Refer to the previous parts here: Part 1 Part 2

So this post will be my last installment on our Phuket trip!

9 September 2013

Disclaimer: This post will be filled with pictures of meeeeeeeee because I was having what I call a good-face-day which basically means that most pictures I take turn out nice! I wish I have such days more often!!

Starting the day with breakfast. I had the exact same thing hahaha

Love this wall soooo much!!

Okay so... for some reason, my camera sometimes changes to video mode on its own (creepy). And when I got Qf to take a picture for me it happened. Qf couldn't stop laughing at my reaction in the video and made fun of me the whole dayyyyyyyyyy. Like when I asks him to take a pic for me, he will say: "You do that pose first then I help you take"

Took many self-timer shots with Qf and all of them look weird/awkward lolol

Polaroids from the previous day! I love the sunset!!

Although it's not our last day in Phuket, we checked out of See Sea Phuket because I booked 2 hotels for this trip! I know it's abit stupid lah. Like because of the changing of hotels we can't book a tour for island hopping or whatever cause they all start early in the morning. But I loved this decision because the 2nd hotel is more than just AWESOME!

We moved on to Foto Hotel at Kata Beach. Just the lobby alone is already enough to amaze me!

This hotel is super modern and high tech. Even checking in was paperless and I filled in my particulars on the iPad. How cool

This bear sits at the lobby and everyone just wants to take pictures with it!

We were told to wait a while as they prepare the rooms so we just sat around people watching. What I realized is that this hotel is extremely popular with the locals. And thai people are SUPER CAMWHORE FREAKS. I think even I cannot fight with them because in public I will actually feel shy to like take pics of myself posing lah! But when you're here, you see EVERYONE just taking pictures like MAD and posing dramatically.

And.......... this made me feel so comfortable because I know nobody will judge me when I camwhore hehe

So when the rooms were ready, we were asked to get up a buggy. Because Foto hotel is located on a hill, we take the buggy to and fro our room and the lobby. Very cool and fun because it's really steep!
One There was one time this guy was driving us up, and he asked me "Do you want the normal, or the extreme?" Being me, of course i chose the extreme and he really drove SUPER fast!!! Gotta hold tight if not you'll fly off. HAHA super fun. He's damn funny. After we alight, he laughed and said "Next time we just stick to the normal ok?" HAHAHA

Behold.... the super nice room!!!

there is a huge bathtub on the balcony and it's so huge I don't even need to bend my knees in it.

As I've mentioned, this hotel is damn high tech. The lights are all controlled by a remote controller near the bed. There is no menu of the room service or whatever. Any information you need is IN the tv. And the Tv also shows our names! How coool!!!! I know such services are gonna get very common in a few years time but for now, I just think it's damn cool!

Rila has his own bed

Everything in the mini bar is FREEE!! wahahhaahhaa

We got changed and ready to hit the pool....

AND IT STARTED POURING. zzzzzzzzzz. I mean, I am thankful for the good weather thus far because ultimately it was the monsoon season but I just wanted to go to the pool so much! I kept praying for it to stop raining and I begged Qf to pray with me HAHAHAHA

So anyway, we explored the whole hotel and ended up at the gym. Qf, who didn't bring any sports shoes, insisted on running bare footed. Crazy guy. The gym was so thoughtful to provided towels and free bottled water. Such a sweet and thoughtful hotel :)

I was bored after trying out abit of every machine and I spotted these comfy looking sofas...

YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE RIGHT

And I kept praying and praying and eventually, the rain stopped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just look at this gorgeous pool......

And that's Kata Beach!

Stupid Qf made me do thisssssssssssssss (refer to video above)

HAHA at the 2nd picture. Something suddenly flew into my eye!!

Life is just awesome here

Act one model lolol

Stupid Qf insisted that I take a picture through the goggles and claim that it's very artistic?????? Ting tong

And I started taking self timer shots again. The wind was very strong and it blew my camera off 2 times. I didn't think anything was gonna happen

After this picture, my camera dropped once again and this time the lens was stuck!! I couldn't on my camera at all. I was so devastated...........

Thankfully, after a few tries, I managed to push the lens in and it worked. Phew! Lao tian ye has been pretty kind to me and I shouldn't take this for granted

Back to the room to change and we took the shuttle bus provided down to Kata Beach for lunch at a random restaurant

I finanlly made up my mind to do parasailing!! So after lunch Qf and I went to change extra thai baht for it

At Kata Beach:

I searched and searched for people with parachutes and to no avail. So I asked one of the owners of the surfing stall at the beach and he said that there's no more parasailing for the day. And he mentioned "come tomorrow" I DONT HAVE A TOMORROW HERE T-T.

And then I was so emo I did this.....

HAHAHAHAHA. Oh wells, we relaxed at the beach after that

Once again asked to do this pose by the irritating bf

Walked around and found my fav watermelon icecream!!!!!!

We also had some pancakes

Back at the hotel, we decided to play with the iMac at the lobby. WAHAHAHAHA SO FUNNY

There was a complimentary dish if we ordered something at the restaurant so we had our dinner there, although I was already quite full

Qf's veggie rice. He is so in love with vegetables I'm not surprised if he was a monk in his previous life.

And I ordered the club sandwich which was very yummy but I was sooo full after 1/4 of it. HAHA as usual

We took away the rest of the sandwich back and had it for breakfast.

The next morning, our airport transport picked us up at freaking 6.30am recommended by the staff. We ended up reaching the airport 2.5hrs earlier than our departure time and I was soooo grumpy. Why didn't the staff let us sleep a little more!! >:(

We chilled at Burger King before checking in for our flight. Qf started having diarrhea. Bad timing

Unknowingly the theme of the day is blue as seen on our outfits. We did feel blue :(
