FantaSea’s Show.

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

but before I go into the topic, let me show you around =D.

IMG_8975

it’s admirable how their fake fireworks look so real. boo at M’sia’s ugly plastic-almost-rotten-fireworks. I mean, the plastic DO look crappy.

and shall Bangkok be my NEXT Thai destination? =D =D =D. YES YES YES!

mom’s gonna kill me if she reads this. but I guess I’ll save Bangkok for 2012 T_T.

IMG_8968

the most beautiful bar I’ve ever seen. Swirls. I just love them. and for your information, this picture isn’t edited. it’s REALLY this blue and this amazing.

and if you love white like me, you’d LOVE this one. even if you hate white, I guess you’ll still love it.

IMG_8951

TADA! the white elephant place. It looked like something that popped out from the fairytale.

IMG_8800

it sells luxurious items inside but usually everyone will just take a picture outside. look at the stuff inside too, it’s magnificent.

IMG_8971

those. are. gigantic. BEARS!

I wonder how much they cost. and if anyone ever buys it, where would they put it?

IMG_8970 copy

The Siamese Twins, Chang and Eng. =D. read about them since I was young. there was even a musical for them! there are also other siamese twins that looked like the sculpture. but I always wonder how they secrete their “wastes”. =/. which brain will adjust the muscle contraction and all? =S.

Chang and Eng had their own pair of hands and legs =D.

IMG_8972

the superb real looking mini elephant with a lot of expensive bling blings displaying on this posh jewellery shop. it was so posh I didn’t go in =X. and it was closing already T_T.

lets move on to the main point, shall we? =P.

IMG_8838

THE THEATER BUILDING!

it’s the bloody most awesome building I’ve ever seen at night.

IMG_8804

closer look.

it’s phenomenal. with awesome siam style in its architecture and those very witty way of installing the light.

IMG_8945

an even closer look!

IMG_8931

the interior. I TOLD YOU everywhere was detailed. =P.

IMG_8930

look at the alleyway! there are ELEPHANTS CARVED ON THEM. along the whole walkway!

and yeap, the sad thing was, NO CAMERA’S ALLOWED. you’d have to let them keep your camera during the show. sigh.

the show was beyond what words can say, some might find it boring, but the choreography of their dance and how…. chickens know their directions opps. I shall not tell more. hehee. it’d really worth the watch. DON’T BE STINGY AND JUST GO FOR IT AITE!

IMG_8939

and don’t forget to take a picture at the entrance =D. took it after the show because it was drizzling before it. and in front of the entrance, there are about 4 elephants walking round what I’d call the round-about. and you could actually sit on them. hehe. it feels really grand.

IMG_8933

you’d also get to take pictures with elephants that performed in the show after the show. they are very tame @@. I actually pity them. I felt that they were tame because they were being tortured. example : they pull his ears and at times uses some sharp metal thing to poke onto them. my friend commented that it is just so that the elephants will learn well. but it’s still cruel T_T.

PS : I had elephant massage. it literally STEPPED on me.  =X. it was comfy. but the elephant kiss is slightly too wet. =X.

IMG_8978

neways, KHOB KUN KA! means thank you. =D.

for males, you say Khob Kun Krub.

PSS : NICHKHUN WENT TO THAILAND 2 DAYS AFTER I LEFT! AND HE’D MOST PROLLY GO PHUKET NOOOOOO. T_T.

FantaSea, the mini zoo.

Monday, September 27th, 2010

IMG_8908 copy

this is not the entrance. didn’t go in. =(. was there late, so. =((((! but it looked like there’s those fun fair games. =D.

the entrance of the zoo is pretty secluded I’d say. it’s inside some kind of boutique where toys, things, clothes printed with animal prints are sold. if you’re blur like me, you’d most probably walk pass without noticing it. and that is what my mom did. she didn’t even KNOW there was a zoo.

better go there earlier like a little before 8 so that you can catch the big show at 9pm.

IMG_8852

I don’t know what this is. there were no description. but these cute furry skunk like animals, jumps up and down at some crazy fast speed! very entertaining to watch them.

there were a lot of animals upon entering the place, but the lights were too deem and flash on them ain’t good =/. there was toads, deer’s, snake @@”….

IMG_8866

this place, is the mosttt beautiful. why? because it is white. and I love white.

but nahh that big peacock is fake.

IMG_8867

but this one’s real. =D. there were two of them. so very graceful T_T.

IMG_8875

and don’t forget to look up! the lights in the room goes on and off every 10 seconds. and you’d see the beautiful neon coloured stuff. =D.

IMG_8879

this picture is NOT a portrait shot. can you see what’s in the picture? =D. I have a friend who couldn’t, until I told him what was in it.

there are 7 of them.

IMG_8883

parrots! unfortunately, they don’t talk. nor do they fly away. the place ain’t caged.

IMG_8888

at first I was wondering what this was, like a big deco for the kids or something. but when you look closer, you’d see that this is actually HOME for the little hamsters! SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and so creative. they looked like the happiest creatures on earth!

IMG_8894

having fun =D.

IMG_8862

I think this one’s taken opposite the snake. as in, the real snake. it was a huge snake. yellow and white in colour. who cares what breed it was. T_T. I hate snakes they make my bulu naik.

IMG_8900

AND THE RAREST! I wanted to take a picture with it =(. but then after it drank water it went to sleep @*(#&)#_!@.  the glass is like at least 30cm thick.

IMG_8902

and this is the tiger’s home. lucky animals.

IMG_8848

another amazing thing about FantaSea is that ALL their walls are so carefully and beautifully done. ALL of em.

IMG_8906 copy

there was even KOREAN and malay! pfft it is much more above.

WHO TOOK THIS PICTURE! WHY CROP OFF MY KOREAN WORDS! I took this picture because I wanted the Korean kamsahamnida. hahaha =X.

the zoo is really “mini” but you can’t miss it out. it’s amazing.

FantaSea + Phuket 101.1

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

there is so many reasons why you should love FantaSea.

1. it’s name is similar with my favourite orange carbonated drink, Fanta.
2. it’s carerfool.
3. it’s very famous in Phuket.

just joking. but it’s true.

the main reasons are :

1. the FantaSea show is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. you’d be so amazed by it, trust me.
2. their buffet serves VERY DELICIOUS food. I hated international buffet’s because they always sucked. I’m very picky. BUT I LOVED THIS ONE.
3. the place is BEAUTIFUL. 600million bhat was used to build this place. how can you not visit it? it’s spectacular. and I am being very honest. they say, you’ve not fully been to Phuket if you’ve not been to FantaSea. and if you have time, go for Simon (pronounced as Simone) Cabaret to see beautiful Ah Guas. heard that it’s very good too =D.

IMG_8786 copy

the entrance.

OKAY, for the pricings.

it’s BEST to book it at the airport. once you’ve got your luggages and you’ve came out, you’d see many booths and you can just ask for hotels there. what’s best is, you can BARGAIN. if you’re white, you’d most probably get to be seen as a rich man. because it is pretty true that whites earns more than asians. so if you’re asian, just go ahead and bargain!

note that :
1. you’d need to fill in your hotel name on your Alien card. so I suggest you to do some homework on which hotel to live in before you go there.
2. booking hotels at the airport saves you MORE THAN HALF.
3. I stayed at WhiteSands Hotel along the Patong beach. it was recommended by my mom. no doubt, it’s really comfortable and cheap. but that is if you stay at the new rooms. but the lobby is nothing glamourous, the rooms are just really comfortable.

back to pricings!

we got our rooms @ 1000bhat per night. we did not bargain for this. =D. it’s pretty fixed.
FantaSea @ 2000bhat per person. we had VIP seats for our show, too. my mom got hers at 1500bhat on low season without the VIP seats. so whatever it is, BARGAIN.

2000bhat is worth EVERY CENT already.

IMG_8787

first day also got tan already. blah! T_T.

IMG_8795

that’s one of the performers at the show. =D.

IMG_8796

those are faaaaaaaaaaaaaake fireworks. but the place is beautiful. it ain’t disneyland big, but it’s enough if you’d go there by 6pm. we had our van delayed from fetching so many people. UGH. our time there was pretty rushed. so please go in a big group so that you’d fill the van and have NO DELAYS. that would be 12 people. =D.

IMG_8809

this is the AMAZING BUFFET DINNER.

IMG_8949

the buffet place. it’s damn crazy. it’s so grand it makes you feel lucky to be there!

IMG_8829

the first glance of the halls. you’d actually get divided into HALLS. VIP’s have VIP’s hall which is in a room. I was so hungry I didn’t get a picture pfft.

IMG_8826

I took a picture of this counter because I love this counter. EAT IT WITH THEIR THAI SHOYU + MINT OR WHATEVER IT IS SAUCE. blackpepper is normal. wayy to normal. =D. I had so many plates of beef I feel bad for eating to much. too sinned.

other than this, they have a really nice roast duck counter where they served SUPER YUMMY DUCK MEAT. they don’t give you the lauya laupeh ducks I am telling you! they have a sushi+sashimi counter also. again, IT ISN’T LAUPEH at ALL. their salmon and tuna was so fresh and their portions were really big. THICK SLICES OF TUNA AND SALMON! best of all, the wasabi is really fresh! and best best best of all, SITTING ON THE OPPOSITE TABLE WAS THIS REALLY HOT GUY. I think he is Malaysian pfft. but he had tattoos all over his body, like sleeves T_T. he is the hottest guy I’ve seen, whom isn’t korean.

okay, their desserts are really good too. my sister commented that it is better than secret recipe. hahaha.

IMG_8784 copy

some counters outside selling overpriced stuff. but it’s okay. I mean, buying things in disneyland is much more costly.

IMG_8977

and all their decos and designs are so nice. pfft.

MORE OF FANTASEA TO COME!

Patong, Phuket.

Monday, September 20th, 2010

IMG_8720 copy

being too free at Patong Beach =D. I’ve never done these sort of things before– writing on sand, mainly because I don’t really like going to the beach. but it looks fun. writing on sand ain’t as easy as I thought pfft.

IMG_8584

when you visit Thailand, MAKE SURE you tried the sour and spicy steam fish! siakap I think? but it’s DELICIOUS!

IMG_8592

that is how you saw “STOP” in thai. hahaha. it’s so unique.

IMG_8620

they say you must visit these places when you go to Phuket. I agree for the BIGGEST picture. I wanted to try the Sea Walking one very much though T_T. and James Bond Island is very very far.

this board looks so Malaysian because of the Selamat Datang word. but it is taken in Phuket aite!

PS : my mom said you MUST watch the Simon (pronounced as Simone) Cabaret. the show filled with.. ehems, aquas.

IMG_8652 copy

Patong Beach. Nic (in red) looks like he is a local HAHAHAHA.

IMG_8754

it drizzles a lot. so DO REMEMBER to bring an umbrella where ever you go. two purposes.

1. it drizzles a lot
2. if it’s not drizzling, it’s SHINING.

hats are pretty essential too. but don’t buy them there, it’s madcow expensive. though there are tonnes of beautiful bikini’s for sale. I forgot to take a picture. AHHH T_T. but they are really very unique.

IMG_8621

I just like this picture =D. and THAT must be heavy.

IMG_8628 copy

one thing you must love about Patong is, HAWKERS ARE EVERYWHERE. and they are (almost) all DELICIOUS.

count the bottles of nutella. yum yum.

IMG_8639

chocolate + banana. it is AWESOME. I hope Malaysia had these. as in, in the streets. or perhaps at the same price would be nice enough. even the one at pasar malam is about 5bucks. T_T.

IMG_8646

when you see alleys like these, DO NOT go in unless you want to experience being DRAGGED to a stall.

“come and have a look! look no need money!”

“this one is very nice!”

“I can show you more!”

“I give you good price!”

“only 800 bhat!”

ONLY? HAHAHA. super expensive. usually, you can cut their price by at least 70 percent. I bought stuff that costs 250 bhat for 60 bhat. heh. but do be sure to buy more. if you buy only one, it’s pretty unlikely to get huge discounts.

IMG_8647

“umbrella free, table free! you just have to pay for the chair! 150 bhat!”

oh my.

IMG_8650

I like how they were so carefree and happy =X. foreigners playing football(?) with the locals. =D.

Sawadeekap! Phuket!

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

I am back, and is tan. T_T.

we were practically LOOKING for this.

IMG_8611

the unique macdonald mannequin. doll. whatever you call it. but it looks damn bloody scary up close.

IMG_8597

ain’t it dangerous? almost all thai people does this. it’s like so normal. and the wind kept blowing their shirts up. WOOT SO SEXAY! but I was a bit disappointed, I didn’t see any Nichkhun look alikes. perhaps they are all in Bangkok =(.

IMG_8595

thai street. on the way to Patong =D. the amount of utility poles are madness. was wondering if they have like extra high risks of getting brain damage from all these radiation.

IMG_8598

Patong beach! it’s really near the hotel I live in. my mom said if we were to travel at around May, the water would be BLUE. like, Phi Phi island blue. when I went there, it was a bit chalky. didn’t even want to swim there.

IMG_8601

mom said that some angmohs would go fully naked at none peek season. without panties. =O.

IMG_8603

“want a tuk tuk?” you’d get this at least about 100times in a day.

IMG_8602

the first day there. I was all fair.

IMG_9352

and this is what happened T_T. I got tan, sun burnt, bitten by fishes and sandflies. PFFT. but it was fun. and I had a whole lot of rashes from eating all those seafood! xD.

leaving for an art exhibition now! at whitebox/blackbox@MAP, near KLCC. =D. tata! will blog more about it!

Last Minute.
