Anyway, wasnt reallyy a v good day to begin with, but we still set off w a "try-to-be" happy mood.

Checked into Turi Beach REsort, not bad, but as expected la, resort will not be as clean n class as hotel (futher more it's not suite, so din expect much oso)..
Actually, throughout these 3 days, nothing much to do, eat , slp, swim then went to Nongsa pt to do some shopping, nohting much oso, juz like shopping in carrefour..
then play pool, throw darts, play table soccer & monopoly at lounge
WAs kinda of boring... Hee.. ;P

Gotten some "reviews" from my hubby aft the trip.. he juz told me , trip is ok, but main purpose is for me to relax n stress free...
Hmm.. not bad la hubby, quite good to me.. OKay another star for him ..Hee
