WARNING!!! It is non-food entry. Langkawi Trip 21 Nov - 24 Nov.
It has been a loooooooooong time since I updated this page. So many things happened to my life. I've been very busy lately... started with hubby accepted new job offer and potential for him to be relocated, 2007 Hari Raya, taking care of the kids by myself since hubby is always on the move, kids' exams, and the recent Langkawi holiday trip without the company of my hubby. His fully paid air ticket has to be forfeited since it was bought on promotional price. Good business strategy by Air Asia
Here is the story of our long planned Langkawi trip.
We left home early in the morning with MPV cab chartered from Sunlight taxi. Taxi fare is RM90. Journey to LCCT from Shah Alam took merely 1 hr where I could have reached LCCT by 1/2hr if I were to drive there myself We had our breakfast at LCCT's Mc Donald's and proceeded to check-in counter after we were done with our breakfast.
Arrived very early at the designated gate. Malaysian are kiasu too when it comes to get the best seat available on the airplane. We boarded the airplane and succeessfully secured good seats after queuing as the 2nd family in the line. ha ha ha...
I would say that Air Asia's Airbus A320 is more comfortable than the previous Boeing 737 aircraft. Seats are more spacious and more room for legs. It's incomparable to MH's flight but, considering a low cost flight, to my standard it worth the money. Kids were complaining on no in-flight entertainment system. What do you expect on an hour air plane ride compared to long haul journey,
Landed safely at Langkawi International airport as per scheduled arrival time. I proceeded to the car rental counter as soon as I entered the terminal building. I went counter hopping for best bargain car rental package. Successfully secured a deal for the latest model Nissan Sentra for RM75/day. Good bargain, huh. And I'm very proud of myself. hahahaha
We headed to Kuah town for lunch and sight seeing followed by window shopping. There we had our first meal of Pak Hj Ya Nasi Ayam. The kids enjoyed the Nasi Ayam very much.
Arrived at the hotel and checked in at around 3pm. It was the beginning of swimming pool and beach treat for the kids for the rest of the 4 day stay.
Did not do much on the 2nd day. Swimming pool and beach activities. Lunch at Kuah town at Pak Hj Ya Nasi Ayam AGAIN !
The 3rd day started with roti canai breakfast at Harbour Park followed by light shopping trip at the Zon Duty Free out of Under Water World. Visited Langkawi Underwater World. Entrance fee is RM28 for adult and RM18 for children. Expensive for me considering that the underwater tunnel was closed for renovation and the 3D theater was viewed with 2D. I felt that the fee shall be lowered due to these incoveniences. Kids did enjoyed themselves but did compared the joy that they had when we visited Sea World in San Antonio. NO Shamu, NO Dolphin feeding at Langkawi. Of course !! Macam langit dengan bumi.
The rest of the 3rd day was spent at swimming pool and beach again......
The 4th day was our last day in Langkawi. We had breakfast the hotel followed by swimming pool and beach experience again. Checked-out at 12:15pm from the hotel. We planned to visit Telaga Tujuh as it was located very near to the hotel. Parked the car at the parking lot and paid RM2 for the parking fee. Approached the shop assistant at one of the stalls and we were informed that it would take ~25 minute walk to reach the "well" and none of us were prepared for such trip. We went back to the car and headed down to Kuah town for another adventure. There goes my RM2 parking fee. uwaaahhhh
Stopped by at gamat factory named warisan Salju Enterprise. We were taken to the place where the gamat ointment was cooked and explained by the 'owner' on the processing. It was a short educational trip for the kids We then headed to Kuah town for lunch and guess what. Nothing else than Pak Hj Ya Nasi Ayam. This was our 3rd and last lunch meal at the same restaurant for the trip. Pak Hj Ya sure be happy if he would have known this. ha ha ha
Spent time for some duty free chocolate shopping and key chains shopping for my collegues before heading to airport to catch the flight home.
Safely landed at LCCT on the ETA. Stopped by to watch airplanes landing at the airport runaway for about 1/2 hour before heading back to Shah Alam....
It was a wonderful trip altogether but we really miss the presence of my husband. The kids wanted to go back again but, with the father. Insya Allah.....

Nim: Itulah pasal. Aku pun x faham apsal tak habis2 buat renovation. Rasa mcm frust gak sebab bayar mahal2, tapi tak ada apa benda yang di tengok sangat. Aku pun tak rasa Langkawi ni syorga untuk makan dan shopping kecuali shopping cekelat. Tapi, pantai kat tempat yg aku tinggal tu OK gak. Secluded. Tak ada ramai orang. Pantai tempat lain aku tak tahu lah pulak macamana sebab tak penah tinggal kat tempat lain lagi.
