1st day of Phuket trip. Well, we hardly did anything. The sun was blasting hot. 50SPF of sunscreen is not enough. We just waited for Rey, Rais and Jeanne to came. Our hotel is not much like a hotel. Oh well, the video will show it all. Videos are under left hand page navigation under videos. So anyway, ate Thai food, walk a bit, and that's about it. Until nightfall. Cept Ica was planning activities for us to do for the next few days.
2nd day, we went for paintball. The red vs green team.
The red: me, Ica, Jeanne, Rach, Budi
The green: T, Han, Yog, Rai, Rey
See, it's a given who will win. But nah, the red won. 7-2. Haha, the game lasted for such a short period of time, but oh well. It was kinna fun.
Then we went back home and go for a swim at the beach. Played Frisbee.Got stunk by don't know small microscopic creature in the water. Pain all around. T said that the creature is super small and white. If you really strain your eyes you can see it. Then after, you check your bitten hands, you'll see tiny red spots. Dry blood. So creeps.
Ate Xmas dinner at the Buffalo steak house. We all shared food and drank red white. House pour, and it sux. Went back room and slept. While the others stay up and watched firework.
3rd day, Xmas day!
We went white water rafting. Fun! But not scary. Not must adventure. There was a part where i almost fall. My raft consist of T, Rais, me and Rey. And we all purposely sit as far away from the centre as possible. And true enough i almost back into the water. Haha, fun. Then the person in charge push me back up. I think seeing us all just teenagers, so the 2 person in charge kind of purposely make our boat super jumpy and scary. But it's not even scary. Maybe when we travel backwards. I guessed that was fun, coz we cannot see the rocks and hard edges, so anything can happened. When the boat suddenly rocked and jumped, we were shocked too with excitement.
Rais got pulled out of the raft and fell into the river. Haha, tried to do it to the rest of us, but failed. Hehe, the water was cold and they kept splashing it at us. Reminded me of dragon boating with friends.
The best part was the last. They purposely made us alight the raft not at the side of the exit, but in the middle of the water. Not the river, more at the bank, but still.. It's far away from the exit. If you watch the video carefully, in the background, at the left hand side, there will be us, falling on our ass and laughing. It was so fun. The river is not deep, but the bottom was filled with rocks and stones and pebbles and don't know what else. Small and big, it was so hard to get across. We had to held on to each other, and that we still fell. Fell back or face in first, whatever, we still fell. We still had a laugh.
The video man guy should have zoom in on us, coz that is when all the action and fun begin.
Then we see elephants. We learnt that there are 2 types of elephants. Males and females. Asian and African. For Asian, their ears are much smaller. And only the males have tusks. Then, we had Luckyboy as he is the only male elephant around and Ladyboy as (s)he is neither a male or female. Lol. Oh well, they 2 performed for us.
At night, we rest have massage for $10/hour. A super cheap rate. Since the hotel charge 40.
26th we went to phi phi island. This time we do not have to change form a mini bus to big bus. Only when we reached there, we were assigned to our group. We were in group family of 4. Our tour guide, i don't remember her name, she kept saying that we are her brother and sister. Then she will be saying the same thing bout the monkeys. So she is saying that we are monkeys.
Oh well, the speedboat ride was fun. Me and Rais, we sat out. The sun hot but the wind so cool, it made up for it. Only when the speedboat slow down, there is not much wind, then i can feel the sun ray. Either than that, bumpy boat rides, here i go.
The island is so nice, blue sea, clear sky. Snorkeling fun. Scary but fun. Too bad no one took a video of me in the water, or at least a picture. Oh well. It was so scary. Fishes nearby. I had to move my legs and hands to make sure the fish did not come near by, but they still did. Then we go again, to an island. There where we buried Hannes alive. Then time for lunch, sadly it was raining. The lunch place did not have a rain plan. So like the place is so dirty and just plain ew. Hardly ate, in the end we just sit in the boat and ate snacks. We bought like a lot of them and brought it with us. We finished in like 30 minutes. So crap.
Then, we went to Egg island. There we were supposed to snorkel for 2 hours. But it rained and stopped, it is just weird. Well, the beach was ok. The fishes alot. First i just went into the water without knowing there are fishes near by. Water only up to your knee, suddenly a school of fish just swam across. Then they just go around people. Damn creepy. So many fish. And even though the water is not clear, we still can see the fish super clear. They said the fish will not dare to go near you. Unless you feed them. So i avoid the crowd where the brought bread for the fishes. But still the fish swim all around. You are suppose to move around, so the fish will not go to you, ya right. When they go nearer i use my legs and hands to drive them away. Instead of swimming away in a direction, they swam in all direction and swam to me. I even felt them brushing through my leg. Oh damn, what a nightmare.
Quickly went out of the sea. But still in water, until ankle high there. There was like the tiny fish around which i would not even noticed if not for Budi. So, the smallest of fish are near the edge of the water. The bigger ones, a size a big as your hand are around the knee deep water. And the corals are deeper. But i don't dare to go in. At first they said just go in further less fish. Then Rais said, don't go in. The fish will bite you. I am not afraid of the bite. But in order for them to bite you is for them to go near you. EEee, creeps.
For Jeanne, a fish swam in front of her eyes. Only when the fish get closer to her, then she can see it. Then both of them was shocked. And the fish swam away scared. Lol. So cute.
For Reyner, he got scolding for scaring the fish away from a little girl.
Hannes saw angelfish. Dory fish. And Er.
Well, i am ready for clown fish and jellyfish, and even dory. Maybe turtle and starfish. But we do not have that, and it just freak me out. The fish are huge. But oh well. My leg is filled with brushes. Blue black and red spots everywhere. It hurts too.
If only the whole experience is us being with other people in other boat. Like for example family of 2 maybe. A bunch of hot cutie are there. One of the boys even remind us of Jacob from Twilight. Oh, hot. And they are our age, sort of. So put a bunch of kids together, we will definitely have a lot of fun.
Btw, it was the tsunami anniversary, that is why the tour guide said the God is crying. So we cannot be mad that our perfect day get cancel due to bad weather, but the rain kind of stop a while and in the end, so it was not that bad. Cept of coz we already changed into clean dry clothes when the sun came out again. Crap, next time i should not listen to other people, when my gut feeling tell me not to change.
At night. It's party time. It was our last night at Phuket. So we girls decided to go shopping. Well, usually i tried a few pair of sunglasses and most will fit me, and i can just buy them away. But this time, i tried almost everything, a lot looks good, but don't have the perfect one. So end up not buying, when among all of us, i am the one who need sunglasses the most. That's about it. Only have time to buy sunglasses. Kind of stupid huh. But oh well. Then, me and Rias we bought breezers. Damn that thing is nice. I love the lime flavour. And the lychee. Lemon, not so nice. It tasted exactly like minutemade thingie. Each bottle cost $2. So cheap right.
So back at our room, with Thailand pancakes and booze, we chat the night away.
Pancakes are the only food we got to eat. Other than that nothing. We never drink Thai iced tea, never eat the Thai glutton rice with mango. Not much traditional food. Pity. It is more of a trip to a beach. Oh well. The whole thing is kind of fun. Tried new things and we managed to catch up. It was all worth it.
Last day it was a wasted day, but oh well. There was hardly anthing we can do. And Ica forgot her phone on the plane. But lucky it was found by whoever. And she got it back. Then, on 29, off the go to Hongkong.
School is starting. :(
