A wonderful getaway to........Krabi! Yaay~


Finally...a long anticipated holiday to Krabi!
For 6days 5nights! Woo Hoo~~ And its so sweet of Tom to arrange everything.. From the booking of the tickets, accomodations to the airport transfer..
谢谢你喔!

However, im wanna protest here.. Why it is that guy don't understand that women like me needs :
a pouch for makeup,
another pouch for toiletries,
another pouch for facial stuff,
another pouch for moisturising stuff,
another pouch for body stuff,

To him, in his little world..his so-called toiletries bag (if you could called it a bag..it's actually a NTUC plastic bag) is basically just a facial wash, toothbrush/paste and shampoo/condition.. That's it! full stop! Case Closed!

He keeps saying that it really AMAZED him the amount of stuff i bring with me overseas..
C'mon, its not so bad..just a checked in bag, a cabin bag and a garment bag for a 8days flight..
Sometimes i even had to ask my colleagues to "long pang" stuff in their bag for me .
So anyway, Tom believes in "you carry what you bring".

In the end, i had to bring my bare minimum toiletries to Krabi else he wouldnt carry my bag for me. Sighz~

Off we go to Krabi with
Tiger Airways!!

I was initally feeling sceptical about the free seating arrangement but the boarding went quite smoothly. Thank god we managed to find seats together for both sectors.

Points to note if you are travelling by Tiger Airways:

1. Baggage allowance:
They are really particular about the baggage allowance
-7kg for hand carry
-15kg for checked in baggage.
During check in, we had a couple infront of us who exceeded by a few kilos. The lady at the counter said its either they repack the bag or pay for the additional weight. (steady steady! 我希欢!wish my company enforce this regulation as well..)

2. Eat something before the Flight!!
Eventhough they sell food onboard, it pretty much runs out very fast. Tom and myself skip our breakfast, thinking that we could have some food onboard. But when we ordered their gourmet sandwiches, it was already sold out! And we were sitting like just 10 rows from the front.
psst..and our dear Tom here got pretty upset about it. He even wanna write a complaint letter saying its ridiculous that on one hand, we couldnt bring our own food and the other hand, they don't cater enough food onboard! *Grouchy Grouchy*

Other than that, the flight went pleasantly..except for Mr Grouchy Bear sitting beside me..murmuring about his gourmet sandwich in his sleep...

On our way to the resort...

It's a boat ride, about 30mins from the main island...
(Ermmm...thats me! If you can't recognise the back view..ask the photographer! im not the one holding the camera *poke poke*)


A warm welcome...

Doesn't this remind you of times when the hotel want to inform the guests of the people getting married that day? They usually have somthing similar like :

DD MM YYY
Welcome to XXX Hotel
to the marriage of
Mr blah blah blah and
Ms blah blah blah

just kidding..I thought it was a nice little touch from the Resort.

And this is our Resort!!!

Where we will be staying for 6days!!
YAAY~~ nice nice nice
Its probably one of the slightly more expensive resort in Krabi. We paid like S$144++ per night
BUT what the heck! it's a well deserve holiday for me..
ermm..i mean us

*holiday, holiday* as how Madonna sings it

(hmm...i wonder whether we can stand each other for so long..hahaha)

It's time to hit the beach....


Kayaking around the islands ....
there's this lifevest story that i wanna share with you people but Tom might think otherwise ...so *zipped zipped*
我们的小秘密

Massage time.....
How can you go to Thailand and not go for Thai massage!!
and i absolutely love massage...letting your body relax after a day out in the beach
Bliss~~

Snacking time......
So much for going on a diet! But as mentioned earlier:
*holiday, holiday* as how Madonna sings it
Its a holiday...
Be free! *chomp chomp chomp* Blurp~

Food Time......
Nice dinner, watching the sunset in the distance (and this is where we found the bestest bestest tom yum soup and pizza..Droolz)

Before you know it...time to go home~ *sob sob*



I must say it had been a wonderful getaway! We could actually put up with each other for 6days. Yaay!! Its a small feat!
And the best part (as Tom mentioned) I didnt get mad at him throughout the trip...hahaha
Don't make me out to be such a tyrant leh

Im so nice and sweet..heehee

So as i was saying, it's like living in paradise..very layback kind of living
Everyday was spent stuffing ourselves with food, laying in the beach getting sunburnt, playing in the water, snorking, kayaking, watching the sunset together and enjoying each other's company. My colleague, Eliz mentioned that it sounded kinda boring. She prefer to venture out and explore the surroundings, eating local food and stuff.. Well for me, i guess that's what beach holiday is all about.. to just basically Rest and Relax.


I like to tuck a flower behind my ear..makes me feel very feminine and demure.. then i got Tom to tuck a flower behind him too!! heehee..See, he looks so so cute..

English word: Flowers
Swedish word: Blomma
