itinerary: phuket, thailand on a weekend

last july, i hopped on a plane and took a 2-hour plane ride to southern thailand's phuket island. because i can survive a hectic get-away, i did it on a weekend! eva empathized with me and the two of us then became a tandem that briefly escaped our work life and out into a beach life.

i didn't wholeheartedly lay out any hard core plans for this swift trip because it would stress me out which was the exact opposite of what i wanted. i only booked us one of the chicest accommodation so far ever in my life and researched on our airport transfer to our hotel. the rest of our time was made up of whatever things that came along.

are you plain crazy like us who also want to do phuket on a weekend? here's what we did!

my travel notes: siem reap, cambodia

it's high time for me to end my narratives about cambodia. it doesn't mean though i'm tired talking about it but i fear that this would become a slow drag towards oblivion. i certainly hope not. i need these posts to fill in the gaps of my short-term memory.

the highlight of our stay in siem reap was the angkor temples and i already came up with a post on my thoughts regarding my experience -- that i wouldn't have to go back and get dizzy in an endless loop.

i'd be writing instead, about the other events that had transpired during the few hours that we weren't out scouring for the centuries old angkor temples.

singapore's 47th

this year, singapore's 47th national day fell on a thursday, a measly one day short before the weekend. the pictures that i had this day were my sole reminders that it was after all a non-working day and that i had a one day respite before my work week ended.

singapore's national day is every 9th of august, the day they commemorate their freedom from malaysia. so hurrah for 2013, the 9th will fall on a friday!

NDP's Fireworks as seen from The Fullerton Hotel

before i continue on with my photos of my incidental encounter with ndp's fireworks, i'll start first of where i had been at the start of my day.
