I quickly put on my jacket once stepped into the ferry, it was soooo freakin cold inside, we can't see through the window as it had all covered by mist. We arrived at Langkawi Island around 10 am, and get our car from the travel agency just beside the jetty. Other than that, we also purchased the Island hopping tickets, Pulau Payar Snorkeling package, Underwater World and Cable car ticket from that agency. Done the stuff, and we went to collect our rented car, WTF the oil tank was almost empty, probably it was just enough for us to get to the nearest petrol station at Kuah Town. Pumped RM50 into the tank and searched for our way to Langkasuka Beach Resort. It was pretty far from the jetty, it took us 40 minutes to arrive after kena confused by a few shitty signboards. We took a glance on the beach right at the back of the resort, and had pool game on the cafe whilst waiting for the room-service to clean up our room. Checked-in around 2.30pm and had our brunch at some cafe near Cenang Beach. We also bought some cheapo beach pants at some shops nearby, and jumped into the sea afterwards. Along the beach, I would say 90% are foreigners, all wearing bikinis. :p Around 6pm, we get back to the resorts, and had beach volleyball games on the beach. Jeff's toe was hurt accidentally when kicking the balls, and Hian wen's get scratched by some cracked shells. Then, we headed back to the resorts and washed away salty water on the resort’s water pool until 8pm. Our baths took 1 hour every time, since there's only one bathroom. After shower, we drove back to Kuah Town and looked for dinner, and get some beers and liquors at a Duty-Free shop. Got 6 bottles of Corona, 1 vodka, and 1 Tequila. Back to Resorts on 12am, and had some card games, and finished up 5 bottles of corona as 'warming up'.:D Opening the Corona was a headache, instead of using the can opener which we had forgotten to buy, we opened the bottle by using the spoon's tip. LoL
The next day on 18th, woke up 7 in the morning, and had our breakfast at the airport nearby. It was damn expensive wei, my fried rice cost RM7.50 each, without anything, only rice! WTF! Anyway, we were out of time coz our island hopping trip fell on 9.30 am. We 'torture' the car to the Underwater World and waited for the van to pick us up. And guess what? Unlike the other agency, a Malay-po with a motorbike came to us and led us to the jetty 10 minutes away from there. Stupido!! We hopped into the boat and 'flew' off the jetty. The boat ride was really excited, the whole boat was lifted by the strong waves, and struck back to the water, the impact was kinda strong. It was really fun, and dangerous if you're not holding the sides. There are 3 stations for island hopping trip, Pulau Daya Bunting, Eagle feeding, and Pulau Beras Basah. We skipped the Pulau Daya Bunting because there was really nothing looks fun for us. Except some monkeys, which were really naughty, cute, and really acted like human being, they knew how to open the plastic bag wrapping the Gardenia bread, the paper wrapping the Halls Sweet, I was really stunned, didn't know they're so smart. Next, we were drove off from Pulau Daya Bunting after 15 minutes and arrived near some mangrove trees park. There were a lot of eagles looking for foods on the sea. As told by the tour guide, there are 4 types of eagles. We had our last stop at Pulau Beras Basah, and played around in the sea for a while. As compared to the island hopping trip that we had in Pangkor Island 2 years ago, this one was really super boring, the only fun thing was the boat ride and raced with other boats on the sea. We were sent back to the jetty on 2pm and drove back to our resorts. Took some rest, and a shower, and went back to Kenny Rogers at the jetty for lunch until 6pm. We also shopped at the jetty for a while before going back to our resort.
Hours later, we're out for a view at the Eagle Square and then went to the Duty-Free shop again to get 12 bottles of Kampai and 6 bottles of Heineken, since we planned to finish up the Vodka and Tequila on the last night. We played card games again on Langkasuka Beach until 2am with Kampai and Heineken, the only rules was to finish up all those proportionally. None of us get drunk, but everyone seemed going to toilet frequently, stupid beers! And getting beer bellys for sure!
The third day, we had our snorkeling trip at Pulau Payar Marine Park. We were waiting at the lobby at 9.30am for the bus to pick us up to the jetty. All the tourists were gathered and took a ferry to Pulau Payar consequently. Arrived at Pulau Payar around 11pm, and we were given instruction by tour guide. Next, we collected our life jackets, snorkeling gears, put on sun cream and go into the sea. There were 2 areas, snorkeling area, and boat area, and a floating platform on the middle. I'm just too afraid to go that far, while the rest of my friends snorkeled all the way there. Hence I was just snorkeling around the middle part of snorkeling are, which weren't much corals. We had our lunch at 1pm and took a rest on the jetty. We also witness to the shark feeding by tour guides, the smallest one will have 1-2 feet long, and the largest one might reach 4 feet in length. After wards, we went back to the sea until 3pm. and helped the tour guide to clean the island up and refreshed ourselves. Get into the ferry again and slept all the way back to Langkawi island. Took a bath back in our resort, and out for dinner at Seafood restaurant. Just like what I was told by forummers, seafood at Langkawi is really damn expensive, but thanks god they're fresh and delicious. After dinner, it was too early for our booze time :p, we went back to the same duty-free shop again for some chocolates and liquors. I got some chocolates, 2 whiskeys for my dad and some cocktails for myself. Liquors at Langkawi are really dirt cheap man! Later in the night, we had card games on the beach and time for our Vodka and Tequila. We blended them with some Sprite as well to prevent getting drunk so fast. Finished up the Vodka, and Ee Hau started to vomit on the beach. As the game goes, each of us started to drunk, ended up everyone slept on the beach. In the end, Ee hau woke us up when he felt better, and get back to our room together. Thanks God we were still able to make our way back. After all, we weren't drunk like others, still movable with our legs. Haha...alcohol makes me feel fuckin good...(but once a while) xD
The last day on 20th, we had our breakfast in the resorts, packed our stuff, and checked out. After checking out, we went to Underwater World and subsequently Cable car. Nothing much in underwater world, but almost all the species there can be seen in the other aquariums. Wasted my RM15, or I can buy some more liquors. :p Later in the afternoon, we made our way to Cable car. It was a really hot afternoon or maybe I was wearing a damn black tee. We queued up for half an hour to get our gondola up the mountain. The ride was short, but really steep and high. Arrived at the first platform, and then the second one. The wind was really strong, and you can’t actually feel the heat of sun anymore although it was really hot. Really wish to experience when it’s right after raining, or early in the morning, might be something like Genting.
We also had our snacks time up there. We get down the mountain around 4.30pm and went to the airport to return our cars. In the airport, we repack our belongings and checked-in. Our flights were scheduled at 8.15pm, thanks God there's no delays. The whole journey to LCCT took us 45 mins. We left the arrival hall of LCCT at 10pm, and took our dinner at McD, LCCT. At around 1.30am, we took Aerobus from LCCT to KL Central to catch our train back to Ipoh. Right after the bus drove off LCCT, I started to fell into sleep. Honestly I was really exhausted after sleeping for few hours nights before. For me, I felt like the whole bus ride took only 15 minutes, but in fact it took 1.5 hours until my friend woke me up.
Entered KL Central, we went up to the KTM intercity departure hall and waited for our train at 6.30am. Once again I can’t stand anymore, slept on the table at KFC while my friends were 'chor dai di'ing aside. Before catching our train at 6.40pm, I went to 7-eleven to get a pack of Oreo and mineral water for breakfast. Guess what, I continued my sleep again before the train moved away from KL Central. Ended up my Orea and mineral water were remained unopened until we arrived at Ipoh at 10am. My mom came to the station and sent us back home respectively. It was a really wonderful trip, having really lots of fun(esp when torturing the Corolla) and fresh stuff. If possible, a 6D5N trips would be better for us to explore the whole island. Cheers... :)
p/s: not much photos taken, i'll try to uploads a few if possible, and sorry for my poor writing...:( hehe..
