Right after the kuching field trip.. there is another company vacation trip to Phuket for 4days 3 nites.. (12 – 15th August 2009)
All the expenses for the hotel accommodation and flight ticket are fully sponsored by the “Company”.. “Techsense Solutions Sdn Bhd”
hehehe.. the motto for this trip was “Free and Easy” – not accompanied/ bound to any tour guide or whatsoever ..
Day 1 ..
start at early morning 5.a.m ~ some of us had slept at the LCCT terminal itself, including me..
hahaha.. didn’t managed to get back home that nite.. as the flight from kuching was delayed.. and only arrived the LCCT-KLIA
after midnite.. ~ luckily the power port is available at the food court (got kfc in front of the bus stop for airbus),
can go update facebook and re-charge the phone.
the flight is suppose at 7.25 a.m , and we had to check-in 2hour earlier.. which is 5.25a.m ..
Hmm..
(someone forgot to make a wake-up call that morning…
so I ended up to bring along the spare kiosk-CPU unit from kuching to phuket.. *sigh* ~)
well.. the flight took about 1hour and 25minute..
and for Phuket , Thailand .. the timezone is -7 .
so..we departed from LCCT at 7.35a.m and up and arrived at 7.50am

.. business start at 11a.m. next time better book the ticket accordingly …
Wah you really have a sense of adventure!
I’m curious how did you plan your journey … research up front or find out as you go ?
only main course/route were researched upfront.. i.e need get to seremban and then only got bus to get to PD.
the rest of the detail were figured out as trip goes on..
reach there then only select one of the available option..
look around for sigboard, landmark and all.
if all above fail.. then ask around.. which way to go to where.. and stuff like that.
also sometime (and whenever comfortable) use handphone 3G/GPRS to access maps.google.com to ask for distance and direction.
mainly when need to answer “how far more to go ?”
as google map give exact distance from one location to another..
then only can tell roughly how long and what to expect next..
.
p/s : normally need not to answer..especially if going alone..!
as this time I had my girlfriend accompany me all the way , so need to attend to her request also..
else wouldn’t be that nice..:-)
pegi PD xajak..anyway g ngan saper?
