Ive been pretty lazy for the past few days and hence, the lack of updates. My apologies!
Its been a week since we came back from our langkawi trip. It wasnt quite a successful one though.. mainly because of the bad bad weather which forbids us to do alot of outdoor activities.
We took the 830am ferry on Monday so u can imagine what time we had to wake up.
Alastair took this photo from outside the cabin of the ferry
Was caught up with a little sea sickness.. feeling nauseous half way through the journey. It was a 3 hours right by the way and numerous people vomitted. Some just had to vomit out loud, making that *urgh yeah* sound which almost made me threw up. I took a long nap, hoping to recover from the sea sickness and it did. When outside for some fresh air when we were about to reach our destination.

Being a first timer to langkawi, i thought that the island is filled with beautiful beaches.. where u can see through the water and withness the coral reefs. However, my preconception was immediately dismissed after i saw the beach near our motel. It wasnt what we were hoping for. No clear water and coral reefs. Instead, it reminds us of Singapore.. like east coast park.. just that it is cleaner and the waves are bigger. We all still went for a swim though and still managed to have alot of fun there. Alastair will develop those pictures we took at the beach when we get back to SG.

We went for a stroll to the nearby shops along the road in the night. Bought a billabong boxers for just 12RM. Probably fake one though lol. Had alot of fun playing around with some products in the shop.
Us goofing around with straw hats!

The sleep that night was very bad. Our room was damn dirty. Lots of mosquitos flying around. My nemesis :@ and our beds had bed bugs too. Couldnt sleep still for 10mins without having to scratch my body/leg.
On the second day of our trip, our supervisors wanted to go visit the underwater world but we all think that its too costly and that its something that we already experienced before at Sentosa so the 6 of us went shopping at the duty free shops nearby while they went in to the world of fish tanks. The dfs there had myriads of alcohols and chocolates and its very cheap.. but sadly, im not a connoisseur of those. However, something across the street caught my eye....
Its the Honda NSX! Was damn surprised to see such cars over here at Langkawi. I guess that alone makes the whole trip worthwhile
After the underwater world, we wanted to go take the cable cars to go to the top of some hill but then it was raining so i guess they closed the ride. So, we went to feed elephants instead!
It costs about 5Rm per person just to feed it lol. Riding it wasnt an option because it costs
70rm!
There were rabbits and deers too
The entrance to see the rabbits and deers is free of charge. We need to buy their food which cost around 1rm if i'm not wrong in order to feed them. No outside food allowed!
Bernerd throw some of their food on raymond's back and 1 of the deers ate his back!
Dinner that day was at Kuah, the town of Langkawi
good food!
On the third and final day of our trip, we woke up early and went to the beach for a swim. Wanted to do some water sports but the station was closed so we just swam and throw ourselves at the waves. Took a bath and went out to do some shopping. Sadly, most of the shops in the malls were closed due to hari raya. Headed to the most prominent statue of Langkawi to take some pictures before we board the ferry back to penang
The great eagle!
Thankfully, the journey back wasnt as bad as the arrival. Didnt feel like throwing up nor did i hear anyone threw up so its all good
Journey back to penang.. Alastair took it from outside the cabin
I shall sum up the whole trip with 1 last picture!
hehe
That's all for the Langkawi trip
Last friday was Mun Yee's birthday.. something funny happened in the morning before we went for work. Doh! So after work, we all went to Queensbay mall for dinner at T.G.I Friday. The service there is absolutely top-notch. One of the best i ever experienced. Moreover, its just a regular restaurant.. like NYNY those kind.. not those 5 star hotel. The food there wasnt too bad. The burger is very huge and of course very filling. The staff there threw a mini party for Mun Yee and forced her to stand on the chair and sing a song lol. Ms Cherry came down to penang last week so she joined us for dinner too. It was a fun filled night for us all. All the best to Mun Yee and Happy 20th once again!
Thats about it. This entry is probably one of the longest i ever written but i did include pictures to compensate for the wall of text!
Update again soon.
bye all and take care!
