Macau + Zhu Hai + HK (Teaser)

Almost 2 weeks time since I came back from Macau + Zhu Hai + HK trip... I haven't really got the time to arrange my photos because it's over 1k+ pieces and kinda busy of my work recently. But will arrange it and update the journey of my trip with you guys on the next post. :D

City Inn, Zhu Hai

Lake Toba

Few days ago, I received a souvenir from a colleague of mine. It's a wooden pen from Indonesia written there Lake Toba. Actually it's not really a souvenir, I guess... Just that he's clearing his desk because he got 'something big' to plan on... Lolx

For the sake of my curiosity, I tried to search online what the heck or where is this Lake Toba located. Surprisingly, I found out that it’s an amazing place which caught my attention.

An immense volcanic lake, Lake Toba is 100 km long and 30 km wide, formed by gigantic volcanic eruption some 70 000 years ago. Bigger than Singapore, it covers an area of 1 707 square kilometres, with a surface elevation of about 900 metres. Here, you can find the world famous crater lake, Danau Toba, located at the Batak highlands, roughly five hours drive from the city. This spectacular and fascinating lake boasts as the largest lake in South East Asia, with tall mountains surrounding it and with a large Samosir Island right in the middle. To get to Lake Toba from Medan, you can either use Brastagi in the Karo highlands or along the plantation route and Permatang Siantar.

Looks magnificent isn't it?

As a nature lover me, I'd definitely pay a visit here one day and capture this nice scenery with my own toy, D5000. (Sorry, I'm just simply love to advertise my toy). Lolx

Phuket + Krabi, Thailand - Day 4

Day 4, Today is our last day at Krabi. After packing our luggage, we walked down to the entrance to put our luggage aside and had our very first breakfast. To be honest, the variety of the breakfast here is rather less compared to Deevana Patong Resort at Phuket.

We were given an environmental bag each of us by the van driver. It's water-proof, but too bad it has a Tipa Resort logo on it. And I don't want to be the ambassador of the resort... unless they pay me to ler. Wahahaha. Lolx.

In the van, I requested the driver to switch on the radio rather than listening to his Ang Moh's (western) CD which I can easily listen in my country. But he told me there was only a CD player, NO radio ! Kanasai le... Hahaha. I wan't to COMPLAIN!

*P/s: Prae, If you read this... please upgrade your resort's van with CD player which comes in with radio. Better still if it's a VCD player. So that I can watch my newly bought Karaoke VCD... Yupe. I bought Ice Saranyu's latest Karaoke VCD album, 'With You'. Hahaha.

After the 2 hrs journey, finally we reached back to Deevana Patong Resort, Phuket. Checked in and freshen up abit before we went for our 1hr Thai Body Massage FREE by the resort. Actually it's not considered as FREE either, we exchanged the 'it' with our breakfast due to our early flight the next day. We had to reach the airport by 6:30am.

We headed to Phuket town after the body massage session.

Phuket + Krabi, Thailand - Day 3

Day 3, After having our 'rush breakfast', we started our Phi Phi island tour of the day. Only around 11 passengers in the speedboat including 3 of us. We sat infront of the boat to feel the excitement. The strong wind blew our hair just like crazy. But that was the fun part of it. Hahaha.

 

The 3 celebs can take photo anywhere even on a dusty truck mirror. Lolx

 

Awww... my hair is like crazy

Phuket + Krabi, Thailand - Day 2

Day 2, we checked out 6am in the morning from Deevana Patong Resort to transfer to Krabi. The driver was already waited for us at the entrance when we walked down. We felt like celebrities for letting the driver waited for us. Hahaha. Oh ya, I forget to mentioned, we gave ourselves a Thai name, Ice (me), Chin (Bryan) and Tata (Kathy). Lolx.

The 3 celebs (us) were so sleepy early in the morning. Therefore we took a nab in our luxury van while the driver drove us to our destination, Tipa Resort. Wahahaha~

As usual, we felt so warmed upon reaching when they greeted us Sa Wa Dee Ka/Krup !!! The 1st thing we did when we reach there was to find Prae, the 'Sui Jing Jing' we met in the Matta fair previously. Hahaha. Finally she shown up, and guided us to our Bungalow teak.

We need this 'Golf Cart' to fetch us to our Bungalow. Lolx

 This photo took by a Thai guy we met there and eventually we met him AGAIN on another island. FATE does bring strangers become friends. :D

 

 

Arghhh... the lens 'kena air'

 

The 3 celebs AGAIN! Lolx

 

Snorkeling in the middle of the sea

 

 

 

We were being brought to another island to have our lunch there. This was the place where we met that Thai guy AGAIN who helped us take photos earlier on. Of course, the 3 celebs (us) who loves to jump request his help again this time. Hahaha~ We had a quick chat and introduced to one another. Getting to know his named was 'Touch' and we even exchanged emails for further contact perhaps. Lolx

Love this photo very much. Very nice isn't it? Lolx

 

 

Had my 'Fried BBQ Corn' after my lunch. :D

 

The poser me... Hahaha

 

Photo took by 'Touch'... He must be feeling weird why Malaysian loves to JUMP so much? Lolx

 

 

Our new Thai friend, Touch

 

Chin + Touch + Tata

Rai Lay island was our next destination. It was very crowded with Ang Moh (westerners) compared to those previous islands we went. Surrounded by rocks making this place suitable for rock climbing.

 

 

 

At night, we had our dinner at the resort because it was included in our package. Prae came to join us for a little while for chatting. I have to admit we were to LOUD! We made the relaxing ambiance into a 'Pasar Malam' environment. But very fast, we controlled ourselves and started to behave like the elegance celebs. Wahahaha~

After our dinner, Prae and her 2 colleagues joined us for a night walk surrounding the resort. She was so kind to be our 2hrs Tour Guide of the night. Hahaha. One of her colleagues was so famous on the street there. She know almost everybody on the street, the salesgirl in the shop, the pancake auntie, some Farang owner of the boutique...etc. Lolx

 

 I bought this T-shirt after Prae's colleague bargained for me.

OMG! Can you see my face was so RED after the island tour?

Colleague A + Prae + Wee + Kathy + Bryan + Colleague B (famous on Krabi street)

Prae was so workaholic... She's working even when taking photo with us. Can you she what's she pointing? It's TIPA RESORT banner... Hahaha~
