back from my thailand trip.
finally.
missing someone isnt easy.

day one.
arrived at krabi. took a half an hour taxi ride to our resort. had late lunch. aunt carina and me then took a tuk tuk up to mac one km away to packet dinner for the rest. wanted to take a walk back and shop along the way but the rain hasnt stopped.
in the middle of the night when everyone was sound asleep. there was a power cut throughout the resort. the aircon stopped working. how sad was that. everybody was woken up. almost everybody except one-me. i slept throughout.

day two.
went to the beach for tanning and then back to the resort to swim and tan some more. my purpose-to get tanned. and i mean alot tanner. and then in the evening it rained again.
this day was more of a relaxed day. everything was done in our own timing.

day three.
most memorable day of the trip.
went on a tour.
went around on a speed boat powered by twin turbo engines. visited bamboo island. went snokelling. and to phi phi island.didnt know how to use the snorkel at first and only got used to it after drinking two big gulps of sea water. yucks. first was snokelling near the shore then after that was snokelling in open waters at different parts of the sea. the marine life under water is just beautiful. breathtaking. imagine swimming with the fishes. colourful coral fish. saw parrot fish. angel fish even. and many other marine fishes. and also a giant clam. all the sea urchins. and corals and sea anemones. just beautiful. i could go on and on. i didnt wanna come out of the water into the boat. i didnt wanna leave. didnt want the day to end.
we went to monkey bay too. given bananas to feed them. greedy fellows. they dont want pieces of the bananas. they want the whole thing. and they take it by force. one grabbed my leg. i had no choice but to give the whole thing. i was scared.

day four.
shopping.
took a taxi ( the thailand kinda taxi) to krabi town.
shopped at a shopping centre. nothing much.
wanted to go to gastropod fossil. they call it the shell cemetery. heard its a beautiful place. but due to high tranport costs. we headed back to our resort. i fell asleep while watching tv. so i had trouble sleeping at night. but i was thinking of somebody all night long.

day five.
breakfast. waited for time to pass. cant wait to get back home to singapore and see baby. but time passed kinda slow that morning. watched tv. this show-powder was showing on star movies. sucha nice show. touching. was moved to tears. havent cried in a long while.

krabi time is an hour back from singapore time.
needed some time to adjust.
whats good about shopping in krabi is the bargaining and the friendly people.
and anybody can walk in their swim wear all day around krabi. anybody big small fat thin. felt so comfortable there. and quite safe too.
oh. and the thai pancake. yummylicious. its a must try. pancake with egg and banana and milk and chocolate. mmm.
had seafood almost everyday for dinner. sure. i put on weight.
got bitten by mosquitoes. lotsa bites all around.
i love the beach. and the sunset.
the sea is so clear. really really clear. like transparent clear.
i love the beach.
and when the tide goes down. walking on the wet sand is just so nice. crabs and hermit crabs and starfish.
and i got tanner.
and got a tattoo. a fake one.
and had a great time.
a real memorable time.

got back to singapore. met baby to study.
i missed him lots. i feel so bad for not calling or messaging him for the past five days.
didnt know he wasnt feeling well and all. lots happened when i was away.
sorry baby.
didnt wanna let him go. didnt want time to pass so soon. but he has to go home and study and get some rest. i'll get to see him soon. it better be soon.

nights.
