Langkawi Sept '07
Date: 29th Sept - 1st Oct
Participant: 4 - Mun Leng, Nyuet, Dhass and me :D
Weather: Rainy most of the time during afternoons
Day 1
Journey to KL Sentral to catch the LCCT shuttle bus. FYI, journey is freaking long from Klang~! Anyway, AirAsia flight AK6038 was on time~! And we got there like 1:40pm? Somewhere there.Of course the first thing we did was get a car to go around. There was this group of people waiting at the airport. We got an Iswara aeroback for RM50 perday. Quite sad condition and he dared to tell us that it's new~! WTF?!?! Doesn't matter, we got it for RM120 as the package. Off we go, with that bit of petrol left in the car. Then we checked into our budget hotel; Malibest in Pantai Cenang. If you're looking for a place to stay, this is quite good. Cost RM120 per nite and you have this small chalet that faces the beach and sea~! Clean and comfty. The name of our chalet was Timun. They have all the weird weird names for the chalets.
A room with a view..not bad eh? So after that, all of us were actually quite sleepy, everyone was telling me that they didn't get much sleep the night before. Same goes for myself.Dropped our stuff and went for lunch. After that, we got to the nearest duty free shopping place. Bought ourselves the first batch of beer and chocolate. We were in the celebration mood and Dhass suggested we get the Moet(champagne), which we did and we finished it that night itself~! Anyway, we got back and enjoyed the view and stuff. Got ourselves registered for a snorkeling session the next day. It was RM130 per pax.We bought lots of snacks that we can munch on. We just went to the beach and enjoyed the breeze while we chit chat over stuff.Took our bath and we got ready for dinner~! Coco beach...hmm, I would say I won't go there again. Expensive and not worth it la.Altough the restaurant is next to the sea la. Don't trust the advertisements you see in the tourist info brochure :P After that we drove around till we reach Kuah town, and planned on the places we want to go the next day. Dhass saw something on the internet that suggested a night spot called Reggae Bar, but when we found the place, it was a little creepy la. So we turned back. :P So we got back and opened up our champagne. After a short drinking session by the beach, we got back to our rooms and called it a day.
Day 2
Woke up at 7 to get ready for our snorkeling session. Destination: Pulau Payar Marine Park. Sadly we din bring our camera, coz we were thinking that no one would look after our stuff once we all go in the sea. So we got all ready for it and waited for the bus to come pick us up from our hotel. The journey took about 1 hour to get to the jetty and another hour in our ferry. So in the end we got on this marine park and met our friendly guide, Rina. Been a while since I snorkelled, so had this phobia again and took me a while to get used to it again. The underwater world was fantastic~! It was raining~!!! Pretty heavy at once. Nyuet and ML was nice enough to bring me around considering I don't know how to swim. I LOVE YOU GUYS..THANK YOU. And Nyuet thought me how to move myself in the water...which is also cool. But in the end, I still don't know how to swim if I didn't have that life jacket strapped on me. About an hour later, we got out of the water and had our lunch. Fried chicken+sausages+biscuit+apple+bread+mineral water. We got to see the feeding of garoupa and baracudda. Interesting. The nicest part of our snorkelling session was after lunch when the guide brought us to deeper waters to see more stuff! I guess the sad thing about this place was the rubbish~! And also the dead corals. The underwater creatures were quite interesting. Oh ya, the session after lunch, we put on the fins and I could navigate myself :D only a bit slower la, and the ang moh was swimming past like no one is there. Splashed all the water at us~! So inconsiderate~!It was indeed an interesting experience. Too bad no pics :P
So tired after we got back, and had too much of beer, think I slept off after I took my bath. The rest of them went around and took pics. At night, we went Kuah. Then went shopping for souvenirs and other stuff. Bought sumore chocolates~! Then we stumbled upon one restaurant that we had this big seafood feast of our own. We ordered garlic butter lobster, curry cuttlefish, plum sauce chicken, kailan, thai style fish. Excellent meal~! The lady boss was very nice to us too. Got back and spent some time at Debbie's place, an Irish bar across the road from our hotel. Dhass wanted her flaming lamborghini and she got it...two times! . We got back after our drinks and slept.We didn't really track our time when we're there Kept my watch in the drawer and rarely look at my handphone. Totally relaxed~!
Day 3
None of us wanted to wake up~ Coz we all knew that we're going back already. But the sea was rough in that morning. Strong winds.
After about 9 plus, we got up and went for breakfast at the Breakfast Bar near our hotel. Had nasi lemak and horlicks. Not nice la..Just was craving for some nice and hot food, turns out to be quite disappointing. We finished and we went for our alcohol shopping before we make our way to the airport. And then the holiday ends......... Reached KL Sentral about 5 plus and I reached home about 730pm.
Conclusion: This was great. Travelling companion was excellent too. And this was quite an enjoyable trip. Can't wait for the next one..if we all have one. :D
