NATAS was overcrowded!!! initially i thought that since its held at the expo, and not the suntec convention centre, the crowd will be more dispersed as it is more spacious. I WAS WRONG!! the queue to enter the hall to the ticket counter was from one end of expo to the other!!! i was mortified. the queue would mean i that i would hav to stand for another 1-2 hrs!!! i was totally NOT prepared to do that just to go to some NATAS fair. THENNN!!! my dar decided to pull an 'auntie stunt' without my knowledge. he just held me by the hand and led me towards the start of the queue, and then pretended to lose his way!!! i was freaking out by then cos i afraid that someone would start screaming from the back. but in the end, he managed to mingle us into the crowd and then ease our way into the start of the queue. HAHA!! auntified lah!!

it was so tempting to go on a looooooong vacation while seeing all the different booths of all the beautiful countries. we just jostled arnd with the crowd and finally settled down at this booth called Fascinating Holidays. they seemed to concentrate more on holiday and relaxing resorts (eg Banyan Tree and Club Med) so it was wat we were looking for. initially we browsed at the rates for maldives. but in the end we decided to stick to the plan and leave maldives for a later date cos we wanted maldives to be PERFECT. meaning, we want to stay in the luxury resorts with our water villas on stilts!!! its the sea at ur doorstep, literally!!! so, we decided on thailand beaches. oh yes, if u guys didnt know, tiger airways is the only direct flight to krabi. and they cease flights to krabi in end march. so, flying to krabi will be a hastle. so we chose the easier route to Koh Samui. and after lots of persuasion, headache and indecisiveness, we finally made our booking!!!

nikky will be going to Koh Samui in june!!! we'll be staying at the Ocean Villas in Punnpreeda Hip Resort. Check them out!!! :)

Our 6 Ocean Villas are carefully designed, private detached villas all with polished white concrete flooring, counters and walls accented with hand-dyed fabrics, and traditional teak wood furnishings. In addition you will enjoy ample storage space and outdoor seating with a view of our infinity pool and the beautiful blue sea in the Bay of Ban Rak. All Ocean Villas feature private terraces and one-of-a-kind Puunpreeda HIP Hospitality.



So anyways, after the booking, my boy decided to call out his auntified alter-ego once again. when we were having our 'spin the wheel' chances at the OCBC counter, dar was pleading with the promoter. one of the prizes was the damned ipod touch. and he wanted it so badly, he could forsake his image.
"got any secret way to win the itouch anot??"
"give me lah..."
"did anyone else win har??"
"really cannot give me mehhhhhhh?????"
ME? i was just looking for a place to hide whilst trying not to strangle him.

because we took alot of information and magazines from Royal Carribean and Club Med etc, our plastic carrier was getting out of shape and mangled. so he wanted the nicer AIG carrier we saw other pple holding. so we went on a 'AIG CARRIER SEARCH'. i was dragged arnd the whole hall in search of that nonsense carrier. after wat seemed like hours, we almost gave up, until he caught sight of the AIG promoters at the entrace. in the most auntie manner u can imagine, he went up to one of them and asked "can i have one of those bags pls??" complete the look with the glimmering eyes okay. omg i wanted the ground to open up and eat me. and because all the bags were given away, we had to wait for the new batch to arrive. then, he went to ask ANOTHER promoter, and amazingly, he went to their booth, and pulled out another folded bag, and secretly gave it to my auntified boyfriend. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. i wanted to get out of there asap.

but wat can i say, i guess i still love my auntified boyfriend alot!! love him enough to be auntie with him, and love him enough to allow him be auntie. haha he's just so silly sometimes.

i already warned him, i WILL blog abt this. HAHA!!
