Phuket Sweet + Honey = Over the Moon!!

It was supposed to be a honeymoon, but it didn't begin was happy as it was planned.. First was the MIL issue, then the SIL issue, and then, the delayed flight.. But then again, after all those, the entire trip was FUN!! We sure want to make it a yearly honeymoon as far as possible.. :)

Our flight.. Was suppose to depart at 8am, but there was a flight delay, and we only left SG at 11.35am.
See that "bo song" look?

After some 5 hours of waiting at the airport, we finally see our destination..

Thank god arrival and check in to the hotel was smooth.. Hb and me were greeted by our first name upon arrival.. Was quite a surprise!
And, the first thing he did when he got into the room was to strip and zzz for 2 hours..

So me went around to take some pix of the room. Our see-thru from the room bedroom cum toilet (at the other corner).

The full length mirror which i tried to take pix..

* Take one, suck tummy in.. But forgot to smile..

* Take 2, smiled!! But forgot to suck the tummy in... WTH!

OK, finally the man is awake and is ready to go jalan jalan... He's eating rockk melon with some weird sauce that is a bit salty yet spicy.. NICE!
This.. Some road side store that serves some nice beef ball glass noodles and seafood glass noodles. Hb quite like the noodles there that he made me walk 30mins under the hot sun on the last day of our trip just to eat it again. Not to mention we rode there on both Saturday and Sunday only to find the store closed on those days.
While eating, there was this group of "hunks" who walked pass the food store in just swimming trunks. According to one of the guys who offered us a bottle of beer, they were supposed to walk around Patong in this for a day.. :P

Well, Day 1 was pretty boring, since we spend half the time walking and walking, and eventually, we found a store that sells yummylicious fresh live prawns, so we bought 6 pieces, and they cooked and we "tapao-ed" back to the hotel.. 6 huge prawns for just THB138. That's approx to 6 bucks!

And some 10 fried small fishes for just THB29. That's approx S$1.50After finishing, we were somewhat not satisfied. Greedy people :P.. Cheap u see.. So had to head back and "tapao" more back to eat..
Since the time we returned was a super duper busy time for dinner, no one seems to "hew" us.. So we got sick of waiting, and hb helped himself with the "catching" of prawns and fish job.. Happy and satisfied, we headed to Carrefour to buy half a dozen of beer back too.. :)
Day 2 : Breakfast at the hotel.. Only remembered to take pix of this, and, the rest was gone before i could remember that there is sure a thing call CAMERA.. :P

A quick pix at the lobby before heading out for a dive. (No pix on diving since we didn't have a waterproof camera with us.)
Day 2 was 2 dives, so by the time we got back to the room, was tired and only had energy to get prawns and fishes for dinner before we made a dive for the bed.. :P

Day 3 morning, we had 1 dive and in the afternoon, we rented a motorbike and head out to Karon beach. :P
Us at Karon Beach.

Hubby in the sea..
Some pix i took from the beach.

After a while, he got up and we head off to Phuket town. Stop by a petrol kiosk to top-up petrol.. Poor man didn't bring along a towel so he was still dripping water when pumping petrol. He's still in his swimming trunk.

After petrol, we headed up to Viewpoint with some directions offered by the pump attendent.. Nice place that was pretty high up in the mountains..
And we headed to Phuket town after that..
At Central Mall, our dinner..

After dinner, we headed back for a bath.. My hunk is as cooked as the lobster even after me slapping so much suntan lotion on him.

Shortly after the bath, we were ready to head down to Phuket weekend market and, a surprise came from the hotel. A little piece of cake for hubby!

Day 4 : After breakfash, hubby wanted to nap.. So i walked to the mall which was attached to the hotel, had my nails painted (pedicure was a mere THB200 that was less than S$10 and medicure + spa was only THB500 = S$25). Went for facial for THB250 (that was less than S$15).

Afterthat, i treat myself to Swensens and a nice cup of coffee while burying myself in a book.. :)
Check out the price of the ice-cream there. If only the prices of the ice-cream at Swensens were the same in SG, i think it will be super crowded.
