Langkawi
It was my sweet 1st flight to a new
beach @ Pulau Langkawi on the lovely 15th September 2012.
3 of us took a late flight to
Langkawi. Reached at 9pm & we managed to rent a car on the price of RM220
for 2 & a half day. Viva Perodua Automatic. LOL. We had difficulty finding
our budget inn as it was slightly secluded with no proper sign board leading us
in.
Half way on the entry to Cenang, we
were blocked by a group of police men. They said there was a rally inside & the
road was used for some street act. I was like I stay there & i need to
check in. They let us in but with a warning. Kuda tendang at your own risk.
Wat? Are you kidding me? Well there were some horses but deng!... The rempits
were the one needed to be aware of. Cuz they were simply down right brainless.
Sweet Inn hotel. The room was fine, the environment was okay. So we didn't make
a huge fuss about it. We took a stroll on the Cenang street where it was still
alive & active along the shops & restaurants.
After taking our supper, each of us
took turn to bath which of course I often volunteered to go last as I shower the
longest. :P We planned our activities for the coming 2 days & was more than
ready to pick our fwen who joined us only at 16th on wards.
I actually find it hard to believe I
was actually in an island with my babes, away from all stress & annoying
people.
Day 1.
We woke up @8am expecting a beautiful
day at beach. Mana tau the rain fall so hardly on the island it only stopped at
9am. Sigh. We then hit the road to Pantai Cenang. However, we end up at Pantai
Tengah 1st. The sand was pretty rough & the
waves were quite strong. Me and my girls we challenging the wave as it kept sweeping out slippers away.
After an hour, we left to seek for
Pantai Cenang. More people & many activities were on going. Fine sand but
much dirtier. Wherever the man kind inhabits, wherever the shits are. Slightly
murky sea water. We initially wanna ride a banana boat but not enough passengers. We
received a better offer - Jet skiing... Wow. That's like new....I mean I never
plan to play that. I was actually looking forward to my 2nd parashooting.
RM150, 3 person for 30 minutes.
Dammit. Thankfully for my driving experience for a year long, that machine was pretty well controlled. It was so cool!!!
No photos were taken though. None of us are willing to stay dry hence, camera
was not a wise choice to bring along. The car key was there, safely guarded by
the taukeh. Well, car is not a subject to be stolen in an island as the thief will have no way to
run. LOL
When we were about to leave, we were offered a cheaper price for a Banana boat ride. Being gal has its advantage, no doubt.
The banana boat was a crazy ride.
When we were about to start, the rain shed. A Nigerian student wanted to join
in. After much negotiation, we let him joined in. He was trying so hard to show
off his no-hand-mama stunt on the ride which was really stupid. I was hoping he fall into sea so I could LMAO hard. The rain shed
heavier & with the speed of the boat, the rain water hit us so sharply they
were very painful to endure. Towards the end of the ride, the rain gets a
little nastier & calmed only when we were about to finished. We said we
don't wanna fall from the boat but the last wave before we could come down
failed us. Wet all over.
What a ride!!! Although we were
reluctant to leave, we have no choice but to get our butt speedily back to
hotel. Cherly will arrived at 2pm. The sands filled our pocket & I wonder how
many gulp of beach water I have swallow. Yerrr............
Dressed up, we were ready to welcome
our fwen @ airport & the rest of the activities planned.
We stop somewhere along the way to
Cable car ride for lunch. It was the luxury yacht terminal & we had our
nice Arabian/Indian meal. Once we reached the park, it was filled with tourists
& the line for the cable car ride was ridiculously long. Hence, we gave it up
for the day & reschedule the activities.
We went to Telaga Tujuh instead. The
popular waterfall was located high in the mountain, very steep road &
stairs but I gotta tell you it was very worthy. The view, the water except for
some jerks there were amazing.
It was so comfortable, I could sit
there whole day. In fact, if only I bring along some shirts, I will get wet in
the cold chilling water.
We forgo the wells which were located
even higher on the mountain. We decided to go to Kuah Town instead for a
seafood dinner & to hunt for chocolates.
Along the way, we bump to another 2
beaches. Pantai Kok & Black Sand beach. Pantai Kok was the cleanest, &
less polluted beach in main Langkawi island. Black Sand beach was rather
mysterious to me. Many untarnished strong boulders along the beach makes it a
little spooky. It wasn't very black to me but in the middle of the sea, there
were a section where it was slightly rocky/murky & dark. I thought it was
mud but it appears to be some dead coral reef or rocks I don't know. I wished I
could walk towards it, get wet & dirty only to find out the truth. Now that
gives me one good reason to go to Langkawi again once I finish traveled all other
island in Mas.
I miss my babes already :)
Journey to Kuah Town was a long one.
It was practically located at far east of Cenang. We had a fabulous dinner & then
came to a mall which sells cheapest chocolates. Many places sells duty free
choco however not all are at the same price. I'm not crazy about chocolate but I
end up buying more than I should. Well, they were so cheap my goodness. I wish
they sell cheaper & wider range of coffee beans/powder selection though. Bias la
u....
1st Day was a bloody long tiring day
with chocolates & 2nd day planning.
