♥ 9:42 AM
yoz! im back! so here's an update on wad i've been doing these 3 days in phuket...(warning, it's gonna be a little long)first day at phuket..had a walk around e island. felt it was kinda boring. and dere was this guy who asked me for a handshake. freaked me out sia! do i look like i wanna make friends with him!? and all e while my geog cher has been telling e class dat e thai people are shy and reserved, and dat e tourists are making dem feel uncomfortable cox they are from a veri open society, totally diff from e society which e thai ppl are from. okie, so our resort is on a hill. guess we're safe if a tsunami decides to come at night. hee! so second day at phuket, we went for a tour on one of e islands around phuket. we went to pi pi island which consists of 6 diff smaller islands. e bus ride to e jetty was long long long man! and e cruise trip 2 our final destination is even longer! it's 90min boat ride! so when we reached dere, we went for snorkling and swimming at maya bay and monkey beach. maya bay had nth much 2 see. all e fishes are e same and e water's too deep 2 see e coral reefs at e bottom. i had no idea dat snorkling was such a tiring activity! was struggling to stay afloat most of e time. haha! took me awhile 2 get used 2 breathing wif my mouth onli. den this guy came along. he's one of e tour guides around. so he told me 2 look inside and he swam all e way 2 e sea bed!! oh man! i was shocked! it's like sooo deep to me la! and he swam all e way down without even strggling for air! and he could even stay down dere for awhile! so while he was down dere, he signaled 2 me 2 go down too. so i tried 2 swim although i was realli veri veri unsure. he tried 2 grab me from where he was but already i was gasping 4 air. so he came up too and took me down wif him a second time. half way down i alrd nid 2 come up. so he pushed me up and i decided 2 go down 4 a 3rd time. so finally i went all e way down, quickly touched e coral reef and swam up wif all my might. cox even b4 i touched e thing, i was alrd veri tempted 2 breathe. so e level of my "not breathing" is veri low yea? haha! okie, so we went 2 monkey beach next. din see any monkeys as i din go up e shore. cox din have flippers on. but swam 2 e shallow parts and my toe kena cut by e sea urchins. *boo hoo*! oh! and jacinta got strung many times by jelly fishes. 2 parts of her whole hand was swollen with thinges dat looked like like 30 small mosquito bites all clumped together. looked like some kind of disease sia! yucks! okie, so e same guy dat brought me down at maya bay came again. he asked me not 2 stand on e sea urchins cox they can cut my feet. so he brought me 2 e deeper parts. and monkey beach's coral reefs are much nicer! he brought me 2 another area and swam down by himself. he pointed out a sea horse for me. cox i din wear specs, so i roughly saw e shape of it onli. den he brought me 2 a deeper site and swam down himself again. this time he pointed out 2 me nemo. but i realli cant see anything. cox it was sooo deep! den he brought me 2 a more obvious coral reef. and i saw jelly fish! and nemo! lots of nemos. haha!! and lots of other fishes too of cox. hee! den he brought me down into e water again. this time was more shallow but still kinda scary. cox im not sure if i can hold my breath. so down we went and i touched this jelly jelly thing! i tot it was a rock, but when i felt it, it was soft and sticky! and at e end of e snorkling, i thanked e guy and he said dat i looked pretty. hahaha!! cool sia! den we had our lunch and headed back for phuket! had big sumptous seafood dinner at e restaurant in town. had baked lobster with cheese, clams fried with chili, big tiger prawns fried with garlic, thai style steam gouper fish, and mixed vegetables. was filled to e brim man! lucky nvr become too fat! hee hee!so for e third day in phuket, we went for go-cart racing in e morning. e go-cart was going at70km/hr! cool sia! when i watched those ppl play, i tot i was gonna die sia! cox e carts were like "zoom"! den gone le! so fast! but lucky when i raced it did not felt dat threatening. it's onli this huge turn where i feel like im gonna fly off e track. hee! and my car skided at almost every turn la. shiok! hee! and e guy said dat i was a dangerous driver. haha! of cox la! wanna have fun ma! and i knocked off 2 of his tyres cox i went a lil off track. den after dat went for a swim back at e resort. btw, jacinta is crazy bout pool.cant stop playing. den drag me along somemore. now im like so sick of this game la. and mom gave me extra $1000 baht! yay! can shop again le! okie, so this is e end of my long long update! gonna board e plane soon le!
