Yay, I am finally back from the enjoyable yet exhausting trip to Langkawi. It was wonderful and didn’t disappoint me. A really memorable graduation trip to end my boring APIIT days.
I’ll start from Day 1. This trip consists of 16 guys and 4 girls, what a poor ratio, LOL. Most of the people are from FF0431. All of us planned to meet in Hentian Duta at 10pm, Friday. Most of us arrive punctually except for the person who keeps asking me to be punctual, the one and only Kitty, our beloved organizer. Without him, this trip probably won’t happen anyway. So a big thank to him. Things didn’t go well from there. We got the weather forecast from Steph which states rain n thunderstorm throughout the next few days. WTF!!! was our reaction that time. I’m glad Steph’s forecase sux becuz there was only light rain on the next few days. YAY!!
The bus departed at around 11pm. I sat with Wai Jin on the bus and chit chat a lot about JDorama and anime. A little drama happened on the bus. The people that sit behind, notably Siew Vei and Kevin laughed really loud after sharing a rather funny Chikumalu joke. The 2nd bus driver scolded them, and I mean really scold them. It was late at nite and the 2nd driver was trying to get some sleep. So, its understandable that he got mad if people disturb him from sleepin. Nevermind that little drama, our spirit will not be faltered by such little thing.
The bus stopped halfway for us to have some food since everyone was pretty hungry. The bus was pretty fast after they swapped drivers. We even went past a few red lights in Perlis. A small note here, dis driver is da same person that scolded us earlier, LOL. We arrived at Kuala Perlis jeti at roughly 5.30am, almost an hour earlier than expected, thanks to his driving skill. The ferry was supposed to come at 7.15am, so we had plenty of time to spend. We went to a nearby mamak to have some roti canai while waiting.
On the ferry, some slept like he/she is dead while others had some laughs becuz the TV was showing an old HK comedy about a vampire killer. I wonder why TVB dun make vampire shows anymore. US is all about vampires recently because of the movie “Twilight”, which is a box office hit. It will be fresh for TVB viewers other than those love and “rebut harta” story.
The ferry journey took roughly an hour. We rent 5 laoyah cars (with very little petrol left). After pumping petrol at Kuah, the main town at Langkawi, we went to a nearby restaurant for its Chicken Joe Boneless Chicken Rice. I like the name, lol. It seems that Langkawi has some really poor food. We never had any nice food throughout our whole journey.
We reached our hotel, the Helang Hotel at around 11am to check in our 5 rooms. Each room has 2 queen sized beds, which is enough for 4 people to sleep. This hotel has a really poor management system. We waited from 11am to 4pm for them to finish preparing the rooms. Lotsa time wasted here while we could actually use the time to have better activities. The plan was that I share the room with Kevin, Keith and Jit Min. After a quick bath, we went to Sandy Beach for our first real activity at Langkawi, hurray!!
Since its school holiday, the beach was quite packed with people, ranging from locals to angmohs. We walked around and played volleyball while the girls spam their camera with insane poses, lol. Dai B was the poor guy here to be ambushed by Smokers United. They push him down and kick sands all around him. He practically became a sandman after that and looks like a piece of shit.
Everybody was hungry by then and we proceed to dinner at a nearby chinese restaurant. The boss was crap. He suggested a promotion package with 7 dishes and 1 soup. When asked about what are the dishes, he just simply say something and ends the sentence with “wat oso got la”. O really? Really wat oso got? LOL!! In KL if he say lidat, he is doomed, lol. We din really like his attitude, but we juz get on with it without sayin much. The food was once again, NOT NICE.
We went back to hotel afterwards to bath and prepare for beer drinking session. The girls went shopping and din join us. We played all kinda card games and punish the loser with half cup of beer. Somehow, they feel that my 21st birthday shud hav more alcohol and repay the favour here at Langkawi. I was aimed by everyone and all I do in the game is to keep drinking everytime a turn ends. Somehow when I am drunk, lotsa funny stuff happens, like asking ppl to kneel down, sleep on carpet, askin funny questions etc. I was very high but I still know wat I am doin. I was pretty much dead after crazying a while.
Day 1 is more about exploring Langkawi and settling down. The real activity was only playing for few hours at Sandy Beach. I will begin on Day 2 in the next post.
