Many of our family and friends were very concern about us when they read about the closure of Phuket airport on Friday and Saturday due to rioting. In fact, many of them advised us to cancel our plans to travel to Thailand during this period. After praying for God’s direction and guidance, we decided take a step of faith on Monday to proceed as planned when the airport was reopened on Sunday afternoon.

Updating our blog now in Phuket (JW Marriot Vacation Club), we thank God for His journey mercy and we would like to assure all our family and friends that the situation here is normal and peaceful with no sign of unrest.

Favour from God: We got a free taxi ride from airport to our hotel (Andaman Cannacia @ Kata Beach), a dinner and show at Phuket Fantasea in exchange for 1.5h of our time today @ JW Marriot Vacation Club to listen to their time sharing programme. Hahaha… What a good deal as we had nothing much planned for today and we originally have intention to attend Phuket Fantasea show.

Below are some photos we have taken so far in Phuket. Take care. =)

With the first HDB appointment fixed, the next thing thing we are looking at is where to go for our honeymoon. I have a week of the September holidays to go for a short trip and a longer one at the end of the year.

We have considered a few places like Thailand, Philippines and Melbourne self-drive for end of the year. We've also had some suggestions for places like Malaysian and the Bintan beach resorts, Japan, New Zealand etc.

Where do you think is the place that's suitable for us? We'd love to hear from you. Do leave your comments here. =)

Some suggested places so far include:
Rio de Jane Brazil
Honolulu, Hawaii 
Cancun, Mexico
Surfer’s Paradise, Australia
Negril, Jamaica
Miami, Florida
Viti Levu, Fiji
Boracay, Philippines
Tenerife, Canary Islands
Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand

However, considering we only have a week (September School Holiday) for our honeymoon , we will only consider places which are less than 3 to 4  hours flight away.
