Alas, back from my phuket trip.....touched down this afternoon at around 1pm after got delayed at Phuket due to the large number of passengers and only a number of limited counters..... a fun-filled trip nonetheless....
Day One......
Met up with Morgan, Munyi & Karen @ T1 to check in around 11am, made our way inside transit to have our breakfast as me & munyi have not eaten.... walked over to our gate around 12.35pm as our scheduled ETD was @ 1pm, not much passenger on board & took quite fast for the aircraft to finalised his clearance and while pushing back, stuck half way due technical.... most dreaded thing @ our course of work, aircraft technical...... waited around 10 plus mins before ready to taxi..... dep was at runway 02C which means a faster enroute path but slightly longer taxi distance.....
Reach Phuket at 2pm local time and made our way to Kata Country House, the place which we will be staying for the next 3 nights...... the place was like a chalet style..... not much amentities but it was good enuff for us though..... initially wanted Sugar Palm Resorts but it was full thus no choice as ours was quite last min...... walked along the stretch of shop houses before stopping @ morgan's favourite restaurant (Cafe Bagel), he was there with his gf 2 weeks ago...... nice food & friendly staff...... after dinner was off to one of their night market at town..... had some of their roadside makan to fill our ever hungry stomach or rather mine, (sweet corn, bbq sausage, mango glutinous rice.....nice) before gng back.....
Day Two......
Had a morning swim with morgan before meeting up with the girls for breakfast...... and it was relaxing moments for us @ Kata Beach..... had our time of swim, nap, playing cards & reading..... went to Central Festival during evening time before making our way to Patong to meet up with one of my managers, Chee Mun.... when we met up, saw Sze Xiong & Leslie too, they were together with Chee Mun.... they brought us for makan before gng for drinks..... had a good time having fun.....
Day Three......
Went to the beach after our breakfast again, had an oil massage by the beach..... not too bad, though at times it can get quite painful..... had pizza for lunch and went back to our 'chalet' to relax.... chee mun, sze xiong & leslie picked us by our chalet at evening time for fresh seafood by the seaside, the restaurant was by the sea and u could enjoy the sea breeze..... order a few dishes each time, chatting while enjoying the food and drinks...... total bill for the 11 dishes we had was only 1740 baht which was around SGD 75 plus for seven of us, it was so worthwhile........ was quite pai seh as they treated us dinner for two consecutive nights.... after which we went back Kata to have more massage, the gals took the foot massage while morgan had oil massage, mine was a so-called combo (neck, head , back & shoulder) massage..... this time, it was quite shiok as i almost dozed off during the process....... slpt @ 12plus before waking up in 7 hrs time for our breakfast & flight home.....
It will be back to work again tml after almost 10 days to rest...... re-energized and will be looking forward to my Taiwan trip in April =)
