I am so refreshed after coming back from Phuket. I can't help but to keep looking at the pictures i took... so share with you some of the highlights, i will update with more details when i have time.
I nearly kena stopped by the singapore custom and before reaching Phuket International Airport, i kept praying to God that the Phuket custom will let me pass thru... hmmm... cos i did not update my photo on the passport. The photo on my passport currently is my Sec1 photo... cute!
Patong, Phuket.
The traffic lights have a countdown system.. i think its quite good for the drivers to judge whether they want to chiong across. (lots of high voltage cables hanging around!)

Parasail
( My first time doing this also... the vest is tightly fastened to my body, with the parachute hooked to the vest. Once ready, the speed boat will start pulling the rope and i started to run along the shore and suddenly, i am off the ground... the wind speed is strong... nice scenary also! was afraid my specs would get blown off..hee! )
