New Year in Langkawi!
Sorry for the late update..Hehe I know it has been a long time since the trip was over but I didn't had the time to update my blog. So here it goes!

Met up with the rest of the gang (Yong Mei, Yi Wen, Sarah, Li Xing, Zahir, Eugene, Jeffrey and Joey) at the Subang Jaya KTM station before we depart to Kota Raya bus station. Stopped by at McD while waiting for the bus. Some had their dinner while others played cards. We left the station almost around 11.30pm and the bus was quite empty. It was a midnight bus. Due to the new year celebration, the KL roads were all jammed up. Hence we managed to watch fireworks in the heart of KL from the bus. Couldn't really sleep as it was quite cold. The journey was roughly around 6 hours.
We reached the jetty around 7am in the morning and went for breakfast nearby before the 8am boat arrived. Slept most of the time in the boat cause was really tired the day before. Once we got off the boat, we went to retrieved our cars and waited for Fang to arrive. He flew in as his mum wouldn't allow him to take midnight buses..hehe=) Since the owner said that there can't be 6 ppl in 1 car, we decided to get another car. This one instead auto. The manual cars were really old as the speedometer wasn't working, no radio and the car boot was also spoiled. Headed off to Kuah town for 'brunch' and then to the famous Langkawi Cable Car. To our unpleasant surprise, they were having their maintenance and it was on the NEW YEAR DAY itself...Argh..drove all the way there but didn't manage to go up!! But we still had fun around the Oriental Village=) Right, Fangky mou??haha =D

Joey, Fang, Eugene, Zahir, Me and Yi Wen

Yi Wen + Jeff

We headed to our hotel (ASEANIA HOTEL) around 2pm. The hotel was awesome but the services were really terrible!!! Yong Mei had booked the hotel in November and the person that she talked to said that if we booked earlier, they could try getting connecting rooms for us. Much to our dismay, our rooms were not connected at all and she only booked them for us a few days ago..So they decided to give some discount to our room since she did not get connecting rooms for us. And they will move us to the connecting room the next day at 3pm. Fine then!! Went to the swimming pool while waiting for Vien Na to arrive.

Sarah + Yong Mei

Polo Game

Front flip!!

After taking our shower, we headed for a Chinese Restaurant which Joey introduced us to. There were many people there as Chinese tourists goes there as well. The food was great and delicious! Walked around Pantai Cenang after dinner. The sands were smooth and cooling..Felt so nice when you touched it with your bare legs. Around 10pm ++, the guys started to look for booz aka liquor. Most of the liquor shops have already closed since it was getting late already. Asked around whether are there any liquor shops that might still be open, and they recommended one to us near the Chinese Restaurant where our dinner was. It was also closed when we got there as they close their shop at 10.30pm and it was almost 11pm already. When we were about to leave, we saw someone opening up the shop and we quickly got out of the car and into the shop we go. We were lucky cause the owner was just about to leave and lock up the shop. At least we got our booz and they got their business. =D Played Indian Poker till 2am before heading off to bed.

The sandcastle that we built=) Took the whole night to do this!! Beautiful ain't it?

Nah, actually it was built by someone else=P Just bumped onto it while walking along the beach..

Jack Daniels + Coke
The next morning after breakfast, we headed for our island tour. The ride on the speedboat was awesome. Visited the Island of the Pregnant maiden first, and then to eagle watching and finally to an island where we could play by the beach. The monkeys at the Pregnant maiden island were really naughty. They would snatch your plastic bags and food/water from you. Saw some of them drinking water from the bottle while some stole Pringles.

Fish Spa

Those are catfish=) Know why are there so many of them??
Cause they threw food in to attract them!!

Digging a hole to bury Yit Wei in =D

No idea why are they pointing at Vien Na..

Once we got back from the tour, headed to our hotel to cleaned ourselves and changed room too. The process of getting the connecting room were really rubbish as they didn't want to give us the key saying its not clean yet (saying that they only have very few cleaners so no time) and hence you can't checked in yet.. Thus we called the room cleaner and they said it was already cleaned earlier on..WTH!!!So this time round, the guys went down to get our keys and they just gave it to us without much argument..Probably they dislike the girls as we have already complained since day 1..But it was totally their fault!!!=p so you can't blame us man...In the end, since the guys were upset of how they treated us, they went to look for the complaint department and wanted to see the manager. Since he/she wasn't in, the staff there gave us few pieces of paper and an envelope. So we wrote down everything that we were not satisfied of. Seriously man, such nice + beautiful hotel but poor service. Maybe the receptionist have not undergone training before!

After all those unhappy moments, we decided to head off to Underwater World. There were many nice animals and fishes there. Spent roughly an hour there before we drove to Kuah for dinner and shopping. Shopping is something one must not miss when they come to Langkawi as it is all duty free. Bought some chocolates for Jasmine and Martini for the family. Gosh, felt my bag was so heavy once I stuffed them into my bag. Didn't manage to get any chocolates for myself cause my bag was already full and heavy..Wish I could go there again to buy them though..haha=D Played another game this time round before we go to bed. Had to finish the JD + bottle as we did not want to bring them home. A few guys were already 'kong' out before the game even started as they were too tired..Played till 2am++ before going to bed. Since the guys slept on our bed earlier on, we decided to wake them up so that they could move back to their bed. Once they got up, they were not tired anymore and got all hyped up. Hence the war of shouting began between the 2 rooms. This is what happen when we have connecting rooms. Haha =D It was hilarious although we were making so much noise. Hope our neighbours wouldn't mind us as it was our last night together=p

We left Langkawi around 9am in the morning and reached back to KL at 7pm. Some of us went our own way while the rest headed to Parade for dinner at Nandos. Most of us were hungry since our lunch wasn't even a proper one. Altogether it was a great escapade with friends and celebrating New Year there!
