will i am's delayed diary

Compared to SimonLover and ForIHaveSinned, our day started a bit later. When we came out for breakfast, they were already in their transport, ready to head out to the port. For the trip to the animal sanctuary, we had to bring a change of clothes and a towel as we were supposed to get wet. We crowded onto the back of a transport truck together with an Asian DILF. As you can see, his sweaty pits were right in front me.  Kalim Elephant Care was just 40 minutes away, and this was inclusive of a couple of stops at other hotels along the way. The guide gave us a short briefing about Thai elephants and handed each of us bag containing strips of sugarcane. No points for guessing that the elephants love that shit. We got really up close and personal with a family of elephants. Their skin was tough and leathery, with coarse hairs. And their trunks wove around us with amazing agility always sniffing for sugarcane. We walked together with the elephants from one point to the next, taking load...

Sea, surf, and sand holidays are not my cup of tea, so it's no surprise that I had never visited the island of Phuket. The hiao trip had been planned in the last quarter of 2023 with KH, Simon Lover, and ForIHaveSinned. It required me to take only 1 day of leave across the Thaipusam weekend. In my current job, annual leave is very precious as I only have twelve days a year. Please donate me some if you're feeling generous. Packing was done pretty last minute, and you won't believe the amount of skimpy items that I brought. Well, you know, to counter the hot Island weather.  On the day of departure, I left my home at 6AM via GrabCar and met up with the boys at KLIA. Purposely avoided AirAsia due to their recent reputation for flight delays and cancellations. Put our money in Malaysia Airlines. The Aerotrain was still out of service so we took the bus to the terminal. The little time to burn we had to burn before boarding time we spent at the newly-renovated Plaza Premium Lo...

It's really no mean feat planning a holiday with friends-- getting everyone to agree on a time, place, and actually getting the flight tickets. KH, SimonLover, ForIHaveSinned, and I passed that phase-- we were going to Phuket during the Thaipusam weekend! Made a cafe date at Mimi Daifuku , and tried to tresh out some of the details. Being old school, ForIHaveSinned had a notebook with him on top of an iPad to organize his thoughts. In the end, I think we membawang-ed  more than any actual planning. LOL. But we were very sure of one thing-- we need a hotel room with private pool or something similar for our hiao photo sessions!
