Krabi Story

Ok i need a break from the 30 day blogging thingy. ok fine im just lazy to go scouring for a photo of me from this time last year. We came back from krabi 2 days back and im so wishing im back thrrrr!!! Its not so much that the place was amazing or anything- but not doing anything work related for 5 days was beyond awesome!!

Beautiful!

Phi phi was breath taking as expected. We took a day tour and was thrown into a speedboat full of european tourists and 2 indian couples with their 3 kids. The europeans were largely friendly and accomodating- but the indian family were far from pleasant. They didnt listen when the boat man was speaking, and as a result- kept us all waiting when the didnt turn up at the boat at the pre agreed time. I was pretty happy when the boat man told them off for being late :p- coz really they were so super annoying! a german guy seated next to me was giving me the nudge and pointing at them- nk ajak mengumpat boleyy??

Bamboo Island

I love the turquoise colour of the ocean

We went to a few islands but i gotta say, krabi looks pretty much like pulau redang underwater. They do have more pristine beaches, but the aquatic life looks very familiar indeed. Nonetheless, i had a lot of fun frolicking about. I love feeding the fishes with bread- we brought some from the hotel as did some other guests. However, i dont like having the fishes crowd around me. geli la. so i kept throwing the bread far away at other swimmers and was having a gleeful time watching them shriek and panic- till i realize thr was an awful lot of fishes around me! i splashed my limbs about bt they werent budging. then i realised why!! there was a mother daughter team on board the boat who were happily tossing bread at me while i was happily tossing bread at another couple. ok fine- karma brought me loads of fishies. haha!


The next day we went white water rafting!- era i love it too!! but there were soooooo byk other boats around that it felt like bumper boats. It was fun tho. People kept splashing water at me with their paddles and one guy even poured water down my back using his helmet coz i couldnt for the life of me work the paddle to splash back at people. All i could do was shout- "splash him yang!! the one in yellow!! ya and that one!! n yg tu!!". Useful boat mate i was...We were paired up with another couple from the UK. We were given instructions on how to paddle and i was all serious and ready to rock- till we reached a particularly frothy part of the river. I threw my paddle into the boat and hung on for dear life and from that point on- for the next 4.5 kms, all i did was hang on to the strap thingy and screamed- as did the other girl on our boat. we were basically dead weights la. But scary ok!

Barbie's ride

Two pink heads are better then one

Joy ride

Then we rented a scooter and went riding around the entire day. I went in to the scooter rent place and heard jj requesting for a pink scooter for me complete with matching pink helmets :) sweetumsss!!!I tried my hand at riding it myself- but hubster gave me all of 5 seconds of 'sorta-trying-to-accelerate' before he went- "xpayah la. no no. Ur def gonna fall n hurt urself. confirm!!". hurmph- so much confidence he has in me.

My angry bird giving jeep the eye

Painting in the park

We took a nice slow drive and stopped at a park where we sat down on little tables and mats and painted plaster of paris figurines. I painted a pink angry bird tabung for sabrina while he painted a tiny jeep. It goes without saying that mine look better.

Crabs drowned in butter and garlic

The BEST lemon steamed fish!

RM13 salt baked fish! delish!!

It was a wonderful trip! I We ate and ate n ate. Everyday i would eat this banana chocolate pancake thingy- its sooooooooooooooo good!! its basically our roti canai stuffed with bananas, stretched real thin and pan fried till uber crsipy and generously drizzeled with condensed milk and chocolate sauce. Theres another version which slathers nutella on the hot pancake. Heart attack on a plate?? i think so! well at least ill die happy.

All in all we came back darker, fatter, but def happier!! our next trip is to kota kinabalu in July but im planning to squeeze redang somewhr before kk. were also goin to jb at the end of the month to watch my bestest friend finally get engaged! then we have penang the week after. So many trips plus moving house next weekend. looks to be a pretty tiring few weeks to me! i hope evrything turns out good! oh and i may be a little late but- HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!!
