Memories

When I mooted the idea about the Guys going on a holiday together, frankly speaking I thought in my heart that chances are it wouldn't work out, as we frankly have a very high level of inertia and indecisiveness (witness our subconscious circle forming when we have our outings) but in the end it worked out alright. It was a great 8 days with nick adrian fabian murugan and junseng. We sure took away a lot of memories and funny incidences from our trip. I don't really want to post a blow by blow account of what happened, so I'll just write a few phrases on the more interesting stuff that happened.

Budget terminal's kopitiam
Electronic scanning of passport ala MRT gantry
"Tiger airways is proud to get you to your destination ahead of schedule... Again!"
Mangled names (tai yang)
Everyone is named Frederick from now on
Wearing jeans to board a boat is a bad idea
BBQ barracuda
Railay Viewpoint Bunk, err sorry Hotel
Fisherman and Healthy breakfast
Writing ORD Loh! in the sand
Standing on a tombolo with the sea water to your knees
"Help! The fish are ruthless! They're molesting me!"
Coastal formations that were a geographer's dream
Placid tom yam goong
Boat rides in the dark
Kayaking around the mangrove regions
Runaway crabs
Pineapple bonanza
Monkeys doing it like on the discovery channel
Loanshark "All of you give me 500 baht now!"
Tomcats
Cliffsman
Lack of hot Scandinavian babes
Climbing without shirt and slippers to reach the viewpoint
Having to carry our luggage across a silt filed beach at low tide, losing footwear as a result
I hereby categorically deny that we went for a massage
12 hour bus ride to Bangkok on VIP bus
Watching bootleg version of Rob-B-hood on the bus
Ammonia smell in the bus

Reaching Bangkok at 0430H
Unexpected pick up
Pink cabs
No ESPN in the hotel room
Random mandarin MTVs
Discovery Channel
Shopping at MBK
Shopping at the weekend market

"I hate shopping! Wah you guys are like girls man.. 5 days straight shopping!"
3500 baht for dinner....Ouch
"Thai girl show?"
Jewel boxes cascading down
"Student! No money! 3000 baht!"
Under the big zidane poster
Going to the "Palace"
"Sexy lady?"
"If you find a Norwich jersey, I would buy it for you."
"Newcastle jersey?" *smirk* "Newcastle small team! Whole Bangkok no have jersey! You want Chelsea jersey?"
Eating at A&W

Will add more if I remember. I need to see the photos to remember some events. And for what it's worth, I think the Krabi portion was more happening than the Bangkok portion, so Guys let's do another sea sand sun trip soon!
