Thursday, November 08, 2007 Phuket Day 2
Posted by Philothea` @ Thursday, November 08, 2007 | Today is the best day of this holiday so far! =D
1st day of LC and it's really really GOOD! The hospitality is superb and impressive. I've learnt much and I'm certainly very inspired by the conference. I shall share more when I return. Hoho.
Anyway, we were given a 4-hour break today so it was free and easy.
Chantel and I signed up for the snorkeling tour. It's so fun! Especially when it's organized by the LC organisation and traveling with all the Hope people from all over the world. Woohoo! Made a lot of new international friends today and bumped into quite a few familiar faces. Some of them even remembered me from my 1st trip to Thai camp. I don't really know them but it's just a warmth feeling altogether.
And it's such a great day! My 1st time talking to Chantel; my 1st attempt at snorkeling; my 1st visit to Phuket; my 1st trip to LC - so many 1st times this trip. YAY! I’m lovin it!!!
I've got to get back to work now. This is when it sucks. I'm exhausted already and seriously running out of creative juices. Aye. zZzZzz. My camera isn't working anymore. Think it got wet at the beach =(
Wednesday, November 07, 2007 Phuket
Posted by Philothea` @ Wednesday, November 07, 2007 | I'm online again; check mail and get started on scripting the remaining voice-overs for TNT Ep 5.
Actually, I just feel like sleeping now =(
Anyway, today was a rather interesting day cos it's was the 1st time – flying on a plane, all by myself even though it was just a domestic flight from Bangkok to (join the rest at) Phuket. I had arrived too early at the airport which made me really bored. Yaoguo was nice enough to wait for the cab with me till the driver came to our hotel to send me to the airport. They (yaoguo, jerel, qianjin & small gwen) are flying back to Singapore today and I managed to ease my burden by dumping one hand carry baggage with them. Hoho. By the way, I truly enjoyed having them on this trip, fun & loving! =) Thanks!
Wasted quite a lot of time waiting for people today. We all took different flights. I waited for Ps Jeff and Claudia to arrive at the Phuket airport so I could hitch a ride with them. They've special privileges. Hehe. Maybe it’s risky to take a cab on my own in a foreign land? I was mistaken to be their daughter. LOL. That would mean that Claudia gave birth to me when she's 14?!
1st time, 1st day at Phuket – nice! It's such a beautiful place.
Visited Patong beach with ziying, joy, tingting & joyce.
(yummy lunch + shopping + thai massage + comb the beach)
and it was a pretty good catch up session with ziying over breakfast & lunch. I'm beginning to appreciate thai food more and more! (except for the pork)
So sad, I missed snorkeling with the other group!
I realised I took very little photos on this trip. Haha. Feeling ugly.
I better get back to work now and get it done asap so I can join them for a drink at shirls' room. Hehe. We wanna do more stuff tonight but we have to be up early tmr. There’s a welcome party at 7AM but think we’re going to give it a miss? LC starts tmr, exciting man! It looks quite happening. I wanna be soaked in learning the truth =D and hopefully stay awake.
Monday, November 05, 2007 3rd day at BKK
Posted by Philothea` @ Monday, November 05, 2007 | 3rd day here in BKK with ziying, tingting, both gwen, jerel, qianjin, yaoguo and some of the awam p'ple.
Haven't been sleeping and eating well; had a nightmare on the 1st night.
I hope the days ahead will get better.
Attended POP last night and here's a glimpse of it:
We were rather lost at first till they finally sang in English. Still, it was good.And here's a random pic taken while shopping:
The puppies are only 1 month old, so adorable!SHOPPING LATER!

Posted by Philothea` @ Saturday, November 03, 2007 | I hate Air Asia; flight delayed for more than an hour =/
So here I am, stuck at the airport, munching on a Subway cold cut trio now while trying to catch up with work. Brain's dead now. It's dreadful to think that I can't go on a holiday with peace cos work still has to be delivered. And the less than 2 hrs of sleep has caused me to be nausea during lunch.
It has been such a challenging and trying week especially on Halloween. So bad, I thought, that I can't stop tearing at the end of the day. I was almost in tears on my way to CG and I just held back all the way till the night.
I'm flying off this time to Bangkok AGAIN, for the 3rd time this year (shopping + attend POP) and visiting Phuket (attend LC) for the very 1st time!
I hope to be refreshed through this trip and return with a renewed mind =)
THANK YOU MUMMY, LAYS, SHUZ, LOVE, JIANCONG, STEVEN, PUAY, EMMELINE, JACOB, CHRIS, MATTHIAS, JD & WEISHAN for all your messages before my departure! I'm really touched by some of them...Love you all!
