Back from Phuket!

Finally Am back!!!

After a rush off work, I have left my office on last Wednesday with my colleagues to our long awaits holiday! Our company (my first) trip to Phuket, Thailand.

Unfortunately, my camera went 'under the sea' on the second day :*( .... *SAD*... my new camera, I havent able to play with it long enough.. Now its on its way to the factory for repair.. i accidentally dropped it in split seconds but it manage to scope some sands and water into the lens (DARN!). Now my problem with it is, the lens doesnt close anymore.. Might have some sand caught inside... Hope nothing major (CROSSING ALL MY FINGERS!!!!!!)

I manage to capture some pictures on the 1st day and a few shots before the dis-rupture of my camera. Took some with my camera phone but the quality sucks max. I used my colleagues' camera to take some.

Alright, back to the trip. It's quite a nice hotel that we stayed in. It is called the Millennium Hotel at Patong Beach. Although, I wished we were actually facing the beach rather than some hills and buildings. The place was actually quite alright and easy accessible. Our hotel is attached to a shopping mall. So, its good as we can get entertainment and food just a walk down the road.

Bangla Road (yeah, that's what it is called) is just across from our hotel, where you get the night scenes of Patong Beach. Bars filled with chics and tourist, and nice seafood restaurants along that road. However, I find that Pattaya is more happening compared to Phuket. The night scenes in Pattaya is more exciting and more fun. Also, to shop at Phuket is more expensive if compare to Bangkok (even more expensive that Pattaya!!). If you try to bargain with the stall keepers, sometimes they are quite arrogant! But, the shopping mall's goods are more decent pricing. Their branded goods are slightly more cheaper compare to Malaysia (eg: Adidas, Nike, Dockers etc). I noticed as well there are more Indians (maybe that's why it is known as Bangla Road) than Thai around our surrounding.

During my 4days 3nights stay in Phuket, other than minor shopping that I did, I went Island hopping on my 2nd day stayed. Went to 'Pi Pi Island' where Leonardo Di Caprio shot 'Titanic'.
There are many islands that we went, sorry though.. I have lost count and can't even remember their names as I was too busy puking!!!!!! I really got motion sickness. The moment I was on the car to the jetty, I already started puking. Upon reaching the jetty, I went visited their toilet for my second round. Going on the speed boat (mind you, its an hour journey to the 1st Island on Speedboat!! Its really far!) i had another round. Reaching the 1st island (which was really beautiful and breath taking) i went to their loo and did my 3rd round. I wished the time spend hugging the toilet bowl, could have been spent to walk around the beautiful island and quick deep into the sea. went back on to the boat for the next island I had my another round and it went on and on and on till we were back to the jetty. In the end, I counted I puked about 7 times, in just that half a day.. I went really green and couldn't had anything in me. Despite, having to take two pills of anti sea-sick pills but seems like it didn't worked for me this time, except it started to kick in after the whole journey and got me really sleepy on the way back to the hotel.

What was the most fun would probably be our company dinner. We had lots of fun and get to see our bosses without their 'mask' on and were quite chilling with us hehehehehe
