things that will stick in my mind...

...from this phuket trip...

  1. waking up @ the unearthly time of 4am to shower and change up...leaving the house @ 4.45 am to drive to tanamera to leave the car @ ray's place and getting to the airport @ 5.45am...COMPLETELY and UTTERLY stoned...
  2. 1st look at the budget terminal...surprisingly decent and at that early time, already fairly crowded...was quite pleasantly surprised at the stuff available within the waiting area...killiney kopitiam, 7-11, bookshop, several makan places and yes, there was still DFS! not too shabby, to be honest...
  3. arriving in phuket totally concussed
  4. PHULIN (hotel) was about 85% as nice as the pictures and really turned out to be rather great value for the money...
  5. the heat in phuket was intense...supposedly low season was rainy season....what rain??? frickin' scorching heat...
  6. cheap japanese eats...FUJI restaurant @ the very new CENTRAL FESTIVAL MALL offers solid jap food for about 50 to 60% of the price in singapore (comparatively speaking)...no prizes for guessing what we binged on...hahaha...
  7. some really fatass BBQ'd prawns...have never seen them that big before...holy chromoly crapshit! :O
  8. beautiful beach @ karon (where we stayed)...big waves...so big that them blardy waves took my new specs :(( fortunately i brought 2 pairs but still.....sigh...such a waste... =S

pictures hopefully will be up in the next couple of days...actually didn't have that much of a mood to take photos cos it was just so damned hot...will have to take some from the others...
