Krabi '09

Hello people! I'm back... woohhoo. Sooo totally krabified!
I think all of us had fun and enjoyed this trip and i can't wait to get all the photos taken from my newly made friends!
I'm a bit lazy to blog, but i want to rmb the details. So.. here goes a lengthy post!

25 June 09
After having pad thai and some morning glory-turn-out-to-be-kangkong lunch, we begin our 4days krabi stay by taking a boat that was parked by the shore. Yes.. the first thing we know is we had to get wet in order to board the boat. And for the next couple of days, we spent more time in our wet attire than in a clean dry dry outfit. Krabi is b-e-a-u-tiful I must say. Huge stone cliffs, clear blue water, clean shoreline. Probably the worst thing abt krabi is the weather. Extreme hotness with scorching sun or chilling wind accompanied by relentless rain. Then we reached railey west. The beautiful side of railey.. haha! But our resort, the yaya resort is at railey east. The not-so-nice-krabi. Haahaa! Life is Krabi is just so laid-back. After checking into our resort, we proceed on to our beach activities. Er... Mermaid and shark, pikachu volleyball and built-the-longest-sand-route. I would say the first 2 games are quite lame. HaahA!! Some nuahing on the beach and we had our first dinner and KO.

Rinse and shine, had our breakfast, and off we went, set off for our trekking activity. Trekking was ogay, still manageable. But it was drizzling a bit, tt's the turning-off part. Mosquito everywhere, but well they didn't really bother me.. Then we are suppose to cross a small portion of the sea, alone the cliff. But the tides were rather high and currents were strong. It was kind of scary cos we saw a woman attempting to cross when the water is like chest level high. And half way through, a huge wave poured over, and we didn't see her after tt. O.O well.... And we also saw like 2 caucasian rock climbing. So IMPRESSIVE!! Peifu peifu! Imagine the first to climb have to pave the safety route. So we waited, and waited. And we ate.. Mango sticky rice!! Awesome! I'm craving for it alrdy. When we finally crossover to the other side, we began bouldering on the stones cliff, while the rest continued to nuah at the beach. HAHa! After bouldering, we took a slightly more challenging trekking route down. For the rest of the day, we went to prangnan beach where we are supposed to do our cliff diving. But it was too dangerous, so i climbed up the cliff to watch the rest. It's an effable feeling standing on the top of the cliff. Over there, there's like holes in the stone cliff that leads all the way down into the water. And apparently some other people who've tried going down left their ropes there. Continue to nuah, tried their bbq corn, played sandcastle building, freesbi. etc. Some got stung by jellyfish tho.. Then at night, we went to the bar to chill. Played finger guessing game with JJ. And he got addicted to it la! After finishing the bucket of beer, he insisted on buying another bottle to play. Super scary! hahaaaa, i'm kind of intimidated by his enthusiasm..

We had snorkelling activity for the whole day. Island hop from one to another. Visited the unseen land of krabi. Very interesting. We were actually in the middle of the sea, in between 2 island. But when we went down the boat, we can actually stand on the ground and the water level is only like waist level. Snorkelling was ogay, not really my kind of activity becos i'm a teeny wheeny deep sea phobia and sea-sickness. It was raining the whole day!! After cleaning up, we had our Letter K dressing up game. So we gathered around and some are alrdy dressed up as their respectively character. I brought stuff to dressed gareth up as mr kiasu, which i think the stuff i brought pull it off quite well. Hmm.. I was was dressed up as kinky batgirl, wearing his batman t-shirt, his jacket as cape and a mask. There's other interesting character ard too. Way too much kittens and kings. And we had derek dressed up as thai girl version of kate moss. It was hilarious!

4th day, we bidded farewell to krabi, and we heard off to ao nan mao pier. Took a van to another beach where we had our kayaking trip. Kayaking is damn fun! It's so much moreeeeeeee interesting than kayaking in sg. We kayak into mangroves and beside gargantuan stone cliffs. We saw monkeys, which jumped into kayak to snatch food. We had pineapple and watermelon on deck, freshly skinned for us by the local tour guides, when we were all dirty and wet. Then we had an elephant ride.. SO exciting as well! The elephant ride in sg zoo is nth compared to the ride we had. We went into forest, muddy areas, into fast flowing streams. We fed the elephants, saw them poo poo and pee pee as and when they like. After which we check into orhid grand inn, then we shopped a bit along the street. At night, we went JJ room to play again. He's so into the finger guessing game la. but we played another brain-cracking game in the end. It felt kind of weird. Cos I'm playing with JJ, gareth, kok siong, and trent. Yes i'm the only girl. The rest of the girls are chatting on the bed instead. HAhahaa.

29th June 09
It's the OT.OT day. We went shopping the whole day, although there's really nth much to shop in tha area. Stayed on the beach for a while. I think my hype up mood died down a bit. hahaaa, i preferred engaging in activity rather than having no aims at all. At night, they chilled a bit at the scruffy irish pub. But i din really have the mood tho. Prolly felt down becos it's the last day of the trip.

30th June 09
