Day 2 *25.05.10*
6.00 am Arises early to catch the Ferry to Langkawi at 8.15 am, RM 115 two ways, and it took 3 hours.

On the way to Pulau Langkawi, we almost embarked in the wrong Pulau, Pulau Paya *phew*
11.00 am Upon Arrival, we grabbed the bread from Bread Story due to extreme hunger attack. Then we rented a Wira Car for Rm 100, for 24 hours and move on to our hotel, "Bay View Hotel". We even purchase two entrance ticket, for the the Underwater World and Cable Car for RM 26 and RM 14.
I love the room so much, it was huge and can view the picturesque scenery from the window with the rate of RM 175 per night for two single bed.

12.00 pm The Car Rental Guy so smart, left us with 0.10% petrol.. So we have to hunt for Petrol Station before Journey begins.

1# Padang Masirat
We sort of lost direction and couldn't find this isolated place. But on the way, we saw Moo Moo Cow and Ayam Jantan aka Cock .
SiaoHan even took the photo of the fat Juicy Galloping Cow, who was able to jump over the fence. All of us showed the expression of wow, a fat cow can jump!

We know we are jakun *giggling*.
After a few turn of missed turning, finally we reached Padang Masirat to hunt for Batik and Pario but with disappointment and empty hand.
2# Underwater World: Entrance fee was only RM 26 per person
We were excited when we saw first light peach pario hang up in front of a shop, and the excitement getting intense when we saw the other pario and there goes another pario. Finally all of us got ourselves one pario each with different colours, for RM 15 each . They were reserved for our upcoming redang trip =D
We also visited the Underwater world, saw the penguin, fishes, birds and etc etc.





* Could you see the face??? It looks like human...with grumpy face *



*Parrot*


We saw flamingo, we posed like flamingo.

We saw Igloo, we posed like Penguin.



They marked me as PINK SQUID so i have to posed with the not cutie squid... ='(

*Siao Han is an ostrich egg* but she is posing with penguin egg, how irony it is...



*Goose*




*Shrimp*



*Sting Ray*



* These turtles are having coitus, as their private area were contracting*
noticed by Casey Lim >.<


*Eels*




*Beaver*


*Seahorse*


3# Black Sand Beach
From the name, we know the sand is black and its true. The few sampans aka boats abandoned there were really fabulous gadget for photo shooting.















4# Cable Car: Entrance fee was only RM 14 per person Original price is RM 30 !!! Screw them the price was so much different.



Next stop was cable car, and they looked kind of scary due the vibrations caused by the cables but we were still here. We managed to climb up to 705 m above the sea level. Here we had our first scream, WE ARE GOING TO UK !!!!!!!!!!!! The two Caucasians saw us thought we had gone crazy. Lolx.
*1st secret revealed Discovered our SS princess was having heightphobismn but this doesn't stop her to pose as randomly as she could*
5# Wonderland Seafood (Dinner) recommended by the local resident. But personally i felt the food is just so so...


1# Chicken


2# Vegetables; Fried "Yau Mak"


3# Fried Squid


4# Grilled Fish


The car renter car told us this Restaurant was the favourite seafood spot for the local. The food was just merely okay with reasonable price.
6# Langkawi Parade Shopping Mall
There goes our main AIM of the trip, the duty free liquor and chocolates. They were seriously cheap. We bought a bottle of Ice Wine which worth RM 200 for only RM 54, and half dozen of Heneiken can in RM 13.50 only. I got myself some Chocolates filled with Whiskey and Belgium Seashells. I wanted to get Chocolates filled with Irish Cream but under financially constrained. The day ended with wine and beers.



*2nd secret revealed, Casey is the snapsnap "slowie bowie Queenie", her reflex was the slowest among all when we were playing the poker cards.. tsk tsk *
Joke of the day: Lim Shi Hao, the bartender can't even open the bottle of Ice Wine when he intended to serve us. He had to use a penknife and keep struggling for like 5 minutes until i came over and open with a simple twist less than 5 seconds. I'm proud to be stronger than you ... XD
Day 3 *26.05.10*
* 3rd Secret, there was trumpeting music for whole night, if you get what i mean .... *
9.30 am Chiayin and Novell went for the two free buffet breakfast. They were awesome.
10.30 am Headed to Mahsuri Tomb
Enlightened with the local story about this girl, Mahsuri gifted with courtesy and beauty. She was very famous among the local in Langkawi. She could only be killed by her own, heritage keris (knife). She was accused for having affair and murdered due to jealousy. Her blood was white instead of red which can even disappear in the air, proving she was innocent.
The traditional wooden houses here, were another magnificent spot for photo shooting.








Joke of the day: We attempted to suicide in this well.




12.00 pm Lastly we can't miss out the Eagle Eye, landmark of Langkawi.


We saw eagle we posed like eagle.



1.00 pm Had our lunch in Kenny Rodger and off we board the ferry and back to Penang.
Joke of the day: A china guy was attracted to LIM SHI HAO. He intentionally walked to the front for 3 times and stared at him from head to toe, attempted to sit in front of him and also sit behind him. Us girls, concluded that the attraction point was Shi Hao's leg; skinny, sexy and attractive... * ewww *
5.15 pm Batu Ferringi
We headed to Batu Ferringi and managed to catch the sunset scenery. It was magnificent especially when you were with your friends. Wanted to ride on the parachute but it was too dear. * The beach was kind of polluted though. *
