Phuket - Day 1

After months of hectic working schedule, we finally had a perfect getaway to Phuket. On the 27th of April, we started our journey at 1pm where Thian and his girlfriend, Yiam came to fetch us with a pre-booked taxi. Off to the airport we went, this time we're flying with Air Asia so we headed to the LCCT. Upon arrival we met Thian's friends (Elly, Carmen, Song, Chris, Jackey, Eric) and we're suppose to travel together in this trip.

- First experience flying with Air Asia -

The flight journey took an hour to reach Phuket. Upon reaching the Phuket International Airport, we were welcomed by our tour guide, May-may. May-may is an agua (transvestity) but he, I mean she is a nice tour guide. She enlightened us with many many stories bout aguas. We were brought to our hotel, the Royal Paradise Hotel located at Patong Beach. We were so surprised that actually Elly arranged a Honeymoon suite for us, couples.

After wash up, we headed straight to the renowned Phuket Fantasea Show. The show was a giant cultural musical drama starring Thai cultural dancers, wayang kulit sifus, acrobat dancers, well-trained elephants, chickens, pigeons, tiger, goats, etc. We were not allowed any handphone or camera in the theater therefore no photo on the show. I would say it was a worthy show to watch because of the gigantic backdrop and casts they use. There was a magic/clown show in between the drama. Elephants disappearing, tiger appearing and all sort of typical magic tricks, but very entertaining though. For 1,500Baht we watched a great show and even the buffet dinner was included.

After the show we were sent back to hotel but we decided it was too early to call it a day! So we went for shopping along the streets near our hotel. We walked to the Bangla Road where night life is at it's peak there. There were pubs and discos all along the street where agua danced ferociously on the table. Even with good eyes you can't differentiate the lady from the lady-boys. After some drinks we headed back to hotel, exhausted cause of the hot weather.

Here I would like to share a few stories I heard bout agua, all from our tour guide, May-may:
  • Agua's Private Part
Agua's private part is not as flexible as women's. Meaning their part is limited by a certain size and depth. Most agua has to choose asian guys instead of western guy concerning the size of their assets. Therefore before they become a couple, trials had to be done to confirm the suitability. Agua's private part is plastic. It has no feeling, no whatsoever arousal sensation no matter what.
  • Agua's Hair
Aguas consume a type of hormone pill that allow their hair to grow reaching their hip in 2 months time. Most agua has long and beautiful hair, now you know why. Most men has hair on their face, facial hair. But for agua, they would not like these facial hair. So, they would go to the doctor and have them fixed. Doctor will scratch all over her face with knife until it bleeds before introducing laser to kill the pores. For a week, they had to endure agony pain on their face. After a week, they have smooth skin on the face.
  • Agua's Hip and Breast
Ever wonder why they have hip and breast as nice/nicer than ours? They have such injections on the hip and breast giving them a boost. In 2 hours, from none-cup to D-cup. Great? Even their nipples can be modified too! They could have big and fleshy nipples under doctor's modifications. They could even choose the colour of their nipples, pink? black? pink in the middle and black on top? you name it. -.-''
  • Agua's Life
Most agua, became agua because of poverty in their country. Being agua, you can earn much much more than being any other occupation in Phuket. Some have no choice and decided to take the painful route to support family and so on. Many agua has no true love story in their lives. Many were cheated off their money by men and later dumped them. As I mentioned earlier, they have no sensation at their private part. Therefore during intercourse, they have to pretend to enjoy the duration. In fact, most of them bleed in there if the men are too rough. If they bleed, they would have to go on repairing course from doctor.

- There are stories behind their pretty outlook -

After knowing much of their stories, I started to feel sorry for them. According to May-may, many agua pass away from AIDS and excessive operations or medications. What a weird culture they have. Sigh..

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled!
