Batam Trip

2D1N Batam Trip with 礼德 (07062014 - 08062014)

One month late on this post. But I'm really happy that I went on this trip. Bonding time with my Grandma and my 2 lovely cousins. Its been awhile since I hang out with my 2 lovely girls. heheh. They'd been my only girly playmates since I was young cuz the rest of cousins are boys and I learnt how to play barbie dolls and all the girls stuffs from them hahahah! 

And also to meet up with my long lost vegetarian friends :-) Its been awhile but we are always there!

Really miss hanging out with them <333 we are all busy with our lives now but I guess if I ever need a prayer, I can just drop by your houses eh? :) 

“Friends are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made, crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless. Best friends are formed by time. Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone. If the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. And it's when the things you do together no longer feel right. However, sometimes it takes more effort to make it work after all. Stick around long enough to become someone's best friend.”

Phuket (110514 - 140514)

Phuket, Thailand Trip 2014

I am hyped up now after coffee and a day of office work.
I want to go for a walk but my phone no batt. zzz.

Best days of my life?
I have many many many best days in my life, but this is definitely a trip that I will remember as long as I don't lose my memory or become senile. There might be a better trip in the future but that future is not near definitely. I will bring this memory to the next phase of my life. I planned hard for this trip (or maybe cus I was too bored). Ok whatever, I did quite a bit of research and taadaaa it was indeed well planned.. Except that I couldn't pay by debit card for the accommodation?! (Lucky I could withdraw money heheh) and we were too tired for clubbing and I think some of the guys were disappointed cuz we don't have ATV, water rafting etc.

DAY 1 // SET OFF, ARRIVAL, WEEKEND MKT

Airport shot, look at the progression of Qinhe taking #selfies / #wefies :D

Yuzheng so happy playing with his DQ as we explore around our villa area and hunt for some food!

JP & his signature twist!! 

TUK TUK to the weekend market to satisfy llama's shopping craves. hahahha. Tuktuk rides are the best and the combo of Meitong & Qinhe taking wefies is goooooodd! They are good partners! ehehheh! I think we had a lot of fun bargaining with those tuktuk uncles and travelling in them! These tuktuks are so different from the ones i took in bkk! Bkk's ones so small, 4 person, 1 will have to sit on the floor! Over here it fits us 8 just fine!! COOOOOOLZ & they're super cute on the outside too! 

DAY 2 // ISLAND TOUR & DRINKING SESSION

We can't get enough of group photos! Yes, I got the waterproof casing for my phone heheheheh! Was doubting its usefulness at the start but wow its amazing.. Although sometimes it made me feel that I lost my phone when it is floating about in the water :( BAD FEELING BAD BAD FEELING! Did not snorkel much, more of throwing bread near my friends so that the fishes keep swimming around them hehehehehhe! I hope some of them have brand new experience for snorkelling! (I seriously want to snorkel somewhere else other than Thailand cuz the fishies here all the sameeeee!) Also, because Phuket was not very near most of the islands, we spent a lot of time on the deck of the express boat, it was rather pleasant I would say? We all successfully fell asleep on top of the boat and get ourselves sun tanned hahaha! I was awaken by a gush of heat wave! LOL, the Sun in Phuket, NO JOKE NO KIDDING MAN!!!

Back to Villa, commencement of drinking session! Just what the….. zzz.. I really cannot drink.. I probably puked like 4-5 times that night.. to the point my stomach felt really empty and all that came out was transparent vodka… puiiiiii…. I had fun watching them get drunk though! hahaha! When you can't enjoy drinking yourself, you have got to learn how to enjoy watching others drink! Yuzheng was hilarious! kept on slapping kevin! and they were like high~~! To the point qinhe walked around in his boxers -_- and jingpeng lock meitong and me out of our own room! Pranks like drawing and putting toothpaste on drunkards never felt better! (poor yuzheng was the saddest victim) HAHAHA! YAY!

DAY 3 // KATA BEACH

All the beach pictures, #nofilter already so pretty muahahahhaha!!!!!! :D

 

SO SO FUCKING PERFECT DAY! (& On this day we realise we have to home bound the next day! Damn sad but I am the 2nd last day was fucking perfect) Would like to say, I AM GLAD WE GAVE UP ATV, water rafting, elephant riding for KATA BEACH! It is a PARADISEEE!~~ *Insert bog's almost paradiseeeeee* It was an OTOT (Own Time Own Target) Day… cuz we drank last night and all… we set off to kata beach at 12pm! A bit too late cuz we spent some time shopping at patong LOL

Look at the 50 shades of BLUE (MY FAVOURITE COLOUR) from the ocean to the sky, it was amazing, awesome, fabulous, FANTASTICAAAA!!!! :D:D:D:D hahaha, I am feeling happy just thinking about it… Please Sentosa can just go aside! Chey!

This beach is not crowded, but I see the potential of it being overwhelmed in the next few years. So I guess, I am glad to be here before it gets overcrowded? heheh, hopefully the peacefulness remains though! The waves was too strong that day! >_< But so good for Jetski-ing! Jet ski~!!!! Haven't tried it for a long time since I was young LOL! Yuzheng & me daebakkkkkkkk!!!!!! AWESOME PARTNER HAHAHA ALTHOUGH WE almost made each other fly out of the ski! Heheh, cooooolz! Half of them went parasailing (did not go cuz I felt that it was not exciting enough for me for the price! hahaha! $40 SGD leh! If I pay that price, I want to parasail myself, not with some monkey man behind me!!) Jet ski was expensive too like $30SGD for 30 minutes.. But it was all worth it, I HAD SO MUCH FUN handling/ being the passenger of the jet ski! WOOTS WOOTS!!!! 

And we played some double dodge ball games that made me run and spin around like dog with a volley ball that we bought over there at SGD10! It is really sad that we couldn't bring the ball back cis we can't inflate it at the airport. SIGH! Wasted… Our volleyball in SG, sitting at the corner of my room currently, has no air, and is going to breakdown any moment bleahhhhh~! 

By 6pm we were all worn out physically!!! Like Jiahao became a lobster!!!!!! Red red lobster!!! Sunburnt like crazy! The sun no mercy! And the beach is too fun not to be enjoying it!!! I just turn chao da… thats all.. sigh.. and minor sunburns…. LIKE MINOR! SO I CANNOT REVERT TO MY ORIGINAL SHADE ANYMORE!!!! Cryy~

And we finally had our seafood dinner that day! The taste i normal but its cheap so OK!!!

DAY 4 // SHOPPING & HOME-BOUND *SOBS*

Last day, not very well planned, free and easy? We should be going to Thai massage or something although I seriously cannot take massages! LOL, we ended up in a gigantic shopping mall playing arcade and going to the 4D theatre. (Forgot the name of the shopping mall though, not thai enough to remember it.) Nevertheless, it was a relaxing and fun day for us to close our minds and prepare to return to reality. 

I had a really really sad lunch cuz our soup was spoilt by the self proclaim chef ong! >:( Ok, cannot blame him, I don't even know how to cook..anyway the buffet there is really really cheap.

Lastly, we almost miss our flight back to Singapore but haha so much for wanting to continue staying there!

---------------------------------------------

I love each and every single of my company in this trip! So glad that Meitong is willing to join and mingle with my crazy, guailan, fan4jian4 friends and I know she definitely enjoyed the trip too! Although there were some awkward situations, I guess yolo Meitong and my very friendly friends made it through good enough! I am thankful that my friends opened their shy heart to accept Meitong and make friends with her, but I think Meitong made it really easy for them too. hahahha. My qt pie, I am going to miss you a lot a lot! xoxo

On another hand, super duper understanding Sam was like damn great. She totally understand me, no wonder we are still friends after 9 long years. Had a htht with Sam before the trip cuz I was worried that I would spend more time trying to get tong to open up to the guys, Sam was really cool with it and she really talk and interact with tong a lot too. Their character is really really different but I guess cool Sam always have ways to subdue those that are different from her. (Yes, She and me practically never like the same thing.) And she is almost never cheesy, so when she is cheesy and do touching stuffs for me, I am always in awe! Thanks, I am touched, but I am not paying you $5!!!! >_<

I've been to so many trips and for the most of them, it was the place that made them unbelievably beautiful and unforgettable, however, for this trip, not only is the scenery and activities fabulous, my company that trusted me so much, made everything more than perfect. I am not the best planner in the world, I would make this a 5d4n trip if I knew the beach was going to be so taxing on us, and we had to give up ATV, white water rafting, etc. However, not once did they blame me when something goes wrong, I am truly happy! (: 

Note: I would love to be able to go on a well-planned trip again with them... (Excluding genting & jb) But that is base on many other factors, like friendship, time, distance, and money, etc. Looking at the worst scenario, Phuket trip might be my last trip with this group of good friends~ khob khoon ka to my friends and lovely Thailand! :D 

PS: May peace be with Thailand~ 

Bintan 2014

So the finals have ended, and I have unofficially graduated from TP! (So happpyyy!!!)
January and February had been HELL for me. Never ending projects, tests and studying!
I really hope my hardwork does not go into the drain.
And yes, finally it is the time toooooo nuaaaaaa (: I am not really emotional and all because I still want to go to university and I guess everything will start all over again so yeah, I am just really glad that I made it through and I finished the 3 years rather peacefully.

11032014 to 13032014
A mini 3d2n relaxing well-deserved graduation trip with the girls that accompany me throughout my 3 years in poly (except Christine :< )

I cannot say that this trip is a success because......
1) Things in the resort are EXPENSIVEEEE
2) It's monsoon season :(
3) The market outside is scary

Oh and also, my 3 girls got seasick..... I truly feel sorry for them......
However, with my lovely girls, I am truly happy for the past 2-3 days in Bintan!!! :)
Tons of thanks to QH who generously let us use his SAFRA privileges!

So all we did over there was to sleeeeeeeeeeep, eat, beach and swim! <3
(Yes we have afternoon naps every single day without fail)
And I truly enjoy lying on the soft sand of Bintan, the ocean is really a beauty! <3

Sooo... pictures speaks a thousand words... (I am too lazy to edit the photos :< )

A note to my favourite girls (including Chris):

These girls have been treating me like a princess for the past 3 years, buying snacks in between breaks for me, studying, motivating me to never give up. Although I am an asshole sometimes (alright most of the times) and sometimes when I am too lame/desperate, they will still be there for me even though they give me the death stare! This trip is awesome and I especially love the moments when they are cooking in the villa!! (Partly because I have no idea how to cook and I think that they are so skillful and talented heheh) So yeap, they are plain amazing!! Even if time and the cruel society makes us drift away from one another, I hope that we will remember the times we spend together as bimbo princesses that bitch around doing silly things like burry-ing G in the sands, making fun of Nixin LOONGGGG sleeping hours, and giving never ending compliments to XX's long hands and legs :D (and when they badmouth Christine behind her back orh hor horrrrrr, kidding chris, they xoxo youuuu) 

Bangkok Trip

This post shall be about my virgin Bangkok trip with my 3 mad girls!

Featuring: Tongtong, Ah Xian & Quck!!! <3

I admit that planning a trip to a place that you've never been there before is really a chore! A frigging tiring chore.. You find so many frigging infos on the net and you just don't know what can you choose from!!! >:( But, all in all, we came back from bkk safely (despite the fact that we missed our flight when coming home) !! So I guess the trip was pretty successful! I did my homework, did my research, printed out notes for this journey! ALL WORTH IT HEHEH! But if I have a choice, I wouldn't want to be the planner hahahah~

Below are some photos~

Night markets that we visited~ Really hack us foreigners you know!! Must learn how to bargain when you are in bangkok! (I cannot forget how one of my qt pies kneel down and ask the shop owner for discount hahahaha!!!!!!!) Its just for laughs laaa! :D

MASSAGE IS A MUST WHEN YOU GO THAILAND I GUESS???

But I really can't take massage cus I FEEL TICKLISH TOO EASILY!!! (yeah while tongtong was in pain, I laughed non stop throughout the process of massage, i think the massage lady must have been PISSED OFF! bleahhh~ :P)

Speaking of craziness, what we do in our hotel room is just.. zzz.. This is one of the most decent times while in our rooms.. The rest of the time... I think its pretty filled with madness that I love hahahaha!

Morning market.. The only disappointed part of our trip. I think we shopped the wrong gate!!! Hmph! Really need those experience bkk shoppers to tell us where to go next time!! Although we still got some loots but I am guessing there are other much cheaper and fun places here! D:

Thai fooood~ I think it is overrated in Bkk because there is always too many people there~ I kinda miss eating in Krabi where there are less people and much more peaceful!

Nail Art and with the pretty & kind lady boss~! Sui ma ma! (Beautiful in Thai heheh :B)

Taking photos anywhere we go and totally acting like tourists is just us girls yooo!! Hahah with Quck's camera, nothing cannot be done hehehe! The number of photos we took was just!!! (WOW)

Tong tong and me in the Giant Room in Dreamworld~ (Their themepark!)

Bangkok is a really busy country.. We shop and eat, eat and shop, shop more and eat more, shop even more and eat even more.. It was a really tiring trip because we shopped all day, and go crazy in hotel rooms all night! Totally lethargic by the end of the trip! With these girls with me though, I feel energetic every single day! Play, CHIONG!!!! Eat, CHIONGGG!!!! Shop, CHIONGGGGG!!! Hahaha, our hyperness might be able to break the world record!!! :D It was a fun trip for my short break before SIP started :(

I would really love to go somewhere scenic and chill for my next trip~ :)  Hopefully I would not have to wait too long~~~~
