Thanks for tuning in, this is part 2 of the langkawi trip..

   Soon, we got off from the train at Arau.. Wat a place, the train station looked a bit old, quite old in fact. We then quickly took cabs to the jetty straight away! Emm.. the cabs was antiques too.. instead of the normal perfume like ambi pure, they used natural flowers for fragrance instead, most impressive. Later, we reached the jetty and bought the ferry tickets.

   During the ferry trip, i tried to sleep again but yet i failed again! This is not fair, as everyone else was deep in their slumbers. When we reached the jetty, I was surprised to see the renovation done to it! It was so different from the last time I came (about 2 years ago). Whoa!!!! was my reaction, ok la, maybe I exaggerated a little bit.. We then restocked some of our supplies, some replenish their mineral waters while some replenish their already ‘hangus’ wallet at the atm machine!

   We did not waste any time and rented 2 cars, wira that is. We were then seperated into 2 groups, Ernest, Mee Teng, Chee Kong, Zachary and Kar Kiet 1 group while Me, Taw Jin, Yuen Cheong, Li Ting and Sok Fong 1another group. We then drove to ermm, i dunno where is it for lunch. Then we went to the hotel to check in.. Upon arrival, Tj and Sok Fong went down to check in while I get to drive Yc to the airport with Li Ting which was nearby.. The driving experience was fun! The hotel was Hotel Helang and it was a 4 star hotel. Tj was able to get a free rome there and we only hav to pay for another 1.

   In the hotel, Sok Fong was the only 1 who bathed.. Coz all of us was rushing to go to the cable car! All of us went except for Sok Fong.. We went to the cable car with a disposable camera they bought there because sadly nobody brought a camera. Nevertheless, we were able to take pics with hp camera. In the cable car, some had their knees shaking! Hehe, coz they hav height phobia.. On top of the hill was so breezy and nice! Walked around and took some pics.

Thanks to Taw Jin who organized a trip to Langkawi that we all r able to hav fun! Well this is part 1 and i will make it short, not long-winded.

   Finished packing my stuff around 4pm and started my journey to brickfields at 6.30. I can’t believe that my luggage was so heavy! Was having a wee bit of trouble carrying it around.. Aiyah, i admit that I’m not that strong lar k? Met up with Tj and Sok Fong at Li Ting’s house. Then have to carry the luggage to KL sentral! Ah, pity to both of my hands.. Met up with Yuen Cheong there and we ate KFC for dinner. Waited for Ernest, Chee Kong, Mee Teng and Zachary ( dunno how to spell his name) to arrive. Then did some last minute shopping at sentral e.g buy mineral water and other stuffs. Kar Kiet was the last to arrive.

   Then we was told that there was a delay in our train. Instead of 8.45pm, we will hav to wait until 10pm! We then sat down at starbucks.. Most of them played UNO while me and yc played chess as tj watches.. Well, finally got in the train at 10pm!

   Emm, the sleeping place in the train was quite spacious.. thank god i can lie down straight unlike some of my frens hav to sleep bengkok a bit because the too erm.. long? Haha. Played a few rounds of chor tai dee then headed to the cafeteria. Tj ordered nasi goreng ikan masin while Yc ordered nasi goreng pattaya but pattaya ended up to be paprik! Eat Yc eat! Soon it was time to sleep after chatting nonsense for an hour.. My old trouble came again, i can’t sleep!!! Hav u ever tried lying on the bed for 7 hours but u can’t sleep? That’s me! Argh, i was damn tired for the whole day to come.

   In the morning after that night’s struggle, i finally decided not to ’sleep’ anymore. Woke up chatted around and here’s some pics
