Flew there by Silk Air... For the first time... we have someone waiting for us at the airport. Holding a piece of paper with Mr/Mrs Thong yaochang Derrick name on it.

Felt so privileged... Aiyoh... so palia

Free transportation to Cape Sienna Hotel


Pay a little bit more for the package and that save us so much hassel to get a cab... vrooom... heading to Cape Sienna lo.....


Wowww.... We were greeted with such breathtaking paranomic sea-view. That's just the reception




Balcony...overviewing the Indian Ocean...


Banana Crepe... I thought I wouldn't try any 路边摊food... but the smell is just too good to resist. After eating one, we order another on....Good business idea



300 Baht for 1 hour of Thai massage.... I wish I can do it like twice a day

Day 1... Decided to just hang around Kamala Beach which is near our hotel instead of the infamous Patong beach... Kamala Beach is better known for honeymooner as it is quiet and not much of night life. Basically nothing much around this place
But we also realise that this beach is also where Tsunami strike... Along the beach, we saw monument for victims and sign board stating Tsunami danger zone. OMGosh


Seafood BBQ for our first meal in Phuket....






Day 2 - An eventful and tiring day. Part of the package includes a half day tour around Phuket island.

45mins of elephant trekking. It is damn hot.... but we felt so close to the nature.


Animal cruelty?? They would use this sharp "hook" to hit and peirce the elephant's ear when they become unstable. A few time, the elephant just wonder off and take his own sweet time to eat, pee and poo poo.... Once, I felt we will fall off from the hill cos this elephant was too engross eating at the edge of the hill. Anyway, we can find elephant dung everywhere. It was as big as the burned coconuts... and when they pee.... oops.. they dun pee... I think the flash out their urine. It simply flowing non stop. lol




Awesome scene. Taking a closer look... You see a huge nest on the top of the tree. The guide say that it's built by the hawk....


Time to feed the elephant. Derrick say that he has great sucking power.


Temple visit


lady agar agar


Ms China sang 梅花梅花满天下




At night... we book tickets to watch Simone Cabaret - Lady boy show... Derrick is so short standing beside her. Honestly, I am really keen to know how they looked like before this. They were all so beautiful and sexy. Though not all, some looked quite embarrassing as they are still in midst of transforming...standing at the right side of derrick is a very good example.hehe


Wah lao.... I looked so "cui" beside her. Pay a tip of 40Baht if you wanna a picture with them. Pay first if not... many of them will crowd around you and you have to pay all of them later.


Closer look...she has eyebrow that did not trim properly. It looks too bushy for lady. It was mad rush when I took a picture with her as their next show is starting... Expected but yet surprise to hear her spoke with a masculine rude voice...快点快点.....





Isn't it great to have a living room like this.
Reading and chilling


Day 3 - Pipi Island, monkey beach, maya beach, Khai island
snorkeling


After an hour, we finally arrived at Pipi Island where Hollywood movie, The Beach was filmed.
The island was filled with ...... "Ang Mos''... mostly Russian and Scandinavians as their countries are winter now ...
Where's all the Asians??? Felt abit out of place honestly.... Then we realise we went Phuket during an unpopular season for Singaporeans and many Asians.







It's a good experience.... I like it





Monkey Beach... "Monkey" taking picture with monkey


Fishes eat banana too!!




So nice of them to write a card for us every night. A personal touch

Had our lunch at Ice edge before checking in. A nice eat out place at Kovan, owned by my colleague's sibling.


Great view. All thanks to Derrick's cousin who works there as Duty Manager. We got a high floor with good view. simply enjoy the whole feeling of coming for a " local holiday"....


OMGosh.... I simply like the toilet....


Lord... grant us a toilet that look like this



Spending quality time

How I wish my bed at home can be that comfy and fluffy!!!






Adding to the whole ambiance...a special complimentary red wine and fondue from the hotel


and a nice Seasalt Caramel cake from Blue Magnolia. Complimentary from the bank


Bought some macaroons from Holland Village for the ladies tonight...


And a pleasant surprise after settling down in the room 15 mins later...






Checking out the swimming pool. Manage to swim the next morning.... but wah lao.. it started to pour the moment I dipped into pool




The program for the day is simple. Watch this movie and went to Rustic Nirvana for an hour of super shiok Swedish massage. Again, complimentary from the bank.
Not bad huh... working for the bank..
Any way,this movie is abit over-rated lah... But it was still a good "Hormedy"



The alumni came at night for the celebration.




Jordan enjoying his macaroon. The boy has the hokkien blood in him... before he learned to say NO, he said "mai", which mean No in hokkien.


Little Elly


Cheers to a good good year. Look at Jordan's involvement


My best friend for the last 12-13 years








Thanks for the gifts and "board game" ...


Thanks for coming my friends... You made the night special... May we have many more years for great friendship.


Look at the 2 Daniels... Puking...







Heard from Serena and Kenneth that the breakfast at Conrad is awesome... but we didn't had a chance to try it during our wedding as we overslept. Indeed it was!!! They even have ice cream waffle with many other sides for breakfast....

Manage to check out late at 5pm with the help of hubby's cousin...


As much as I recalled, this celebration is one of the most memorable ones. Thanks hubby for making it special... May this be the beginning of a good and fruitful year ahead for all of us.

Best of all, counting down 2 days to Phuket....
