Long days at work and tight deadlines have left me and LET (a former colleague, now drinking buddy) mentally incapacitated… well so to speak. We were just tired of our daily routine. Long holidays were not an option at the moment. Hence, we decided that a few days away from work and not do much during that few days would do us good. So to Krabi in South Thailand we went - LET has never been there and I have never been to any other parts of Thailand except Bangkok – we might as well check it out.
Time didn’t seem to be moving at all while we were there, which is the way we wanted it. The most important objective was to get out of bed later than our usual routine, which was met. We spent one of those days island hopping, where the sun was shining, blue skies, white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. A day out in the sun was followed by a day of pampering – we treated ourselves with a 3-hour spa after spending the entire morning by the pool: enjoying the sun again, some light reading, napping, some splashing in the pool and sipping cocktails. The day went by so slowly, which we didn’t mind it. Which would you rather have? A day that goes on so slowly at work doing something you don’t quite enjoy or a day that goes on so slowly while you sip cocktails by the pool or the beach? I rest my case.
In the evenings, good conversations were had over a nice dinner. A getaway is not complete without intoxication of oneself with some alcohol – well, not so much but still, a few rounds in a day was in order.
Back in Singapore with a fabulous tan (I had a bit of a burn on my back but nice tan nevertheless) and all energized. We don’t think we are ready to get back to work but hey, we have 2 working days to go before the weekend. No complaints there.
As usual, I am crap at uploading my photos - they will come later. However, this photo here was taken by yours truly on Bamboo Island - one of the stops during our day out island hopping. The little girl in the photo is Sonia, whose family was on the same island hopping group with us.

Nice pic, and what great beach! Sounds like an excellent R&R break. . .I gotta get there one day!
Ahh! Holiday..the word is such a distant memory for me. Can't recall the last time I actually had one, with work n school, all that. Good to know you had one. Must plan mine soon, once my school ends, which is like 12 months more to go.
Great..just great! A word of advise to you, never make a decision when
a) you are alone
b) you are depressed
c) you are high strung
Guess now you know why I am doing my MBA eh!
