Club Med Phuket

I'm going to open the post with a very hilarious thing that my friend Onnella said in a three-way msn conversation between her, Liyana, and me.

onnella, ♥N forever. says:
iris isn't going to thai land.
where did you get that from
she's going to phuket
aha
tomorrow and coming saturday

Oh - my - goodness - dear child.
Onnella, sweety, I really wish you hadn't said this. Because now everyone can see just how adorable you are.. (or perhaps, how little informed you are of basic geography haha!). I'm doing this because I care for you, and not just to embarass you in the world wide web. I think you should learn more about countries or basic info on which places are where hehe - and you're in higher level IB geography! And you think Thailand is two words, and you thougt that Phuket was in Vietnam.. AND you thought Perth was part of GERMANY! Oh goodness, you make me laugh. (:
I'm almost too scared to find out what else you 'know' about our world.. But that's enough burning for now. (I lurve you Nella.) The point is, YES I AM GOING TO PHUKET, THAILAND. CLUB MED BABY!

Club Med Phuket

All I can simply offer is the generic and 'tourismatic' website video, for I have not yet experienced the wonder of Club Med in Phuket, Thailand.. But in my own words, I do know this. Every Club Med i've been to has been kickass and incredible. No, honestly! Whichever one you go to, you won't need to worry at all about having a good time. The room will be comfortable, the views 'incroyable!' The food will be delicious, the gentil organisers [or G.O.'s as they're more commonly known] are so good looking it's painful. Really.

So i'm faithful i'm going to have a great time, [as long as i'm with my family and we're happy, then of course it'll be woderful] and I can't wait to share it with you all when I get back. I'll be taking so many pictures that it will take 13049409384 hours for them to load and then put them on the posts. I'm just so terribly lucky to have this opportunity - to experience such a great vacation like this. Thank you Momee and Papee (;

Here's the video featuring Club Med Phuket - it's so cheesy but it definitely makes you want to be there!


What shocked me was that there was this other video on YouTube depicting how Club Med Phuket really was - dirty, old, and loud. It was appalling. It basically showed pictures of how dirty or bad-conditioned everything was in. A nasty encounter to reality compared to that of the sugar-coated touristic attraction on the website, as some people who commented had said. But, whatever it really is, Club Med is still awesome and i'm so excited to go. I won't let some video ruin my trip. I'm sure that it really isn't as bad as how they perceived it to be.*
I'll have to see for myself, right? You all [should] know me though, I try to look for the beauty in things - the good in the bad. So i'm definitely going to be focusing on all the good in the next four days, documenting and writing about them. You'll see. (:
*Alright so there is the chance that this will crash and burn and the whole trip will turn into a disaster. Or that I will find myself miserable, surrounded by such a dirty, loud, and bad-conditioned place. But I'm still going to stick to my positive attitude! Club Med Phuket here I come, whoo hoo!

OKAY. SHOUT OUTS. Here goes...
I hope everyone's been having a great summer! (And when I say everyone, I mean everyone.)

Liyana, i'm glad you had a great time in Alor Star and has come back safe n' sound. Can't wait to spend time with you when I get back! Until then, have a wonderful summer. You're one of the best people I know and I just want you to be happy okay? (:
Denise, i'm not sure when you'll be going to Philippines but good luck sorting all the Ateneo stuff out, and enjoy all the food! You don't get that here in KL! Have lots of fun my filipina/pinoy buddy. I'll see you soon.
Kristi, you're having the best time in Japan with Mao and i'm soo happy for you. Eat lots of real japanese food for me and shop a lot! Take pictures too, and see if you can find hot Turkish-Japanese drummer guys again haha! I miss you, take care of yourself okay?
Onnella, sweety, brush up on your geography! Haha but no really, I can't wait until I come back to celebrate your birthday with you. It's going to be so much fun, your plan seems great and I really hope that everyone can make it. Eh, they will. And we'll have a blast nonetheless. (: Just be happy okay? Don't die just cause Kristi and I aren't here bahahaha :P <3
Jan Nee, where have you been?! It's okay, we'll hang out soon. I hope you've been spending time with Carl, because it's our turn now. (: We'll take care of you sweety, your girlfriends. We're here for you no matter what.
Rick, ahh you're in South Africa now, and I just know you're having a blast. Hope your hairyness has provided good protection from bugs hehehe.
Nikesh, can't wait until you get back here to KL. Luckily i'll be back before you and Kristi so I won't miss anything.
Mark, darling, please get your cute egg-y head in school work! And try not to fall for any girls while i'm gone, okay? Haha. And I know you'll be fine. I'll miss you terribly, and I hope you know that I'll always be thinking of you. You're in my heart always, never forget that.
KY, you're on your way/in NY already, right? I'm going to read your blog in detail soon, but I do know that you're lucky you have free internet access haha. I hope you're having a fab time, take lots of pictures. I'll see you in a few weeks!
Amani, Shereen, May Zhee, Fiona, Khaili, and anyone else I might have missed.. I'm really sorry but I haven't been in touch with you lately. But I know you're all having a blast. What with Fiona and her theatre school in Canada, and May Zhee with her blog - we know what she's up to! But I really do hope that you're all having a great summer, and I miss you all so much. Hope you guys haven't been growing too much!
PHEW. Shout-outs done. (:

Until next time, everyone! I love you all.
