It was nothing like before. I didn’t revisit for any educational purposes, of course. Nothing related to school. You see, my relatives from Ipoh and Kluang wanted to spend two days in Langkawi this school holiday season. One of my cousin (1 year younger) had been staying in my house since the early holiday and last 6th of June his mom, brother, sister + our aunt’s family came here in Perlis. And the next day after that was when we take a one and a half hour boat/ferry trip to Langkawi, or the so-called legendary island. Lol.
I’m gonna start from the beginning. First, on the way home from KL last last week (dun remember when) my cousin (Irwan) followed us back home. Mainly for using the internet of course as he is dominating my PC opening MySpace wtf (damn I think that thing doesn’t make any sense). But at least I have some company. Its kind of bored staying alone this while.. When I’m writing this, they’ve just gone back home.
The night after my realtives have arrived here, I was told to pick my other cousin on 4am in the morning at the bus station. But then Irwan gave an idea. We sneak out early at 3am and when to Macha’s house to pick him. Then we went to 7 Eleven and sat there and talk until 4am. Wahaha. The town was really empty at that time. Just a couple of Mat Rempits and the 7 Eleven workers. But the bus was late so we went back home first and went out again at 5.30am to pick her sister.
The next day, me and Irwan who was obviously didn’t have enough sleep, along with my other relatives (total of 8 ppl including me) went to the Kuala Perlis Ferry Terminal at 10am. Luckily, the next available ferry was on 10.30am so we didn’t have to wait long to reach the Island. By 12 noon we were already there at Kuah Ferry Terminal. Don’t forget, its the school holiday. Surely there a lot of people over there. And I’m sick of that.
My mom can’t get any apartment room in Kondo Istana so we ended up to this last alternative, Bella Vista Hotel. Which looked great on the outside, but crap on the inside. The swimming pool was under construction (for years I think because they can’t afford it), the TV is micro, and it is separated by a stupid pond and ppl have to take the road manoeuvre which is very long to get out of the hotel. Think, how if you want to walk to the town?

Pretty issit? It’s just an illusion OK.
But, we managed to get an affordable rental rates during the school holidays for a Toyota Avanza thanks to one of the hotel staff. Perfect for 8 people. Our first destination in Langkawi was the Gunung Mat Cincang (I dunno how to spell it correctly) where there is the Geopark and the Cable Car. The admission fees is RM15 if you’re able to show your MyCard and RM28 (maybe) for tourists.

I only can show the pictures at the Cable Car taken by my handphone because other pictures was in my cousin’s camera. And that was the only place I took pictures of by my handphone. Mind the quality ok.
