Langkawi 2010 - Day 4
The final day was spent on the beach lazing with cans of cold beer. Our flight back to Singapore was around 5pm and we set off from hotel at 3pm. Did some duty free shopping and gotten some skin care products for my girlfriends. Tiger Airways set off on the dot and reached Singapore around 615pm.
Do also note that arrival hall for Singapore budget terminal has very limited duty free shopping and they mainly carry only perfume products.
Berjaya Resort was reasonable but requires more maintenance and improvements. I tried arranging for some Birthday decoration in the room but the hotel said it was chargeable! We paid around RM400 per night and they wasn't supportive to throw some nice flower petals on the bed for me.
Stardust cruise was a huge disappointment as I had high hopes and really looking forward for our sunset dinner cruise. Being the most expensive dinner cruise available (RM 295 per pax), I was not too satisfied with just a verbal sorry over the phone.
Nevertheless, the trip to Langkawi was pretty awesome. The sea was quite alright but the weather is a bit too hot for me. Rustic with interesting culture, there were definitely tourist traps with prices to rip you off, but there were also duty free booze and quite a fair bit of shopping, sightseeing and friendly people in town. Thank you Langkawi!

Langkawi 2010 - Day 3
Despite aching calves from island hopping and shopping, I was really excited for day 3! Berjaya provides free shuttle transport as it is pretty near Oriental Village.
Off to Oriental Village around 10am for cable car and some duty free shopping.
Hat was "forced" on me as someone thinks it looks really cute.... Cute indeed, but you will have to kill me first before I will actually wear it.
Traditional noodles to kick start the day.
Got two tickets. Ticket purchase was pretty fast but queuing up for cable car took us around 30 minutes.
Giant rotatory wheel
Cable car going off
Setting off!
The view was really scenic and it feels very breezy and peaceful.
Awesome view from top
Big grin on face with beautiful sunshine and soothing breeze.
Next stop
Walking down
View from cable car on the journey back to main station
There was a pretty run down deer & rabbit farm.
Trancing the bunny. This refers to the fact that many rabbits will become totally still if flipped onto their back as if they were comatose.
We proceeded back to the hotel around 330pm to freshen up and to get ready for the evening. Arranged sunset dinner cruise and they were suppose to pick us up around 430pm at the hotel lobby.
I specially gotten a new sundress and bikini for the specially arranged cruise dinner. But big hiccup came when the cruise manager called the recreation desk and told me on the phone that they are experiencing technical issue and will not be able to set sail.......................!!!!!!
As the trip was suppose to be a Birthday surprise for my beaut (I arranged a Birthday cake with his name written on it several weeks ahead), I was really disappointed as I do not have any backup plan.
After composing myself, we decided to go for a sumptuous seafood dinner.
Around Cenang beach, Orkid Ria which serves Chinese cuisine is really outstanding!
Oriental setups
Grilled tiger prawn
Look at the giant size!
Baby kailan with garlic
I'm still amazed by the size of the prawn
Teow Chew Steam Grouper
Butter lobster!!! - This is heavenly!!!
Strolling down the beach and found a chill out place with live band by the sea.
Lead singer on the left.
Close up on stage
Zoom in and you will find me singing on stage. Did a Birthday song and Yellow by Coldplay. My exclusive surprise Birthday gift just for my beaut. =P
Totally weird fella meditating on the beach just around the beach bar
He stayed really still even though the tide came in
And no response despite me placing a can of beer next to him
No response with close up flash
He finally moved when the band stopped playing close to midnight. He's totally awesome and friendly to have a snapshot with me! You ROX!
Back to hotel after midnight. Taxi fare cost RM25 for a 25 minutes ride back.
