Hey hey hey, I am back!
I had a short getaway in
Langkawi Island, the duty-free island during last weekends. The vacation was just okay, nothing much. The only thing that spoils the whole trip was the hotel room that I stayed, it is the worst hotel I ever stayed in my life, more like a motel than a 3-stars hotel! In order to make myself asleep at night, I need to intoxicate myself every night before I go to bed.
Reaching LangkawiKinda lazy to blog about it but by request from MeiWan, I'm gonna post up some photos and summary of the trip, I will tell you the whole story when you're back okay?
Day 1 - Underwater World, Cable Car, Shop for Liquor and Chocolate, Chime Sheraton HotelWent to visit penguins since the Underwater World is just 5 minutes drive from my superb lousy hotel - Asenia Hotel Langkawi. Of course there are other marine life such as fur seal, seahorse, sea dragon, and etc.

Can You See The Penguins?
Kissing PenguinStop by at the "Pearl Harbour" of Langkawi for lunch before heading to the Oriental Village. Took cable car up to the hill, 700m above sea level and the view from top of the hill was breathtaking.

Met Sebastian after came down from Oriental Village and he brought us to buy cheap liquor and chocolate. We are aware that they are cheaper than in KL but we didn't expect it to be that cheap, you get what I mean? My sister and I were like some kind of "Jacun" when we saw the prices on the liquor,
"OMG, 1.70RM per can of beer! Cheaper than soft drinks in KL!",
"Chivas or JD?" and
"I want to bring a canon of Chivas home!", and the worker in the shop standing behind us was smirking at us when we said that.
After dinner we went back to hotel to bath and then we head to the most happening night spot in Langkawi - Chime Sheraton Hotel. Quite a cool place to chill and drink, it has live band every night but too bad the band on that night wasn't good according to Sebastian and they sang slow songs like Bryan Adam's, Whitney Houston's and ABBA, yeah ABBA for God's sake! Played pool with my sister and at the same time teaching my little brother to play. I love the toilet especially, my reaction when I first entered the toilet was "WHOA!" with a big-O on my mouth.
I was here!

Pool Noobie but Acting Cool Day 2 - Snokerlling, Four Seasons ResortIt was my first time snokerlling! I got terrified at first when I saw so many fishes swimming in the sea, you know I am very afraid of animals. But my sister and brother insisted that I should go down with them since we had already paid so much for the trip.
First attempt, soaked my legs inside the sea and there come all the fishes, feeling very "geli" and I screamed and ran up to the platform when there is a fish sucked my leg. My sister and brother do not let me go easily, keep convincing me that the fishes will swim away when they see me.
Second attempt, when I finally get myself into the sea, I swam very fast without looking at anything and reached the coast when my brother and sister were still in the middle of the sea, looking at fishes and coral happily.
Third attempt was much better, taking my time to swim across the coral and observing fishes. Hands rest aside me, trying to avoid fishes that swim in front of me. I didn't dare to touch anything inside the sea, not even the coral. By the way, I thought I heard the sound of fishes flapping their fins but my siblings said they didn't, anyone has the same experience as me?
Didn't have much pictures of the snokerlling trip because I didn't bring my camera along, just have a few photos from my sister's camera phone. I should have bring my camera along and snap photos of my little brother when he was floating on the sea, so funny, like a big fat pig floating on the water with his anxious look.

Look at the floating pig on my left! *LMAO*Nothing to do at night, so we went to visit
Four Seasons Resort after dinner, the most luxury hotel in the island. The cheapest rate is 1830RM per night, but the place was really really spectacular! It was so huge and we almost got lost in the hotel. It will be like a day in paradise if I could spend one whole day in the hotel and enjoy the facilities.
Day 3 - Cenang BeachBumming around at the beach for awhile, not in the mood as the beach wasn't beautiful, but the beach at Tanjung Rhu was great! Then we went for brunch at Kuah Town. Did some last minute shopping then drove to airport, flight at 1250.
Bon voyage Langkawi!
p/s: I am very tired and I have to go to bed now. Will post up more photos next time and also photos of marine life, so stay tune!
