Long time no 'SEE'!!
Hahahahah...
How have everybody been so far? I'm currently still very busy at work, though I must admit that it gives me a great sense of satisfaction. Especially when I see a successful event and promotion one after the other... the response and result... the feeling is remarkable! I'm sure many of you who run promotions and manage events will have the same experience as me!
A little update on what has been going on in my life since my last post... since I seldom go online these days too.. too tired to chat...
I went to Bintan and Phuket for a break with my Sec sch buddies and my mum n sis respectively.
The bintan trip was refreshing. It was one of our first trip to somewhere out of S'pore for the first time as a group after graduation. We've been talking about traveling to somewhere and we've finally done so!!! So happy! Many thanks to Lac who got us the 'HUGE' chalet at a very affordable rate. Thanks to Winnie who cooked for us. Thanks to Shan and Shufen for being such great sports, shopping and sleeping companions. And of course- many many thanks to the 4 of you for being such great traveling mates. This is extremely important as it affects the friendship. I'm thankful that it did not and I'm more than willing to travel with you guys again! How about all of you? If you don't feel comfortable, must let me know ya?!
But as good as it is, I've been shedding skin for 2-3 weeks after the Bintan trip. And I've turned very tan, so tan till my colleagues who saw me 3 weeks after still questions me why I am so dark! Very exaggerating! Haha... If you want to find out more about Bintan or view the many pictures we took, please refer to Shan's blog.
Next would be my trip to Phuket. Stayed at Banthai Resort and Spa. GOOD! EXCELLENT! I strongly recommend anyone who wants to go to Phuket to book a room there. Convenient, spacious, excellent service, many facilities and tight security. There's even a jacuzzi, suana room and a hot steam bath room. One very memorable experience with Banthai was on the last day of our stay. We checked out at 12pm then went to join a tour to visit James Bond Island. It rained, so all of us were drenched, soaking wet. Hence, we tried our luck by asking the reception if there was any place for us to shower and change. And guess what!? They offered us their spa to use to shower!!! So prestigious right? I'm impressed. They have me as a supporter now. Haha...
Besides the hotel, we went for a half day city tour, went to watch the Simon Cabaret and Phuket FantaSea Show, went for a half day Island tour and of course, shopping and services!!! I shall let the pictures do the talking now. Haha...
My ex-colleague from Voxy. To think that we've not met for a year already, but now that we've met, it's her serving me on Jetstar!!! Haha...
At James Bond Island- We wanted to climb higher, but it started to pour so we ran all the way down again. Drenched...
At the foot of James Bond Island
At Payee Restaurant. It's a Malay Fishing Village. Food is superb there!
On the 'banana' looking boat to all the various island... can't rem exactly what it is called..
At Phuket FantaSea- Tickets are slightly expensive, but it's totally worth it. It's a not-to-be-missed show in Phuket!
At the entrance of Banthai Resort and Spa
We had the jacuzzi all the ourselves.... shiok!
After the Simon Cabaret Show. Spotted a few really gorgeous performers...
At Phuket's most famous temple- Can't rem what it's called too.. haha...
Rifle Shooting- I scored 42/50!
A bird's eye view of Phuket
Our hotel room- the bathroom and basin
Banthai was the second hotel which I stayed at where the basin is not in the toilet..
Our cosy bed and hotel room!I must emphasize why I went for this Phuket trip. I won this trip through my company's 'First to travel through Terminal 3' ballot draw. As we all know, T3 will be opening its door to the public from 12 Nov 2007. Besides the landside area where most public can walk about freely, visitors can get to explore the transit mall for a nominal fee. You should really go to visit if you have the time. It's huge! I spent 10mins walking from one end to just half the terminal. If I'm not wrong, some stores will be operating by 12 Nov too, so go and grab the great deals available!
Besides Bintan and Phuket, I also went to stay over at SAF Yacht Club. My mum is in a networking club which allows her to exchange points for a night's stay at the SAF Yacht Club. I must stay that although the place is small, the whole atmosphere is relaxing. Moreover, it's a restricted area, hence, the crowd is kept to its smallest. Therefore, making it very exclusive. Food is good, facilities properly kept and even its KTV has the latest song!!! Worth visiting if you have a chance.
At SAF Yacht Club- We were not supposed to take pictures with yachts at this area. But we took till the security warned us... haha...
I want this swing for my house!
I particularly like this picture. Good photography skills yeah?
I wanted to show you guys the boat turned bar top but can't be bothered to rotate the pic... try tilting your head instead.. haha...
Taking a night walk...
There was a marriage solemnization when we checked in...
The wedding couple arrived in a yacht... how cool yeah?
The Swimming pool and jacuzzi...
The view from our hotel room...
The 2 twin cosy beds...That is all for now.. took quite some time to type this post and to upload all the pics... shall continue my update another day when i feel like it.. sayonara!
