This is Phuket's own version of Disneyland.

We heard the dinner ain't worth it, so we purchased just tickets to the show which included access to the themepark as well.

When: 4 - 7 Dec 2010
Where: Patong, Phuket
My first to Phuket and wanting to be in the center of action, we stayed at Patong. Indeed it had all the action, and nothing like an islandic getaway. The two just do not go hand in hand in Patong. The saving grace came when I hit the beach strip and tread on its pristine white sand...
My perception of island vacations should be idyllic. So in the 3 days I had, one was spent island hopping, and the other two bumming. i.e. street shopping, eating and massage.

Spotted at Jungceylon, she decorated the mall pretty this Christmas. Prettier than the stuff back home. To my rare few readers, Merry Christmas!

If I were to pick a must-do in London, it has gotta be catching a musical at the West End. I managed to squeeze 2 into my schedule - The Phantom of the Opera and its newly launched sequel Love Never Dies.

POTO was of course the well-known, well-loved and an unparalleled musical of all time. LND picks up the story 10 years later where the Phantom still yearns for Christine and lures her to sing in Coney Island, America.

I'm no food connoisseur but my philosophy is to try the good foods in Bali - while they aren't considered cheap by Bali's standard, it's at least a good half of the price for the same quality found back home. Here are some of our recommended eats, tried and tested.

Close to 6 years apart, we decided it's time to take a retreat in Bali once more.
Duration: 20/3 - 23/3
The trip came timely, as was much needed after a long week's meeting at work. This time we hopped on the villa wagon and put up at Seminyak, just further north of Kuta... which means a large part was chilling out and relaxing - we have covered most of the sights the last visit (long ago) anyway. Aside/ Prior to the trip, we almost went nuts villa hunting online. The multitude of options were just overwhelming with villas sprouting out every now and then and dotted across the island.
Kanishka Villa at Jl Kunti, Seminyak was the villa of choice. We were pretty pleased with the villa, their hospitality and its locality. Shops and food were at our doorstep, yet we were nicely tucked away into a lane, apart from the bustle. The pool in particular was Ed's muse - he was thrilled with his newfound playland and enjoying his little pool side party, aka a beer in hand by the poolside. Not entirely Ed, I had fun too, just that he maxed his fun out. There were times that I got bored or tired and just watched him monkey away from the comfort of the room. Now thinking back, it felt somewhat a zoo experience! I wasn't in Monkey Forest, was I?

Day 9, 6/5 Sun
The day being our final day in Tokyo, we decided to hit the salon
after much contemplation. I did a perm while Serene had a cut. Though
my curls lasted a mere 1-2 months, the nature of most Japanese hair
fixes, the salon had great head massages I must say! We went our
separate ways after that, as Serene had to meet a friend at Ikebukuro
and I didn't want to tag along as we've been there several evenings back.
