assalamualaikum,
finally our plan to langkawi was made real after going through lots of obstacles. alhamdulillah. that was my first time ever. kesian kan.
the total lost was RM300. some said we could get much cheaper package but xpelah. dah berlalu. next time, iA, i'll make sure, i'll do the planning, booking and so on so forth earlier so i could get the best cheaper deal.
we arrived at 12. we took the ferry from Kuala Perlis and the ticket cost us RM 18. please don't say it's not cheap. i guessed the price was fix except to the Langkawians. according to someone, they could get cheaper price if they show they could prove they were originally from Langkawi.
our first pit-stop was the motel that cost each of us RM 50 for two days and one night including car rental. total rental amount was RM 400. some said it was not cheap. in fact, we kena tipu. they said. uwaaa. we just went without much knowledge and none of us were from Kedah and some had been to Langkawi but many years ago. information dah xvalid. our first destination was Pantai Chenang. They pronounced it chair-nang. say with me, chair-nang. the view was breathtaking except the censored views. lucky, the day we went there was a day before 1st ramadhan. free show, i tell you. all the mat salehs were laid down on a piece of cloth under the sun frying their own body. shhh. wasting time. i spend a lot to protect my skin from UV. money and time. everything. buying umbrella lah. tinted the car lah. just to make sure UV won't be able to kiss my skin.
oopss, i got you minah saleh. heheh. the view was much more breathtaking. excuse my poor phone resolution. read: not iphone.
tak sah jalan tanpa makanan. we stopped here to fuel up our energy. cheap and they prepared variety of foods. senang kata, food galore. but, for those who deemed for 'kebersihan'. you better find a better place. for me, i don't care so much. selagi takde tikus lipas. setakat lantai kotor penuh tapak kasut. jalannnn.
later in the afternoon, we rushed to the next destination, Langkawi SkyCap. our mission was to reach the peak of Gunung Machinchang. what a nice name. we had fun. I had fun. I'm not an acrophobia person. in fact, i want more. once was never enough. when the cable was moving down, i joined my mates shouting a bit just to release the stuck adrenaline. acehh. tak mengaku takut. ego!
view from the peak of Mount Machinchang. what a nice name she had. 708 metres above sea level. missiles boleh sampai ni. eh, xde kaitan. my deepest condolences to the passengers and crews of MH17. spend a minute to pray for them and our nation, Malaysia.
sungguh, this world is occupied with water.
looking from above, we're just as tiny as dots in a piece of blank A4 paper. lagi mau belagak. we're no one. this pic was captured from the second station.
outside view of the cable car station. they created this small garden, Naminara Garden. It resembled Jeju Island. ada la sikit-sikit. buat hilang kempunan for those who haven't been there and long to be there like me.
i bought nothing. no souvenirs. i had promised to myself that i won't bring rubbish home. hehe. ayat penyedap hati. actually, camnilah nak hidup. travel light with tight budget.
on the first day, on the way home from Gunung Machinchang. we stopped at the lookout point when we could see the bird view of Langkawi. if you were lucky enough, you'll get to see the airplane takes off. i was not lucky enough.
Then, our next pit-stop was a port where the orang kaya kept their yachts. perghh. mood berangan ON. i wanna get married to orang kaya. life will be easy and fun. i could spend my holidays in a peaceful island. sailing together through days and nights. having moonlight dinner.oh, so funnnyy.
To wrap up our Day 1, we went out to Duty Free Mall that night to buy chocolates as the souvenir for our family. i felt like loser coz i always started my Ramadhan with tarawih at the nearest mosque or surau. ritual changed. tarawih sendiri but the feeling was different.
Day 2: WAKING UP IN LANGKAWI
the first day of Ramadhan. we woke up at 4 and having our sahur at KFC 24 hours. that was my first time, first experience doing such crazy thing. i called it crazy because there were two boys presence. 6 girls and two boys. our guardian angles. acehh. kami berlapan naik Avanza.
next morning, our day began earlier than usual coz it's Ramadhan. we're fasting and we wanted to avoid the hot weather.
with the tight budget and shot time, we had to be very clever in choosing the best places to visit. We did some last minute research. we preferred this. Island hopping. it cost us RM 30 per head. tidak. some said that the price was not cheap. uwaaa. i read from a blog. she got RM 16 per head. maka, do research before you go. not only to save time but also, to save your budget.
the view was magnificent. i'd never been to oversea. that's why macam over excited, for those who had been to overseas, they got to sea more than what i could see. btol x?
Pulau Dayang Bunting.
i love this view. worth the bumpy, crazy, challenging journey. all my body ached. we were so lucky to meet the rain on the way to visit the first island.
our final destination was Underwater world. my feedback would be just okay.We paid half of the price coz we're students and Malaysians. Personally, it's not worth the money I paid. but thinking of the experience, why not?
the lazy bumps.
anddddd, me. haha. i bought this rubbish. sorry, i couldn't tahan my nafsu, so i bought for RM 9. haish. the picture was printed and pasted in the middle of that carved plastic plate which might cost them only less than 2 ringgit.
the end. my journey to Pulau Langkawi. Pearl of Kedah.
till then, assalamualaikum.
p/s: lots of errors. sorry, i typed in a dark room. forgive me, i'm only human. not a linguistic PHD student. ade kaitan?
