woke up at 7am and breakfast at (s)7.45am, set off at 8.30am. At abt 11am we passed the Thai custom and got into Malaysia. We stopped at the nearest petrol station for the bikers to top-up and finally we took grp pic, too bad uncle jo and kangkong left earlier. Something funny happen, which is William's pants tore. Luckily it's on the way back to Sg alrdy..hehe..

11.30am set off again, heading to Sungai Juru(12.50pm), then to Sungai Perak, then to Tapah(2.50pm). Reached Denkil again at 4.30pm, left at 5pm to Pagoh(6.20pm). Left at 6.35pm for Gelang Pata(JB - 7.30pm). We passed the Malaysia custom at abt 8pm and then SG custom at 8.10pm. Then we headed to maxwell for dinner and i reached home at abt 10pm.

I had an enjoyable and exciting trip :)

My uncle driving skill is gd, plus the car is comfortable, thus i don get my car-sick, expensive car, that's why..hehe..

I like e Krabi Resort and the Millenium Hotel. They are so new and nice and comfortable, i like the style. I wanna my house next time to have the resort feel, so relaxing :)

As for today, back to work as per normal and the weather is really humid. Also, i don't like my skin now, coz it's kinda dark, feels so weird looking at my hands, juz feel the colour is so weird..hahaha..hope the skin don peel, coz i feel a little itchy on the tanned area =p

Back to blog again:

13.04.09 (Mon)
It's Thailand's New Year - SongKran Festival.
After breakfast, we went for a short car ride around the beach to check out the condition and back to lobby at (s)11am to meet the gang to start the "war". We walked all the way to our war zone - patong bay garden resort. By this time, i'm alrdy quite wet and powdered with the blessings. Uncle Jo and Poh keep spraying at us. Overall it's fun, but not as fun as the previous yr we came. There's really lesser ppl around here, i tink it's really coz of the economy crisis, ppl wnt wan to take such a long leave, afraid that they might lose their job. Hope next yr would be a better yr :)

We start walking back to hotel at about (s)2pm, and back to take a shower. We don wan to get out to get wet again, so we went to the shopping centre subway cafe to use the internet for 1hr. After that continue to shop again. We also went to the supermarket and rina bought dog treats for the dogs, so cute. I tink the dogs will find the treats taste kinda weird - with thai flavorings..hehe..

(Thai)7pm down to meet my uncle for dinner at MK restaurant - steamboat, then back to shopping for us again before we end the day.

14.04.09 (Tue)
Woke up at (s)7am, (thai)6am in the morning, shower and down for breakfast and get ready to set off. This time round, we wnt stop and rest at Krabi but all the way to Hat Yai, but we still have a few pit-stops. At abt 2pm, we stop at some highway place with this little shop selling food and went all the way back to Hat Yai.

After checking in at abt (s)4pm, we went the the mountain area for the 4 face Buddha and back to hotel. No other plans, so we decided to go down for foot massage again, this time round we took 1 hr - nice :)

(Thai)7pm again, we meet for dinner, heading to the town area - Odean, coz the place is really so dead as it's holiday for them, only the town area is more lively. And after dinner is time for internet and the day ends at abt 11pm.

Will be heading back to S'pore tml morning, probably will reach S'pore at abt 8 or 9pm, it's abt 880km ride. Will post picture when i'm back.

Ciao~

Greetings from Patong Beach, Phuket.

Our destination was starting from Krabi and drove all the way up to Phuket here with abt 1 or 2 stops. We reached Millenium Hotel at abt 1.20pm, checked in and went to subway for our lunch. After lunch, we walked around before we collect the VIP package for the Phuket Bike Week 2009. At about 5.45pm, we gather everyone and went for the Phuket Bike Week Dinner at Tai Nan Restaurant. We were there early, so we went over to the shopping centre on the opposite side "Central" to walk around. And back to the restaurant again at 7.30pm. There isn't much bikes exhibiting this yr and the ppl attending the dinner were also quite little. Back to hotel room at abt 11.10pm and that's all for the day

12.04.09 (Sun)
9am - breakfast which was much better than the previous days and we were waiting for time to go for ATV ride. So both of us went to the beach for a short walk and we got spray alittle alrdy as the actual day should be 13/04.

The ATV adventure ride was fun, though i nearly went into the bush, but i managed to stop in time. To clarify - i was trying to avoid knocking the person infront of me, that's why i turn away. We ride all the way into some mountain area and it's really super uneven, but it's an exciting ride. Back down the slopes were kinda scary, coz it's really quite steep. Luckily i got 1 person to help me after he saw me kinda lose control..haha..it's really a fun ride.

After that we go have a bite and back for a shower and down again for shopping, this time i really got something i like, a shoe, a shirt and a bag + some tidbits. After shopping, we rush back to room to put down our stuff and meet them for dinner at (thai)6pm. We had dinner at Mr Good's Restaurant by van so we din get wet as the "water-war" has alrdy started. After dinner we tot we'd walk a long way, but it's just abt 5mins walk so we din get wet :)

Rina and me went down to shop again, den at abt 9.30pm we went for foot massage, it's nice and relaxing ^^ The day ends at abt (s)12.20am

To be continued in another post :)
The day is still young..

Booked out at abt 9.30am and gather everyone and set off at 9.50am. Heading to our 1st pit-stop - Trang, where we have to pass by Phattalung. 11.34am to 11.52am, we had some lays tibits which are of totally different from s'pore.

Next, we are heading down to Krabi, reached at abt 1.40pm. We kind of lost our way at 2pm when we were trying to find our resort and we landed in some mountainers area. GPS does help and we reached Krabi Resort at abt 2.50pm, checked in and went to "The Boat" Restaurant for our lunch. Got back at our room at 4.15pm..rest awhile and out at abt 6pm to use the internet. It's 100baht for 30 mins, ytd was 50 baht for 1 hr. Different places charge differently.

It's a new and nice resort, but nth for us to shop, coz we are kind of away from town. Probably after dinner we cnt get to town or somehwere to see see, look look.

I shall stop here now.
And my hp is left at home -.-

08.04.09 - 09.04.09
Reporting to S'pore from Thailand.
All of us are fine from the 9-10 hrs ride.

My unlce came to fetch me at abt 10plus and we passed the custom and meet the bikers at Gelang Pata, somewhere in JB. That's our heading poin and we set of at 11.30pm for our 1st pit-stop - Pagoh. We reached there at abt 12.50am and leave agin at 1am for 2nd pit-stop - Denkail (2.20am). Here, we wanted to go toilet and we saw cockroach!! It just woke us up..hehe..den we left at 2.30am for 3rd stop - Tapah (3.52am). Here, we had our breakfast. We ate muffins and left at 4.20am. We reached our 4th stop at semmanggol and reached at 5.40am. This time, rina and me was like in our dreamland. I only know that it was raining quite heavily. Leaving at 6am heading to our last pit-stop - Gurun. reaching at 7.20am. This was the horrifying place!! We saw so many insects, so much that you can't count. It's like the whole toilet plus the outside, all are filled with them!!.

That was all the jorney that we had to pass through before we can clear the Malaysia custom. Most of the time, we were either looking at how the cars drive and the bikers riding ahead of us. And also, how fast they really go. The minimium speed is like 140km/h and the fastest should be 180km/h bah. It's like the car is flying?? That's make me fine from the ride i think :)

We clear Malaysia custom at 8.15am and a short distance to Thailand borders at abt S9am and (thai)8am. Heading to 'hai Yai' and reach our hotel JB. and we went out for a short brunch and book to hotel to slp.

Out we go at abt 5pm again for dinner and shopping. That's all for now..bye bye :)

I'm leaving sg for about a week
and i'll be travelling by car to thailand.
Everyone's expression will be like "huh?"
I'm also one who is quite puzzled on how to travel by car to thai.
And now, i've got a chance to experience it.
Probably i gonna suffer, but is worth it, isn't it??
This can be considered an adventurous travel to me.
Maybe the only time =p
hahaha..

Anyway, i've prepared for the "war".
Sour Plum - checked
Plastic Bags - checked
Medications - checked
Luggage - checked
Passport - checked

Reminder for myself:
I tink i'm almost done, but still need to do some last min packing.
Gonna finish some important work.
Leaving work at 6pm.
Rush to do errands and be home by 7.30pm lastest
and by 8pm ready to go :)

Nobody can actually see what you've been carrying with you, unless you open up to them.
It may look light to others, but it is actually quite heavy.
And,
i feel it's the same theory as what you've been going through in life.

All i want to do now,
is to face all my responsibilities and challenges that's coming in.
I have to believe that i can do it.
It would make people around me happier.
That's what makes me happy.
Sacrificing to make someone happy also makes me happy too.

Anyway, life been ok.
Still learning in progress.
I really think i'm blessed.

Sara & me finished an ad for our company for
expatliving May issue.
Satisfied :)

I am happy also,
cause i got back in contact with a special person i know from young.
It's a unexplainable feeling, i just duno how 2 describe.

I don't know if it's true,
cause it seems alittle unreal.
However, it makes me smile indeed.

1 more week to plastic bag days!!! =p
