A quick getaway.

L A N G K A W I

As you all know, last weekend i went to Langkawi Island with my friends after a long 3 weeks exam period. It's really a beautiful island with all the potential to be on the same par as Phuket and Bali...just need some tweaking here and there. White sandy beach, hot scorching sun, clear blue sea, lushes paddy field, magnificent mountains and variety flora fauna completed Langkawi as a perfect holiday destination.

Day 1

We arrive in Langkawi around 4.30pm after 1hour 30min uncomfortable boat ride from Kuala Kedah. We go straight to Langkawi cable car by a van that we rented. Our driver for the day is Gamat...crazy little engineer from Segamat. The Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Kok beach, is the entrance for the cable-car ride, which takes visitors all the way up to Mount Mat Cincang, Langkawi’s second highest peak. Malaysian only pay RM15 while non-malaysian Rm30 which worth every penny. After the cable car started to ascend i can feel my heart racing(like before riding a roller coaster). Its crazily high and very steep. If wind blow, we can feel the cabin rawking gently with it. On the very top stations, we can enjoy 360 degree view of the legendary island. My favourite part of it is the skyline bridge...a bridge suspension between 2 mountains. We enjoy our first Langkawi's sunset at the very tip of Mat Cincang..indeed beautiful and breathtaking! After the cable car, we check in at Sri Kijang Resort at Chenang Beach. Its a 4/5 star resort under Bank Negara Malaysia. Thanks to Syaza's sisters for the opportunity to stay a night there.

At the skyline suspension bridge...fazrin is terrified!

The Skyline bridge! cool huh??!!


Enjoying sunset at the very top of Mount Mat Cincang.

Day 2

We spent the whole day in Payar Island. It is famous for its beautiful corals, sharks and scuba diving. It takes about one hour to reach it from Langkawi by big boat. We go there under Coral Island and pay about RM140 each. The sad thing is hundreds of people flocking to this island every day which definitely effecting its pristine conditions especially the corals. Actually the corals is a little bit disappointing but the fish is cute and abundant. We pay extra Rm25 to snorkel in the diver site which need to take a 5minute boat ride from the jetty. Its really a great site full with colourful live corals and creatures like puffer fish, eels, starfish, lobster, sea snakes etc.The highlight of the trip is the sharks feeding session. At around 1pm,black tip sharks started to roaming around the beach. The sharks is harmless and ranging in size from size of our both palm to as big as a small dining table.

At least 6 sharks in this picture...crazy but cool!

Shark feeding session..we are not allowed to get near or touch the sharks...it can bite!!

That evening we spent the rest of the day at Pantai Chenang. We ride the banana boat and it is fun(my 1st experience). Sunset there is superbly stunning. Along the Chenang street, numerous hotels, shops, restaurants, spas, the zone shopping complex and underwater world Langkawi. Chenang Beach is really lively and beautiful which live up to its status as the main beach in Langkawi.

Jumping in front of Chenang beautiful sunset.

Day 3

At the last day, we take a 4 hours island hopping boat ride to 3 places which is the Beras Basar Island, eagles feeding in Singa Island and Pulau Dayang Bunting. Beras Basah Island as a beautiful white sandy beach with crystal clear water. We take a dip for a while and buried fazrin to make mermaid sand sculpture. SEXY!haha! Next is the eagles feeding in Singa Island. We also see few eagles roaming around the mangroves, unluckily the boatman said that the eagles are full due to the morning feeding sessions. Langkawi gets its name from eagles(heLANG) and kawi rocks. Pulau Dayang Bunting is the last stop. Its famous for its fresh water lake which have its mystical tale...by swimming in it, can help those women who wanted to get pregnant. Around the platform, you can see alot of cat fish and you can have a free fish spa when you dip your leg into it. Eww!haha Beware of the monkeys cause they are fierce and will try to grab anything on your hands. After a refreshing swims in the lake, its time to head back to jetty and end our island hoping. After a quick change of cloth in the jetty, we walk to Dataran Lang to take a picture with the magnificent statue of a Eagles which symbolized Langkawi.

The pristine Bera Basah beach.

The sexy mermaid.....nope!

Going crazy in the Dayang Bunting Lake..hoping to increase our fertilily ability!hehe!

Fish spa..the catfish style! Geeeliiii!!

Noticed the pregnant maiden??

Legends of broken pots and seeping gravy.

Langkawi's most prominent mountains, Gunung Macinchang and Gunung Raya, and a whole series of towns and villages are said to named after a local legend. The story tells the tale of a wedding between two families of giants, with Mat Raya's son wanting to marry Mat Cincang's daughter. During the wedding feast, a fight broke out between the two wedding parties, reputedly because the son was caught flirting with another woman.

During the fight, pots and pans were thrown, and a large pot of gravy (kuah) was broken and the contents flowed onto the ground. The place where the gravy was spilled became known as Kuah (the largest town on Langkawi island) and where the crockery (belanga) was broken (pecah) was location of the village Kampung Belanga Pecah. The gravy seeped into (kisap) the earth at the village named Kisap.

“Screaming is bad for the voice, but it's good for the heart.”

I just wanna be HAPPY!

Exam is ALMOST over...one more paper to go..actually not a paper exam but a clinical exam..more action and talking rather than writhing. Gosh! pass few weeks is a living hell. my head is gonna explode due to excessive usage. my brain is melting each time i read medical books! lately I'm not sure if this is right for me?? is this give me happiness? will this give me satisfaction in my later life? is this the life i want to live in?? still not sure. This always surface every time exam or any stressful event related to Meds school. but i will face it, day by day and let time and fate take me where should i go. I just wanna be HAPPY!

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place ... I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I’m just trying to be happy

Yesterday, i watched Inglourious Basterds by Queintin Tarantino who brings us the marvelous Pulp Fictions and Kill Bill(which i hate!). Chilling out with the guys ( plus Anom..hehe) atGurney GSC after stressful O&G Clinical Exam. I got a case of false labour and i think i do exceptionally well to give me at least a pass. Back to the film, this is the second best work from Quentin after Pulp Fiction. Great story, Great actor and great script except for Brad pit's fake over the top accent! watching his jaw protruding forward the entire film is unpleasant to watch..at least for me. Nonetheless, it still a good and entertaining film. i almost don't wanted to watch this film due to the "Nazi brutality" theme. I'm just had enough of it. but because of the director and the cast..i brave my self to endure another war film. Go and watch it guys! by the way the film is really violent..don't bring young kids with you. PEACE!

JUST ONE BOY by aizat.


Just one fruit from 1 tree,
Just 1 rumble mumble from 1 beat
Can 1 send boy climbing climbing

Just 1 flock from 1 cloud
Just 1 itsy bitsy twist and shout
Can send that same 1 boy running running yeah

Aah..there's a four leaf clover sitting in the sun
It's been waiting for someone like you
But there's really really no one but you
Tell me you're the one

Could it be magic
It must be magic
Tell the truth, are you my only one?

Just 1 word from 1 girl
Just 1 lovey dovey we control

Oh..I don't care what you say
I thought to steal 1 kiss when you look away
And send this boy flying flying yeah
[Just One Boy lyrics found on http://mp3.PORTAL007.net/ ]

Aah..there's a four leaf clover sitting in the sun

Gonna kiss like you

Aah..there's a four leaf clover sitting in the sun
It's been waiting for someone like you
But there's really really no one but you
Tell me you're the one

Could it be magic
It must be magic
Tell the truth, are you my only one?
Tell the truth, are you my only one?
Tell the truth, cause I love you
