The itch that I (try to) scratch- once a year

This time it was to Phuket! For New Years!

 

Day 1 (27 Dec 07)

Blindly stepped out of the hotel and groped around for things to do. Found them (the things to do). The usual KL stuff on a Saturday night, except it was in a completely different language that made no sense. At one point DJ said something and we went ‘Wohoooooo’… and the guy next to me says “DJ said those of you who are heartbroken raise your hands”.. Now ain’t that sad.. A bunch of people traveling together, all heartbroken! Hahahaha

Phiang na kroop, sian no no phriii…!!!

 

Day 2- Bad corals, great people

Phi-

Island

Decided to fulfill our roles as tourists and visited Phi Phi island. Funnily enough the day was awesome not because of the place we went to, but the people we met:

 

Marla- the British pilot suffering a mid life crisis and dealing with it in style (6 months off work and traveling around the world)

 

Sam- the Aussie 21 year old who (thankfully) does NOT sleep with sheeps, traveling for 5 weeks around S.E Asia

 

Sebastian- The French cum Asian wannabe who swam with the sharks

 

And a woman from

Bangkok

, staunch supporter of Thaksin and recommender for good seafood for dinner.

 

And then we got conned 600 Baht while getting there.

Why take pictures if you’re not gonna share em?? Hahahaha ~ runaway model wannabe

 

Day 3- New year’s eve!

 

Beach. Sand. Fireworks. Crazy people. Near- death misses. Lanterns in the sky. Friends.

 

And the kicker.. hitching a free 40 min ride to the hotel.

 

Best New year so far.

How it can go sooo wrong. We’re sitting there, chilling. And we get attacked by lit lanterns gone wayward.

Waiting for fireworks gala

 The whole stretch of beach was alight (firework + lanterns = pollution! Hahaha)

Day 4 (1 Jan 08)

I’m working tomorrow??!?? Hahahahaha.. Happy New Year y’all! Cheers to growing up!
