And Off to Langkawi We Went- Day 1

<3 11th and 12th of January 2013 <3

Greetings from a super high Purple Dinosaur to all of you. I know it's been a while since I came back from my Langkawi Island trip, but I'm still resting. Thus, I've taken an immeasurable time to recover from lethargic-ness from a long vay-kay-tion!

We sat bus to Jmin's uni in Perlis. UNIMAP. Great place. I love that University. Though I couldn't really rest properly because the seat was narrow. There were two double seats in a row. I'm so used to sitting in a single seat when I travel back to K.L. and I have to bear with this for a two hour journey. Got kinda pissed with the driver as the bus was also late. And And, we missed the stop. Shell, Simpang Empat. HAHAHAHA. Looking back I find it really funny. I knew we had to get down no matter where we were. We walked like people from the city who got lost in the middle of nowhere and there's only a long road, leading us to the town. *Hyperbole* The most welcoming shout-out we were greeted from drivers and bikers was : Ah Moi! Wo Ai Ni. And off they run: weeeee~

Jmin was really smart. She spotted our Plusliner bus and said: I am very sure they are on the bus. And then she called me, I didn't pick up the phone as I was panic-stricken since we missed our stop. LOL.
And bla bla bla, at last we got down and started walking and then we saw two shadows walking towards us, Jmin asked a friend to accompany her to pick us up, JJ. He introduced himself as JJ Lin Jun Jie. HAHAHAHA. I'm glad that she had someone to accompanied her. It's not that it's dangerous, I mean yes, it's dangerous. At night. Too quiet and it can become really creepy. Wooooo~

The University's hostel was really new. All of Jmin's housemates were there. They went home only on the next morning. I couldn't sleep. It was really hot. Maybe I didn't wear as comfortable as I can be to enable myself to fall asleep. This is where you wish to fall asleep instantaneously because you were so grumpy being awaken by the slightest noise.

Imprisonment to keep the tiny insects off.

 Finally, I fell asleep at 3 a.m and we need to wake up by 5.30 a.m. Did I mention to you I was really tired due to an advance spring cleaning at home before the departure? So now, you can imagine, hahahaha. I'm so sorry, I might bore you guys with my grumpiness for first 5 paragraphs but I promise it'll be fun. LOL

Waking up at 5.30 a.m. with Jmin walking up and down searching for her things. She's blur due to post exam stress or maybe she's just blur. :P I took a quick shower because there was no hot water and I woke up when the cold water hits my face. *Brrrrr* We finally stepped out of the Uni and our taxi's were here. Weeee. Excited mode: On!

We are ready! lml

 We reached the Jetty around 6.45 a.m. and started to line up to purchase the tickets. Sadly, the earliest ticket which is on 7.30 a.m. was sold out, thus, we bought the next trip, which is at 9.30a.m. We dilly dally had our breakfast. I had Roti Canai Kosong and a set of half boiled eggs and a cup of barley drink. After that, we even intruded a hotel near Jetty to borrow their toilet. Outrageous.*Like a boss*

What happens when you leave girls with beautiful scenery and a camera? We started to cam whore.

SWAG level 99

The Girls

 9.30 arrived and we packed up and get ready go on board.

My luggage was the backpack and a handbag.

Smiling happily like they were given candies.

In the boat. Couldn't sleep much actually. JJ Lin is the person behind Jmin. Heh :P

After an hour or so journey, we finally arrived in Pulau Langkawi. Home to the renowned Mahsuri's Legend and the Great Dataran Lang. <3 <3 <3

Three cutie pies.

 

SWAG level 200.

We were pursuit by a male, 20/30 years old on the rent-a-car package. The great thing is that not only that, he has other great packages as well. Snorkeling in Pulau Payar only cost us RM100, inclusive of the two-way tickets and a meal and the snorkeling gear and buoyancy aid. Not bad at all. We gotten a Proton Saga, new, but not FL model for a reasonable price at RM140 excluding petrol for 3 days.

Off we go traveling to the nearest restaurant for a hearty meal as a celebration of our arrival. A chinese coffee shop serving wantan mee, keoy teow and economy rice. I had economy rice with 3 dishes for RM6. Pricey but it's how it's priced over there. Mamak meal would be slightly cheaper.

Tam Jiak face

The view while I was driving. *Captured by Jmin*

Legend became myth. Here we are in the Mahsuri Exhibition Center/ Mahsuri Mausoleum. I'm not sure which was it. All I know is that the entrance fee is RM7 and it was well spent. We girls love history. There were pictures and storyboard explaining everything. I felt a bit closer to Mahsuri's life.

Boo Yahh~

Adik nak pergi mana?

Grind grind grind.

Yea. We are that bad ass. :P

Now do you get me when I say it's worth the RM7? :D

Peaceful and undisturbed heritage.

I like ze windows. Great workmanship. Lot's of patience needed.

Mahsuri in the making. LOL. Baby's invi level 1000.

Awaiting for their prince charming. They'll come soon enough. :D

There's this well and it is believed that if you were to wash your face with the water from the well, you will be awet muda. Forever young. Or also, any of your wishes will come true. I was curious and thus I went and asked a Mak Cik: Why is it that it will come true? She said: It's the niat (Intention). Good intention and the effort to travel from afar to visit this place. I Oooh-ed and Ahhhh-ed.

Ze well.

We didn't miss any chance.

We paid our respect to her. :)

2nd Destination of the day: Permandangan Indah. It's basically a  roadside with a birds-eye-view.

It exists in the map and you can check in there too. LOL

*Yawn*. Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

The picture says it all.

Snap. Snapping. Snapped.

3rd Destination: Beras Terbakar. Nothing much to visit actually. Was a paddy field but when the war came, our Laksama or Bendahara decided to set the paddy field on fire to prevent the resources to fall onto Siam hand.

Lot's of souvenir shops.

Tadaa!

The story.

On the way to Geopark Oriental Village. Before we reached, we saw lots of yacht. Pronounced as "yought".

4th Destination: Off we go to Pantai Kok, to check in into our hotel. Geopark Oriental Village, next to the cable car ride. Got decoration mimicked the Korean Series of Winter Sonata.

I was sweaty and not smelling appealing I suppose. Better take a quick shower before the cable car ride.

Told ya. Ala Korean.

Korean in Langkawi. How awesome is that? O.O

Our room for RM 128. We booked online for Agoda website. Apparently, we were overcharged. Ah, nevermind.

I looked like a ghost. But the photographer's friend was really really good looking. Was imaginatively drooling over him. Awwwww~

"You gotta be kidding me". I was having sweaty palms. Yesh, I'm fear of heights.

Take a gorgeous picture and keep calm. (Chivas Inspired Quote) LOL

Let me Down!!! NOW!!!

I love the view. God-Like view. Bird's eye view. Great view. But I couldn't concentrate because in my brain, all I could think of is when will I fall? And it's like only a matter of seconds I'm going to hear the scary machine malfunction noise. *PARANOID*

Amazed. Simply amazing

We arrived onto a station high above. I'm alive!!! *still paranoid*

I know you'll agree with me that the height is too much. Too much for an Acrophobia person to handle. :P

I don't want to come down. I'll have a house there. I'm just kidding.

Great architecture. Perfecto.

Opposite us would be Thailand. Koh Lipe Island.

The skybridge was closed. I was relieved. XD. But the girls wanted to visit it. Too bad. HAHAHA

It took my breath away. Have it taken yours yet?

Kate Moss in the making. :D

Gisele Bündchen in the making. LOL

Rosie Huntington in the making. :D

My turn to Swag.

Outfit of the other half of the day. Confusing?

The arrival of Her Royal Highness with her Strawberry Ice-Cream. :O

The next Charles and Keith ambassador. Buahahaha.

I don't know why I did that but I know it looks stupid. :D

Sexy mustache.

This is what happen when you don't let me down. *Sweaty palms* For Malaysian citizens the price for the cable car ride was RM15.

 

 

And we finally landed safely. :D

Frosty the Snowman~~

 

Jmin found out this man cheated on her with another girl. Quoted from her: He's mine!

Look what we have here. Tokyo in Langkawi. WOAHHH!

Aneong-ha-sae-yo

Pretty deco of the tree with a pretty lady.

We're too hot for you to handle. LMAO!

My new pet, Rabbit!

5th Destination: Air Terjun Telaga Tujuh. HEHEHE. We managed to hike halfway only because we weren't wearing the proper shoes. We also didn't manage to play with the water because we didn't bring extra clothes. And AND camera ran out of battery. :( We only managed to take pictures with the Iphone only. T_T stay tuned. :D

The waterfall sound. Calms us down pretty quickly.

 6th Destination of the day: Perdana Quay. I bought a bottle of 500ml Merlot  for RM13 from a nice looking shop in Perdana Quay. Wanted to drink it but my sore throat don't allow me to.

Outfit of the night. Acrylic Shawl.

Such a talented photographer. ME! <3

 To be continued..  with Day 2 and Day 3. Stay tuned. :D
