Under the deep blue sea..........or maybe it's just under the surface :)

^_^!!! Just came back from SRC team-building, a simple BBQ at East Coast Park. Am glad that Allivier came, she's one sweet little girl! :) 

While editing the photos from the BBQ, I'll continue with Phuket trip. This time round, it's the Phi Phi Island! :)  

What you can expect from there? Here are some pictures...............

The fishes <3 the bread! :))

At Maya Bay, very quiet Island, an ideal place for a short getaway, with your own tent and camping equipments

The package includes traveling to some offshore islands, mainly Maya Bay Krabi (where The Beach was filmed at), and the Island where there's a lot of beach umbrellas (I can't remember the name though). Along the way, we will stop and take a look at the nearby islands with the vast sea surrounding them and the blue sky as the back drop. A buffet lunch (very simple, but then it was delicious because we're hungry ghost!) *LOL!*. The water is clear, and if you have bread on your hand, the fishes will just appear out of nowhere. HAHAHA! I'm quite disappointed because I didn't get to see Nemo. -___-""

:) I like clear water, especially when I get to see all the colorful fishes and corals underneath it! :) 

Am glad I brought my TX5, and is her virgin trip into the water! LOL! ^_^!!!

Seriously, I'm considering to get a scuba diving license now. Even though I don't feel safe (at all) when I'm underneath the water for long periods (you don't know what might be looking at you in the deep blue sea -_-"), I just can't help to wonder what's really under the water. HAHAHAHA! Very contradicting! 

Found a new friend on our trip, an Italian who loves traveling alone. LOL! And he's been to Singapore before! ^_^!!!

The super duper funny tour guide for the whole trip! She's one cute lady, with a unique accent. Thais has this weird accent when they speak English, but I just can't help laughing whenever they do that. "Goooooooddddddd......Morrrrrnnnniiinnnggggg....." They like to stretch the words longer (than necessary) but this is what differentiate them from others.

:) I love this shot! Kudos to Benny! ^_^!!

Overall, a satisfied trip with lots of sight-seeing and of course the best part is when all the fishes surround you and nibble at your finger, trying to bite a bit of the little bread. HAHAHA! It's quite itchy, and I was afraid that they will bite other part of me. o.O! And of course, the paranoid me kept looking out for sharks. HAHAHAHA!

Back to mainland, and we all decided to go for some night market shopping! :) Stopped by a small roadside stall to have some bites first though. *Famished!* 

The watermelon juice (with chunks of 西瓜 on top!) and Thai's meat ball with duper spicy sauce on top :)

His dinner: Sweet N Sour Chicken Rice and my dinner: Wanton Spinach noodle! :) 

And after that we drove ourselves to the night market: Jatujak! :) HAHAHAHA! We parked just opposite the market, so dark that we can't see where we're walking. We didn't feel quite safe there, but then the whole place is full of cars and it's FREE! LOL! 

My favorite: Sweet potato balls, and coconut pancake? :) There's a different colors of coconuts on top of the very thin crust.

A lot of shops selling clothes, shoes, bags and all sort of accessories. But what caught my attention the most was all the food stalls! :))) I would just stand at this stall and see what food they are cooking. This is the type of experience you won't get to feel in Singapore. 

And when we got the stomach filled to the brim, we made our way home. :) An hour of drive back to our cosy home. It's tiring to drive at night, but then I had to make sure that the other 3 reached home safely. Lucky Mr. stayed awake to talk to me, so I won't doze off. 

HAHAHA! Who ask me to 逞强, keep saying I'm not tired and wants to drive home? -___-""

P.H.U.K.ET, Land of Sunshine :)

:) Still, the memories linger around my head even though I'm back from Land of Sunshine 1 week ago. 

Time really flies, a blink of the eye and I'm back to reality again. I seriously missed those times I had in Phuket! I almost wanted to stay there and become a Thai. LOL! ^_^!!!!

Waiting for our flight, early in the morning. :) The rest are busy shopping around the Budget Terminal, while we're trying to stay awake. LOL! It's quite some time since I last took Tiger Airways, and the last experience wasn't as good. *shaking head!*

Don't we look excited about the holidays? ^_^!!! *Credits to Benny for capturing us before we fly!*

An hour plus of flight, and here we are! :) At the Phuket International Airport! ^_^!!! I think I slept throughout the whole flight, holding my storybook, without even reading 1 word. -_-""

Me, myself, with my newly bought luggage! 4-wheels! ^_^!!!

We cleared the customs quickly and went out to settle the car rental admin stuff. :) Here's the Honda Jazz to bring us around Phuket for the next 4 days! *WINKS!* 

Very brand new car, quite out of our expectations! ^_^!!!

It feels so familiar when I sat behind the wheel. :) I have been driving Jazz throughout my whole driving course. Definitely missed the feeling! :)) 

Finally, everyone cleared the customs, and we found the way to the Hotel. OFF WE GO! *zoom!*

We missed the turn, and had no choice but to drive further down before we can see a U-turn. HAHAHA! This time round we didn't dare to drive too fast, and YAY! we found our hotel (or maybe we should say Villa?)! :) 

See how happy I am. Beaming from ear to ear! *Credits to Benny for the Swimming pool shot!*

We were brought to one of the house first (the other is still not ready yet) and was totally astounded by the homey feeling and the small details at every corner of the house. It's even bigger than the house I lived in. O.M.G! 

The Happy Family :) *Credits to Benny!*

We spend an hour plus exploring the house, and unpacking our luggage to prepare the days ahead! :) 

 

Totally satisfied with the "kids" room! :)) 

While unpacking, we google-mapped to find our way to Patong Beach so that we can get ourselves the package to Phi Phi Island the next day. About an hour of drive according to the map, but in the end we took about 2 hours plus. Because we stopped along the way to grab a bite (our last meal was McDonald's Big Breakfast in the Singapore Airport -_-"")! And of course, we got lost along the way. ^_^!!! What's a road trip if you don't get lost once a while?

Here we are, at the biggest shopping mall in Phuket, Jungceylon :)

The parking rates here aren't that cheap, but we feel is much safer as compared to parking along the beach. 毕竟车不是我们的，要好好照顾! @_@

Bargaining for the best price to Phi Phi Island! ^_^!! 

The lady have to entertain us just because we told her we wanted anything less than 1000 baht! LOL! The good thing about traveling in big groups is that you get to enjoy more discounts on packages! :))

Shall continue with more tonight, maybe on Phi Phi Island? Stay tuned! ^_^!!!

For a day, I'm a pretty doll :)

:) I'm a happy girl, in a happy world now!

Just celebrated my 24th birthday (Yeah, I'm getting older and older!) with dolling myself up first in the morning, followed by a relaxing afternoon at the roof top of Vivocity (with a cup of 贡茶's Earl Grey Milk tea)! ^_^!!!

So, what's up with the dolling myself up in the morning? HAHAHAHA! It was actually from Facebook when I saw that Anna Sui's having a Makeup transformation workshop. I remember it was a link uploaded by a colleague's wife. Just out of curiosity, I called up the Anna Sui's counter to check out this workshop and VIOLA! I got myself 2 seats (1 for myself, 1 for my sister) and it's going to be on my birthday! :)

What attracted me to the workshop is that they will be teaching us 3 styles of eye makeup and 1 of them is my all-time favorite! Rock N Roll style - Smoky eye effect! HAHAHA! It's not easy to apply these effects to the eyes, but if you really managed to do that, your eyes become really seductive. HAHAHAHA! A good example is Tyra Banks (ANTM). 

The workshop has a small cosy setting, with a total of 7 persons and each of us are able to use the wide range of makeups to doll ourselves up! :) We're were first show how to apply the different style of makeup (on 1 side of our face) and after that we've to apply the other side ourselves. Lots of hands on, and there's are always a lady there to guide you. :)

These are some (there's much more) of the eye shadows colors and lip glosses that we can use to try out on our face. LOL! You just don't know which color to choose from. :)))

Something unique about Anna Sui's product is her delicate casings with all the beautiful cravings on the boxes and vivid colors amid all the black colors.Alright, I know it sound funny, but then if you seen a Anna Sui's store, the whole concept is already different from others. :))

Sis N myself, after finishing with our eye make up :) And of course with Michelle, the makeup artist who taught us the 3 different styles of applying eye shadows! :) Lovely lady!

Right after the workshop, it's quite obvious we're so excited buying some of the products home to practice more. SHOPPING! HAHAHAHA! Indeed, we bought quite a number of colors, but then it's worth it because there was a special discounted package for us to choose from.

2 different packages :) With all the basic necessities :)

 

A little goodie bag for all that attended the workshop :) I just <3 the bottle! ^_^!!!

And a limited edition Anna Sui's tumbler, for joining them as member :)))

And off I went with a pretty face fo rmy birthday celebration! :) LOL!

**I'm so excited to tell you guys more about the Phuket trip! Only 1 word to describe it: FANTASTIC!**
