing onto our face.. me & coral held on to the railings tightly but the boys were sitting leisurely.. it was a fun experience...

we went to a few islands to snorkel & walk arnd.. snorkelling was fun! we went to 3 diiferent parts of the ocean to snorkel.. got to see nemo, seahorse, corals, sea urchins & many more.. went to phi phi island for lunch.. it was actually badly affected by the tsunamis in 2004.. the island is still in the process of reconstruction.. cant imagine how it was like during the tsunamis.. we went to shop arnd in the small shops after lunch.. bought 2 batik wraps..

we were tired by the time we rch the resort.. we jumped into the swimming pool to relax and drink margarita by the poolside..

we went back to the same roadside stall for dinner.. it was still as delicious.. yummy! after a walk at the small town we went back to the hotel for our massage.. we were so relaxed after the massage dat we fell aslp straight after dat.. there goes our drinking & dvd watching session..

4th day - 27 May 07

our last day was spent on the city tour.. we went to a fish farm and took photos with my nemo! had duck noodles for lunch, krabi's specialty... had a walk at krabi town and i finally bought my dear's bdae present, a very small-sized hp.. the guide brought us to tiger cave again.. this is the 2nd time we were brought here for our trip so we thot that we shd climb the steps up to see see look look.. the climb was terrible and the walk thru the jungle trail was damn tiring.. we were drenched in our sweat when we finally return to the bottom of the hill..

we were sent to the airport soon after.. a bit sian to tink dat we hav to return hm & start work the next day.. but nevertheless, it was a fun & fantastic trip!

Treaty wkend.. yummy..

been eating quite a lot esp last wkend.. there goes my diet plan.. wont be able to look slim in my bikini shots for my krabi trip haha..

went to defu lane to hav seafood spread with coral & wong on sat.. din expect to see such a bustling seafood restaurant in the middle of the quiet industry area.. we ordered quite a lot.. the herbal drunkard prawns and creamy butter crab are superb! really enjoyed myself eating all the sinful food..

supposed to go shopping for my dear's birthday present yest.. we went to funan IT mall and spent the whole afternoon there.. end up i bought a cam for myself instead.. hee.. and it's pink in colour! so happy and guilty at the same time cos end up my dear din see anythg he like.. feel like buying a watch for him so as to tie him down.. or a pair of sunglasses so he cant see other gals.. haha!

though my dear din get to buy his present, i gave him a bdae treat @ swensons.. i ordered a firehouse happy birthday ice cream for him.. too bad i cant post dear photo with the ice cream cos he's camera shy =P

Black hair day..

I wasn't in a very good mood today since early morning.. maybe a bit stress over work.. smmore the moment i opened my lotus notes saw emails from boss asking abt pending work.. lagi sian.. managed to clear some part of my work but mood still lousy.. my dear wont be able to accompany me today cos he got to work tonite.. suddenly got "the urge" again.. whenever i feel lousy i wld feel like doing smthg to my hair.. that explains why my hair was everchanging.. from perm to straight from brown to red to ash colour from short to long fringe.. actually wanted to cut my hair but work ended at 7pm so a bit too late.. in the end went to buy black dye.. long time din diy my hair colour liao so a bit messy.. but after 30 mins my hair was jet black! my mood relaxed a bit after seeing the change in my hair.. wierd rite..

pray hard that my mood wont be lousy again in the near future.. wonder wat else can i do to my hair.....

Rainie wkend..

It has been raining for this 2 dayz.. Actually planned to go jogging @ Bedok reservoir on Sat but it rained while we were on our way there.. knn.. we had taken my dear's bike instead of car so needless to say both of us got drenched.. in the end spent the evening watching dvd @ our wkend kakis home.. but anyway we enjoyed watching the show tog so it's not too bad..

Today was a very enjoyable day.. Dear cycled all the way from his place (bedok) to my place (boon lay).. cant imagine cycling such long distance but he said dat's part of his training.. we went cycling tog with koda in my basket when he rch.. it rained halfway so we got stuck under a void deck.. luckily it got smaller after arnd 15 mins.. explored quite a no. of places.. we cycled to my sis plc to chit chat a bit and play with my cute nephew.. after dat cycled thru the jurong park connector and passed by the jurong industries, lakeside, jurong lake park and jurong east.. we cycled for 3 hrs which is considered quite a long distance for a rookie like me.. tiring but fulfiling.. dear came to picked me up in the evening for dinner.. actually planned to go shopping @ suntec after dinner but i was a bit tired so we end up la kopi and read newspaper @ starbucks.. so relaxed.. tink i will hav a good nite slp today.. Zzzzzz....
