Krabi Trip ( Day 4 and 5)

Actually i am typing this post a second time. Something happen to my computer and the window close by itself so my half written journey say, " bye bye" to me after i click the," End now" button.

Updates on my fourth and most exciting day of the Trip!!!

The 4th day in Krabi, 30 sep 07'
30 Sep 07, we waited at the hotel lobby at 9am as we have signed up a day tour to visit the islands around Krabi.. As usual, the tour came swee swee on time to fetch us to the departure beach.. Reach the beach in only 10 mins but we were kept waited for 1/2 an hour as some of the people from another van have not arrived yet..


To Tmm: got my face liao...


The departure area..

Soon all arrived, and we make our move to the speedboat.. Our tour group consists of a Portsland family, some Malaysians and we, the Singaporeans.


The Malaysians brought some coconuts amd some drink on board...


Sitting on the speedboat, anticipating to move off..

Finally... We set off... Here we go....


We took 40mins to arrive at the first island.. The BAMBOO ISLAND..


We stayed at the Bamboo Island for "a little" snokelling.. And i meant "a little" which last for only 30 mins.. We were provided a snokelling goggles that look like that...



We continued and stop in another island.. I forget the name.. we travelled to around 6 islands.. But we did not drop in every island..

We stopped near the coast and started doing snokelling... It was Kool!!! I see fishes swiming around me.. At a moment, I was imagining to be the little mermaid.., " Under The Sea... Under The Sea.... Laa laa laaa"




Snokelling...


Feeding the Tiger fishes...


In another island.. These people are looking for birdnest... They are real birdnest.. Tout of getting a few back but the tour guide won't allow us to go down even thought we tried using a coconut to bride her.. Haiz..


Beautiful...


We were entering to the most promising island.. The Maya beach!! The beach where Leonardo shot his movie, " The Beach" in 2000..

And so, this is the Maya beach..........
..........
.......
.....
..
.

Not as promising as we heard...






But the view is still not bad...

Then, it started to rain... Suay... We ran into the speedboat and continued our journey.. A bad choice.. A bad idea..

Soon, it was raining so heavily that we can't see any island or things around us.. We got lost in the middle of the sea.. The portsland lady started to felt sea sick and started to vomit out to the sea.. A wise choice indeed.. Then followed by one of the Malaysia guy.. Haha.. I could say that Singaporens are a better choice to be a sailors..Becos non of us vomitted!!! Haha.. Alrights... we were all seriously drenched thru out.. From head to toe..

Finally the rain has cooled down due to my prayers... Haha.. We spotted the island and started with full speed... All of us was like, " Yahooooo..." and waiting for our lunch to be served..

Phi Phi Island... We had our lunch there.. The food... Um... ok only.. No comments..


We continued our ride to the open seas even its still drizzling... And we were encourged to snokel again!!! All of us lost our mood due to the rain.. And only the Ang mos and one of my friend went for snokelling..

After that, we head back to Ao nang.. At that instant.. Our only desire is to be back in our cosy hotel rooms...

But we heard that we need another 40 mins to arrive the beach.. OMG!!! We all became quiet and silent on the journey back as the rain hit hard on our faces due to the speed of the boat..

We arrive wet at the beach and was drove to the hotel.. We bathe and took a nap before going for dinner...

After dinner i bought this potato chip in the supermarket as i don't see this favor selling in Singapore..

It cost me 60 Bhatt.. around SGD 2.70.. Very expensive i find.. Don't worth the price..

Then i bought this Sunglass @ 250 bhatt..


Now we need a model...

Suitable for outdoor looks.. TMM Style..


Suitable for the cool look.. XMM and Amber Style..


The on the head Look.. Gis Style..

I got hooked on the camera and started snapping nonsense..


My mousey look to go with my daughter..


" Mama.. I am all ready to leave.."

So familiar rite.. Like Amber's cookie... Haha.. finally she slept in that posture the whole night as she was so excited to go home...

The last Day in Krabi, 1 Oct 07'
Our flight back to Singapore is at 7.20pm so we book a cab ready to drive us to Airport at 4pm.. we slept till 12 plus since its the last day and have our breakfast outside as, " BIRD OF THE PARADISE" close after 10am..


we sat in these to have our breakfast..


My breakfast.. Cheese, ham , prawns and herd cream wrapped in egg omeleete.. Yummy.. Nice but very "ni" after eating too much...

7.20pm..
Goodbye Krabi.. Here i come Singapore!!!

Piss Pissssssss

I am so piss off..
I am so piss off...

1)I am super piss off with my company's computer.. Its so damn slow.. I wonder if it could get any slower.. It took around 10 sec to load one page.. Can you believe it!!

3) I am so piss off by my forgetfulness.. I was holding onto my Ezlink card while awaiting for the bus this morning when a Ah soh approach to ask for a dollar change.. I took out my coin purse out and realise i have no enuff to exchange with her so i apologise as she walks away.. After a while, i realise the Ezlink card is no longer in my hands.. Shit!!

Could i have drop it while i take my purse?
Could i have put back into my bag?
Or perhaps, in the first place i haven't been holding to my card at all!

I really don know when the card slip off my hands! I don believe the Ah Soh have taken the card either.. I've looked everywhere and is no where to be found..So where on earth have i placed it?

I am so angry with myself on the journey to work..
I refuse to give in to the excuses I have made..

The Ezlink card has a 20 over dollar value in it!!

2) I realise that there's a piggy in my house!! I am not accusing but its true..

The school holidays are long but she got her job only recently. Because she's busy online MSNing her friends and too lazy to find a job..

She complains that she have no money to pay her hp bills but she got money to eat Sakae Sushi and Swensens..

SCV and Internet broadbank at home are paid by my brother and Lao Niang, so i just ask to use the internet after work for a day or two but that is not possible.. Because that piggy have been chasing and yelling like she's the one paying for it!!
Come' on.. Its not that i don't allow you to use.. Just give me moments of peace when i am using it lah...

Everyday you be finding this piggy online MSNing/MAPLEing, in front of the TV or talking so louding on the phone like no body business..

* Note to Piggy : This post is just delicated to you.. So pls read carefully and pls take note..*

Wisdom.. I am craving for it...

I was wondering... what's happening to me? I have been tired and very listless.. Because of that, i often suffer from headaches and the feeling of vomit is always there..

I used to be rather noisy and love laughing for nothing but all these were slowly fainting away.. Down the years.. I wonder am I getting mature that cause these huge changes in me..

I prefer to speak less now....

I becomes very forgetful.. I can't even remember one's name after repeating for 2 weeks.. I can't remember which company my friends work even we have been repeating it..

I becomes a selective listener.. My mind oftens operate at blank mode..

Are these good things that i should turn away from my previous childish acts? I doubt so..

So what's happening to me?

Thoughts: I need strength and wisdom...

Krabi Trip ( Day 3)

Day three in Krabi, 29 Sep 07'.

We woke up early to have our breakfast once again in the, " Bird of the Paradise". We rush off the sausages that we were having as we have sign on the 1/2 day tour for Elephant treking..

Elephant treking was interesting.. The tour there was good.. They arrange everything swee swee for us.. They arrive to our hotel on time to pick us to the ,"elephant camping area". We arrived with a few Ang Mos.. We started treking almost immediatey after we reach.. A long seat is attached to the elephant's back and we sat on top of the seat.. We past thru the forest thru the waters and small hills.

We started walking thru the waters and my friend told me that accidents of elephant slipping DO happen... Oh man.. I was so scare.. As the waters are rushing quite fast and the earth in the waters seems so not stable and slippery.. But... we manage to get thru without getting wet..


Walking thru the waters..


Rushing waters beneath..

Elephants are so cute.. They are like kids too.. The have their temper.. When the trainers ask them to go on the route they sometimes will take their own route instead.. The trainers have a rod with a sharp hook in front in case the elephant rans out of hand..

How it feels like sitting on top of the elephant..



Our elephant is the last elephant but very soon it decide to take its own route and we became first... Haha...


When *Elephant* nature calls...


My boy friend, elephant.. Haha..


Elephant bathing


The elephant really possess very strong trunk.. The use their trunk to break down the plant they are going to eat.. They love sweet food so the plant u see above is pineapple plant..

After the tour, we were tired.. Went back to hotel rested and came out to have some pizza..


Pizza with 4 different favours @ only 250 bhatt

What are the Keys to your heart?

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is traditional. Without saying anything, both of you communicate with your hearts. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Krabi Trip ( Day 1 and 2)

Upon touching down in Singapore yesterday night, had Burger King at Terminal 2 and took a cab back home. Fall flat in bed and had a great sound night.. I miss my bed the most during this vacation.


Getting all ready to head to Airport..

First of all, Krabi is somewhere in Thailand. In case anyone who does not know..


Reference>> http://krabi.sawadee.com/krabi-map.htm

As from the map, there are many small island situated near Krabi. They are the Koh Phi Phi Don, Koh Phi Phi Le, Koh Lanta and many many many more.. Since we went to Krabi on the end September, low peak season, i am amaze that there are not many tourist around.. Quite quiet and peaceful area. If you are looking for relaxation with no busy cars and high rise, Krabi will be a best choice you will find.

There are many zones in Krabi that you can live in and we choose Ao Nang and we stayed in Ao Nang Paradise Resort thru out our vacation.

( Day 1 )
We touch Krabi Airport on the 27 Sep 07, 10 plus at night. Bought tickets for a cab to our hotel at 600 bhatt. After changing into my pyjamas, fall flat in bed. The room is quite small but still acceptable for 1,300 bhatt a night. Around SGD60.


My room..

( Day 2)
Of cos, the hotel accomodations includes breakfast. So after washup, we met at the eating area called, Bird of Paradise. Indeed, Bird of the Paradise, think only for birds.. Its so small there.. Only 7 small tables and the food is just basis breakfast. But what do i expect from 1,300 bhatt..


The breakfast buffet Area..


The eating area, " BIRD OF PARADISE"

After eating our bf, we ask the reception to prepare for us motorbikes. It's so cheap.. 200 Bhatt to rent for 1 whole day!! We started refilling our tank at a near by Kiosk.. See their Kiosk.. You won't see these in Singapore...


The lady refilling our bikes with gasoline..


The gasoline, " petrol"

We paired up and started exploring Ao Nang.. Below are some pictures of Ao Nang.. Some pictures are quite blur as i took them on the bike...


There are many cliff in the area.. You can see it everywhere..


The road in Ao Nang...


There are many rubber trees in Krabi


Look at this.. Its beautiful..


The locals are quite scattered in the place.. Their house can be found anywhere..

We travel on and found this King Cobra Show..

We paid 100 bhatt each to take a look at the so called " farm".


The show stage of the snakes..


This is where the trainers live..

Their living stardard are very low and rely a lot on tourisim in Krabi.. They are very nice and friendly people.. Sometimes i feel ashame thinking of my last trip to BKK trying to bargain for a lower price where the price is already low compared to the stuff in Singapore.. So people out there.. They are people less fortuante than us, just bless them if we can and stop bargaining.. They are trying to live a life there too..


The trainer have to cut one of his finger due to an accident in the show. He got bitten by a cobra... So poor thing.. He allow me to take a shot of his fingers..


The Viper, a very fast moving snake..


The Cobra, a very poisonous snake.. Country Of Orgin: Phuket.. Haha.. Even Snake also have COO..


The Python, big snake.. there are 2 in it...


The King cobra, also a very poisonous snake..


I forgot what snake is this..


The Mangrove snake.. Not Mango snake...


The Greensnake..


A close up shot of the greensnake..


The trainers monkey.. We spotted it upon leaving the farm.. Its so so cute.. Like a small kid..



We stopped at a nearby beach before going for a massage.. The massage is cheap at 200 bhatt for 60 mins.. Worth it.. We got ourselves massage almost everyday..

We rested a while in the hotel and continued to our next distination, their famous, " Tiger Cave".. We got ourselves a map of that place and continued our journey..The weather so hot.. Luckily i got my sunblock lotion on.. We past in between two cliffs and the temperature drops immediately.. Like entering into a air-condition room.. Amazing...


We went thru these cliffs.. Free Air condition...


They have shops selling these kind of shether which is widely used in Krabi..


Cows are common to be seen along the road..


There are even people living under this kind of Cliff..


I love this picture..

Can you feel youself riding on a bike now?


After a long ride, we finally reached our distination..



Wat Tham Seua (Tiger Cave Temple), Krabi

Its a very big temple with very high cliff and steps were built for people to climb.. Its so many times higher than Bt Timah hill..Its has over 1200 steps to the top.. We gave up half way thru..


Some of he steps were so steep that we need to used two hands to cling onto the handle to climb in case we may roll down..


Many monkeys were spotted everywhere..


Look at this Mother Monkey nursing its young..


The view while climbing half way thru... cool...

Magnificent view...


After that we head back our hotel and... KAOZ...We lost our way in Ao Nang.. Going in and out of Ao Nang missing the turns and back to Krabi Town and so on.. We travel for almost more than 40km on the road before we could reach the hotel.. Sit until my butt also pain..

But we felt relieve after reaching our hotel.. Rested for a while before going for dinner.. Pass by Macdonalds and guess what i saw??!! I say Macdonald's status with the Sawadika hand sign instead of the ones we saw in Singapore..


The food in Mac are not as nice as in Singapore..

Their fried chicken is not as crispy and juicy..
They sell harshbrown thru out the day but its extremely oily..

They sell Samurai Pork burger and their Mac flurry comes in 4 different favours. Banana crunch, love you Berry Much ( Berries), Oreo and one more i forgot.. Think its mixed fruits or so...

Had these for dinner at one of the roadside restaurant.. They are all good cooks.. We could find nice and affordable food everywhere.. They have many vege in their food.. Every dish you order are accompanied by lots of vege.. May it be dry, soup, noodles or rice...


Seafood Tom Yam


Stir Fried Prawn..

I am Back!!!!

Finally back in Singapore.. I will update on my Krabi trip once I upload my photos...
