Phuket Trip 21st - 23rd March 2008~

My Company Essilor organized a Phuket trip over the long weekend... A incentive trip to be exact...
So On Friday, we had to check in at the airport around 4.55am.... mind u,i was real tired cos i didn't manage to catch any sleep....


Fion,the one that i'll be spending my 2nights with (@ the airport)


Jeremy,My NANNY for the next 3days~

We took a Jetstar Asia plane,and it was really cramp here cramp there,but nevertheless the journey was fast. We took off at 7am and the plane ride only lasted 1hour 30mins.


heading towards the tour bus after we landed...

So once we settled in our tour bus,we started our sight seeing...
We started off at a 4 faced buddha temple which is near the sea...
The scenery is fantastic..

Next we stop by a place for some elephant trekking , ATV and Shooting games...
Most of the colleagues wanted to try the ATV (actually i wanted to go for the elephant trekking but majority wins) so off we go.... actually it was really fun,racing around with each other but after everything ended,i found myself covered entirely with dust. And that was no fun...


ATV! here i come...


Essilor ATV Touring!

next,the tour guide took us to some shopping for local products, some cheap factory prices t-shirts. but by then i was already too tired,so i stayed in the tour bus sleeping my time away.
after lunch,we visited the Chalong temple (pride of phuket)...

We were given a map,some clues and off we go in search of the 6locations to complete the entire race in 1hour time... somehow through the middle of the game,i lost sight of my team leader,then found my team leader again and finally complete the whole race.. came in 5th but luckily not the last... haha

:P

2days in Tioman~ 8th-9th March...

Cheers!!!



had a short trip to tioman island over the weekend,to be exact its over at Salang Village.
its a nice quiet place with ALMOST nothing to buy/to see (unless u really love the sun,the sea & the beach :P )

On Sat (8th March), we set off to Malaysia at around 1am.... (10 divers + 2 non divers which includes me. haha) the stupid journey to Mersing Jetty will take us like nearly 3hours with no traffic jam. but luckily i'm the passenger not the driver so i manage to doze off a couple of times. but u know wat,the streets of malaysia is totally like pitch black lor,no street lamps at all unless u pass by those streets with shophouses with just a glimpse of light. then the road goes on & on,like its never ending....
At around 5am we manage to reach somewhere near the jetty for breakfast...
When we arrived at the jetty around 5.30am,there was already people waiting for the ferry (just for ur info,the ferry services starts at 7.30am!). everyone decided to catch some sleep while waiting for time to pass....


Everyone was real tired after the long ride...

finally the ferry arrived,but guess wat happen? the stupid people there overloaded the ferry then the rest of the people had to stand (how can anyone stand throughout the whole 3hours journey with the whole ferry speeding n rocking like hell?) but luckily for us,we manage to SECURE a place to sit down,guess where? its at the front part of the ferry where the boatman is at..... but trust me.its not exactly a blessing in disguise cos i got terribly seasick after less than 30mins,then i had lie down for the rest of the journey,i couldn't even have any kind of movement,any slight ones made me have the urge to vomit. Super bad start of my holiday!

around 10.30am, finally reached Salang village.


is it pretty?


the stupid ferry which made me seasick!


the little hut that we'll be spending the night at....

baby starting his shore dive just 30mins after we reach... super rush right? but i guess we don have much time too,better make full use of it...


the giant fins..... haha


Preparation for the dive~


the 1st shore dive~

baby went for his shore dive then i went back to the hut for a short nap and to freshen up too. don really like it though,the place looks abit rundown then feels like anyone could just barge in. haha!

baby came back at 2pm and the next dive is at 3pm. and the best part? i got to tag along... they will be going out in a speed boat to some other island for diving... So fun..


the 2nd dive (out in a speedboat)



baby in water....

and off he goes... deep down until i cant see him.... then i'm left on the boat enjoying the sea breeze... at some point i even doze off.....

but at least in the evening,baby got to spend some time with me.... we got to take a walk around the village...




the seaside the beach...


the scenery is fantastic~


baby & the beach~


look! the seawater is really clear~ i can see my own feet!!!!


super village feel right?

time seems to pass very slowly and i'm loving every moment of it.... the peacefulness and the sea but not the sun though (i'm simply covered with sunblock from like head to toe every moment i'm out in the sun)

Baby went for a few more dives on sunday but i didn't tag along,was kinda tired and i just stay in the room to watch my movies.... our ferry back to Mersing jetty was at 4.30pm... this time all of us manage to secure a decent seat and i didn't suffer from seasick this time.
reached the jetty around 7pm. and its time for another 3hours journey back to Johor Bahru...

Wee hours of the morning,finally reach Singapore
everyone was dead beat and guess wat?
i got to work from 9am to 9pm the next day..

wat luck!

but at least i enjoyed myself for the past 2days...

Cheers...
