Tomyam-land!

3rd Street Cafe & Guest House

This is one of the Top5 pick for mid-budget hotels in Phuket from Lonely planet. And indeed is a great find for me!

Nice decor, great service and really great value for money! Can't wait to go back there!

If anyone happens to go there, please say hello to Kelly!



Oooh, yummy!





Drinking game which is pretty frustrating. Especially after countless beers... burp!



Mind battling game!



Well, well, don't be deceived!



Loud music, neon lights and sexy asses.



Joy ride!



Shell?



The brakes were exhausted! :S



Lost our way but found serenity.



Oooh, really yummy!



Sad thing is that all the corals are dead. I only snorkelled for 10 minutes and it gets too depressing...



Then again, magnificent view caught my breath.





Picture perfect!



Clear waters.



Heading towards paradise.

Just got back from my vacation! Seems like I've been away for the longest time. And don't feel like working yet now ehhehe...

For the first time, I was "unconnected" for more than 10 days. No internet, no gsm coverage!!! I didn't feel even a bit of uneasiness. Instead, I felt free and at peace.

Well, reality sets in again! Nevertheless, next few weeks will be a breeze (I hope!). Packing. Shipping. Farewells.

Now, the excitement starts creepin in slowly as the dream becomes a fact - A whole new living in Europe!

I will surely miss the sun!

Ma days have been passing so fast!

Been really busy! Projects, travelling, meetings, reports, visa application, cleaning, packing, reading, laundry, airport, laundry, airport etc :S

Didnt have time to take breather! I know I should!!!

Nevertheless, am really looking forward to this weekend. Its a long weekend! And I am off to Phuket (hols) and then KL (hols). And then Sri Lanka (work!)... :(

Just managed to post up the very little pics I took in Bangladesh.

Was in Bali last week for work too. But Bali is amazing! It captured my heart even for the very short trip I had. Its a land bursting with culture! I make a little post after receiving the other pics from Anita!

Remember, live every moments of our lives!

** She gives herself a knock to remember. She takes a deep breath and look far beyond the scenic view from her desk...

Hear her cry of innocence
Touch her soft skin
Watch the first flutter of her eyes
Hold her tiny hands
Tickle her little feets
Smile as her lip forms a little smile
Laugh as she gurgles

How beautiful and magical
How sweet and gentle
How pure and innocent
A new life is born

Yup, I went home especially to watch The Homecoming. Because my best bud, Ian was starring in it ;)

Firstly, Sentul West is absolutely beautiful. Especially in the nights, the ambience was great - silhouette of trees whishing in the night breeze across the walls of old buildings.

And the play was very good! I would say it suprised me a lot and made me very proud of our very own talents in my home country! Way to go, guys!

And of course, Pinter's work worked well into my mind. My mind didn't stop postmortem-ing the play, well up to now. Its just so intriguing and I kept on wondering of the past and the future of each the characters.

Nevertheless, the cast did a good job, lotsa efforts put in and I was glued (100% span of attention) to the entire show, trying to absorb every little words, actions, gesture and even the twitching of the mouths.

Afterthat, we went for quick dinner... See, we started on the beers even before the play!



And chilled out at La Bodega.









Joey, The Boxer @ The Homecoming




Mun, the story teller. I was concentrating more on fishing out the apple strips from the white Sangria, so couldn't remember the story hehehe...



Listening very attentively!



An outburst! I guess, it should be funny :S



Moi girls!



Oh, this I remembered cuz it was a very cold lame trick :)- Can money fly?



Then ring ring and she picks up. Rather irrelevant at all! I guess, the drinks worked us all up for a good laugh!

Except Daniel, who looked really puzzled!



Ah, sweeties!



All in all for the night!




Also, visited Alvin and had an adhoc kueh-mueh party (didn't stop eating entire weekend!). Kimmie is such a lovable bouncy furball!



Oh yea, am sure gonna miss this view from me work desk!
