reLax from Samui

Yo I'm back!!!

4 days of total relaxation and fun just flew past.. wish that time could pause for me.

Ko Samui is a very slowwwww paaaaceee island. Being separated from the city buzz and stressful work never felt better~! For once, I believe all the junior gunners were suntanning in peace without having to think about any work or tasking from unit.

Conversation was temporary back to work on the 1st day in Samui. Apparently, we are not very used to not working? But soon Shimon put it to an end.

Jieren: Yah man the work we do is more than what we are paid for! . . . . .
Shimon: Oei! Stop talking about 160 la!!!

The village that we lived in was fantastic!! They were little huts dispersed in the jungle and the interior decoration was damn stylish and romantic! (too bad I'm single and my roommate was BONG!)

The Love Nest

What a romantic setting for 2 guys.. =|

But soon we realised the resort version of it was nicer! With lots more facilities and a nicer beach.. damn it we should have paid that $200 more.

Samui was all about letting our hair down and enjoy the scenery. Sunset and sunrise by the beach was fantastic. For the first time, I really saw the sun rise and set from the sea horizon. The sun formed waves of ray, completing the sun rays in the skies. The moment was so serene and calm, as though everything halted for it.

The six of us also feasted away from the healthy regime. With food volleying non-stop at us! A buffet where you are served instead of having to go around. And of course Shimon was damn happy that for once, we didn't ask him to cut down on eating! It is a holiday!!

Satisfied Shimon =)

When you can't beat them, EAT THEM!

There was minimal shopping in Samui and the price was kinda steep for most of the stuff. Only bought a sunglasses and a pair of socks. But the ride back to village from town was damn thrilling! I have never travelled so fast on a pick-up in a crowded town!

Trying to act like they are not scared.

So much fun to travel with the guys! Though Jeremy may not join us for anytime soon because he going to Australia for studies soon. Hey Wei Mei, don't forget us man!
