Vacation To Langkawi Day 1

On 20/09/2008, that is the first day of my vacation to Langkawi, The Duty Free Island. That day will be my first time to go vacation with flight, that wonderful!! Afternoon about 2.30, we depart from PJ to KL sentral. Thanks to whtan sis that fetch us there so that we dont have to take taxi to Kelana Jaya then take LRT to KL Sentral. That is time wasting, and money wasting too. When we reach there, we are the first who reach there and we have to wait for them. About 15 minutes later, kx and ah yi reached and we spend another 10 minutes to wait for chlee. After that we move to bus terminal to take bus to LCCT. During the time we redeem the bus ticket, whtan realise that he miss out the most important paper that needed to redeem the bus ticket, and so he need to move himself to the AirAsia counter to redeem the verification paper i think, and thanks to the good service of AirAsia and they got the verification paper within 10 min and we are able to redeem the bus ticket in tima and take the 4pm bus to LCCT.

Along the way to LCCT, we all had been chit chatting and time past faster than we expect. We reach there after an hour and we move to check in department to check in ourself. After that we move to waiting room to wait for our flight departure time, which is 6.45pm. I think we went in there an hour earlier, and we have to spend about an hour inside there just looking around, watch tv, chit chatting around and of course took some pic. Im actually looking forward to wait 6.45pm because im looking forward to go into the plane and have my very first flight. After the Gate 1 of the departure hall is open, everyone who take the flight to Langkawi Island is queue up to verify ourself with the check in ticket with the stewardess. Then we are moving to the plane with the code AK6300 which just about 100m away from us. The AirAsia aeroplane (AK6300) which fly us to Langkawi

When in the plane, i had chosen the seat which is just right beside the window as there can see the view once the plane had fly higher and higher. And that is really good experience to feel ourself at dunno how many meters above sea level, and with the wonderful scenes that we are able to see at sky high. Guess what, from KL Sentral to LCCT need 1 hour, but with plane, we can reach Langkawi from LCCT just within 1 hour, the Captain tell through speaker that we will reach our destination 17min earlier than expect, which mean we just need 43minutes to to reach Langkawi. Just imagine if u drive from PJ to Perlis, and then take ferry from perlis to Langkawi. That need more than 7 hours. What for to waste the time driving far yet tiring. Pay the RM150 to buy the 2 way air ticket(per person), then u just need about 3 hours to reach the destination, and the journey is not tiring at all, all we need is just to take bus, then check in, and wait the plane to fly us to our destination, how easy that is.

About 7.50pm, we reached Langkawi International Airport and first thing we need to settle is the transport that gonna bring us all around Langkawi. So we procced to the counter just right inside the Airport to ask some information. After all we had selected Toyato Innova, which just cost RM270 for 3 nights, i think this is the cheapest all among the counter. And what impressed us is the Toyota Innova that we rent just look like a new car, and totally comfortable even if sit at the rear seat, the RM270 to rent the Toyota Innova is just worth it. We met chlee's fren which is from Langkawi, her name is Shy Hong@Sharon and her fren, Pei Zi. After we get our rented car, the first thing to do is to fill up the oil tank because the tank is empty. After fill up, then we need to go to Kuah Town to fill up our stomach because everyone is hungry enough. That day i sumore just have my breakfast(a cup of milo and 3 piece of crackers) and no lunch at all. When we reached at the restaurant is already 8 something. Pei Zi bring us to a Malay restaurant to have western food, and i ordered a black paper chicken chop. It look quite nice, but the taste is just above average. After we finished our dinner, we pay the bill and go to Shy Hong house to put our luggage at her house.

This is my first day dinner at Langkawi Island. Look quite nice, right?

After that we went to Kuah Town by ourself while she and her fren go to attend her fren's birthday party. We stop at Pekan Kuah to buy some stuff while survay the items prices. When we are on the way to Eagle Square, we found a Billion Shopping Centre there, which is the place we first plan to stop to buy our stuff, but we do still have a short walk inside billion just to look around, and yes, it is just a simple shopping mall, and the only special is that the billion got a duty free area, which all the alcohols, liqour and choc is placed there. After the short walk inside billion, then we go to Eagle Square, as there is also a tourism spot. Quite a nice view at the eagle, but because i had forgot to bring the camera along, that why no picture is taken at eagle square. But when we stop at the eagle square, we found that there is so comfortable because the wind is non stop blowing at us and im just so long time did not have such comfortable wind at the seaside. When we are discussing our next destination, Shy Hong said that her fren's party already done and ask us to fetch her, which is just not far away from her house. After fetch her, he suggestion is our decision, which is go to Pantai Cenang, the beach which filled with resorts and hotels. About 20min ride to Pantai Cenang, we finally reach there and walk to the beach. The beach is just so wide and long. I never see such a wide and long beach and if compare to Teluk Batik and any beaches at Pangkor, Pantai Cenang is still the better 1. We spent some time walking at the beach, but what a waste that the sky is not filled with star, not even 1. The sky is so blur and we are not able to see the moon clearly already, then there is no possibility to have the star appear at the blur sky.

About 1 something, we go back to Shy Hong house and rest because after a half day travel. When we are on the way going back to Shy Hong house, we experience something which is very special. We met 2 police block in a very short distance. When we stop at the first police block, the police do ask simply question and have a short look inside the car then let us go already, it is good. When we reached the bridge, there is another police block, and there was a police there(white shirt, look serious, according to Shy Hong he is a very high rank police), he stop us, giving sign to chlee to show his license, after he look at the license, then he ask izzit we went there for vacation? We answer yes. Then he ask when we arrive? We say today. Then again he ask, Where do we stay? We say stay at friend house. Then he ask where is the place? We answer Taman ???(forgot jor). Then he ask where is our fren? Then we point at Shy Hong and the police light up his torch light and point at Shy Hong. Once the police saw Shy Hong face then he immediately let us go. The police so geng, how could he juz can recognize who is Langkawi ppl and who is not. It is just like there is a bar code printed in Shy Hong face and police can just recognize it easily, so rediculous. Once reached home, everyone is tired. After brush teeth and wash face, we then planning the next day schedule, which take us about 20min to plan it and make decision about where to go. After everything settle, everyone move to the bed and fall asleep within a minute.This is Shy Hong@Sharon, our tour guide which not very familiar with Langkawi, LOL!!!!
