Jarjarbink in Wonderland - Langkawi

Yeay! Finally, thank to God Almighty to made the trip successfully. Even though there were shouting here and there from my mother. Well, that will be my last family trip - I had fun but Im not happy with my mother, to tell you the truth. Ok, let me finish my trip to Langkawi 7 - 9 April 2010. It was 3D/2N trip. It should be 28 pax but 2 unable to tagged. I was so sorry for Arul. We booked the ticket like 6 months back to get the cheap ticket. RM78 for return and added RM13 for the Airbus. Total RM91. well, it was a good deal, i think.

Day 1 - 7 April 2010.

All came to my house. We need to take the Airbus from KL Sentral. Our flight scheduled at 1610hrs. We went out from the house around 1200hrs. Aa, we're not going to make it, shoot, I said to myself. We were still at KL Sentral 1300hrs. Crazy. We took 1400hrs bus - it should be a 40 minutes ride but the bus trip took longer almost 1 hour plus. I just at Raziman in awe, hoping he would understand my situation. We reached LCCT just in time at 1530hrs. I just asked to collect everybody's IC and checked in for them. Tiny problem was when Mak Yayah didnt bring any evidence about Caca - no Mykid card or whatnot. The guy at first didnt want to let Caca boarded at all. Thanks to the supervisor!! So, we marched towards the departing gate but Pak Ri, Anton & Zizul were stopped by the officer. The luggage problem - oversized for hand luggage. Ohh no!! Well, I did gave them warnings not to bring big bags - like usual, they ignored me now you know hehehe. While in the bus, I gave Raziman to keep all itinerary including our Air Asia's + Airbus + Langkawi to do list because he had a larger document bag. Mine only the I heart Bali beanie bag. And he left all the documents somewhere. And Wawa blaming me - making her wierd face, and my mom like always nagging, blaming and whatnot. how would i know this kind of misopportunate happen? well, shits happened all the time okay. Raziman said to me that we could printed all of it again. no worrys. i kept the itinerary in my emails. luckily, all of us managed to board the plane. we had a smooth journey, ahaha and a few bumps with the mr. cloud. i loike that. like riding a bumper car woohooo. after 45 minutes on the air, we finally touched the ground. and they started again about the itinerary. i was like OK I GET IT. NO NEED TO EXAGGERATE THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! I WILL CLEAN THIS MESS. so, we got our pregios and headed to the apartment Sri Lagenda in Kuah town. The apartment was superb - open the front sliding door and splushhhh into the swimming pool. The pool is big and in a good depth. I did a few laps to cover my many months of swimming. well, its just not enough. After swimming, we head to a restaurant for the dinner somewhere a little bit outskirt of Kuah. The food was okay. I enjoyed the Tom Yam Seafood. After dinner, sent off others to hotel & the apartment, Raziman & me headed to Cyber Cafe - to printed out the itineraries again. But, wawa still not satisfied. She said that's not the one she prepared. Ah well, luckily Nani did grab a free copy of Langkawi while in the airport lounge. I went to bed early because tomorrow we will had a long day. good night, langkawi.

Day 2 - 8 April 2010

We woke up early as we need to be in the Kilim Geoforest for our mangrove tour. We were greeted by Pak Li as he is the operator for this tour. We took only for 2 hours trip to Bat Cave, Crocodile Cave, Eagle Feeding, Fish Farm and to the Open Sea (Andaman). At the Bat Cave, that was fun to me. i've never been into any cave. the cave just a small one. I managed to see the bats hanging upside down (sleeping i guess). The smell Oh! my. extremely smelly. i think that was cause by the bat's dropping. then, we hop onn again to our boats and head to Crocodile Cave. I made a joke to Wawa - hey sis, do you remember the movie about the big, bad ass croco a few months back? she's like, CUT THE CRAP. NOW YOU ARE SCARRING ME. Mother just laughed it out. we watched the movie together. The tour guide said its just a name after the cave. no actual crocodile there. the cave mouth looked like a croco. well, nothing much for that cave. the third one, we went to the fish farm. So, i met this sting ray fish. we fed it. the skin, AWESOME. so smooth like silk. the fish was so friendly. i missed the moment when i touch one of the stingrays. Then, we met IKAN PANCUT (shooting fish). they got the name because they can shoot water to the air. So, the guy put some bread on the stick and yadaa yadaaaa the fish shoot the water and the bread dropped off from the stick. And the guy showed one more trick - put some bread on the finger and put the finger closely to the water - tadaaaaa the fish jumped off to get the bread. that was fun!! i just like that part only. then after that, we hopped on to our boat again to the Andaman Open Sea. So the tour guide guy showed us some spectacular sights and yeah he said that i could go to the southern thailand using the route ie: to Satun & Lipe. that's the end of our tour. We did the touristy stuff ie. mahsuri mausoleum, black sand beach, wooheyyy i passed by the Datai Bay - the sea was awesome - turqoise water, super white sandy beach..it really gave me the retreat!! My purpose to come again to Langkawi just to re-visited the cable car. too bad, it was closed due to its service maintenance. i was so frustrated. i really want to go up there. shoot. i really have to come again soon - ermm beach hunt maybe. later in the afternoon, last stop at Idaman Suri - heaven for all housewives, mothers and even children - duty free zone. the chocolate was super duper cheap. nahhh i didnt buy anthing for myself - a bag of daim, one piece of I heart Langkawi T-shirt and tie-dye shirt. that's all. we had dinner at Cenang area. cool place to hangout. lively nightlife weeee. i really like the vibe. but, cant expect a quiet night in this area - pubs, drunken farang & etc. Cenang area is the best place for backpackers.


Day 3 - 9 April 2010


Early morning, we went out for breakfast. we went to eagle square to snap pictures. we went to jetty point - to do some last minute shopping. had lunch near airport. continued to shop at Haji Ismail Group. we were so lucky to had a nice owner. she let us to stay at the apartment till 8pm. so, we went back there and refreshen ourselves. i got my shower. off we went to the airport. so, this was the most chaos time of all. some of the ladies didnt took up for the extra luggage. now, they feel abit scared if they had to pay the extra fees. and then, my mom shouted. arghhh i felt so stress. this is supposed to be a holiday - not to scream here & there!! mom, im really sorry - i really disappointed with you all the way through. i wont come to any family holiday with you again - EVER. and we were lucky for one more time - the ticket officer, she helped us for the luggage. so, none of us needed to pay any extra fees. we were so happy. we reached LCCT after 45 minutes flight. we waited our bags at the carousel and yeay that was fast service. and we hopped to skybus - the journey took around 1 hour. and we were stuck there. the guys went to take the cars. ladies just hangout at the lobby. we're like a stranded passengers. that was so funny. after 30 minutes, the guys arrived with cars to depot us back home. well, that was it.
langkawi trip. definitely, im going there again. i must go to the cable car and BEACH HUNT!! maybe next year - via land! Ahoy!!!!!!!
