Phuket Trip (15 to 19 Jan 07): Day 4 (BACKDATED!)

Best Picture of the Day!!!

0530 Hrs (Thai) - Wah Kaoz! Woke up damn early this morning because of the AWAP thingy program which my company wanted us to do (and I only get to know about it just the night before and I dun even know what AWAP stand for). In short, I only know it's some form of retreat thingy which my company decided last minutes to give it a try, so as to improve the work efficiencies of the staffs.




We started off with a short 10 minutes jog on the beach. Fortunately, yours truly had been 'secretly' training myself and as such, was able to stay ahead of the rest during the run. Heez. Following the running session, we actually gathered at the large space at the pavement and forming in a circle, we sat on the floor and sang a few of the company's songs.... (do you believe that? Dud? Luckily, it was very early then and so, there weren't much people around then). We even spent 30 minutes to do targets and goals setting and were required to share with the rest what we had came out with. After 30 minutes of idling on the beach and being bitten by the mosquito's, I have finally came up with the following:

GOALS AND DIRECTIONS FOR 2007

1. To work (Insurance) only on weekdays, leaving weekends for families and friends.

2. To have minimum 01 appointment in the daytime everyday! (Will approach boss to review on my target setting and feasibility).

3. Start afresh! By un-learning and re-learning again.

4. To exercise daily and cut down on food intakes. Aimed to achieve a body weight and maintaining it at less than 85 kg!! (Currently at 110 kg!)

5. Start saving for my future!!

WHAT WENT WRONG LAST YEAR?!?

1 - Depression! Personal problems, lost my motivation on work(Insurance).

REASONS FOR SETTING THE GOALS

1. For my families, my friends and perhaps my future loved ones.

2. To improve on self image and confidence.

3. To proof to family and friends that I can do it.

12oo hrs (Thai) - As usual again, we had our lunch at Sabai Sabai and ordered the usual fried rice! Yes, again... duh?!? Cos it's the CHEAPEST even thou it was really good!!! I actually wanted to order the western food - Burger set cos the serving looked so much appealing. But because the rest of the guys all ordered fried rices, I did the same cos I was afraid they will tease me. Heez. Take it as dieting loh... I comforted myself...

After lunch, we headed straight to the beach with only 5 of us, Swee Seng, Clemence, You Keat, Rene and Me. The rest wanted to go swim while I had other intentions... i.e. To sun tan... And bum at the beach... And enjoy the sea views... And topless babes!!! Muahahaha! After walking to and fro on the beach searching for the best spot and QC-ing the babes and boobies sighting (mostly from the fat, the old and the uglies! Keke.) We finally found our perfect spot which we taught the women around the spot were more 'presentable'. Lol.

While the rest were swimming, I stayed put on the beach to look after their belongings. Of course, my 'other' agenda was to ogle at naked women walking by and I was most fortunate to find a bench where just metres away was a woman tanning on the beach with her back up. She was reading a book and I could tell she had quite a big.. err.. Jugs. Keke... After the rest came back from the swim, we slacked and cooled down for awhile before You Keat finally decided to go for the Para-Surfing which cost 700 baht. I offered to take pictures for him while Swee Seng would get to stayed up on the speed boat to take pictures for him. Being the last day at Phuket, I finally managed to gather enough courage to take some careful shots of the beach... And the naked women as well. Hee hee...

It was nearly 6 pm local time we went back to the resort, we took a quick bath and meet the rest for dinner at a different restaurant! Finally, a change of place! haha. Unfortunately, dinner was only so- so and the services sucked!!! The waiter actually forgotten my order!!! Argghh... so by the time my dinner (Fried rice again!) comes, everyone's had already finished their! Wah lau! Stress, man! Anyway, we chilled out at the resort's pub called 'THE PORT' where they played live bands. It was then that Swee Seng realized that he had lost his HP. OMG!!

Recovering the HP was impossible as we tried going back to the restaurant and even asked the resort management if any HP were found. By then, the mini-buses supposing to send us to the airport had arrived. Fortunately, Swee Seng had brought his travel insurance from Kelvin and he was told that he could made a police report and made a claim on the lost! See... Who say travel insurance is waste of money. Heez. I shall use this incident as my selling strategy in future when selling insurance. Too bad I dun sell travel insurance.

Anyway, the police report only took us 10 minutes and by the time we reached the airport, It was already 10 plus. We brought the 1 1/2 hrs flight at 12 MN and reaches Singapore at 1.30 in the morning. Finally!!! I'm back!! Muack! Muack! Muack!

Your Truly!!

Phuket Trip (15 to 19 Jan 07): Day 3 (BACKDATED!)

Day 3 at Phuket

0700 hrs (Thai) - Went for an early jog again followed by swimming at the pool. I was quite surprised that I even managed to wake up so early despite what I had went through last nite! After the usual massage at the Jacuzzi pool, I headed for breakfast. Again... I had a heavy breakfast thinking that I could skip my lunch and save up some money... or that was what I thought.

1200 Hrs (Thai) - Went lunch with the guys at Sabai Sabai Restaurant... Again!!!! As usual, we ordered fried rices and I ordered the same as yesterday except that it's pork. Signz... Seriously, I'm starting to get bored with the food but no much of a choice as it's the cheapest! Cheap skates siaoz! Afterwhich, we walked awhile before heading back to the resort. With nothing and no program in the afternoon, I decided to take a nap while Swee Seng went to play Mah Jong at one of the room. Yawn...yawn...

1500 Hrs (Thai) - Woke up from a nice sleep and still bored. Decided to go join the rest at Room 1414. Woo.. the room were full of people with 4 already battling out on the mah jong table. The rest were watching TV on the bed. Haha... On closer look, I realised they had bought the mini-majong set. The tiles are so small! So cute! Maybe I should get a set when I go back to Singapore. Mah Jong is kinda fun actually especially when you're winning! Wahahaha... The Mah Jong ended an hour later which they decided to go to the beach.

Being sun tanning for the last few days, I'm actually beginning to peels and thus din join them for the swim at the beach but just stayed on the beach and rented a bench at 80 baht. And I so glad that i came along as I was having an eye feast of tits of various sizes and colors. Unfortunately, the same could not be said to some of the women who bares their boobies!! Reminds me of Martin's 'Big Momma' movie. keke... Nonetheless, besides the babes, there were also a fair shares of hunks at the beach... hmm.. I think I'm turning gay. I'm actually find the hunks attractive and sexy!! All Steph's fault!!!! Hahaha...

Anyway, I returned back to the hotel and took a nap again and only waking up around 7 pm where I decided not to join the rest for dinner and wondered off myself on the streets in search for the 'Beef Noodles' which I had craving for since day 1. Just after 10 min, the sky start raining. and I'm forced to seek shelter at the Subway restaurant! Only manged to buy some street's food after the rain. unfortunately, I think I bought too much and could barely finishes them. Guess, I'm going to put on weight afterall...

After dinner, I decided to take a shower and soak in the bath tub and relax. The bathe was nice and relaxing! Felt so relax. I even had a visit from my five little friends who have not been visiting me for days and we played for a very very long time! Hee hee...

Shower Boy!

Phuket Trip (15 to 19 Jan 07): Day 2 (BACKDATED!)

Phuket Trip Day 2 (16 Jan 07)

0600 hrs (Thai) - Woke up early this morning to go jogging. keke... For some reasons, I always like to go running when I'm overseas. Hee. Must be siaoz! (crazy) Taking my camera along, there weren't much interesting thing to take with, I realised. Infact all the shops weren't opened yet and there were must people on the streets except for occasionally passing by bikes and foriegn joggers like myself. Boring.... but the air is nice and cooling!

1100 hrs (Thai) - Went breakfast with Swee Seng. Breakfast wasn't that fanciful but still ok loh. the bacons especially were too tough and not crispy enough. Fortunately, I like their porridge very much! I make sure i had one bowl every morning! Haha... yummy! Kelvin and Edna came and joined us at our table, followed by Clemence and You Keat.

The Thai fruits are quite different from our locals ones. Especially the pineapples and papaya. The pineapple are very sweet and sour at the same time. I like it very much! And I love papaya too. Good for our bodies and help me pass motions every morning as well. keke... thou the last part is not worth mentioning. paiseh paiseh...

1130 hrs (Thai) - After breakfast, the gang went for a swim at the resort pool and to get some tan. Rene came and joined us for a while followed by Gary and Rozanna. Of course there were times when we can't help but oogle at some of the ang mo babes who came and dipped in the pool or sun tanning at the benches. heehee... boys will be boys...

1300 hrs (Thai) - We had lunch at this nice small Japanese Restaurant called Zen! A 10 min walk from our resort. I ordered an Udon for myself (see pic. Nice and delicious, ya?) Ohhh...! (Hand covering my mouth like seen in Japan Hours) Oiishi ne!!! haha... The Udon is served with generous amount of chicken meats, 2 tempura prawns and even 2 or 3 slides of fish!! Very delicious, and the price is very cheap!!! Costed only 170 Baht!. But eventually, I din have to pay for my meal cos all the bills was footed by Rene!! His treats, he said!! Yeah!!! Free lunch!!! Woohoo.....!

1700 hrs (Thai) - Just woke up from a good afternoon and lazy sleep! Feel so shio!!! keke... Thought of going to the beach to get some tan. I remembered Roz and Gary were planning to go there. however, as soon as i stepped out of the resprt, the sky was turning grey and heavy winds were gushing. Decided to turn around and walk around the streets. Came across a stall selling steamed or BBQ corn. Bought one at 30 baht!.. hmm.. not bad. It quite yummy too with butter and some salts added. Sad to say, I have been eating alot of the local's funk foods! I hope I wun go back with some extra pounds. hoho...

2100 hrs (Thai) - After dinner, I had a can of Tiger with Gary and Roz by the pool, we sat at the bar counter which was already closed for the day and had our feets dipped in the cool water. Nice! Being just a social and non-beer drinker, I could barely managed to finish up my can of Tiger. Not long after, we decided to head to uncle Jeff's room for another round of celebration which Rene had called us up and invited us over. I regretted it the moment I stepped into the room as there was a glass of whisky waiting for me from uncle Jeff, the content were quite strong too as I saw the 3 bottles of Whisky on the table. I drank up the 1st glass and the 2nd was waiting for me again... OMG!!! Somebody save me!!!

After god knows how many gulps of alcohol I had drank down, I started to loosen up and turned red. (Yup, I'm getting high! hips...!) Infact, most of us were with exception of a few who are still standing and able, some were clearly turning into lobsters and were thinking of escapes like myself. haha. But we all enjoyed ourselves on the snacks and drinks. Uncle Jeff sure knows how to throw a party loh. Most of us who only know him for 01 day got to know him much better after that night. Haha. Thanks! Uncle Jeff!!

2300 hrs (Thai) - After 4 or 5 cups of strong whisky/verban coke, I was a goner! (<--- see pic! Heez.) Damn red loh! Infact, I was very high. By then, we all wanted to go for our next activity which is to see the night life here, and to visit some of the 'sleazy' Pubs! Dun look at me like tat! It's not my idea loh! It's Clemence and Swee Seng's ideas. I'm drunk remember? Heehee... But I dun mind following anyway! Fortunately, I'm glad to say that I did the right thing to join the guys else, I would missed many interesting things.

So, Clemence, Gary, Swee Seng, Rene and myself continued on our next itinerary of the day! Along the way, we came across some 'Ah Kwas' dancing in a pub. They look kinda 'chio' when they dun talk. Anyway, we visited this Pub named 'Erotica'. In the middle of the what used to be a dance floor, is a small stage for the girls to perform on. These girls were mostly scandally dressed but not exposing any of their vital parts. (too bad phototaking are not allowed). The girls in groups of 3 or more would performance on the stages everytime a songs is played the there is actually some themes. The gals would dressed up according to the theme and do their erotics performance on the stages. Not bad actually. I meant the performance. and of course the performers on their performance. Heehee... Eventually, we stayed at the Pub till 3 am!

One night in Phuket?!?

Phuket Trip (15 to 19 Jan 07): Day 1

PHUKET - PATONG TOWN

Followed the company on a holiday trip to Phuket - Thailand. We departed the Budgeted Airport (SG) in the early morning and arrived at the BanThai Beach Resort (THAI) at 0720 hrs local time. As we were early and can't check in till 12 noon. Fortunately, the resort management was kind enough to let us have a room first to put our stuff! And the room was quite big and spacious with a view to kill.

At noon, Sara showed and brought all of us to this nice little restaurant - Sabai Sabai, which is just 5 min away from the resort. Being only the first day there, I did not know what was good and as such only ordered what's cheapest! Keke... I ordered Thai fried Rice for myself even shared a bowl of Tom Yum Soup with Clemence. Afterall, these are some of Thai must have delicacies. Yummy! And I only had to pay 115 Baht for my meals.

After a hearty meal, we went for a stroll around the neighbourhood. I never know there were so many Ang Mos there! By looking at their attires, I know some are purely there for the holiday, while others seem to be working there. Hmm... not an bad idea actually. I dun mind throwing everything behind and come here to work in a beach resort. I'm afterall a beach bummer anyway. Lol. We came across many shops that sell imitation goods. One can buy a 'branded' goods eg. An Polo Ralph Tee at as cheap as $200 baht! (ard S$8!!! ) Very low price!!! Other goods includes LV bags, Billabong's and Quicksilver cloth wears. Of course the prices were all marked up at least in double folds. One must really know how to slash price so as not to become a 'carrot head'. Haha...

By evening time, Swee Seng and Clemence had decided to try out the Thai massage. They were told they could have good services for 2 hrs at only 500 baht (S$20). Very cheap loh! As for me, I wanted them to go try first and come back to tell me if the place's good. If good, I'll go on my last day! keke... On my way back to the resort, I bought some roadside foods for my dinner and ate them while walking around in t he streets. Yummy... the food not half bad actually. Think I'll come and patronise the stalls again tomorrow night! Anyway, I remembered seeing this lady in the afternoon during lunch, selling beef noodles on her small bike stall. The noodle looked good and the serving was generous. However, round and round the streets I had walked, I filed to find her stall. Oh well, guess I'll try my luck again tomorrow...

After a long day of walking, I was getting bored and tired. Since I'll be alone until Swee Seng come back, I thought I'll take up the bath tub for myself!. Heez. In fact. I would always do this whenever I go overseas or stays in a hotel. Afterall, the water's free!!! When the water was ready, I was a bit purturbed as the water were not clear but yellowish... Eeeekkkk! But seen I'll be bathing with this water for the next couple of days, I thought just fcuk it then and got into the tub and soaked my tiring body for almost 30 mins until the water turn cold. Hmmm... nice!!
