Somethings are not as they seem.

A little overdue, but...

Went to Langkawi for a 4 days 3 nights stay with the usual people. The morning of the day we were supposed to depart for Langkawi, we made a trip, up north, to Ipoh to visit Jia Wei. Came back to Subang and finish packing before heading off to LCCT for our flight - yeap, we're crazy like that. Because all our trips are so spontaneous, it always turn out great.

The nutcases.

When everyone was fast asleep,
this is what we're doing.

Savedhi!

Arrived at Langkawi in the evening. After renting the car and stuff, we headed off towards our hotel in Burau Bay. Berjaya Resort is really relaxing and amazing but to be honest, it is a little inconvenient. We should have stick with the hotels along Cenang beach :( Oh wells, it wasn't all that bad. At least it's quite, relaxing and have an amazing toilet :)

Everyone seem really happy here somehow :)

Went to have dinner in Perdana Quay at Golden Wok Live Seafood. Although the environment there was nice, the food was a little overpriced. Took some pictures in Perdana Quay before heading back to the hotel.


Didn't really do much for the first night as everyone was pretty tired. Only Kim Eik and David had a little fun with the mini bar in the room, while Fiona had her fun with the camera and light.

Woke up and headed to Oriental Village. Went onto the cable car there. The view of 700 meters above sea level is amazing. And the temperature there was just right; chilly with a bit of warmth from the sun. We could see all the way to the lighthouse in Perdana Quay. Overall, awesome! But, we should have ate a little before going up. There wasn't much choice of food once we reached the top. Snapped some pictures from above. Oh! Met a Hongkie couple and they gave us a free polaroid picture. Love it.

1276.

The view outside our room.

Our breakfast for the 3 mornings.

Picture perfect ♥

Planking.

Really enjoy having their positive auras around.

Our hotel from the cable car.


Stopped by Kota Mahsuri on the way to Kuah town. Wanted to pay Mahsuri a visit but all of us ended up having ice-cream outside instead.


Went to Langkawi Parade to stock up on our inventory. Bought about Rm100 worth of food and drinks just to bring back to the hotel. Had dinner at some random mamak stall before we continued roaming around. The food tasted pretty good and the price was rather cheap. Win!


We walked the night market near the market a little. Pasar Malam in Langkawi. That's my first. Headed to Cenang beach after. The street along Cenang beach comes alive at night. No wonder my brother recommended us to stay there, but unfortunately he was a little too late and the hotels were all fully booked :( Love the beach at night. The sky there was filled with stars. The moonlight reflected the sea nicely. The warm sea breeze were blowing. Add them all together with the relaxing sound of the waves. Love every bit of it. Took some pictures and headed back to the hotel for some fun.

Nothing beats being there;
but still breathtaking nevertheless.

All 7 nutcases finished the whole 1 litre Absolute within half and hour or so. And as expected, 2 out of the 7 was down, the other 2 was tipsy and the remaining, well, we quite sober - proud! Took care of the 2 drunkards and went to sleep after. The situation was insane. I guess that's why there were so much to tell the next morning :)

Headed to Pasir Tengkorak after everyone was awake. Basically we spent the whole day playing with sand under the sun. The girls didn't plan to get wet cause there wasn't a place that we could change or wash up. But in the end, we - Fiona, Chor Koon and I - got thrown into the sea as well. Well, should have seen that coming. Somehow, Pei Shi and Michelle managed to remain dry though.

Pei Shi

Michelle

They plank everywhere!

Fiona getting drenched.

Chor Koon's turn.

Don't ask.

Spot the dead body :O

The body got washed up.

Um...

Potential Sunsilk models.


Headed to Oriental Village to grab dinner but unfortunately, the shops were about to close. Went back to the hotel to shower. While the others were resting, a few of us went to buy some food from the nearby mamak. I think we've been to every mamak in the west side of peninsular Malaysia! Anyway, after eating, we spent our last night in Langkawi doing the usual. Killing our livers. This time, again, 2 were sort of gone.

Checked out from our room and planned to go Island Hopping. I swear, they are the most spontaneous people I've ever met. Awesome-ness. We rented our own private boat and had our very own private tour to 2 famous islands. One was the Pregnant Maiden Island and the other was, I forgotten the name of it.

The view I woke up to every morning.

The benches.

Toilet.

The first stop was the Pregnant Maiden Island. There was a free fish spa and a lake for the public to swim. All of them soaked their feet into the water for the otters (I think) to nibble on their dead skin. I'm an extremely ticklish person and a little too chicken to put my feet into it, so I became their photographer :) Then, as expected, the guys jumped right into the lake with no end. Apparently the lake was really deep, so the others remained dry.

On our very own speedboat.

Pregnant Maiden Island.

Fish spa. Or should it be otters spa.

Yeap, everywhere.


Went to feed the eagles next. Well, more like our tour guide fed and we watched. We didn't get to see the huge eagle statue at Dataran Lang, so I guess watching the real eagles made up for something. They're huge! Especially the silver ones, the locals call them Langkawi.

Langkawi.

For the last stop, we went to an island, which I've forgotten the name of it. Again, the guys went bizarre and the girls got drenched. This time, Pei Shi and Chor Koon were dry. Had our fun until it was time to go.


Headed back to the hotel. Because we've already checked out, us girls had to clean ourselves in the toilet by the pool. Miserable-ness! But the guys were worse. Apparently they had to shower in the public. Speechless.

Went to the airport and bid goodbye to Langkawi and our wonderful trip. Though there were a few unwanted incidents, the important thing is that we had fun most of the time and well, I guess we just have to look at the bright side of things. Though I'm still devastated that I lost all the pictures I've taken in Langkawi :(

A nice morning walk that would be better with company.

Bye Langkawi.
Despite the unwanted incidents, it's one amazing trip to remember.
