About me: Always like to explore new strategies in 三国杀. Love it as it works your brains and besides, the game is really fun. I personally have not found anyone who doesn't like it so yea..I sure hope you guys will like it too. One sure thing though, if you like the card game Bang!, you will probably love this!
Life is just so unpredictable

Post Thailand...
It's been a while since i returned from Thailand alrdy i know..But since i got time to spare..It's time to leave some memory trails here and there ya..=)
Overall we spent 4 days in phuket and 4 days in bangkok. A really complete yet budget holiday i would say with sight seeing and shopping. Actually it didnt really began as a budget holiday heh read on to find out more.
So we started in phuket on 9 july. Check in to our hotel, Patong Villa, after we touch down at abt 2.45pm. Put down our stuff in hotel and went straight out to explore..=)..Went to get dinner then check out the nightlife of phuket. Our hotel was just a walk down to the street of nightlife in phuket, Blanga Road. Drinks were definitely more expensive than wat u could have gotten from 7-eleven. Of course we are talking abt a different experience here. U had ladies playing games with u and R&B songs playing loud in the background wat more could we ask for right, seng?? So that was first night.
Day2
We went to Phi-phi Island on this day. It was a full day trip starting from 8am to 4.30pm. It was a really fulfilling trip. We got to see some movie-like scenery and snorkel. Some funny things happen when we were on board the speedboat..right Chris..?? Chris here actually got sea sick, which was totally unexpected heh..=). There was a particular place which i did like to mention, Khai Islands. Wat's the interesting thing abt this place was that there were fishes very near to the shoreline. Imagine urself sitting near the shore first and picture fishes all ard u. That's wat i''m talking abt. Things get even more fun when u feed the fishes =).
Day3
We went to rent bikes and went exploring the south of Phuket Island. Seng pillioned chris and I went solo. Had tried riding previously in Malaysia so had a bit of exp ba. Plus the bikes were fully automatic so it was really easy. We went to Karon view point where we got to see some of the beaches high up. Then to a temple had some cheap lunch after which we went to Phromthape Cape, a really well known spot for viewing sunset. Even the locals themselves loved going there. As we returned to our hotel after dinner, we were stopped cos of a police roadblock. Riding without license saw us losing 300baht as fine. The most sian part was that my fren seng had license but did not bring out. That itself made he even more sian..oh well..RELAC=)
Day4
Todae was bike trip north, we made our way to a "waterfall" onli to find out that the waterfall was so damn small fitting onli 2 ppl before becoming fully occupied. o_O and i havent mentioned the part where we paid 200baht each to go into the Park where the waterfall was located. So we were like SIAN..So we travelled ard again stopping here and there for drinks, etc. Then we went back to Phromthape cape again cos when we went yesterday, we were kinda late. So we decided to go there once again. We went earlier this time, we walked down the high ground, closer to the edge where surprisely, the view was even better. We could see the horizon, coupled with the sea breeze wah..wat more could we ask for..=).
Day5(13 july)
Woke up earlier on this day to have some fun on Patong Beach. At first we were a little reluctant to go into the water but once we got wet, we didnt care anymore. =) We tried to take pictures of mid air jumps but it was just hard to catch the shutter speed esp for chris and seng who just cant seem to get the shutter speed right =). So after the beach fun, we went to return our bikes and check out before making our way to the airport for our domestic flight to bangkok..=) Touchdown, Went to Khao san road. Khao san road at night was like a mini blanga road. There were less night spots but more stalls selling items. And there were lots of road side stalls which sold cheap alcoholic drinks which came in buckets..yes buckets..=) So we bought ourselves a bucket and went to get some snacks to accompany the drinks.
Day6
Morning was just some last min exploration/shopping. Then we went to check in at Baiyoke Boutique. It is really a good hotel, though a little more ex compare to the hotel we had in khaosan but like wat they always say, the more u pay the better u get. BAngkok was all abt shopping shopping and shopping so we began. Going to MBK, there were an abundance of shops selling apparel/accessories. That was when i told chris and seng that in thailand u arent afraid u got no clothes to wear or no food to eat. U only fear u have no money. Which is really true given everything was relatively cheap to us. Night time we went suan lom for night shopping.
Day7
We started with platinum SC then to Pratunam center which was like ulu. Night time we went to suan lom again cos seng had to change the pants he bought. He said his thighs felt like bursting when he wore the pants.
Day8
Went back to MBK cos we had some final shopping to do. Things like seng's converse shoes, hoodies and specs were all there. So eventually he bought everything in his to buy list and i got myself a new jacket..=) next time can use when i go iceskating or when i'm just cold in the lecture room..Night time went to floating market. It was our last night there so our budget was really tight. Suddenly there were like so many things to buy but our resources were limited..=)
Day9(17 July)
We went walking ard our hotel area as there were many shops selling clothes as well but previously we didnt have time to explore..=)..so after exploring we went to Baiyoke sky hotel for buffet on the 76th floor. First time went to such a high floor + Buffet lo =) really worth it..But ate a little too full. When we went to the 84th story, the observatory deck, I was kinda quiet as i didnt really feel like speaking cos i ate too full..But the video chris took of us was really candid man..=) Went back to singapore arrived 10pm after half an hour of delay.
Thoughts
Our boys overseas trip shall be remembered and watever lame or fun things we did shall not be forgotten. And i really love our candid videos la..damn funny la just looking back at wat we all said at that point of time..=)..It's really a trip that worthy of our time and money isnt it..=)
Friends forever ya chris and seng..
