phuket.

Phuket, Thailand 14/05/08 - 17/05/08.

a rather memorable chapter in the lives of 4 young men.

this 4.

shopping, massage, jet ski, bangla street, "okay what callaar (colour)", "tuk tuk", "free show", "agogo", "you name me best price", "masssaggggggg", BOA and elva hsiao look-alike tranvestites, the nam the pong and the nonggg...

its a motherfucking unforgettable trip in both the right and wrong ways.

chew's near-death experience with the jet ski. haha. i will never forget that look of trauma on his face when he finally hit the shore. and my own, adrenaline pumping all the fears aside as we invincibly cut the giant waves at full speed and flew sky high. landed on my neck unfortunately. a hard hit. but it was worth it.

BANGLA STREET! what is geylang compared to here man. free show agogo! i admit. raging hormones did bring us into a couple of showcases afterall. that cheebye thai fuckhead's attempt to con us on the first night will go down as a blemish to the otherwise eye-opening experience.

suzy wong still the best. haha. but thong's high moral values and loyalty to his supposed girlfriend was quite a turn off on that night. okay larh mood spoiler to put it more aptly. not like we are gonna home run the showgirls what right. just know your limits we thought. even chew's getting on a high eventually. wasted. no fun. not enough. but no way back.

and the countless irritating shopowners lining the streets with their super hard sell attitude came as quite a shock. it is a massive price war i tell you. getting a kick out of slashing absurd prices they offer down to an acceptable low. afterall its fake imitations they sell throughout in the form of polos, tees, jerseys. think we stupid ah. i give you best price... i say fuck you.

and the thai massage. so strong is my masseuse that i thought she had broken my spine when she came stepping all over my back. quite relaxing. but certainly pain inflicting at some parts. but afterall 250 baht for a one-hour session is nothing to complain about la. reasonable offer.

and then there's the swimming pool sessions, sun tanning sessions, walking around in slippers everywhere you go, singha and red bull singlets the common uniform across the streets. It is somewhat the ultimate relaxation in the form of resort-style living.

not bad at all.
