My Trip to Thailand

Hi everyone,

Some of you may be overseas by now and enjoying yourselves too. Even if you are in Singapore, there are tons of things to do, like visiting the library, watching a movie and doing your holiday assignments (a gentle reminder - spoils the fun?)

I just returned from Krabi, Thailand early this morning at 12.30 am. I spent five days in Phuket and Krabi with my family. It's a beautiful place especially Phi Phi island. We took a speedboat to go island-hopping. My children even went snorkelling to look at fish (clown fish "Nemo") and corals. I was actually worried about encountering a tsunami since the one in 2004. As I toured these two areas, the evacuation routes are clearly marked with signposts and warning systems have been set up all around the islands. We also managed to catch the sight of a lovely sunset at the unblocked view at the Pramtherp Cape (if I 've spelt correctly). The food there is usually spicy and very delicious. I must have been greedy and was down with food poisoning.

While I was there, I also visited Anuban Krabi School. Their teachers and students came to visit us on 5 Nov this year. Remember?

I had a great time although I was sick towards the end of the trip. (I shall share some of my photos with you next time)

At the same time, I was also saddened by the deaths of the 5 dragon boat racers who drowned in Cambodia as I read the newspapers this morning. Before I left for my trip, their bodies have not been found yet. Did you all follow the reports? Remember to keep reading newspapers.

Au revoir! (Goodbye in French)
