Langkawi Vacation

Finally, after a good 3 days vacation, here I am, back to my midnight shift and blogging already. It was a great vacation, especially after being numb from all the dullness and boredom of life. It was an unplanned vacation which went smoothly with the flow and no time to waste. Alright, lets go through the vacation again. With pictures~!

Pre vacation day

Was supposed to finish my shift at midnight, back to hostel, pack up and get some rest. Ended up OT-ing till 8am in the morning doing some stupid shit. Plans backfired. Rushed home, packed some stuff and zoomed to Puchong to get some other stuff. Picked up Layin and went to KLIA to board the transit there. Went to Midvalley next to get some so called necessities -sandals and some flowery pants. Ended up spending 300 bucks even before starting the holiday. Have very weak resistance against worldly temptations. Sigh~!

Anyway, what is done is done. So we took the Putra line to Setiawangsa where Meiseen came to pick us up. I almost boarded the wrong car. Must have given the driver the shock of his life there. Reached Meiseen's place and was served some great home cooked food. To her mom's delight, I finished most of the food. "No more leftovers" she said. Took a bath, helped her parents peel some herbal leaves and took a nap. Meiseen was totally engrossed with her work and forgot all about me. Luckily, I made myself at home. Perhaps too much at home. Woke up an hour before midnight and Meiseen's mom drove us to Pudu for us to board the midnight bus.

They can pose in any style.

The ride to Kuala Perlis was about 7 hours. Freaking long. All i remember during the journey was me praying that my bladder didnt burst. One thing Im always concious about when Im on bus trips. We were pretty excited about the trip and could hardly sleep. Enthusiasm was pretty high. We reached there and took the ferry to Langkawi.

Day 1

 
So much for the enthusiasm

Alright~! We are on the island. First thing we had to do was to get the rented vehicle, hotel, and activity packages. Basically, we went there with an unconfirmed hotel reservation and lots of ambigious stuff. So, you can say that we went there without any preparations. We bargained and got what we wanted. RM50 a day for the car, RM75 a night for the hotel ( we stayed at Eagle Bay Resort) and RM130 each for the marine park and island hoping (the two main attractions of Langkawi).

 
Welcome to Langkawi

 
The agency where we got all our stuff. Basically, all the agency there have the same packages and price. Its all about bargaining but most of them have the same lowest price.

We got to the hotel and checked in. One of the worst hotels ive ever been to. The room was kinda dirty, the floor was made out of those sticky kitchen tiles, the toilet's floor was made of those outdoor tiles and it was leaking everywhere in the toilet. The gals got very gatal later that night when they were under the blanket. Well, thanks to the hotel, we spent most of the time outside. Anyway, in case u missed the hotel's name, it would be Eagle Bay Resort. Wouldnt be a good choice for anyone visiting Langkawi. And so, our vacation began.

Our first destination was the Underwater world. We had to go there because we were to meet at a jetty in that area for the island hopping later on. Went looking around for lunch and found out that food was scarce there. Regretted not stopping by the earlier KFC and McD we saw. Ended up eating some shitty food at the Underwater world. Had a quick lunch and went to get the tickets for the Underwater world. They raised the ticket charge to RM28 now. We managed to get some discount using our student cards. Later found out that they expanded the place a bit,by adding some sections and a lame 3d Cinema. Yea, it was pretty lame. Cheap, broken 3d glasses and we could hardly see the 3d. The gals havent been there before and they were fascinated by the huge fishes and stuff. I just visited it two years ago and it havent change much, so most of the time, sushi was on my mind.

Hmmmmm....no comment

 
Took some pictures here while waiting for the 3d movie to begin

 
Underwater world entrance. Only here I started to realise that I was being manipulated as a photographer and really regretted not bring a tripod. Urgh~!

After the Underwater world, we got drove to the jetty to board the speedboat for Island Hopping. We were to visit 3 nearby islands namely Pulau Dayang Bunting, some island for eagle feeding and Pulau Singa Besar. I just loved the speed boats. Never got bored of the wind in my face and it was really fast, unlike the ferry. Spent about an hour for each activity.

Some pictures I took at the jetty while waiting for the speedboat to arrive.

Finally, a threesome picture

 
And off we went

Beautiful Islands in the area

 
Monkeys that didnt give a fuck to us humans

 
More scenery

 
A beautiful place to swim. The water here was freshwater eventhought connected to the sea. The foreigners were enjoying themselves diving and sommersaulting into the water. Us? The gals didnt have their swimsuits on so we just enjoyed the scenery. My biggest regret here was to accidentally delete a picture later on of this beautiful foreigner who wore a bikini and a tight white tshirt over it. Basically i was enjoying that scenery...

 
We could rent padal boats and kayaks but the time there was limited...or you can call us cheap asses.

 
"Fresh air is good for the boobs!"

 
One unique thing which they had there was this thing called fish massage. They had thousands of catfishes in that pond and once you put ure feet in it, the fishes will come and swim around ure legs giving you a so called massage. The fishes were slimy and it was really ticklish. Meiseen kept couldnt even keep her feet in there for a second.

 
Some tree root which they say looks like a raindeer and they started imagining becoming santarinas. Rudolf the tree root.

 
On the way to the next activiy - eagle feeding

 
This was a great place. The tour guide threw some chicken skin into the water and the eagles would come swooping down to get their food. The whole sky was filled with eagles and it was truly a magnificient sight.

The final island was just some normal island where we could play on the beach. Spent an hour there playing with the sand, water and taking pictures.

 
Was tempted to try this parachute thing but 70 bucks for a 5 minute thrill seemed kinda costly.


 
Short kiwi

 
Meiseen the decoy and some Japanese dude she had her eyes on.

After the island hopping, we went for the cable car ride. If you havent been here during your Langkawi trip, you havent been to Langkawi. At first I thought that it was just some lame cable car thing just like Genting Highlands. Boy, was I wrong. The place here was magnificient. The cliffs were almighty high and were 90 degrees vertical. Our cable car went up at an angle of 45 degrees. Spent most of the time imagining Laurent shitting in his pants if he was with us. Once we reached the top, we could see the whole Island and the sight was breathtaking. Took some pictures there but believe me, the pictures are nothing like the real view.

Basically, the cable car trip marked the end of day one. We came down, and went looking around for dinner. Had some seafood which wasnt really good and went to snap more pictures at a nearby area. Went to get some boost, drank and slept blissfully that night. Woke up with Meiseen smoking beside me....

Day 2

Day 2 was basically scheduled for the Marine Park, Pulau Payar. Woke up about 8, had some crappy breakfast at the hotel and went down to the jetty.

 
A picture we took at the huge Eagle statue near the jetty


 
On top of the boat taking us to Pulau Payar. Applied the sun tan lotion and started sun bathing on top of the boat. Only Layin hid from the sun as she becomes black fast. Meiseen was desperate to add some life to her dead legs and hands. I was enjoying the scenery of others getting a tan.

 
Me enjoying the scenery. Notice Meiseen the decoy on the left

 
Me enjoying the scenery two. Thanks to Layin the decoy. The poor gal didnt know wat was decoy and thought I was taking her. LOL Wicked.

 
Shark feeding. These bloody sharks eat fried chicken. And fried rice...

The main activity here was the fish feeding and snorkeling. We went snorkeling around the place and really enjoyed the underwater scenery. Too bad Meiseen had some problem with her gear. She first took a kids snorkel set where the snorkel was too short and water kept going into her mouth. Changed it for another set where water went into her goggles. LOL

Most memorable part of the marine park was me asking Meiseen to check the shark out. This poor gal was really afraid of sharks. She was slowly heading back to shore when I saw a shark underwater. Thinking that she havent seen a shark before I called out to her. My intentions were harmless and should have sounded like this "Meiseen, hey, check out the shark! Its really beautiful!" But I went "MEISEEN~!! SHARK!! BEHIND YOU!!!!" The poor gal started free styling in front with full speed. I almost drowned from laughter.

After that, we had a lunch break. The food was crappy but it was the most delicious crappy food ever. Snorkeling made us really hungry and thirsty. After that we spent more time sun basking at the beach.

 
Baywatch wannabe

 
Meiseen was still angry at me for hacking her blog

Went back to the hotel and had our bath. After that, we went to a nearby town where we went shopping for chocolates and liquour. It was a chinese town and we had a pretty good dinner there. Got some liqour and chips for the night. Really semangat at that time saying that we wont sleep that night and stuff. We had vodka, sprite and 2 liters of Asahi beer for the night.

Got ourselves high with vodka and sprite and started playing cards. Layin was kinda lucky at cards, I had to finish almost a whole packet of irish cream chocolates which tasted kinda bad and Meiseen almost finished the whole packet of wasabe nuts. The poor thing almost died. Soon, we started bottoms-up ing the vodka and soon the gals knocked off. Bloody hell. I still had 2 litters of beer to finish. Too bad the fainted gals didnt get me sexcited. Started drinking alone, trying to finish up the beer as I wanted to bring back the nice beer bottle. Ended up pretty drunk and layed in bed stoned. Soon, I puked everything out. Must have been the sprite which caused lots of gas in my stomach.

Layin was sleeping peacefully but poor Meiseen was having some major headache and she was freezing over there. I ended up being her slave for the night.

Day 3

Day 3 was spent travelling home basically. Too bad we didnt really have a happy ending. Had some problem with the bus operator and ended up pissed and angry with them. Almost didnt get the ticket home. In the end, they managed to secure us a bus home.

The ride home was a gruelling 9 hours trip. Fucking bus basically stopped everywhere and that made the journey damn bloody slow.

Anyhow, we really enjoyed the holiday and already looking forward to the next. Will get more people for the next one. Destination: Sabah.

Hi there,

I am in the process of writing a book on Malaysia's island resorts. I came across your very interesting travelogue on Langkawi, and I would like your permission to include it with this book.

Basically, the book will portray Malaysia's islands from travelers' perspectives. In return, I'll be more than happy to email you a complimentary softcopy of the book once it's finished.

Please email me at fuzzypete@gmail.com so I can give you more details?

Thanks, Peter

looks like some island orgy, hehehe.

And errrr, peter, whoever you are, don't you think you should visit the island at least once before you write a book?
