Just what I needed, a holiday to cap off my years of service with my company. The dates simply fell into place as I bought my tickets some 2 months ago. I didn’t know that it’ll coincide with my final day with the company. So that was an icing on the cake. I gallivanted to Langkawi with Ravind, my buddy of over4 years, and a great friend. 3 nights in Langkawi with the cable car, snorkeling at the Payar Island marine park and the mangrove tour were the highlights, though nothing to shout about. The worst was the Underwater World - as Ravind mildly puts it, we got butt-fucked for RM28. LOL.
Booze is still cheap, even at the pubs. I binged on Guinness Stout for RM10 NETT per pint! I bought myself a Gentleman Jack (Jack Daniel’s limited edition liquor) for RM95 and splurged over RM90 on chocolates. And for the first time in my life, I finally had CUBAN cigar! OLE! My fifth visit to Langkawi was a good one. BTW, you can rent a Proton Wira for RM50.
That’s the floating bridge
My balls shrank during the cable car ride. Yes, I’m scared of heights.
Luckily his surname wasn’t Chin.
Yup, this is not an illusion.
My favorite at the moment. Kilkenny too.
Dang! Isn’t this an international breakfast?
There were over 8 sharks circling the beach for food
Pulau Payar - don’t go there for snorkeling, it’s BAD! RM130 a waste!
Mangrove Tour: RM90
I fed this stingray right after I took this shot. It ate off my hand!
That’s a horse shoe crab
A really small cave, it was a drive thru
Throngs of eagles feeding on some fat that the guide threw
Idiotic authorities cut the stalactite to build a platform to view that same stalactite. How STUPID some people can be! 10 cm per thousand years!
No name?
RM90 worth of chocolates. Should’ve bought more. Yup, I’m a chocoholic!
