Chapter 1 What We Did in Phuket

To realized that Phuket is actually not romantic at all, for budget traveller like us. Fine, maybe I am the only one thought that Phuket is a romantic gateway boo. And fine, maybe budget does not come with romantic. So a friendly reminder to whoever that are going for a romantic vacation, kindly drop the word budget for that few days and just purchase the most expansive honeymoon package and enjoy!

I don't want to say Phuket is beautiful, because I think Bali is much more exotic. But anyhow, I did had fun lar during this trip, thanks to all my travel+hometown kakis. Without you all, the trip could be a dull one. Hugs.

I am not going to blog this trip as the way I blog in Bali trip, simply because I am lazy to review everything. So, just some highlights or more like photo blogging k :)So, here you go on what we did in phuket

1. To found out most of the streets in Patong Beach looked like Petaling Street selling the same less than B-class imitation of branded purses, bags, sandals, t-shirts and even underwears. Nothing too interesting except for some funky printed t-shirt for souvenir.

2. To tried coconut milkshake which tasted only so-so because the one selling at my hometown pasar malam is 5 times better, and also 3 times cheaper with extra ice cream sumore

3. Shop like crazy in their Family Mart(some sort of 7-11 lar). Nothing is cheap in Phuket except those stuffs in their Family Mart. 1265 Baht well spent, on junk foods, sparkling juices and beer. All in less than 5 minutes. Tell me how frequent you get to grab packs of every flavour of Lay's chips at RM3 per pack and where you can get sparkling juice that contained 6.5% alcohol that has a pricetag of RM3. OMGWTFBBQ I so wanna shop in Family Mart again. I want Lay's, Seaweed, Hotdogs, Instant Cup Noodle, SPY, candies, golla, Chocolates and keep saying "CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP, BUY BUY BUY"

Miss Chong, your eyes were closed again



Oi,what are you all doing here?!

4. To only realized that we forgot to drop by at Hard Rock Phuket for a photo on the transfer back to HKT airport. Bodo -.-"

5. To bargain, bargain bargain at so many tour agencies, but still never get the lowest price fml. Now, I tell you bargaining for the same stuff over and over again and again is tiring! I kid you not!

6. To wait for other boatmate(s) who woke up late duh! Don't got conned by the shinny bright sun, it was raining outside actually hence, a teribbly bumpy boat all the way to island tour. So bumpy that water kept splashing to your face that make you ENTIRELY wet before you reach the destination. Chi Kek not? Oh, also to watch in pleasure people puking over seasick because you know you won't puke because you had cleverly popped a pill before the ride. Hahaha.

7. To pay Rm170 for Fantasea Show and get to dine in this 5 stars looking hall, with 2 stars choices of food along with canteen seat arrangement.

8. To stop at this shop, just to snap a photo and show it off to Malaysia friend!

9. To get foot massaged at a crappy place, where this two lucky guys got Special Service. Haha, special service as in being massaged on the bed instead of the normal sofa lar. Get out of your dirty mind k :p

10. To supper outdoor styled at this pizza chain while watching Tiger/Gigolo walking around Bangla Street. Observing and giggling lol.

11. To play spot the monkey at Monkey Beach and getting "Today is Monkey Off day" wtf

12. To show off some fat cleavage to attract good looking men Hahah!

13. To only spend 1 hour including a lunch break at this beautiful Phi Phi Island on this so-called Phi Phi Island One day Trip. Sigh. I should call this Pee Pee Island because this is the place I peed, after holding it for few hours omg. Now, do you know that it was impossible for you to pee in the sea, because that the pressure of your bladder is lower than the pressure of the seawater? Tried and tested!

14. Being kiamsiap to only rent an umbrella for 9 person at Khai Island. And again to hold pee pee because a toilet entrance is 30Baht. Rm3 for a pee ler, siao meh!

15. To wear a busuk helmet for the sake of safety. To think back, I need to thank this helmet, because without them I am already in coma. Without them, yours truly might be laying on the hospital bed for a month due to brain injuries. Yalar, I fall off of the raft and got knocked on some rocks and I was saved and pulled onto another raft. So mempersiasoikan! But but but white river rafting was very very exciting and thrilling to the maximum! Lets do again wey...

16. To buy instant mee at Carrefour at RM3 for 5 packs. Sedap sedap!Why Malaysia not selling this ler?!

So, I guess that summarize the so so Phuket Trip. Total damages:-

Flight Ticket and Hotel, RM434
Phi Phi Island Tour, RM125
Fantasea Show, RM170
White Water Rafting, RM90
Massages, RM20 + RM60
Tiger Show, RM50
Others, RM310(Exchange another RM25 in Phuket)
Total : RM1260

A graduation like trip after 7 years definitely PRICELESS!!!!!!

Bali Trip Day 4

Today is(read as past tense) Beach Day. Hoorayyssss. Now flash back first k :p
Day 1: Kuta night
Day 2: Kintamani Volcano
Day 3: Bedugul & Tanah Lot
Now, Day 4 for BEACHESSSSSS and topless hunks but cant get any, how come?


Today tour started a little late, because we wanted to watch surfing competition at Kuta Beach. So, we asked our driver to come to pick us at 11am at the Mc Donald near Kuta Beach. The girls shop hopping(again?) all the way to Kuta Beach while the 3 guy talked about "3 kingdoms" lol, nola they just walk walk and see see. So 2 kilometres routes took like an hours (because the gals cant help by visiting all the shops) to Kuta Beach(ok,it's before we reached the beach because the driver bumped into us midway to beach) and to our dissapointment the surfing competition had ended. Sorry for the guys. I admit we were late because I am the last person to came for breakfast because I went swimming in the morning :p Anyway, mood not spoiled because this competition was not in our itinerary.



Off we got into van and started our Beach Day. After less than an hour ride, we were brought to Tanjong Benoa. Yeah! clear beach with lots of small tank around. If you havent know, Tanjong Benoa is a beach which offers variety of water sports which I believed is to cater European by the way they quote the pricing in USD. Guess what, a trip of banana boat costs around USD10, gila sial tak betul, we got it in our Port Dickson without bargaining at RM10 ok. We walked away to another shop which offer a lower rate, but still I cant believe a trip of banana boat is the same price with parasailing-.- After some discussion, we all decided to try on parasailing because none of us experience this before. Put on the safety jacket, we were more than ready to go after a short briefing. It was funny that the guide was trying to brief to us in Mandarin, while we replied in BM lols... None of us volunteered to be the first, so we pushed Alex to be the white mice for the para-lab-sailing, what a gentle treatment for gentleman like Alex HAHA

Preparation for parasailing. Eh Red? Blue? huh?



Briefing on parasailing, Oi Alex!



O Hai, it's me!


How relaxing...

Ooooohhhhh, the bird eye view of the coast of Bali was so breathtaking. For a second, I wish I am a bird. Happy time ends fastest, a parasailing trip was only briefly 5 minutes at most. But it worth every cents of it. That was not enough for me, so I suggested to try Flying Fish, this one was even more thrilling because it was so bumpy all the way and with a leading scream from the guide, we were off the water flying backward, 100% syok. But the damage was lagi syok. Total Rp 250,000 approx to RM100 for a few minute . Sigh.

Me and driver Wayan at Tanjong Benoa, he is only 18 years old omg

Again I want to promote our driver jus because he was so kind to borrow us umbrellas wtf. He even helped me to carried my backpack and handbags for ah yau. It was freaking hot, and walking like 1km to Blow Point may kill all of us if we were without umbrellas (ok, I am exaggerating). But good things does not come easy. Blow Point was another Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa moment for us :)

Nusa Dua Beach



Sun, sea, sand I*hearts


Blow Point, bubbles after the wave hit on the rock



Blow point, the crystal clear water



Skies I love


Nusa Dua private Beach, group photo

It was actually the time for us to leave Nusa Dua Beach but what is a beach trip without picnic? So, we traded off another attraction spot(Dreamland) to chill here. We thought of renting a mat, before the lady seller offered to lend us some mats provided we buy some drinks from her. So, we thought why not? Howewer, we were being careful not to be overcharged by asking the price of every item before we pay. The price was reasonable enough I can say, Bintang beer was only Rp12,000 which we got at Rp28,000 from the seafood restaurant the night before. Hmm, another honest Balinese :)

Ohh, that was before my apple green umbrella was paralysed because i used it to scope sea water to pour Hanni and ah yau ;-( May you rest in peace at the beach of Nusa Dua *sobs. And dont ask me why I bring along my umbrella to soak in sea water. :p

Picnic Time: chips,peanuts and Bintang beer soft drink



Ugly-ly DRUNK tanned

Big ass rocks(no pun intended)
