LANGKAWI
set off on 22/11, sunday
i got the window seat on the plane. & i refused to give it up to my bro=P anw the flight was pretty short, about an hour i guess. then we walked to the hotel. first time we didnt need to get directions 'cause the hotel was just beside the airport. when we entered, we couldn't even find the lobby. and it looked pretty rundown. first impression was horrible cos the staff at the counter were total slowpokes in their work and the files and documents looked pretty tattered, plus the lobby was NOT air-conditioned... then after a long wait cos we had booked 6 rooms, we went up to our rooms, just that we couldnt find em. hahah. the hotel was too BIG. i had to run all the way to the other end to look for my grandparents' room cos i couldnt possibly make them walk in the wrong direction. so i finally found the room, and it was way COOL. 2 queen-sized beds with a lot more floor space=D my sis and i (okay maybe more of me) had so much fun rolling and jumping on our own beds. and there were like 4 mirrors in total in each room!! one near the door, one at the other end of the room for the dressing table, 2 in the toilet - 1 for the vanity top and 1 HUGE one next to the bathtub. needless to say, i made good use of all four=))
i regret not taking pictures of the hotel rooms... after dinner we went to this minimart where i decided to buy a bottle of alcohol to taste. i told my uncle that he'll drink it and i'll only take a sip. and oh it tasted horrible. like medicine. EEWW.

23/11, monday
we had breakfast at the hotel's cafe, where iced milo cost more than milkshakes. like ?!?! then we went on a boat ride to view bat caves, eagle bay and a fish farm. the bat caves were scary and my 5-yr-old cousin cried like mad. im so thankful i didnt see any bats. LOL. we didnt really get to see the eagles up close cos for some reason, our boat captain didnt feed the eagles like what the other boats' were. and the fish farm was pretty cool too. then we went to this bird park, which curiously had many other non-bird animals residing there. there was a shop there where my mum bought my sis and i (and herself) crystal rings=D the we went to this thai restaurant to eat. the food there rocks!! we all loved the american fried rice. kinda ironic, huh? after lunch, which was like 3 plus, we stopped by a local produce shop and a fruit farm before going to the cable cars. It was fun=) i think the last time i sat a cable car was in genting at least 8 yrs ago.. we got to the top, which was 710m above sea level. my bros were scared stiff. and none of us brought jackets. after taking some pictures, we went down. and my brothers were jumping around in the cable car, to the horror of my mum. hahah. somehow they feel safe hanging in the air compared to on steady planks of wood. but i felt the same too. and i was singing 'love story' on the way down to entertain my mum. dinner was at this restaurant by the beach. my sis and i went to take pictures. ahh those pictures. majority of mine were super unglam. maybe it's cos i was wearing specs? anw dinner wasnt very tasty; maybe the thai food was too nice and consumed too late in the day. even the lobster and tiger prawns werent very satisfying...

24/11, tuesday
my favourite day. my cousins and i went go-karting with my uncles and aunt. it was my first time, so im not ashamed to say that i was the slowest=/ apart from my cousin and brother who've been go-karting quite a few times before, my sis, uncles and aunty all have driving experience. tha fact that i skidded on a sharp bend didnt help my speed at all. but the adrenaline rush was great XD meanwhile, my parents, grandparents and my other 2 aunties went to the black sand beach. there were 15 of us on this trip.. hahah. then we went to the same thai restaurant again to eat=) after which we went shopping. like, finally!! but the shopping centre wsa kinda small... then most of them went to watch 2012 cos its a whole lot cheaper there in m'sia. so my aunt, my little cousin, my grandma and i continued shopping. i didnt feel like watching a movie. to my dismay, my aunt was only concerned about her shopping and my grandma was like just standing outside the shop for super long waiting for her. i felt really bad for my grandma so i asked her to come along to help me look for a pair of sandals. mine had soles that were fully worn-out. i so wished my mum was around to talk to my grandma. im sure she must have been bored. and i didnt know what to talk about at all... after like 2 hrs, we walked to a western restaurant quite far away. and the movie took more than 2 hrs, we had to wait for them for abt an hr at the restaurant. i didnt mind waiting cos i was reading a mag. but the fact that my grandma had to wait around with nothing to do made me quite upset. but it made me realise i need to spend more time with her. and my granddad too. back to dinner, the steak i ordered was awfully tough. with my newly put-on braces, i was having quite a hard time. hahah. but overall i was quite happy cos of the shopping=)

25/11, wednesday
my sis and i woke up real late. we were too tired from the day before. anw for this last day, we had a whole morning of activities planned out since our flight home was in the afternoon. we took a boat ride to a whole lot more places. we went to this island and played at the beach for quite a while. all the beaches at langkawi have nice clear waters. unlike sg where all the waters are so murky.. then at the jetty point we fed fishes with prawn crackers... there were swarms of them. it was fun watching them fight for the food. my mum was scolding us saying that we were poisoning the fish. hahah. the boat went to many places and there was this paticular island that looked like a pregnant woman. cool, huh? and this time round the boat captain fed the eagles. it was a different eagle bay with at least 15 eagles. the captain fed them chicken skins and it really was quite a sight seeing them swoop down one by one to grab the skins. after the boat ride we returned to the hotel to check out, then we had lunch at kenny rogers at the airport. the service was HORRIBLE. the waitress who took orders for my table actually didnt take them at all. she looked like she was scribbling down our orders, but in actual fact she wasnt. when all my relatives had finished thir food and most pple had left the restaurant (including those who came after us), my mum went to question the waitress and all she did was push the blame to another guy. i was so irritated. and my sister's order for chessy chicken came without any chicken in it. but whatever. quite unfortunate though, that the holiday had to end on such an unhappy note.

on the whole, it was quite an eye-opener cos i didnt get to do many things before going to langkawi. take the go-karting, for instance=) my mum was talking about going back again, but i told her i'd rather spend money going to someplace else that i've never been to. like taiwan or japan!! which im definitely going to do after As. 間違いなく
