Rise and Shine Phuket November 2014
After planning for many years, finally we had our first family trip to Phuket. We (8 adults and 2 kids) had a great 4 days 3 nights trip with great time bonding and chatting. Everyone in the family went except my youngest sis's daughter who is just 1 month plus.. but i am sure she will be joining for the upcoming family trip :)
26th November 2014
Our flight is at 8.30am, so we got out of our house at 6am, planning to reach the airport by 6.30am. There are no cars on the road but the cabbie driver exercise extra caution and drove super slow... we reached at 6.40am, and my mum they all already queueing to check-in and had to let a few other passengers to go before them as we haven't arrive...so check in is fast since we are already first in the queue when we reached. Quickly proceed to boarding gate and after passing the immigration, we had about an hour for breakfast before boarding.
Had a quick breakfast at Bakerzin as there are not so much choices at Terminal 1....Their hot chocolate is good but a bit pricey. Meanwhile, sis, mum, BIL all walked around the airport as they already had breakfast before we arrived.
We boarded the plane at 8am and the plane is delayed for 15 minutes or so as two of their passengers lost their passport. It is quite a drama though cause the couple actually queue in front of my sis and brother in law....and they were blaming one another for misplacing the passport. They went back to look for it but i guess they couldn't find so the pilot make final decision to unload their checked-in luggage.

|Meanwhile, Justin played with granny
I was carrying Justin when i walked into the Thai Custom, looking for the shortest queue and I was approached by one of the custom officer. He asked how many of us are together and was pretty shocked when i told him that there is 10 of us... but he kindly lead us to row which is for Thai Resident and there is no queue here...so we cleared custom within 15 minutes thanks to the little ones.... it is like an express queue for kids.. hehe! Luggage came out pretty soon as we got out and we were given a free sim card (True Move) at one of the booth.. just need to top up at 7-11 and activate, then the sim card is good for use... It is 150 baht for 3 days of 3G use, and 200baht for 7 days use which is quite ok.
I had emailed David Car Rental before we arrived to book for car and the staff is already waiting for us outside with my name board...This car rental place is quite reliable and they don't even ask for deposit for the car, so just need to email them with the cars that you wanted and they will be waiting outside the airport. It is the second time we booked car with them.They drove us to their office which is just opposite the airport and we collected our car for the trip... One Honda Civic (1300 baht per day) and one Toyota Altis (1200 baht per day).
The staff in charge is really friendly and even offer to sell us Phi Phi Island Tour... we got it at a discounted rate with complimentary fetching from our Villa at Rawai. It is 2000 baht per person including pick up from Rawai and a full day tour by speedboat with lunch.
We wanted to lunch at Prantalay Seafood Restaurant as hubby and me enjoyed the food there very much on our previous trip but we can't find the place so ended up at Luk Lay Seafood Restaurant which is not nice... food is very normal and super pricey, portion is small too.
View is good as we dine next to the sea with view, and although it is outdoor seating but wasnt hot as it is covered by some big trees.
Overall food is ok as we are hungry but wouldn't recommend this restaurant unless had no choice...we spend 3410 baht for this meal and wasnt even very full or satisfied...
|Nice outdoor seating
|Dine with a view
|Pineapple rice.. tasted ok....
|Tom yam is ok, a bit spicy
|Fried pork-- portion is really small
|Kang Kung.. normal
|Fried squid...
|Fish is nice.. a little sourish spicy taste
|Pad Thai .. not nice
After lunch, we drove to our villa.. took us quite sometime to find it as the villa number doesn't go by sequence... the villa we booked is 86/81 but it is definitely not next to 86/82 or 87/81 or anything like this.... in the end, we had to call the owner who kindly came to the main road to get us...so the trick is to drive to the main road at Soi Saiyuan 9 Road and get the owner to come and get you cause believe, no matter how many times you go in and out looking, where the villa is... there is no way we are going to find that place on our own...
After checking in and chatted with the owner, we know why the number aren't in sequence. They basically gave out the house number by sequence to the buyer but no one knows which plot of land the buyer is going to build the house, so the house next to you can be build long time ago and therefore the number will be vastly different.
The house manager showed us around the house (pool, BBQ on rooftop, 4 bedrooms, 3 toilets, a living room, and kitchen.... while the owner bring my BIL on a motorbike ride to show him around the area.. where to get food, massage etc.
We settled in... kids played for a while, then shower as they didnt shower in the morning since we woke up pretty early.... watch Frozen for a while then nap together with daddy. Wanted to make them milk but they fall asleep before my hot water is ready....They must be really exhausted.
|Private infinity pool
Meanwhile, mummy, me, my youngest sister and her hubby swim and chill at the pool. After shower, we hang out at the living room and play cards while munching some biscuits.
After the kids woke up at about 7pm, it is time for dinner and we decided to eat at Rawai Seafood Market... it is definitely highly highly recommended... best meal in Phuket! We get to choose seafood at the stalls, and cook them at the restaurant just opposite them.... super fresh!
Do bargain for the seafood price as the price is not fixed!
|Fresh seafood to pick
|Daddy choosing crab for our meal tonight
We bought 2kg of crab, 1kg prawn, some squid, 6 oyster, 1/2 kg flowered cockles for 1550 baht. One fish at 180 baht...
Brought our seafood to Khun Pha Rawai BBQ to cook and ordered their fruit juices and vegetables... it was a super great meal!!!! Cooking, drinks and vegetable came up to 1850 baht and we really ate a lot... even went and get 2 more bunch of squid.....
We had a really great meal... and their fruit juices are nice.. imagine mango juice, watermelon juice.. all freshly squeezed.. very nice!
|Special fruit juice
|Chang Local Beer
|Chap Chay (stir fry assorted vegetables).. nice
|Stir fry broccoli
|Fresh oyster
|Yellow curry crab.. my dad loves this!
|Steamed lemon squid!!! This is a must!!!
|Fried prawn with garlic.. this is heavenly!
|Steamed red crab
|Steamed fish
|BBQ Cockles... oh... this is super nice!
|BBQ prawn in butter and garlic... the other fried prawn version is nicer...
After meal, we went to Makro (a local supermarket) to buy some snacks, drinks and breakfast for the next 2 days (croissant, bread, sausages, egg tart etc)
Went back to villa to rest....
27th November 2014
The next morning, mum, dad, my youngest sister and her hubby woke up earlier as they need to go for the Phi Phi Island tour... who supposedly pick them up between 7.30-8am...but they got lost finding the place and only came at 8.30pm...
Meanwhile in the morning... we grilled hotdog and salami for breakfast.... and heat up egg tart, croissant ... The hot dogs is super nice.. everyone love them!
Jaclyn and me woke up early so we were chilling at the poolside with grandma and grandpa....
It took us quite a while to find the place as the GPS kept bringing us to the wrong location... in the end found where we wanted to go.. Kok Chang Safari .. apparently this place is better at treating their elephants though the rates are slightly higher than the other place.. we had a good time here.
Kids less than 4 years old is free... and as the seats are not enough for 4 of us .. we got into 2 elephants...
Kids less than 4 years old is free... and as the seats are not enough for 4 of us .. we got into 2 elephants...
Prior to our trip, Justin keep wanting to go on elephant rides, kept saying even before we left for Phuket but once got onto elephant.. started crying... I think he is scared.. on the other hand, Jaclyn loves the ride, kept saying it was super fun!
After the ride, we went for a lunch nearby.. at Baan Chow Restaurant. Great view , food is normal... price is slightly pricey but we were hungry so just settle for the food.
After lunch, we went for coffee and cakes at A Spoonful of Sugar. It had great reviews online but were quite disappointed with their cakes.... it says nice homemade cake but very disappointed with the quality of the cake. Coffee is good, i also had Magic Mocha which is nice and special. Instead of using steamed milk for mocha, it used coconut milk so the mocha has a tinge of coconut taste... kinda special.. a bit weird in the beginning but getting nicer as i drank more... yum!

Do opt for the seats inside as there are quite a bit flies around... we had to "shoo" them while eating...
After tea time, went back to villa to nap.

|Brownie cheese cake... also disappointed
|Even the kids can't finish the cakes
Meanwhile, mummy, daddy, my younger sister and her hubby enjoyed their day at Phi Phi Island Tour....It was quite a good tour, plenty of water and food onboard, nice lunch... and the tour guide is nice and friendly...
Kids slept till about 7pm and then we went to Patong to walk walk and dinner. Parked at Junceylon ... easier to find parking and fees aren't too expensive (10 baht per hour, and if purchased/eat 100 baht, you will get free parking for 3 hours, not a bad deal)
We just had a quick and simple dinner at McD then walk around the area... was already very late when we reached home... bout 12 plus... super tired.. quickly go sleep :)
28th November 2014
The next day, as usual we had pool time after breakfast...
|Justin is more comfortable with swimming today...Compared to yesterday where he just play a bit of water and stand around.
|Jaclyn crying as I pull her towards deeper water... she just wanted to sit at the side of the pool...
|So happy
The sun is scorching when we reached but since we are here, of course need to explore a bit... saw lots of brides and groom taking photo for their wedding album... view is good... just a little too hot...
|Group photo
It is free for Jaclyn and she loves the ride so much, so she went for it again.. this time with grandma...
The rest of us who stayed, we had ice cream and cool drinks to cool down....
Lunch is at Rawai Seafood Restaurant again.. we ordered more or less the same stuff since it is so yummy.... didnt take photos cause everyone just busy eating...
The rest of us who stayed, we had ice cream and cool drinks to cool down....

|Daddy and my brother in law
We were exhausted so went back to villa to nap.... I slept for a while then chill by eating some tidbits and watching movie on my iPad. Jaclyn is very tired, she slept till almost 7.30pm...
Mummy, daddy, my second sis and her hubby went for Fantasea .. the rest of us are too tired so we just rest in the villa and went for dinner at Sala Mexicali.. OMG, the chicken fajitas is the best i have ever eaten... the meat is well marinated, soft and i don't know how to describe... just keep eating... yummy!
This is the entrance to the restaurant. Upon entering, the decor is simple yet cosy. There are already a few other tables occupied by the time we reached.
Fried chicken is rather normal...
I ordered chicken fajitas and it is the best I had ever eaten. First time the chicken meat is so tender and so well marinated. The onions, capsicum all very well cooked and taste fantastic. It is served with warm and soft fajitas and accompanied by sour cream, cheese, homemade tomatoes cubes, and homemade guacamole. It was so nice that everyone gave thumbs up! A must try if you are here.
Hubby ordered salmon and it is also nice but not as breathtaking as my fajitas. The mashed potatoes are homemade and there are minced vegetables inside which are special. The salad is well flavored too.
My sis ordered chicken quesadillas and it is also not too bad. Nicely flavored but verdict is i still love my fajitas the most!

29th November 2014
Will be flying back today... it is the last day of our holiday... Went out to get breakfast as our sausages and bread finish....
So today we will be having local food for breakfast....Found a few stalls with good food..
Some of the good ones...
These are little mini tarts with coconut milk inside.... coconut milk is still jelly-ish after cooking, and it is top with sweet potatoes or spring onion... love them!
The other nice one is this mini fried "you tiao" .. you can eat them on its own or dip in kaya.. very nice too!
We also had fried chicken with glutinous rice... fried chicken is nice. the rice is pretty normal.

Went Patong again as my sis wanted to buy some souvenir.... We lunch at Fuji Japanese Restaurant and the food is good! Even have free dessert and coffee with each set meal ordered.. yummy! We were rushing so didnt manage to take photos.
After lunch, was pretty rush to the airport but luckily still manage to check in and board on time! Phew....
Flew back uneventfully and had a quick dinner at airport before coming home...
Great trip overall though the weather is a little too hot... Do ensure sufficient hydration for both yourself and your kiddos during the trip!
Some highlight of the trip:
I especially love the private pool and dip in it quite a few times during our short trip.
Seafood at Rawai is really nice and at a very reasonable price.
My girl love the elephant rides and went on it twice.
I also love the mexican food that we had during the last night of our trip.
Most importantly, it was a great family trip and everyone had a good time.

Okey dokes, I wanted something bright and fun for today, so I remembered this puppy that I came across last weekend and thought it could be the perfect thing.
Here's the deal - the shirt was pretty awesome and pretty much good to go with regards to size, however check out the frayed bottom edge. It's like whoever owned this prior to me had their own little ripping party where they literally tore off the bottom with their hands. (And let me tell you, it was extremely uneven, Jack the Ripper!) Not so cute with a big collar and slightly pouffy sleeves. Totally works for a vintage T, but for this...not so much.
The main thing that needed to get handled was the rehemming of those fraying, uneven, raw edges, so I grabbed the sewing machine, pinned under the bottom of the shirt and created a new seam. I ended up taking it up a bit too, to make it fall a little lower on me (right at where my jeans sit).
After a little stitching, instead of just wearing the top as was, I made a few adjustments. First, I unbuttoned three of the buttons on the shirt. Next, I took one of my cotton fuchsia tank tops and put it on top as a makeshift vest. (PS - I always thought I needed traditional vests to wear on top of collared/button down/blousey tops, but not the case. A fitted tank will do the same thing and tanks are lighter than traditional knit vests, which works for me right now in this warmish climate here in So Cal, however some of you may not be able to test this out until digits hit the 6's.
I wore some silver flats which you can't see, as I decided to go shoeless for this pic...
It was a fun, light, lovely top for the day which made me get excited for spring, and ultimately for treats that only come out this time of year - Easter brings out the most delicious candy I've laid my taste buds on...the eggs of Cadbury. I'm not really a Peeps gal and chocolate trumps marshmallow any day of the week. Chocolate wishes and Cadbury dreams for me tonight.

This cool piece of work is from one of our newest design interns, Joy.
A while back, a friend helped me stumble upon this cool little manifesto from design company (and man behind it all) Jonathan Adler.
Please read it. It's cool.
The manifesto is honest, brave, fun, and so very Jonathan Adler. How do I know this? The proof is in the pudding. The company starts from the ground up, building on their own foundation and no one else's. What is important to them guides their decisions, their process, and their final product. Everything circles back to their manifesto.
Do you have a manifesto for yourself? What guides you, inspires you, helps you make tough calls?
I'm working on my own manifesto, and let me tell you, it's going to be honest, brave, and so very Katie Scully. State your motives, your guiding light, your point of view. Make it your own.

Longtime fans of Joss Whedon rejoiced when it was announced he'd been given the keys to the Avengers film franchise. Those same fans had just one question on their minds, "Who's he gonna kill? Is Hawkeye a dead man walking? Or the Hulk? Or the Black Widow?"
For those who missed the "Buffy," "Angel," "Firefly" and "Dollhouse" (which appears to be a lot of you), Joss Whedon does not play nice with his audience. I remember an agent telling me no showrunner was reading "Buffy" specs because "the show was too girly" and that "macho showrunners wanted to read something tougher." I honestly didn't know how to respond because "Buffy" was and is one of the most violent and brutal TV shows ever. The fight scenes were always blistering and someone died in every episode. We aren't talking about Guest Corpse #238 on "CSI." No, Joss Whedon made sure you got to know his victims before they were dispatched. Hurt more that way. And let's not talk about the deaths of recurring characters. You could populate an entire show with the fan favorites he massacred. Joss Whedon made sure every death was dramatic and traumatic.
So Mark Ruffalo's a goner right?
Well not so fast. Between "Firefly" and "Dollhouse," Whedon mainly stuck to writing comic books and during his tenure on such titles as Astonishing X-Men and Runaways he was decidedly less lethal with his characters. There were still some deaths but they were minor side characters. In fact he's best known for resurrecting a character during his Astonishing X-Men run. It was Whedon who brought back beloved X-Man Colossus.
So why the change? Deep in his heart Whedon is a contrarian. Everyone zigs, so he naturally has to zag. Killing off recurring characters isn't done too often in series television especially when those characters are popular. Networks want to hold on to every last fan out there. Ever since "Watchmen" and "Dark Knight Returns" in the mid '80s however comics have been on a different track. Death has been the order of the day in comic land. Way before Whedon came on the scene, things had gotten so bad it spawned the phrase Women in Refrigerators as a protest against the deaths of numerous (and mostly female) heroes and supporting characters. In a medium that valued life, Whedon reveled in death. In a business that was kill crazy, he broke out the extra life power ups.
There's more evidence for Whedon's contrary nature in the characters he let live. Like in every long running show, some characters were going to be mistakes. But unlike Nikki and Paolo on Lost, there were no coma inducing spiders to get rid of these showblockers. So while fan favorites Jenny Calendar, Tara, Anya, Wash, and Wesley all ended up taking dirt naps, nails-on-chalkboard characters like Riley, Dawn, Connor, and Simon not only survived but thrived. Whedon always likes to say he gives his audience what it needs rather than what it wants. I never realized I needed to roll my eyes that much.
So where does that leave Marvel's premier super group?
Hard to say. On the surface you'd think this would be a no brainer. Most of these characters have their own movie franchises. Plus there's the fact that Whedon is an unproven commodity as a mega budget director. His only other movie to date, "Serenity" was a mere $35 million. And it's one thing to tell Amber Benson or Alan Tudyk that their character is biting the big one. They'd probably just smile and say "Great idea, Joss" or if they do bitch and moan about it, it doesn't really matter. Having that conversation with Samuel L or ScarJo would probably require a bit more diplomacy.
But there's another factor to think about, cost. These movies are some of the most expensive to produce. So if you're planning on future solo movies for Captain America, Iron Man, Thor as well as more Avengers movies then it's possible you're committing yourself to spending over a billion dollars or more over the next several years. "X2" was an enormous hit with fans because it seemed to open the door for multiple X related movies. "X-Men Last Stand" slammed nearly all of those doors shut except for the "Wolverine" prequel. Plus there's still a phobia of having too many super powered beings in one movie. They blame "Batman and Robin's" failure on there being too many characters rather than on it being a lousy movie. So the executives in charge may be open to a few character deaths. They may even have them planned. You can imagine the internet rumors and buzz that would generate.
But will Whedon play along?

[Video Highlights] Man Utd 1-0 Brighton: Lucky Own Goal Secures Vital Win For Utd
Manchester United needed a rather fortunate own goal midway through the second half to secure a hard fought 1-0 victory over Brighton at Old Trafford this afternoon.
As you'd expect, United dominated possession but struggled to create many clear cut opportunities with Brighton showing no fear and causing problems on the break.
The hosts almost grabbed a goal on the stroke of half time as Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba were both denied by the Brighton keeper following a scramble at the far post.
The visitors continued to grow in confidence in the second half but United got the break they needed as speculative Ashley Young effort from the edge of the area deflected off Lewis Dunk and looped in to the top corner for 1-0 in the 66th minute.
There was no way back for Brighton to United held on to secure a vital victory that sees them remain second in the Premier League table and close the gap on Man City to five points ahead of their trip to Huddersfield tomorrow.
Watch the highlights here:

Generation of South East Asia. Custom Generation of South East Asia Essay Writing Service || Generation of South East Asia Essay samples, help
The first generation of South East Asia that moved to the U.S was due to the need for financial support and better security. One of the major causes that contributed to migration stress is political insatiability in their country of origin. The immigrants experience was one of the most stressful experiences that they underwent. This is because some had to leave their families and friends behind. Immigration removed the people from their community roles, customs and language. Additionally, it placed them in a strange place of different cultural practices and environment. This contributed to stress because adapting to the new environment is not easy and immigrants had to learn new cultural ways.
Limited time Offer
Thus, the cultural identity in the face of new culture became a stressful experience. This is because of the cultural shock, which is explained in three phases. These include the cultural encounter, reorganization and the new identity. The process seemed to be a stage of development, whereby the immigrants were force to assimilate the new culture and language. Moreover, finding the new identity was a stressful problem because it forced many immigrants to start learning new language in order to break communication barriers. Acquiring new identity and retaining their cultural identity became difficult, if not impossible.
In addition, the immigrants experienced acculturative stress because the process caused change to the giving and the receiving culture. This led to a process known as the inter-culturation. The first generation that moved to the U.S experienced stress because immigrants often chose one strategy of acculturation, which is maintaining domestic culture. This became asters due to the choosing to what extent cultural characteristics are crucial to maintain (Bhugra & Becker, 2005). Another one is cultural participation, which also became acculturation stress because the immigrants found it difficult to mingle and participate in the host culture. Third strategy is integration process and this is similar to assimilation. This became a stress to the immigrants because hey were undecided if they could acquire new cultural values or retain their cultural practices alone. The last strategy is marginalization whereby the immigrants wanted to separate themselves from the host culture in the U.S. This became stressing because they were unable to make a decision for marginalization (Chih Huang, 2001).

The changes that took place due to language, lifestyle, cultural value and social support affected immigrants in many ways. First, the acculturation affected their families, because the acculturation process led to intra-familial stressors. This threatened the family bonds thorough the responses of conflicting acculturation. Moreover, even the second or third generation may differ from the main culture in their values and behaviors. Changes in the language communication took place because of different ethnic groups. This took place because of different immigrants who moved to the U.S and every ethnic group had its own language of commutation. The immigrants were encouraged to learn different language, but mostly English was commonly used. English was the only language for social acceptance and integration. Those who tried to educate their children only mother tongue faced social conformity from the peer group. According to Berry (1997), the First generation learnt adequate English languages in order to survive economically. In addition, their cultural lifestyle and values changed.
A stress model is a theoretical framework that analyzes the cause of challenging behaviors. The model emphasizes that all challenging behaviors emerge from a state of stress, thus individuals can reduce stress through expressions and understanding of one's emotions. When the Bengalis and Indian immigrants moved to the U.S, they faced many challenges in the new culture including laws and cultural values, beliefs and norms as well as varied social behaviors. Such challenges contributed to particular stress known as the acculturative stress. Many research studies reveal that stress is an essential factor for the mental health of immigrants. However, too much stress can result in mental illness. Thus, the ggreater the differences between the two cultures, the more stress an immigrate has to deal with. There are varied multidimensional models that focus on the acculturation as a simulation, language and beliefs processes. Numerous research done by the psychologists and sociologists tries to explain that stress model in one of the measuring scales; this enables one to determine acculturation process that immigrants experience in a foreign country (Mehta, 2000).
The contribution of stress in the process of acculturation among the Bangladeshi and the Indians are varied. The major contribution is acculturation process of the immigrants and the anxiety. The research study reveals that the immigrants experience more anxiety and stress for being separated from their families and friends (Chih Huang, 2001). Moreover, they experience pressure from the new culture and sometimes prejudice against their cultural beliefs. For instance, the Bengalis contained the bigger number of Muslims religion and they were prejudiced by the people, which may contribute to acculturation stress. Moreover, the social problems when trying to work together with the other social groups may contribute to acculturation stress (Yee, 1994). The

Another contribution to stress is loss of one's social structure which may cause a painful reaction. Immigration can result in loss of language, cultural values, norms and social structures. Being stressed for this loss is seen as a health reaction and natural consequences. However, the symptoms may cause significant impairment and psychiatric intervention may be necessary. The loss of social structure, self-identity and cultural values can lead to cultural bereavement, according to Bhugra and Becker (2005). Cultural bereavement occurs when immigrants settle in the new environment, whereby they are forced to adapt to traditions of the host society. Some of the immigrants may suffer from stress because of abandoning their cultural values and norms. They feel the pain because of the loss of the memories, which begins to fade. Thus, they find constant traumatic images intruding in their day to day life.

Police: 10-Year-Old Driving When Car Hit by Train
CHILLICOTHE (AP) - Police say a northwest Missouri man allowed a 10-year-old girl to drive a car carrying four other children that was struck by a freight train. No one was hurt in the accident Tuesday near Chillicothe.
Livingston County Sheriff Steve Cox says 31-year-old Erin Graves of Chula was cited for five misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
The Missouri highway patrol says the driver accelerated to try and avoid train but didn't make it all the way across the tracks. Cox says Graves claimed he was driving but later admitted the
10-year-old was driving. The relationship between the children and Graves was not clear.
The St. Joseph News-Press reported Friday Graves was the only one in the car old enough to have a driver's license.
