Cruise to Phuket

Went for a 5D4N cruise to Phuket. Overall the trip was ok, not fantastic and came back with an overdozed of HBO movies. Some movies I watched like twice during the 5 days… Anyway 2 highlights of the trip were:

SNUBA DIVE in Phuket!
Similar to diving, but a much safer way. SNUBA is an acronym that stands for Surface Nexus Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Nexus basically means a bridge. Therefore Snuba acts as a bridge between the surface and the underwater world. Snuba is also a portmanteau word which combines the words scuba and snorkel. Snuba divers use similar equipment to that of scuba divers: fins, mask, regulator, and weights. However, the air tank commonly worn on a scuba divers back, is supported in a specially designed, patented, Snuba raft that floats on the surface of the water. They took quite a lot of pics for us underwater… so will wait them to post us! yippee… I can see how funny I look under the sea. :P

I have problem equalizing the pressure in my ears, so I kept swim back to the top. Really it’s big effort for me, cos It’s my first time under water in the sea! Haha. But it’s so exciting!!! Dun mind doing it again. Ed love it ofcos! Now he’s inspired to do diving… haha.

The other highlight of the trip is my “one try” in casino… I took $100 and placed a bet on the $100 table. So I either make it or break it, and the agony of anticipation is less. So there I went to the Baccarat table, and place my $100 bet on PLAYER. (After studying the trend for a while, and quite confidently it’s going to be such)… … so… the outcome, is BANKER… Went out feeling a little sad :( but wat the heck, it’s gamble afterall
haha

HRP getaway in Phuket


The HRP Phuket trip came and went..., and before I realized, the 3D2N is over!

Indeed it was eventful, all games were very successful and fun. It was so well organized that me and B was tasked with being the organizers for future Retreat. Haha… honoured but on 2nd tots, might not be a good thing, cos it only means we cannot take part in any of the events…. Believe me, it’s no fun see others having all the fun and only able to stand by the side and lead….. it’s so “constipated”! haha


.... Water bomb "THE Mummy"

But I managed to forgo and played some of the games as well, like the “bomb THE Mummy”, straw building, and project work…. Overall, it was fun and the venue was excellent!

... fav past time there, the pool.

Many of us were mesmerized by the place and didn’t wanna leave by the 3rd day…. It’s my dream house I have to say :D (more pics posted on my facebook)


We feast non stop there… the thai food they cooked for us is simply yummy…. The 2 in house chef that were stationed there were amazing. Hope to go again!
