Selamat datang ke Langkawi Part II

So were you all waiting with abated breath to see part II of my Langkawi photos? Well ........ a girl can dream, right? :p

Since we'd already missed breakfast hours in the resort, we headed out to get prawn noodles for brunch

We wasted no time in getting to the beach


Our 3 man decided to jet-ski while the rest of us sat it out
♥
Meg was theoretically playing with sand but in truth she was playing with Shereen's feet


My arm looked so skinny in this photo! Wahahaha ......
An adorable Thai girl who gamely posed for my camera
Getting ready for our banana boat ride! Meg's terrified of water.


My 1st time & it was fun, fun, fun! We even went for a 2nd ride after that without Meg so that we can get dunked into the sea.
Elise getting ready for para-sailing



And then someone got stuck in the tree! Poor fella, he must have been up there for at least 20mins before they finally got him down.


Joanne's turn
Next up - my little warrior!
Meg was so brave! Can you imagine I chickened out at the last min?! *sheepish* But seeing that man stuck on the tree, I believed I was right in my choice! Knowing myself, I could have easily became the next poor sod.
She sure outdid me!


Coming down!


Amrish is game for everything!
After all the activities, we headed back to our quiet part of the beach. Cheryl & the ladies took Meg off my hands so that I was allowed some peaceful time all to myself.
This is life indeed - reading a book, lying on the beach & listening to the sound of the crashing waves. Thinking of changing my blog title to A Summer Affair. What do you guys think?


Muahahaha ..... my ugly toes!!!




Just before we were due to go back
A big thank you to Ben for finding us this little gem of a resort. Just a word of caution though, do NOT take the honeymoon suite! We took that & other than the bathroom is bigger than other rooms, every other aspect of it sucked. We much preferred the rest of the normal rooms!

Closer to the edge

I dreamt of a knight on his white horse
I dreamt of a fairytale ending

In conversation

Just to give you an idea how does conversation in a normal afternoon with Meg would go.

Me: It's Mid Autumn Festival. How do you think we should celebrate?
Meg: BBQ?
Me: Yah but I think the stupid neighbour upstairs will complain.
Meg *straight-faced*: Let's get a gun.

Meg *drawing*: Does this look like a 'L'?
Me: No.
Meg *adding more to drawing*: Now?
Me: No.
Meg *adds more*: Now?
Me: No.
Meg: Ok I think you're just not creative or artistic enough to see it.

Eating in Niwa Sushi.
Me: Their chawanmushi actually tastes quite good.
Meg: I love it when Sakae Sushi delivers.
Me: What? You meant the chawanmushi?
Meg: We're on the topic of chawanmushi, aren't we?

▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼

Starts pouring.
Me: Let's run!
Meg: But mum, you don't know how to run. THIS is running! *sped off*

▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼

Meg *sees me blogging*: What are you gossiping about this time?


Me: *ROLLS EYES TTM!!!*

Selamat datang ke Langkawi Part I

We had a short getaway to Langkawi over the long Hari Raya weekends. But I don't think I can elaborate much more cos I'm kinda zombiefied from sorting out the pics for this post. All in all, I had a terrific time with terrific photos to show for it too.


Meg's awfully excited about the trip!
Arrived on Air Asia



Poor Daryl was stuck in the back with all the luggages
Meg having a go with the Nex5
Our 1st stop was lunch at the Oriental Village
Everywhere was closed as it was Hari Raya. The sole remaining eatery that's opened served only curries & burgers.
I think it's a good thing that the iphone was invented cos it gave me a legitimate reason to camwhore while everyone played with their phones


Next is off to the cable car ride
Most awesome view!


Mad ♥ this shot
Amrish & Ben
I spotted a colourful bug which suddenly became everybody's photography obsession




Meg loves taking pics of my side profile


Totally exhausted by the climb & the walk
I nearly died climbing these stairs but now looking at the photos, it was all worth it =)
Hurried to the seaside to catch the sunset


I only have 3 words to describe it's beauty - O.M.G.


The next few photos were all taken by Meg. I think she's got quite a flair for it!
♥♥♥ this pic taken by Elise
So engrossed with taking photos that I didn't even realise Elise took a snapshot of me
I think this is my personal favourite
While I busied with my cam, the rest were busy uncovering the creatures hiding in the seabed during low tide.
Got Joanne & Ray to pose for me
Belinda, Elise & Cheryl savouring the moment
Unforgettable memories
Daryl creating his masterpiece
When I turned back for a parting shot just before we left, the sky had turned into a gorgeous kaleidoscope of colours


Last stop was dinner - check out Meg's empty plate & you'll have an idea of how tasty the food was.
