Koh Samui

Went for course about creative and fell sick after that.. Went to Koh Samui Thailand to celebrate my 2nd wedding anniversary and also the 4th anniversary with Jerlyn together..

21st Nov 2010 Sun - Rotting at home again.. Its becoming a trend to rot at home now.. think I got to start working out again.. Getting fatter..

22nd Nov 2010 Mon - Went on a course in base about Creative and Visual Methods for Breakthrough Ideas.. Caught a cold as all the 3 air con and the 2 fans blowing at me..

23rd Nov 2010 Tue - Sneezing away as the course continue.. Was quite interesting as in we can use mind mapping for your daily work and personal work too..

24th Nov 2010 Wed - Couldn't take it and went to see the doctor with Jerlyn taking half way family care leave to accompany me.. How come I don't have family care leave? The medicine was so powerful that I ate and knock out most of the day..

25th Nov 2010 Thurs - Knew that early in the morning there will be a call to go back to work.. As I was sick so I just went back for 1 hour and came back home to sleep again..

26th Nov 2010 Fri - While I went back to home to sleep on Thurs the rest of the guys work 12 hrs plus.. After working for the 1st day of the week, I was having my 2 weeks leave again..

27th Nov 2010 Sat - Went to collect the stuff from Teck Tong at his house in Little India.. The stuff was brought by Jerlyn online and send to Shermaine and then send to Elaine then to Teck Tong then to us.. Went to Chinatown to change our Thai currency and also ate the famous Fish Head in special sauce.. Quite good but a little spicy.. Went to buy Koi as Chinatown branch doesn't have much people.. Old people doesn't like this kind of stuff..

28th Nov 2010 Sun - Packing our clothes and stuff in the luggage for our trip to Koh Samui.. It will be our 2nd wedding anniversary and also the 4th anniversary together.. Because our wedding date is just two days different from our anniversary..

29th Nov 2010 Mon - Jerlyn went back to work for 2 hours when she was suppose to be on leave.. Then she came back and we continue packing and went to Chinatown with Jerlyn's parents and 2nd brother before going to the Airport for dinner.. The flight to Koh Samui was about 1 hour and 30 minutes but they still provide dinner on board.. I was quite full so I didn't manage to finish it.. After reaching Koh Samui, we took the Airport Transfer to our resort and check in.. Didn't do much as was quite late so we unpack and turn in..

30th Nov 2010 Tue - Wake up early for our breakfast and went to ask about any tour around the island.. Went to walk around and laze at Starbucks.. Then it started to rain.. heard that it was the monsoon season so it will rain every day.. So we decided to go indoor we took a cab to Tesco and walk.. Tesco is like Walmart but smaller.. Went to MK restaurant to eat our lunch.. I ate it at Korat before but Jerlyn never tried it and she like it.. After Tesco we went back to the resort and rest and went back to the streets to walk again.. Came back to our resort restaurant to see the lady boys show during the dinner.. The Mango Ice Cream with Mango fruit and Sticky Rice is super good..

1st Dec 2010 Wed - After our breakfast we went for our tour around the island.. we book this tour for 3400 Baht which is about 150 dollars .. Our driver is a guy named Toto.. He drive us around with 6 other people in this 4x4 jeep to see the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks, saw baby elephant, monkey and crocodile show, tried elephant trekking, went up mountain road to the waterfall but didn't swim, saw the mummified monk in his temple, went to the magic garden which doesn't feel magic to me, ate at the restaurant that can view 650 meters above sea level, see how rubber tapping is done and went to see the Big Buddha which is really huge.. We miss out on the show on how monkey climb up coconut tree to remove the coconut due to rain.. Overall it was ok only.. Maybe our hopes was higher than we expected.. Jerlyn was saying that we should also try the water activities too but we didn't.. For dinner we went to restaurant called Will Wait Restaurant to eat.. Didn't wait long but also didn't make us wanted to wait either.. Just that they were showing movies so we didn't mind waiting..

2nd Dec 2010 Thurs - Another rainy day.. After the breakfast we wanted to go out for walk but it started raining again so we decided to move forward our spa and go out later.. 1st was the Hydro Bubble Bath.. so the massage therapist told us to take off our clothes and wear the special underwear they provided and go into the tub.. I heard wrongly and thought take off clothes go into tub come up to shower then wear the underwear.. so after the bath the massage therapists came in again and told us to get out of the tub.. then I know I make a mistake haha so the therapist took a towel to let me cover up and go shower.. next was the body scrub.. they give us the underwear again but Jerlyn found out that the special underwear was able to see thru it after she caught the therapist looking at my family jewel.. But the underwear was so comfortable and I think for Thai massage they are more liberal and don't really cover us up for easier massaging so I'm not complaining haha.. After the scrub was the body mask.. they apply the body mask on us and then use those transparent wrap to wrap us up like we are salmon haha.. After the mask was the oil massage.. Really good she really make all my muscle relax after that.. The last was the facial mask.. After that they massage us again as we were stiff after doing the facial mask lying in that position.. Then there was fruits and tea for us after the whole session..
It was really better than the Spa we took in Batam.. Worth spending 4500 Baht which is 198 dollars.. Because they really make us comfortable during the whole session.. Not like the Batam one where the shorts they gave me to wear was so uncomfortable and difficult to massage too.. That is why I feel that Thai massage is better than other countries in terms of comfort and skills.. After the Spa we went to McDonald's to eat and then walk the streets but it rained again so we cut short and went for dinner at this restaurant called Khaosan Restaurant..

3rd Dec 2010 Fri - After breakfast we pack and took some pictures before checking out.. We went to Black Canyon Coffee for lunch and laze but it started rain again.. so we run back to resort and waited for our Airport Transfer to bring us to Airport.. The Airport really looks like an Outlet in Arizona if mistaken because it doesn't look like a Airport to me.. Finally ended our holiday and went back to Singapore.. It was really relaxing.. 1st time didn't feel stressful as they wasn't much things for us to do.. We were just lazing around and relaxing..

4th Dec 2010 Sat - Wake up today surf some Internet and uploaded photos of our trip.. upload till vomit blood.. the uploading is super slow lo.. Jerlyn went to meet her colleague to gossip about the week that she was not in.. Jerlyn's Mum think that she is too free haha..
