Langkawi Trip: Day 1 & 2

Went to Langkawi last month from 11-14 July'08 with my collegues.
There's altogether 11 of us; me, Agnes, CK, Seng Chee, Yee Lin, Yung Yung, Michael (YY's bf), Tan (our tai lou), Uwan (housefly), Heng (so-called Torres), & Fion (Langkawi people).

Half of us went over to Langkawi on Friday to join the beach run on Saturday morning.
The other half of us(me included) went to spend a night in Agnes' place @ Alor Setar before going over to Langkawi on Saturday morning's ferry.
It was about 1.5 hours drive to Alor Setar from Penang.

Went for dinner at a Thai restaurant (which I can't recall its' name) somewhere at Alor Setar.
They have the most delicious Coconut Jelly that I've ever tasted!
The taste is sooooo heavenly.... I wish I could have a second helping but I was too full d.
Must ask Agnes to bring us there for dinner again... hehe.
Maybe we can export over to Penang and sell ;) (haha.... nice idea leh =D)

Yummy dinner!

The next morning, we took ferry over to Langkawi from Kuala Kedah jetty.
It was quite a smooth ride I would say.
We rented a van to travel about in Langkawi... the van is able to accomodate 12 people.
CK was the 1st person to test-drive the van.
Luckily nothing happen... cos he's only able to make the van reach 80km/h max! HAHA ^^


Refer to Langkawi map before we get lost!

Due to early arrival, we went to town to survey on chocolate & liquor prices.
Here I would like to show off my liquor picture collection ^^(muahahaha...)


Absolut Vodka, Martell Cordon Blue, Hennesey, Chivas Regal.... ^^

We went over to Pantai Cenang to fetch the other 5 who participated in the Beach Run.
Our tai lou's feet was all sore from the Beach Run. (tak boleh jalan properly d)
After that, we went to Malibest Resort where we'll be staying there for the next 3 days.

1st Stop: Underwater World


Me & my penguin friend welcomes you to Underwater World!

We went to Underwater World after having our lunch.
I had a great time there and took a lot of photos. But sadly, I don't wanna over-spam my blog with too many photos so I just selected out a few to post here.


Turtle swimming... behind it was a shark.


The biggest stingray I've every seen...

I saw a really huge stingray... was amazed by the size of it. I think it is at least 1.5m long.
Now I know what killed the Crocodile Hunter.


Beautiful sea creatures... beautiful sight!


Lovelace from "Happy Feet"

The penguins were my favourite!
I saw Lovelace in the flesh... hahaha.


Went to the North Pole

There was also a short 3D movie showing during our visit there.
It was my 1st time watching movie in 3D... cool. Evertyhing has its' 1st time. =p
Maybe I'll go for IMAX 3D movies in the future... haha.

OK. I will stop here for now.
Will continue on my 2nd stop in the next post.
