Langkawi 2009

Babah, bless him, treated us to a trip to Langkawi last month. Actually he was treating himself more than us because he had so wanted to go. He had never been you see, and everybody else seemed to have, so I suppose he felt left out.

Anyway, we boarded the plane last month and off we soared through the big blue sky to Langkawi.

Well... we arrived around 7pm.. so not big blue sky per se....

Stayed at Holiday Villa and hired a Nissan Sentra. Pictures would be best to describe our trip.

Checked in and asked the bell hop the best place to eat. He suggested Mangga, a walking distance from the hotel. Very nice....

Babah and I saw the waiter delivered this delicious looking sotong to the mat sallehs next to our table. Asked for the same thing and it was totally delicious ! Sotong bakar Pulau Langkawi.

Woke up early and checked out the beach. We were lucky that we got a room on the ground floor. We have the view and easy access of the gorgeous pool and the lovely beach.

The breeze, the air, the nature was so different, so fresh. Away from industry. A good change for us.

At Pekan Kuah buying chocolates and chocolates and chocolates. Minah kecik tu dok chom sebab nak balik lompat dalam pool.

Wildlife Park. Very nice. Behind my monkeys are baby ducks and their mommies. Aww..... so cute....

Gorgeous pink flamingos. Amazing.

Feeding the rabbits. They were definitely ravenous as they came charging at us. Adik was bitten. Abang after was too overwhelmed by the sheer number of rabbits scrambling to get fed, said "They think I am their mother !! They want me to feed them lah Mummy !!"

It was beautiful. Babah loves it. I am glad. He totally deserves it.

PS : It was embarrassing, really. The last time we took Air Asia was like 2 years ago when we went to Bandung. At that time, we have to fight for the seats just like riding a bus. So imagine our surprise when our tickets showed our allocated seats. I had to ask loads of Air Asia people and other passengers to make sure I read the tickets right. He he…

I think the most beautiful man made scenery in Langkawi. It was so clean and well maintained. We were ogling the yachts.

Mucking about at the beach. Lovely....

Babah nak sangat pi tengok statue helang besaq... Pi lah.... dah mai, na....

Underwater world. Worth every penny. Well kept and beautiful.

Petting (?) the fish. Adik was game....Abang as usual...can get disease lah, itu lah ini lah..

Lunch before we head to the airport. Right in front of the Underwater World. World of advise, don't ever eat here. Hygiene is a foreign word to these people.

Sawah in Langkawi. On the way to the airport finally saw a lorry selling laksa Kedah. Punya dok pusing tak jumpak. Dah nak balik baru muncui !
