It's entirely different at Phi Phi Island compared to Ao Nang. You will still see long tail boats lining up by the seashore, but there's another beach on the other side of island where you will find a lot of tourists sunbathing on the beach, swimming in the sea, playing water sports & etc..



I was dumbstruck upon reaching the said beach at night, it's so packed with tourists and the music blasting from one bar to another on the same row, there's also fire show performances along the beach.. We found ourselves a cosy seat to lay back and relax.. As usual I almost fall asleep even with the loud music and bass system because it gets so breezy after! Oh ya, the drinks are dirt cheap too!





Thank God for the perfect weather and blessings throughout the trip, where I got to try things for the first time and came home safe with a better state of mind. Most importantly, I've never felt so pumped up to be back at work. This motivation better keeps going. x

Here comes the end of my longest 5D4N in Krabi.

I totally got lost track of time. Just love how life is so slow-paced over there, or maybe because my subconscious knew that I'm on vacation? Well, the right mindset always matters.

I spent 2 nights in Ao Nang, Krabi and another 2 nights on Phi Phi Island. I've always love Krabi because it's peaceful and safer(at least to me because this is my 5th time there.) & from Krabi, you can take ferry to any islands nearby or even to Phuket. However, year after year, Krabi has become more touristy now with restaurants & cafes selling overpriced foods—but all of their Thai foods are still yums! Nightlife is not so happening here. My favourite place to hang out at night is Longhorn Saloon @ Centerpoint because there's pool table and liveband performance, or you can stroll around the beach with a bottle of juice or beer, just sit on the benches, enjoy the sea breeze and call it a day.

This reminds me so much about 4 years ago. Same destination, same period different year, same old feeling but different companion. A trip I've been looking forward to, a getaway hoping to clear off my mind from all that dumbshits and distractions and just.. staying away from everyone who knows me.

Everything happened during our journey leave me feeling so unbelievable incredible vegetables. I did some of the things I never thought to have enough guts to do. I really went all-out this time(not the party part, though). Most of all, I can't believe how much fun I was having despite having to carry my heavy backpack & camera gears under the scorching hot weather looking for a hotel to stay.

This trip initially got canceled. I'm glad we made it happen.

This is my favourite place near home. And I definitely miss days like this! Another spontaneous hangout after late lunch at the beach last weekend, I just couldn't say no right? It's been the longest time I haven't been here.

It was a very spontaneous weekend getaway. We planned everything in just 3 days prior to the particular weekend. A very much needed short break & I've been wanting to visit Ringo's after years!

I'm having a lot of sentimental feelings especially tonight. I also have some thoughts about what made me become who I am today — a tough(I must say, compared to other girls) and independent person. I'm guessing it started when I was at the age of 15. Something happened to my family and it changed the way I see life so differently. At that time, almost everything seemed hopeless, but I was fearless because I realised I was the only one who can stand up for myself. It's actually something I've left forgotten but it strikes me today that it could be the reason why my personality is just so different from my siblings. I've become more rebellious and stubborn in many ways, even until today. I'm also the kind of person who can cry and laugh the next minute.

Well, 2014 had been well. I love that families get to spend more time together and all the regular catchups with friends that mean a lot to me. 2015 is like another new book, it's about starting new and fresh again. Saying goodbye to all the mistakes and regrets, I hope this year is a year that I can get to know myself deeper and discover more of the old happy me.

Goodbye to you, good bye to everything I thought I knew.
