Phuket, Thailand [ Day 1 ]

Weather:
There are five of us in total for this Phuket trip and I wish we had more. Let me do some introduction to who we are: Judy is with long hair parting to the right, Cecilia is with shoulder length hair parting to the left, Dominick (my brother) is with short hair wearing bermudas and dearest is with curly short short hair wearing jeans. This is Judy's first overseas trip. She doesn't show that she is excited on the outside but I think on the inside she is. Enjoy!

This how the Budget Terminal looks like during Christmas. We have to check in 2 hour before the flight.
There's nothing much to do there, so just took some pictures before checking in the baggage.

After checking in the baggage, we sat around the terminal waiting to go into departure area.
So it's time to give out the money (Baht) and there's Judy counting and showing off her Baht.

Taking some pictures before moving into the gates.
The M&M bottles are so cute but they are an expensive item.

What are sweets without colors.
These irresistible colorful lollipops.

Walking around or chit chatting while waiting for boarding time.

While waiting, my and dearest took picture.
This was our first couple picture for the trip.

Walking towards our gate number six.

Cecilia and Judy wanted to take picture of this caucasian cause they said he look quite handsome.

This is our plane to Phuket. So small compared to others.
Well...that's budget airlines.

Caught Cecilia sleeping while taking some sky and island on the plane.

While walking along the street looking for dinner, we caught one of the dog with his name spray on his back.

There is alot of stall and restaurants selling seafood along the street but we are only looking for local thai food.
We walking almost to the end then we found a stall selling noodles and seafood omelette and another stall selling pork rice. And the interesting thing about the local stalls there is that they have many bowls of vegetables on the table to go with the food. All of them are free of charge except for the eggs. Now I shall show you the food.

This is the Seafood Omelette I'm talking about.
It may not look good but it's delicious.
Something different from the ones we ate in Singapore.

This one is Pathai from the same noodle stall.
The noodles is so "Q'. I think I can eat two plates of it.
Kind of craving for it now when I'm back in Singapore.

Pork rice pork rice. Hmmm Yum! Looks like chicken rice eh.
The meat is soft and the soup is boil using radish. Dearest ate almost two plates of it.
The chili not spicy enough though. I think my aunt's chili is still the spiciest.

The 串烧 stall which is a few steps away.
Since we just had our dinner, we order just three sticks and give it a try.
They have a variety of choices there.

Took the three sticks of 串烧 back to the hotel and eat it a while later.
We ordered hotdog, beef stick and some minced meat.
It may look like the same color but the taste is mouthwatering.

You must be wondering why I post this playing cards.
This playing cards cost us 190 Baht which is equivalent to S$8.26.
We are shock indeed at the price and that is one of the cheapest at their family mart(similar to 7-eleven).

* I decided that if I post all pictures during the thailand trip in one post it will be too long. So I split them into 4 different post according to date. You can ignore the timing as it is not accurate for the 4 posts. Cheers~

Slacking but excited day...

Weather:
It was a slacking day for me today but yet excited because I'm leaving for Phuket tomorrow. Have been doing some last min preparations and printing some important information. And the day passes by quite fast. Yay!

Meeting up dearest and his classmates for dinner at Tonkichi, Takashimaya. It's been more than a week since I saw dearest. I really miss him alot for the past few days. Sigh. He have to work cause his dad's worker's aunt pass away. Aw man. It's just so coincident.

Never mind all that. We will be departing from Singapore at 1350 budget terminal. I will definitely take alot of photos and load it up on my web gallery when I come back. Will be back in 4 days. Don't miss me too much ya.

投名状 The Warlords

Weather:
Another rainy day. Spend the whole afternoon packing my old wardrobe as the new ones came yesterday. Sigh. The company that did the wardrobe is really not making my day. The wardrobe doors can't close evenly, the bar isn't align properly and there is scratches on the door too. They ruined my plan for the weekend. Now I have to wait til next weekend before they can replace a new one for me and brother.

Had Ichiban Sushi for dinner at Plaza Singapura with my gang. Afterwards, we caught "The Warlords". I don't know why I kept laughing during the show. I meant it's a war show, I shouldn't be laughing no? The funniest part of the show was when 金城武(Takeshi Kaneshiro) said, "大哥是对的". He seriously needs to buck up on his acting. I just can't read his character through his eyes. At certain angles 刘德华's(Andy Lau) eyebrow looks a little weird but there is nothing I can say about his acting. The best actor among the three stars, I would say it's 李连杰(Jet Li). I wouldn't say this show is a fantastic show but animated effects are good.


Cast: Jet Li, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro
Genre: Drama/ Action
Language: Mandarin
Release Date: 13 December 2007
Running Time: 127 minutes

Changing of lab PC

Weather:
Weather for this week is so comfortable for sleeping and therefore I was late for work today. As a result for being late for work, I didn't make my sandwich for breakfast. So I went for morning break at around 10 with some of my colleagues to have breakfast at McDonald's. It's been quite a while since I last visited McDonald's for breakfast.

After eating breakfast, Lin Chong and Ah Bai went downstairs to get the new Intel Core 2 Duo PCs for us to change. Currently only we DTs are changing to the new PCs. So the rest of the day are spent fixing up the new ones and dismantling the old ones. I hope after changing to the new PC I won't get anymore hanging of programs.

Nowadays, technology goes on a diet. The mouse that is pack with the new Dell PC has a curve. Lol. Just like girls have a waist. Now the mouse feels so sexy, light and slim. I should take a picture of it and post it up soon.
