Trip to Helang Land 'LANGKAWI'

Knock Knock Knock! Anybody still here to visit my blog? I am sorry for not updating my blog for like 9 months (OMG!! IS KINDA LOOOOONG!) Sowwieeeee! I start my new work on November and after that I have no much time to blog about my routine. So, let me recall back where I've been to for my first trip with the boyfie's ex-collegues! Title says it all, that's what I'm going to blog about. First, There were not much photos taken because I'm very very lazy to capture. Heheh!

The last time I step into Langkawi was when I'm on my standard 6 graduation trip. It was like err.. 12 years ago! I still remember where I went to. The memories there with my primary school friends and they are also my secondary school friends. I just remember the teachers all busy shopping while we were waiting for them =.=''.

Okay! Let's start my journey to Langkawi from Subang Airport. We took Firefly because we plan a budget trip. Basically, the hotel and air-ticket were arranged by one of the boyfie's ex-collegaue. I just sit down ther and wait for the day to come. LOL. We were there for 4 days and 3 nights which is on the 13th Dec 2013 to 16th Dec 2013 (I know this post should be blog earlier).


The seats in Firefly (Btw, they provide a cup of drink during the flight)

I will just summarize the whole trip because I don't really can recall back. Please forgive me!!

After touched down at Langkawi Airport, is a must to rent a car there because there were 7 of us during the trip. One of the boyfie's ex-colleague had been there so he go around the counter to ask for the prices to rent a car. At first, he wanted to rent Mitsubishi Grandis (it had GPS)  but there were either no car or very expensive. So, he rented a Toyota Innova with around RM700 for 4 days.

The first thing to do when you get the rented car is to check the condition, the outlook of the car and show them the scratches of the car(if any) to the person. Make sure it is not done by you. After that, went to pump petrol la of course. Then, straight go to checked in at Resort World Langkawi. It is located 10 to 15 minutes from Pantai Cenang. For more details, click here to view the environment there.

As you all know, when you come to Langkawi the first thing you gotta do is to go Duty Free Shop to shop for BEERS, LIQUORS, CHOCOLATES & SNACKS! We hangout at Cenang Beach after our dinner every night. Lay down on the white smooth sand and listen to the sound of the waves which makes me feel so relaxing and comfortable.



Day 2

Breakfast at the hotel as usual. We were planning to go to the Panorama Langkawi for the sky cab and sky bridge. For more details click here to see the website. So, I got so excited because it was my first time taking the sky cab up to the hill.You guys didn't see wrongly. is my FIRST TIME! (idarenottakeskycabatthegentingone).

Before that, I follow the trend now. LET ME TAKE A SELFIE FIRST!


When we reached there, woah! You can't imagine the crowd there. The queue is superb looooong just to buy the tickets. Then we decided not go on the last day. As usual, group photos there before we leave. Kachak kachak kachak!

Next stop, to the Eagle Square also known as Dataran Lang in Bahasa Malaysia. It is a must to visit this place because this place represent the name of the place. Oh ya, There's the Langkawi Jetty right beside Eagle Square. So, the place is quite jam and pack. Took photos and then to the next stop!



Leaving Eagle Square and headed to the Black Sand Beach. Normal beach but the sand underneath the white sand is black.Wow! So amazing! LOL. Nothing to do there so took a picture of it by writing LANGKAWI.



Back to Cenang Beach before dinner. Alot people were at the beach. Some were swimming, some were playing kites, some were sun bathing, some were camwhoring! LOL. We are the one who camwhore of course. Didn't manage to swim so we just chill there with the view of the sunset. I kinda like the view! TOTALLY IN-LOVE WITH IT! 

You see how not to love it!!






I love the natural effect when taking this picture.
Totally no edit at all!!

After dinner, back to Cenang Beach again for drink! LOL


Day 3
Breakfast again before heading to the Langkawi Kilim Mangrove. There are several mangrove tour destinations in Langkawi. One of the most popular is the Sungai Kilim Mangrove with its purpose-built jetty, foodstalls, convenient wooden walkways and a host pf wildlife attractions to keep you gawking as much as the eagles are doing likewise to you. 

Bats Cave and Crocodile Cave
Named after its inhabitants, the Malaysian fruit bats, this cave is located along the Kilim River. Accessible only by boat, you can then walk along a wooden platform through a mangrove swamp, leading directly to the cave. The stalactites and stalagmites are of gigantic proportions, forming weird figures reminiscent of other worldly creatures. Directly opposite the exit is a huge greenish limestone structure that resembles the portrait of an ancient family complete with a pet dog (or young deer), which prompts one to name the cave Gua Keluarga (Family Cave) more appropriately. The wooden walkway leads right through the cave and emerges at  other side, round the base of the limestone hill to rejoin the jetty.

The Gua Kelawar (Bat Cave) is also located here. You can take the wooden walkway for a 10 minutes walk before reaching the cave entrance. Gua Kelawar comprises two cave systems - the smaller western chamber that extends northeast by southwest, has a floor area of approximately 270 square metres and low roof of between one to three metres head clearance. On the walls and roof of the cave you can see embedded very old seashells. This provides proof that the area was originally the sandy bottom of an ancient river that has been shoved upwards by powerful tectonic force millions of years ago. Another reason is that the sea level about 5,000 years ago was two metres higher than today.

Gua Buaya (Crocodile Cave).The name of this cave may either entice or scare off visitors, depending on their attitude to the crocodiles that still exist in the area, although not in so large a number as in the old days. This cave is unique because the Kilim River actually flows right through it, and is navigable by a small boat at low tide. Inside the cave there is an ascending chamber flanked by walls of white limestone with minimal stalactites and stalagmites. Small colonies of bats roost on the lower ceiling. As part of a tour package, a boat journey culminating in a visit to the cave will provide excitement and adventure.

Eagle Feeding
Watch Brahminy Kite Eagle and White Belly Sea Eagle in action trying to outwit each other during the "Eagle Feeding" . Eagle-Feeding is one of the must-do things in Langkawi. It will be your best magical moment, ever! Where else on earth that you can cast your magic and summon the wild eagles to you?

Never took any photos for those three places. I was busying listening to the stories that the person told us. Hehehe! Had our lunch and then straight to the beach facing the Andaman Sea i think! Here's the photos, I don't wan't to talk much!


                                            





DAY 4

The last day here in Langkawi. We were rushing to go to the Panorama Langkawi that I mention earlier. (Breakfast also didn't finish then have to rush out already)

And now, We are here at the PanoramaLangkawi! Waiting for the queue to get into the sky cab! This is my first time sitting on a cable car.My heart was like beating 100000000x times faster than usual. I felt scared and I think alot.







Lastly, is time to say GOODBYE to this awesome! Heading to the Airport after touch down from the cable car to catch out flight!

That's all for now! Adios!
