Langkawi

Last Monday, I just came back from a 3D 2N trip to Langkawi. During our trip, there are certain encounters that were not pleasant but overall, it was a fine trip. We did not take the opportunity to go island hopping. We stay in Langkawi for the whole 3 days and we just went to a few places.

Day 1

Our first stop after registered ourselves in the hotel we were staying, The Underwater World.


Introducing... the penguins...

...and the Rockhopper.

Weedy Seadragon

Leafy Seadragon

"Pinocchio fish" according to Howe

And the corals.

After leaving The Underwater World, we took a stroll along Pantai Cenang and I same across the bookstore that I saw in the net selling books. I bought 2 books, Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella and Thanks For The Memories by Cecelia Ahern. I finished the first book at the end of the trip before leaving Langkawi. ;)

Day 2

When we woke up, it was drizzling out there. It was kind of dissappointed because we have planned to go to Gunung Mat Cinchang to get on the cable car. We decided to go afterall despite the rain and the moist on the hill. When we reached there, the cable car was closed. So stayed on for a while till it was on service and we get to go up to the gunung.

We did not manage to walk on the arced bridge because it was closed due to bad weather. Bad timing to get there. Should have get there in the evening to watch sunset instead.

The rest of the day, we were traveling and going nowhere. Just went shopping for chocolates, liquors (for me) and cigarettes (for Howe's parents). After that, we went back to hotel, take a nap and spent the evening by the beach watching the sunset.


Day 3

We waited until 11.45am to check out and return the rented car. We spent the rest of the day at Jetty Point playing sipping coffee at Starbucks, eating nasi kandar, buying more chocolates (it's expensive there), playing bowling and get back to Starbucks to play Jenga while waiting for our 5.15pm ferry.

Stillborn baby, foetus found

This is the headline for one of the news in The Star newspaper today under Metro North section. This is the story: PENANG: A stillborn baby boy was found dumped at a toilet by a Nepalese general worker in Komtar here. The worker was about to mop the toilet floor when he noticed a black plastic bag inside at about 10am yesterday. He became suspicious as he was carrying it outside. He then called his supervisor who contacted a security guard. The latter opened it up and saw a baby with its umbilical cord still attached. A report was subsequently lodged at the nearby police outpost. Police have not ruled out the possibility that the baby could belong to a foreigner. State CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Wan Abdullah Tuanku Said said they were now investigating the matter, adding that those with information should call the Rakan COP hotline (04-2691999). In Bukit Mertajam, a foetus was found floating at the Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) garbage trap station in Taman Sukun Indah near he...

Joke

Adapted from The Star written by Vance Carson " Whether it is used in the process of making new friends or breaking the ice at parties and business meetings, having a good sense of humour and the ability to crack a joke is an asset to social interaction. Laughing at a person who slips on a banana skin or who receives a cream pie in the face are things most humans snigger at once in a while. Whether or not it is mature or moral to laugh at others, we just can’t help ourselves. A drunken man falls on his bottom, and we laugh before we run to his aid. It is the wicked side of human nature, but a side which also keeps us sane. If we don’t laugh, we go mad. Therefore, it is an important part of learning a language and understanding a different culture that we come to grips with the jokes, gaffes, pranks and all manner of witty asides which we may encounter. Aside from the rather more slapstick events which we find amusing, jokes or amusing comments can help others to warm to us. How...

Are we Malaysians really that friendly?

When I was in my transit to LA from Bangkok, I met a guy from Afghanistan. Well, we talked we asked bout where we are from then he said he knew a few friends from Malaysia as well. He said his friends were nice, Malaysians are very nice. Then I said: 'So you think Malaysians are friendly?' 'Ya, how did you know?' 'Well, because I have heard people talking about it.' But how come me, as a Malaysian did not feel the same? I think I know why. Let me tell you. Did you notice that whenever we queue up at any counter to pay out items (food, groceries, anything) have we ever hear the cashier said 'Hello, how are you?'. We could hardly get any smile too. What happened to the 'SMILE WHEN YOU SERVE' campaign gone? It was just a momentary thing. Nowadays I always see sour face around. Well, I wouldn't say EVERY cashier is like that, some are, I appreciated them, friendly and with courtesy to serve. But how many do we actually see this? I wa...
