Langkawi Trip 2015

It all started off with a discount discovered by my friend from the AirAsia website. Flight tickets to Langkawi are so cheap! RM1 per journey!!! BEST DEAL EVER! (although when we purchase, it includes the airport service charges which makes it about RM10, it's sill cheap tho) With that, the discussion and planning continues....

We intended to plan a lot, however, end up with not a lot of plans, we shall just see how things goes when we reach~ and, off we go!

Langkawi, here we come!

When we landed, the airport was a really cute one~ We planned to rent a car, and to our amazement, when we just enter the arrival hall, there are so many counters of car renting services, wanting us to be their customer desperately. Stunned, we didn't know which one to choose, just stood there and exchanged looks. In the end, we went to the one nearest to us, the counter nearest to the exit of the arrival hall. (sorry, but I can't remember the company name already x0x) We got quite a good deal, RM120 for about 2 days for a Viva (cause there's only 3 of us) and we filled petrol of RM20 (enough for the whole trip and still have some extra left in the end).

With all our luggage, we drove to our hotel --- Hotel Langkasuka. We got a 2-man room and 3 of us stayed in it to cut cost, it was roughly RM60 per person. The price was quite cheap as it wasn't the peak time of holiday. There weren't many visitors anyway. After checking in, we made our way to Pantai Cenang, and managed to capture the beautiful sunset by the horizon.

Beautiful, isn't it? 

Candid Pose~ Yeah! 

typical tourist photo~ with the Langkawi sign behind~

Another candid~~~

We had a walk and searched for dinner. Finally we settled in a small and cozy cafe beside the road. We ordered one pizza and singapore fried bihoon, which taste quite nice~ (y) 

food!

Day 2~~

The day before, we already registered with the hotel, signed up for snorkeling and was looking forward to it! The company name is Coral Island. 9am, we waited at the lobby and the van was punctual! The driver went to a few other hotels to pick up other customers as well. The package was RM150 per person. It includes a lunch box and they provide you with all the snorkeling equipment and of course the transport from hotel to Pulau Payar. 

1 hour boat ride to Pulau Payar

After getting ready, we're ready to enter the water!!!! wohoo!!! adrenaline rush~ It was our first time snorkeling. It was weird at first, breathing through the tube (or whatsover it's called). But you'll get use to it after a while. The view underwater is just so breathtaking. Fishes of various sizes, colours and species swimming around you, literally just beside you!

surrounded by fishes~

We started to snorkel at about 11am and we must gather again by 2pm. We swam for about 1 hour plus and came out for lunch. And after that, it's photo time!! 

We were in luck!! One of the uncle that worked there is also from Penang! He then told one of his worker to bring us deeper to the sea, explore and see more fishes that are bigger! Too bad my phone can't go underwater, or else the photos taken will be so splendid! To our amazement, we saw a SHARK! not any baby shark, but already a grown up one! luckily it didn't swim near us, but the feeling of witness a shark in real life just can't be described by words. It was scary, but I had the curiosity to get nearer. Oh well, the shark decided to just show up, then swam back deeper to the sea again. We saw nemo, the corals they live in, big big fishes (really super super big!), and colourful fishes! so beautiful! Many thanks to Uncle "Jack Sparrow", as named by my friend. The memories and adventure is just unforgettable!

The sea is just so clear at Pulau Payar <3 <3 

The snorkeling drained all my energy. I was sleeping the whole boat journey back to Langkawi. The bus drop us back to our hotel and all of us had a shower before heading out again. Next stop, Eagle Square! There's nothing there actually, just the Eagle and the word "Langkawi". But as a tourist, we're definitely not leaving till we get a picture with both of them! 

How can we leave Langkawi without having a taste of the seafood? haha! so....tadah!! Seafood for dinner~~ It was just 3 of us, so we can't order much and too expensive, but it was worth! It taste super delicious! (especially for me, one that only comes back once in a year from overseas)

After dinner we went to the Pasar Malam in Kuah (Wednesday). The location of the pasar malam changes everyday, so make sure to check the location before departing. We went during the fasting month (bulan puasa), so the pasar malam was mostly like a bazaar. It was still fun, roaming though the stalls, Malaysian food, reminds me of the days in Matrics with my friends. We also bought chocolate from the duty free shops there. 

Time flies, it's already day 3~~~ last day~

We checked out of the hotel, then headed to the cable car~ 

We bought the combination of Sky Cable, Sky Dome( a new thing, and is included in every package) and 3D interactive art museum for RM20 (with MyKad). 

A selfie in the cable car~

The cable car was kind of scary, it's going so steep and keep going higher and higher, it just terrifies me to look straight below, afraid that I might fall. haha! silly me~ 

View from the top

The cable car drop us off at the centre platform for us to take some photos and look at view, isn't it just beautiful and breathtaking~

Not forgetting a selfie of course~

We then continue to the highest platform and we went to the sky bridge as well. It's so windy up there that our hair became a mess! And the pathway to sky bridge was under a construction, so we need to kind of hike our way there (free work out for us). We were sweating when we reached there, but it was a nice experience and the structure of it impressed me so much that I wonder how on earth can human build this bridge hanging so high up there.

Messy hair~~

We left when it was about to rain. We can see rain clouds coming near and can feel a storm coming, so we went downhill. We were really lucky 3 people, all the view were clear when we were there and the clouds were all over the bridge when we left. I wonder how the visitors visiting at that time can take a clear picture. We had a simple lunch at a cafe with a tourist price.

Next destination, 3D interactive art museum. 

There are so many 3D art that my camera is so busy from the start till the end. 

I feel it's worth visiting as you can take many interesting and cute photos! 

And with all these, we ended our visit in Langkawi~ It was a memorable trip with my friends and a nice catch up as well. This is the first trip together and hope it's not the last! ^.^ 

Note: In a trip like this, a monopod will come in handy as you can take pictures without leaving someone out~ haha! I also appologise for any statements that I made that offended you unintentionally. It's just a sharing and hope if you're planning a Langkawi trip, it might be useful~ 

Yours sincerely,

My first Valentine's Day celebration

It was a Saturday and in the morning, I was suppose to do some work as I am going to be busy for the weekends, but I just can't concentrate, my mind thinking about what to wear and thinking about him. So, time just passed by and I got dressed up for my date~ haha!

We went to Savoy cinema for movie. 50 shades of grey, MY GOODNESS~~ 18+++ haha!! oh well..I'm 19 and he's 20~ qualified~ after the movie, we headed to Sarangchae for dinner. Surprisingly, most of the restaurants were fully booked!

I gave him a pendrive+pen+lazer light as valentine present with a song "just for you" in it. I played 4 songs, medley of All of Me, 给我一个理由忘记，可惜没如果 and Top of the World. He is such a genius that he managed to get 3 of the songs correctly on our way back.

Brand New Year and Exam Preparation in University Of Nottngham

I just feel like writing something, taking a break currently from studying in Hallward Library, University of Nottingham.

Before the winter holidays, I had 2 coursework which I need to complete. It was my first time writing business essay and the marks will be taken into account. I was so stressed up, struggling to finish it and write it in a way that I felt was the correct and best way. I had no idea how to write in order to impress the marker. By having the deadline creeping near, I had no choice but to complete it. I did my best, handed in and hope for the best.

However, it didn't turn out to be what I hoped for. I only got 35%. I am still uncertain that is it over 50% or 100%, but I'm assuming the worst case, which is over 100%. I don't want to fail this module. My coursework is 50% of the total mark, another 50% will be the upcoming exam on the 19/1/2015 and is negative marking (which is you will be rewarded 1 mark if you answer correctly, and will be deducted marks if you get the wrong answer). This is just so nerve-wracking. This is unlike in high school or college anymore. I've been studying and I sincerely hope that I would be able to score in the upcoming exam, keeping my fingers crossed, I pray.

2015. A brand new start, of course, with my birthday on the 1/1. Although I'm in UK, but I did my 'countdown' in my room, not in Nottingham Castle or London with the fireworks. Oh well, I have 3 years here, sure will have chance to go to those places. Thought that it will be a dull year birthday celebration, but guess what, I was surprised by my friends on 12am that night. They came in with a birthday cake, so happy and surprised. Just before I sleep, I got another surprise. Got a reply from a guy, saying that he likes me. As I know him, I had a really hard time figuring out is he fooling around or serious about what he just said. Then I decided to reply, trying to get an answer to my question. Least did I expect that, he was actually serious. OH MY GOD! he asked me could I be his girlfriend. It took me really by surprised!! But I was so happy. I later decided that we can be a couple, for one month trial, if everything goes well, then we could officially start, or else, we could just remain as friends. He agreed. He bought me a birthday present(jacket from UNIQLO which I am wearing now), gave it to me on my birthday night, came knocking on my door. I was so shy looking at him.

3/1/2015. His birthday. We were only the same age for 2 special days. Amazing! I baked chocolate cake and went to surprised him on 12am that night. One thing stupid about myself, I bought a shirt for him, with the design of 'games of thrones', however, I bought a girls shirt. stupid isn't it?! so so embarrassing!

We are just in trial, but I am giving in so much, doing so much for him, all willingly, I have absolutely no idea why. He have 2 coursework which will due tomorrow. For the past few days, I have been accompanying him in the library until late at night. Before this, cook lunch and dinner for him, so that he can concentrate on his coursework. He is so stressed up, but I have not a single idea how to help and comfort him, so, the only thing I could do is to accompany him. Sometimes sit beside him, sometimes out of his sight, let him fully concentrate. Besides his 2 coursework, this genius still have a mooting competition against Queen's University in Belfast on 15/1. Super busy. Then after the competition, he will need to study for his exam that will be on the 20 and 22. After 22, he'll finally be more free and relax.

What do I like about him? I don't know. But he could make me shy and blush so much. We have quite a few moments together before we got together. I first know him when we went to Pasar Malam together during the freshers week. He is handsome (blush). I have no idea when he starts to like me and when I like him as well. The first time I felt something was the first time we went clubbing together. I dragged him along as I feel more secure with him by my side. That night, he held my hand, protect me, and even hugged me, I didn't want that day to end. I was so happy. Later on, we went playing badminton together, he even started going to gym with me. One time, we even went swimming together, which I never did with other guys before, just the 2 of us, of course there were other people, but just the 2 of us swimming together. We even walked to Jubilee together at night after dinner as he wanted to play badminton with the other students there, and I went to the gym, cause my badminton skills is not that good~ That night was really a work out for me, did gym for about 2 hours. Amazed by myself.

I like him singing randomly, I like him being so nice to me, I like the look of him being so serious at work, I like him when he smiles, I like him when he make me smile.
He's sometimes very evil, went holiday and took pictures of those nice,yummy food and nice places he went, sent it to me, making me super jealous and envy!
He's so lazy, that always after I cook for him, he didn't even volunteer to wash the dishes!
Evil, isn't it? but I just like to be by his side. Can do nothing to help now, but at least mentally supporting him.

I have no idea that will this relationship last, but God, I am following my heart and feelings now, and I am happy. Please bless both of us. Praying hard for him to accomplish his coursework by tonight. I have finish writing this blog and I wonder how many pages have he did.

Hope everyone will do well in exams, some started today and some starting tomorrow. All the best!

I would like to end this with:

每個人，都在等一個人，等待一个能够看到自己与众不同的，那个人。。

<等一個人咖啡>

cool u think~
