Episode 34: Langkawi (revisit)

This time with my sister's family and it's long overdue, for long my sister dreams of vacationing in Langkawi. The journey begin at 10pm at night by bus.yes people i do travel by bus and it took us 14 hours to reach Kuala Perlis. The bus company "STARMART" give me horror experience riding a bus. Hampeh

1st> the driver almost stop at every R& R (adoii bila nak smapai nie)
2nd> at alor star we were ask to change bus and to add to the misery i left my luggage in the bus. OMG all my things in that bag. Well, nothing going to spoil my vacation. (Thank Allah i got back my luggage with everything inside. collect when i back in jb. AMIN)

Slow but steady ferry ride to the island, the calm see did not calm my wandering thought of whereabout my luggage. The hot and stuffy ferry make me sweat. lesson no 1, choose to sit back of the ferry where the air cord are, if you sit in front row like me, the cold air did not reach you. an Hour ride and we arrived the mystical and Legendary Langkawi island. what a hot hot whether here in this island only starbuck frappacino can cools me down.

The only way for you to enjoy Langkawi is by driving. There a lot of company or person offers you a rental car, i said choose wisely. truthfully i did not know the going rate for car rental but i would said if it reasonable why not.  Luck for me that i have a customer who happen to have a car here in the island, so one car free (thank you En Azmi).Coz we are in a big group of 10, so we need one more car, Lan the car renter (hahaha bole lah, sesuka aje) give me a very good deal for 4 days rent Avanza RM350. ok kot. Seaview Apartment our micasa for this 4 days, ok nice place, cheap and great if you come here with family of 10 like me. Rested. Ahhhh heaven when your balcony have a veiw to die for. the sea breeze put me to a nap. snore....

The evening, pekan Kuah become our amazing race,franticly looking for short,shirt of wherever , where's all the designer shop...where??? owhh i forgot i m not in kansas, ohh well i wear what the local wear (not sarong lah, i know janet will love to see me in sarong running around Kuah town) End 1st hectic with dinner in a local warong and eats local delicacies, tom yam (ehhh bukan ke tu thailand food), lantaklah dah lapar. My sister plan of buying the 'pingganmangkuk" which is told very cheap here. Speaking of 'pinggan mangkuk' nak side track sikit..... 

Episode meroyan 1:

 when i told that i vacation to langkawi and told that my sister nak beli pinggangmagkuk, well a friend of mine told me that i should buy also( perli i lah tu). sbb i know the i have a few plate that rundown but i still use it (personal use) and if i got family and friend come for dinner or i invited them for dinner i use my corelle or vission or Le Creuset (hebat sgt kann mesti x tau le creuset apa). kalau kwn2 yg dah biasa dtg(rakyat jelata) and i know that he/she did not mind to use the rundown plate, so i did not bother to change to a expensive plate. that remark make me piss off coz it come from a so call bff. this is why i seldom invited people to my house. i like certain way to decorate my house, of which  some of you did not agree.did i care??? HELL NO. When i go the people house i understand how much work, money and creativity for you to decorate your house. i respect that coz your house is your sanctuary, your escape to real life.  Yes i did not sweep my house so often (2 minggu sekali)  ada habuk sana sini. yes i know that. i bukan pengotor (i know that my house is clean)  this is my house and if people come i will portray a good imej and kalu bedah or senah or mak jemah yg dtg, of which i know they just nak tumpang tido or mandi or just lepak2 , this is me and my house, mereka faham.(hope so). anyway thank you for that remark, i will take in to consideration. or NOT

ok that is my episode of meroyan. i need to get this out of my system. Back to Langkawi, 2nd day visit all the tourist hotspot. like i wrote before, Langkawi is the place for you and you family to came for a weekend holiday or school holiday. i would suggest to rent a car and drive thru the vast and green landscape. A few place to shop like Haji Ismail Group or Idaman suri and other's too. the price more or less the same.

2nd night we had dinner in Restoran Nelayan, the food are great, fresh and not that expensive, cuma lambat skit makanan sampan. 


waterfalls, beaches, small islands surrounding langkawi, mangrove forest, caves and green landscape what make Langkawi famous. Go and visit Langkawi Island if you got the time. i highly suggest you fly instead of come my bus or ferry.

Langkawi is tourist destination, known world wide. my observation is the ferry services need to improve. Ferry not arrive in time, delay and i would suggest the arriving and departure gate on the separate door. please do let all the people off the ferry than only let people on it. chaos i tell you. i also would like a porter services to carry all the luggage or boxes in the ferry.

Episode meroyan part 2:

Bus service Shamisha express or shamisha holiday gives us very worst service, i not recommend to use their services. EVER
