Langkawi 2007

Finally, we've completed our first semester unscathed (except Marketing). We celebrated by going for bowling, shopping, hours of non-stop FIFA, Futsal, and Fish's birthday. Futsal was free of charge at Subang Lake, but we got whacked by a group of foreigners although we outnumbered them 5 to 3.

And for the climax of our celebrations, after weeks of tedious planning, preparations, withdrawals and postponements, we finally made it to Langkawi!

I only have limited amount of photos, so this will do for the time being.

We arrived at Hentian Duta at 10pm, before boarding our executive double-decker Transnasional coach at 11pm. Unfortunately, no one brought their laptops, as planned, which is why the photos are so hard to distribute.

The ride was smooth, and we had a 30 minute stop somewhere in Perak. We arrived at Kuala Perlis at around 6am, and as soon as we alighted the bus, an agent approached us. We were reluctant to trust him, as any problems would have to be rectified on the mainland, but after our long negotiations, we decided to use him, as he could guarantee refunds on the island, plus, it was more convenient. We booked 3 Wiras instead of the Innova we planned, cuz it was way cheaper.

Our ferry was at 8, so we had breakfast at a mamak nearby while waiting


Somehow, we were lucky enough to get a huge ferry, with an exterior different from the others

Photo of the Year
Truly, a photo does speak a thousand words

I'm starting to think we're taking more photos off Langkawi
than on it

At the hotel lobby

Say "Whisky!"

We went on the cable car ride, and to be honest, I admit I'm afraid of heights

But so is KG

They tried to persuade me to overcome my fears at 650m above sea level

Sunset at the beach

They tried to buried me, but they couldn't hide the obvious. Heehee

The beach was magnificent

We drank a lot of alcohol on the beach that night, and perhaps in hindsight, it wasn't the wisest thing for me to do, but I got drunk, and henceforth came the phrase

"I'm drunk but I'm not stupid"

I couldn't really remember much, but I ended up sleeping at the lobby, and waking up with a terrible hangover. What's worse, I discovered I'm allergic to large amounts of alcohol. My whole body was covered with red rashes, and my feet and palms were....FAT!

We went for the Island hopping tour the next day, which I think was the highlight of our trip. We had a whole boat chartered for the 14 of us. Our first stop was at the Pulau Dayang Bunting, where we canoed at the lake.

In the pond are catfishes which "cleans" our feet

On the Banana boat.

Despite the allergy, I was able to enjoy myself during the Island hopping tour, but it was apparent that I needed a break

At the waterfalls. Me clearly showing signs of fatigue

By the time we got back to the hotel at 5, the effects of the allergy combined with the exhausting activity clearly took its toll. I slept for 12 hours, and missed the evening's activity at the pool, dinner and the next drinking session. I came down with high fever, and many thanks to Aaron and Yixuan who took care of me that night.

On the ferry

The ride home was terrible to say the least. The fucking bus broke down near Taiping. And so we were stranded for 3 hours plus on the North-South highway.

We still had time for blackjack

Not everyone got down from the bus though, and some asshole idiot stole my DJ Lemon Mix while we were waiting outside the bus! To that fucker, I'll make sure your life will never be in peace. Hahahahaha. But I still feel bad, and I know Jolene had been looking forward to it so much.

In conclusion, the trip was extremely fun, and I had many firsts on that island.
