I'm home from Phuket!
I don't know why but I feel that Phuket has a very sleepy effect on me. Whenever I wasn't standing or walking in Phuket, I was sleeping. I was sleeping in the plane, on the 5 hours bus ride from Phuket to Surat, and in all sorts of transportation. Taxi, cars. Omg I need to talk about the 5 hour bus ride. Absolutely horrible. Our plane landed in Phuket, and we had to travel to the town of Surat which was 5 hours away. And my mother was so kiasu, she was rushing the entire time cos she was afraid of missing this and missing that. We had to rush from the airport to the bus stop, and we waited there for 1 hour in the hot morning sun. And in the bus, it was hot too despite the air con. So I slept. Nothing else to do anyway.. And we only ate our first meal at 4PM! Mad hungry by that time.
But I totally enjoyed myself cos there was SO MANY big ass billboards of Nickhun endoring Jelato bikes there! Omg I totally spazzed when I saw one. Hot hot hotstuff :D Over in Phuket, we stayed in 2 Novotel hotels. Impeccable service and gorgeous views :D Pictures will be on FB soon. And the room we stayed in had this gigantic Samsung LCD screen which had all sorts of channels, including KBS World and Channel NewsAsia! Great way to keep myself updated on Singapore :D And the buffet breakfast there was really good too.. There were 3 pools in the hotel and of course, the famous Patong Beach. No I didn't swim, I forgot my swim stuff. The second Novotel we stayed in was absolutely different from the first one. It was located in a secluded area high up the mountain and it was everything exclusive, private, and luxurious. There were no shopping areas whatsoever, only the beach which was just outside our room. Perfect for the traveller who just wants to relax. It was so damn quiet and to get to town, you had to take their transportation. We took their car to Jungceylon, and the route down the mountain was really nice. You could see the sea, the tall, dark trees, and all sorts of animals. It totally reminded me of Japan! But the route up was different and scary, cos the route up resembled an F1 race track with all its nonstop twists and turns and the speed our driver was driving didn't make the ride easier too.
The next way, transportation to the airport was a 630AM in the morning, and again I slept. Got on the plane half conscious, and slept again. While waiting for the plane to move, I intended to rest for just awhile as I wanted to catch the plane on take off. So I close my eyes and waited.. waited till I started wondering what the hell was taking it so long only to open my eyes and see the clouds and Malaysia below us.
Got fetched by Dad at the airport and despite wanting to just go home and sleep, we had to take a detour to Loyang to eat and grab some cat sand. Apparently the rain soaked the cats' toilet and they're refusing to use it, instead pooping around on the floor. Ugh. So we finally reached home around 2, and I went to bathe, went on to FB, and slept till now. SHIOKKKK.
