Wanah

It was a school holiday trip to Langkawi since I've never been there while at the same time, I had a Genting Voucher of 3 days 2 night stay in Langkawi for RM348 for 2 person including breakfast.





Flight tickets were booked one week before the trip and OF COURSE, it was expensive with the price of RM540 for 2 tickets..







The Awana Porto Malai Resort is a Mediterranean inspired resort with ocean views which located at Pantai Tengah. Services and facilities were well organized besides of having wide range of accomodation. The most attracting thing is that they have a broadwalk where the views of the Pregnant Maiden Island can be delighted. Island hopping, night fishing trips and private boat rides can also be arranged as they have their own port.



The amazing ocean views..



The deluxe king sized-bed hotel room

Traveling around Langkawi is either by car or taxi. Car rentals were available at the Langkawi airport with wide ranges of price according to the car you may want to rent. Basically, the cheapest car (kancil) was rent at a rate of RM90 for one day without petrol.

Well for us, we planned to take taxi because we were the first-time visitors there and were so afraid that we will be lost. Taxi to our hotel cost RM22 and the rate of taxi to respective destination was not dependant on the meter but on the rate fixed by the government itself. Anyone who charge higher than the respective price can be sue.

After the arrival at Awana Porto Malai Resort, it was about time to have lunch as our stomach were starving..

Since we were not familiar with the place, therefore, we took a taxi ride to the chocolate duty-free shop which we have seen during our journey to the resort. Taxi ride from our resort to the duty-free shop cost us about RM6. We then walk around there and chose to stop by at the Restoran Kampung Siam.





The Thailand Style Fried Kuetiau



Thailand Style Pineapple Fried Rice

Besides, we ordered the Thailand Style Mango Salad which is very spicy and soury..
The coconut drink was very fresh and sweet~



As you can see for the last picture, a weird look of me appeared because....yea, I'm too full!!



Foods were scattered around the table...foods for 2 person only and we actually manage to finish it!!



and that's the price for our lunch~

After our lunch, we went to the Underwater World, Langkawi which located within walking distance from our restoran. Entrance fee to the Underwater World for Mykad residents were RM18. Besides of having various types of animals, performances by the penguin, sea lion and shark-feeding can also be seen.





The weird creature...which I also don't know what is that...haha



Sharks





Tricking those penguins for food...



Foolind around in the souvenir shop..

After visiting the Underwater World, we walked around the duty-free shop. Langkawi was best known for its duty free liquors and chocolates and it is really cheap!! I am a chocoholic and that's why lots of chocolates were bought from there..and since the liquors were duty free, everyone is only allowed to bring 1 litres across the kastam. As for us, we bought a Martell which cost RM360 and a Merlot Red Wine which cost RM59.

Dinner in Orkid Ria Seafood Restoran was a suggestion form the taxi driver..according to him, this restaurant was very famous and was always crowded with people for the most of the days.







Gong Bou Pork Meat



Seaweed Soup





Beautifully decorated restaurant

Dinner ended and we walked around that place since the lightings along the streets were beautifully decorated. On our way of walking along the streets, we then reached a shop named Coral Island where you can register yourself for snorkelling in Pulau Payar. Therefore, we registered ourself for the next morning trip in which a bus will to fetch us from our resort at 8am. Snorkelling cost us about RM150 per person.

After that, we took taxi back to resort since we have to wake up early in the next morning.

Invited by my housemate suddenly who said wanted to go Port Dickson on last Saturday when I was at the moment, practicing dancing for the pharmacy prom night. I promised her to go whereby one of her friend drove there. I actually thought it was just for a makan trip when her friend suddenly said that she wanted to play kite..

We departed at about 345pm and reached there at about 5pm. Then, we went to the public beach to buy the kites which cost RM5 for one..









After playing kites, it was about 6pm and the wind started to slow down and the people there started to keep their kites..
We then decided to go for a seafood restaurant for our dinner which leaded by our friend who stayed there..and the restaurant was called as tian tian seafood restaurant..amongst the famous seafood restaurant.



the famous curry fish..







It was around 830pm after our dinner and we went to our friend's house which located nearby the restaurant. While waiting for their parents to come back so that he can drive his parent's car to lead us out to the highway, we had a short conversation in his house. And before leaving his house, his grandmother gave us half a dozen of dragon fruit which planted by them..

Thanks to jason's auntie for the Dragon fruit and also to Jason for becoming the tourist guide..It's very tasty..:p

27 of Dec, Jenjarom

I never knew that there's a largest temple in Jenjarom until my cousin came..
It was a suggestion from my parents to bring them there as my cousin came from Johor once a year. None of us knew the way there including my parents who suggested and my sister. Fortunately, we were able to reach there after 45 minutes of driving from Klang and it's actually quite easy to search for that place because there's road sign along the way.

We reached there at around 8.45pm when we saw those fascinating lightings and everyone of us was so excited to go in.


This is the name of the temple...Dong Chan Shi

When we enter into the temple, it was so dark and I didn't even know what pictures am I going to take..so, I just snap it and it came out to be a very nice photo!!
And because of that, I read the introduction written there..



Briefly, they were explaining about how those people became a follower of Buddha.






This is my uncle..



This temple is actually sponsored by the Taiwanese to pass their beliefs.
Followers and non-followers can participate in their activities for free. They also provide hostels for those foreign followers who plans to stay in the temple for helping out and also as a social workers.
