Thailand -- James Bond Island Phuket

My previous trip to Trang Thailand was almost 3 years back...indeed this Phuket visit was not a holiday trip but rather a "two days" outrun...

Since that time was constrained, we must plan for things to do and must do first...in which were tomyam food...massage....and also the sea and beach (not bitch)...

First day upon arrival, half day was spent for city tour and also "waiting"...waiting for the "late van" for airport transfer...waiting for the "late tour guide" probably overslept...waiting for other tour mates...the arrangement between AirasiaGo and the local travel agency was rather poor...

Well, basically the city tour was just sitting in the van and looked outside the window... plenty of hotels, restaurants, massage centers...."yes, we saw".... the tour guide briefly introduced the places we passed by...but none I could remembered...then we stop at a few places which typically selling goods like souvenir, pearl, jade... luckily it was just the first half day....

Right after the so-called city tour, we walked around the shop lots nearby at Patong...and finally we entered a biker's bar for dinner...the environment here was good...and the decoration was very interesting with all the biker's accessories and collections...

However, the food was not so satisfying...we were expecting some real "hot and spicy" in Thailand, but what we got here was the taste for white only...anyhow, it was still a pleasant dinner...

Day 2, we went for James Bond Island with canoeing package.
The weather was just nice after rain and we were very much enjoyed canoeing, swimming, singing, beers, laughter and not to mention the lady boys performance was so entertaining....

Dinner, for this time, we go for road side stall...and yes, we got our very best Thai food here...seafood tomyam, dried fried pork curry, squid salad and some grilled meat balls...

Yumyum...out of imagined, the squid salad was the hottest among all other dishes we ordered...my friend love it the most...while I drank two cans of ice coke for it...

After all, we went for two hours full body Thai massage plus facial treatment...so comfortable and slowly I closed my eyes...hmmm....zzzz....

Next thing I know, I found myself in the lecture hall again...arrgh...

Butterfly by Olivia Ong and Mirai Girls

是我在你身边我还不懂
What are you thinking I don't know
无法看懂你无情的心态
Baby please learn in my eyes
我懂我的魅力还是不够
What do you want now I don't know
在你心目中我是否还在
Won't you give it one more try
我们是否已经走到爱情的终点
But you keep it to yourself
不必说已经太明显
Any know that you I gonna leave me anyway
I can never make it stay
何必再拖延时间

Flying butterfly, it's gonna be alright
别伤心，just go, I know 我只需要一点时间
Flying butterfly, I need strength to go baby
fly fly 飞向你要的空间

已经到了分手的时候
What are you thinking I don't know
也许你开始感到内疚
Too late baby,快放手
也许我看起来潇洒
But what's still I wanna say I love you
也许我们还能做个朋友
all you do is break my heart
我们已经走到了爱情的终点
But you never understand
不必说已经太明显
Any knew that you but gonna leave me anyway
I can never make it stay
何必再拖延时间

Flying butterfly, it's gonna be alright
别哭泣，just go, I know 我只需要一点时间
Flying butterfly, I needed strength to go baby
fly fly 飞向你要的空间

oh~~ it's gonna be alright now
oh~~ fly baby

Flying butterfly, it's gonna be alright
别哭泣，just go, I know 我只需要一点时间
Flying butterfly, I needed strength to go baby
fly fly 飞向你要的空间
Flying butterfly, it's gonna be alright
别哭泣，just go, I know 我只需要一点时间
Flying butterfly, I needed strength to go baby
fly fly 飞向你要的空间

Batu Ferringhi Penang

Penang holiday hotspot -- Batu Ferringhi.

Long seashore and the most strategic place to see sunset in Penang...

Though I have visited plenty of times... the same place but always different feeling...a lot of memorable happenings here...my birthday celebration was here...conference was here...sweets and tears were here too...
and also occasionally accompanied visitors from different places...so as this time...my honorable guest from 珠海...

Saw some new angles of Batu Ferringhi through her "eyes"...

Realized I am so blessed...can just bump into the sandy beach simply anytime...until it was nothing more eliciting...

Learn to take it as brand new experiences...and keep on the youthful synergy...haha...felt like 8-teen again

Water sports at Batu Ferringhi: Para sailing, jet ski, banana boat and more...price around 15 to 200 MYR...need to bargain for good price...

Looking for a smart phone that looking smart -- Samsung Galaxy S II

"Design appearance...feature...speed..."
This is the sequence of priority when choosing a smartphone...

At first, I was thinking to have an Apple's iPhone...considering its brand and astonish design... but at the same time, struggle with its "exclusiveness"... hardly decided..."oh sorry, white color iPhone is not available in Malaysia =.=""...

So the salesman started to suggest other phone for me...indeed he critics a lot on iPhone 4...such as weak reception... not much different from iPhone 3's features except video call... but video calls only iPhone 4 to iPhone 4... battery easily get warm... can iron your clothes after 5 minutes voice call...brabrabraaa...sounds nothing good except its brand...and making me felt like a fool to buy iPhone 4...

Then Samsung Galaxy S came across to me...
Forgive my ignorance...I can't understand how LCD LED television can be related to phone... "What?! Samsung's phone?" was my first impression...
Despite its attractive features...I can't compromise with the word "SAMSUNG" printed so big and obvious on the heading...scared that nobody knows it seems...
So the deal off...

Perhaps Samsung has heard me...haha...
Samsung Galaxy S II with the heading wiped off...has very much cooler design and exciting features...
