one bed, one shower, one summons, one tiger... one island :)

"are there any pregnancies, maam?"

"no..... i'm just fat"

the girl at the airasia check-in counter at lcct asked me as we passed her our passports. maybe it was the dress.. hmmm...

kakcik, amin, my darling and i were on the same flight but dicky and wifey flew the day before on a different airline from singapore.

the flight to phuket was very smooth, i slept all the way except for the last 15mins before arrival.. and i woke up to an annoying middle-aged man who had a few machais around him.. he sat 2 rows behind us and was drunk. on the plane. rambling loudly (and i mean LOUDLY). we suspect he's a military guy who's on his way for a "funket" (fun junket) and we all know what a funket in fuket would involve right? (hint: full-service massage *wink*). the most embarrassing thing was that he was a melayu who drank too much beer on the plane in the middle of the afternoon and made a fool of himself. see now why i'm sometimes embarrassed of my own race? go figure.

so anywho, phuket in its essence is a beautiful island. but 'the land of smiles', it is not. the mat sallehs telah mengaburkan mata mereka dengan duitan yang banyak so they didn't even care about us asian tourists.. no smiles, just frowns. all of them asked us "where u from?" and once they hear malaysia je, terus they turn off. ciss...

...especially during shopping time. it was not an exciting experience to me. they open the prices of their goods way too high, thinking that we have the kind of money the europeans do and expecting us to either pay for it, or bargain for only a little bit and if we don't want to pay what they ask for, then they will tell us to shove off. jim's interpretation of the phuketians - "they are all out to get us". ya, out to get our money that is. a conversation with the locals told us that after the tsunami incident, businesspeople had to get loans from banks to rebuild their businesses hence the higher prices of goods.. profit margin is small and revenue mostly goes to paying the loans back.. oh well... if only i had this little piece of information before deciding to go, it would've saved us a lot of sakits hatis, right?

it was also very hot there, too hot for me actually.. i don't know if it was just me or other people also felt the same way, but the sunrays just bite your skin, totally blistering it. no matter how much sunblock i slathered on myself, i still got burnt. but it's ok. i want to show off my "tan" (read: gelap) to all and sundry ;)

dicky and wifey got sick from the tuk-tuk ride - literally, they got sick in plastic bags.. ewww.. poor things.

oh yeah we went to see a tiger show at this bar called a-go-go bar.. they had needles, bananas, pingpong balls, and smoked with their vajayjays.. there was a no photo, no v.d.o, no telefon policy so i cannot show anything to u as proof that i was there. shites. all i can say is that it was disgusting yet fascinating at the same time..

i felt strangely stirred and turned on.

*erkkk*

also, i ate a "telur belangkas" for the first time.. cools.

for our daily transport, we hired motorbikes and got a summons for parking at a zebra crossing one night. they, the people who ride in 3s on one bike and tak pakai helmet, nak saman we all? fuck off lah. tapi kena gak bayar 300bath to release the chains. cilakos they all. we were all gusto wanting to go for a massage right before that but after seeing the chains on the bikes, our spirits literally deflated but i went to get a mani & pedi. why worry when u can look preedy? hehe.

ok, whatever lah... here are some photos.. they are in no particular order whatsoever cos.. aku dah malas lah nak susun.. not an easy task okkay...
