Back From Phuket
Well, I'm back from my short trip to Phuket today.
Left on the 7.45am flight from Changi Airport. My uncle came along with me, giving me confidence to fly alone. It's my first time flying alone, see. Not very sure of the procedures.
Anyway, the first day in Phuket (Monday)...
Went to visit the beaches along the west side of the island. It was a beautiful sight. The sea is so clear and calm, the sand is white like flour. Awesome view!The effects of the tsunami is still evident in some places. I saw rows of shophouses in the process of being restored. Some business were up and running, whereas some have not begun repair work due to shortage of fund. I'm speechless to see what mother nature can do. But humans still have our own way out.
That evening, went to eat authentic southern Thai food. Had to say I couldn't tahan the food. Delicious but it was way too spicy for me. Ate until my mouth and stomach was on fire, litterally.
The second day, my dad took us for a car ride along the eastern coast of Phuket. Unlike the west, this side is full of mangrove swamp. It is still untouch, and the sight is amazing. Too bad I can't attach some photoes here. Dunno how.
The weather there is super, super hot. The soarching sun was like draining every bit of energy out of me. Had very bad headache. Couldn't enjoy much of the trip later in the afternoon.
Spent the few days there being with my parents and sis. Really enjoyed the trip. We didn't go out to the sea as I wanted to spent the time just being with them. Anyway, been out to the sea a few times already....jelak, nothing new to see.
On the way back, had a spectecular bird's eye view of the west coast of Malaysia. Saw Langkawi, Penang and all clearly. The plane flew so much to the south of Singapore, I even saw Indonesia. Thank God for the fine weather.
Well, here I am back in campus. Having only a few days of my holiday left to do project work. Brought my stuff to do during my trip but didn't even start. Yeah, that's about it.
