黄昏

终于来到工作的最后一天了。

每一天的行程几乎都一样。

早晨到巴士站搭车到公司附近，然后用早餐。我们住的serviced apartment前面也是渡轮站，所以也有一些工作人士搭船到这一站再转巴士到工作的地方。

早餐不外乎是咖啡和土司，有厚的，薄的，各式各样的土司，还有不同的配料，价钱也大约AUD$5-$10之间。 但连续几天下去，开始想念平时吃的包子，椰浆饭，炒米粉。。。午餐就在附近的小贩中心解决，价格不便宜， 也要大约AUD$10左右。

工作到大约5点钟左右， 同事们开始陆续回家了，巴士6点之后不再穿行， 许多商店/餐馆也开始关门了。晚餐也挺麻烦的，选择也不多，大概AUD$10++, 西餐为主，pasta, 肉类， 再搭的士回去。虽然住的地方有厨房还有煮食的餐具， 但要特地去买材料，烹煮也很花时间，所以还是餐餐外食。

周五，同事带我们去唐人街吃饭，从公司原来有另一个捷径可以回到我们住的地方，凉风习习，走过花园，很悠闲，一路走到港湾，到luna park, 可以看到对岸的白色歌剧院， 我们搭船到darling harbour, 在走路到唐人街。darling harbour 可比north sydney热闹多了，6，7点，大大小小的餐馆，pub 挤满了人， 听说用餐也不便宜呢。 虽然走路很累，不过也很舒服， 很放松。唐人街星期五还有night market, 也是挤满了人. 我们选了一间中餐馆, 难得可以在悉尼享用中餐,大家都很开心呢, 吃着,聊着,大约9.30之后,我们才搭火车回饭店.

因为A380早上9.40am的航班被取消了,所以我们被安排到下午4点的飞机.

终于可以回家了..

早安

早安悉尼，不会太热的夏天，3个小时的时差。

太阳公公特别勤力，6点天空已经是亮亮的，把我唤醒了。天啊，新加坡才凌晨3点而已。阳光洒进房间，窗外是漂亮 的港湾。一艘艘白色的帆船，不知是属于那个有钱人的，健忘事件5，没带相机呢。美丽的悉尼大桥就在眼前，还有白色的歌剧院。垂钓的老人不知今天收获如何 呢？

早餐，是厚土司和cappucino…超慢的网速很让人抓狂咯 -_-”’

In Sydney

Wake up at 5am n rush all the way to airport, traveling for work again. Colleague reminded me of the converter, oops, how could i forgot? The price for forgetful, $5. Forgetful item 1- forgot to purchase insurance, item 2- forgot to bring converter.

Had 2 meals, 3 movies, touch down Sydney at 6pm. Had some miscommunication with the taxi driver, can’t really understand what he meant but lucky can reach the right hotel. Next, we only found out when the receptionist told us we got the wrong booking date, which is 1 month later. Both of us also didn’t double check, so careless. We got d option either to share room or move to another hotel. We decided to change to the serviced apartment, 2 rooms with living room, kitchen. Just further from office. It is just beside the harbor, really nice view n relaxing. Forgetful item 3- didn’t check accommodation date, item 4 – forgot to bring cleanse! N just found out d serviced apt do not have air-con, never stay a non-air con hotel before lo. Hopefully the following days can turn out better la.

Phuket Day 3

Day 3:

Woke up early in the morning to wait for the driver to pick us up around 8am.
The driver reached about 15 minutes later and still going to other hotel to pick up other passenger.

After reach the terminal, the tour guide brief us on today activities. We rented 2 pairs of flippers and took the seasick pills before boarding. We are taking speedboat to Phi phi island. Our tour guide introduce himself as “Beyonce”, so funny lo. The boat is equipped with drinks, so actually we no need to bring our own water bottles.

The sky is clear blue, nice weather, the sea water is also clear. We stopped at Phi phi island, we were given 30 minutes to look around at the island. The Island become famous as Leonardo Dicaprio movie was shoot here. Among all the passengers, the middle east couple always late.

Going back to our boat after time’s up, the boat set off to other attraction point, tour guide explain to us some of the scenery and attraction on boat. There is one Viking cave, currently bought by company, so we are no longer allowed to go in. Apart from that, we also given 30 mins for snorkelling. Can’t really see corals, but the water is quite clear. A lot Corals has been destroyed during tsunami, time flies, it’s already 6 years back it happened.

After the snorkeling trip, we set off to the last attraction point, Khai Island. It’s a small island with colourful umbrella, we got to rent a pair of chairs, cost 150 baht. We spent 1.5 hours there for relax, the tour guide and his crew set up a small counter to prepare fruits and drinks for us.

We play in the water awhile, then sit at our chairs to enjoy the drinks. A lot people just lay on the beach for sun-tan. Most enjoyable part of the trip.
On the way back to Phukat island, the tour guide sang a few Beyonce’s song for us, wasn’t that perfect vocal but quite entertaining.

我胆小地对自己说就是这样吗
我是你眼里的太阳也是你影子里的悲伤
我问我这世界是否一如往常
让我照耀你安息的时光

你是我小心维护的梦
我疲倦地享受着谁也无法代替的光芒
我是我一碰就碎的太阳
我热切地希望能在消失之前得到信仰

我胆小地对自己说就是这样吗
我是你眼里的太阳也是你影子里的骄傲
我问我这世界是否一如往常
需要我在拥挤午夜发光

你是我小心维护的梦
我疲倦地享受着谁也无法代替的孤傲
我是我疲倦流浪的太阳
我热切地希望能在消失之前得到信仰

你是我小心维护的梦
我疲倦地享受着谁也无法靠近的孤傲
我是我疲倦流浪的太阳
无法为自己无法为谁停止下来

我是我一碰就碎的太阳
我热切地希望能在消失之前
得到得到得到信仰

Phuket Day 1 & 2

Day 1:

Taking Jetstar from Singapore to Phuket, takes around 1 hour & 20 minutes.
Most of the passengers are Angmoh, not so many Asians.

At first, we wanted to take cab cost 600 baht, then the staff told us the minibus is 150 baht per person, so we decided to take the minibus. The only thing we have to do is to wait till enough people then only set off.

It took around 1 hour then only reach our guesthouse, on the way they also drop off passengers to other hotel. The guesthouse is quite convenient, near to the main street and have a convenience mart downstairs.

The staff blur blur one and doesn’t speak English well, spend some time to re-confirm the room and number of days we stay. Finally get the room key, it is on the 4th floor, without lift, quite tiring to walk with the luggage. Simple breakfast is included, but only ate on the last day of stay.

Quite spacious and simple room, nothing much to see from the window, 500 baht per night, can’t be expecting too much. After put down our luggage, we went down to walk around and familiarize ourselves with the environment and bought some drinks and snacks to bring back.

Day 2:

Wake up.
Walk to Jungceylon, the nice shopping mall in Patong area. Had lunch at Fuji restaurant, the food not that nice actually but it’s quite crowded. After meal, walk along the street and finding the tour agent for the tour package. Asked a few tour agent, price is high and the people seems doesn’t want to bother us at all.

Finally, we found the agent recommended on website and we decided to take the Phi phi island & James bond island package from him. Then we took the Fantasea show package from another agent which offer cheaper price. Initially we wanted to watch at night but only to found out that it close on Thursday, so can only watch on Friday.

Hanging around the town area for quite sometimes, we decided to go back to Jungceylon, cuz it is hot out there. And to fill up our night event, we bought a pair of movie tickets. If follow tours, definitely we can’t anyhow change our plan, haha.

Their cinema is charge by different seat type not the movies. The theater is big but only 5 of us inside watching the movie called “Legend of the Guardians”. And we have to stand up as they will be singing the national anthem before the movie start.Movies is overall ok, nothing fantastic.

After the movies, went out dinner at No.6 restaurant, order some local foods, price is cheap, taste ok too. Ended our day 2 in patong.
