This Is Our Story

Haven't been blogging for the past 3 days....

This is because both dear and I were out of town...
hehe...
we went to Wesley's House in Bidor....

Day 1 : 28 June 2008 (Saturday)
We were quite early when we first reached HELP..
Had breakfast and then we head to Wesley's Hostel...which is HELP newly built hostel...which cost RM470 twin sharing....with aircond and attached toilet....however, you need to pay your own electric bill which will add up to around RM500 per month....that's alot for a small room...
Anyway, i'm not suppose to be in the room...but i didn't know that...haha...until i read the notice behind the pass where floor 2 to 8 is strictly no entry for females while flo0r 9 to don't know what is strictly prohibited for males....haha....so we gather at floor 1 which is the common room so that we can play Unhinged(not sure about the spelling)...hehe....it's a MAGIC card but the ability of each cards were rather comedy....

while we were drafting...Wesley's dad arrived...so we head off to Bidor...after 45minutes...we arrived at Tanjung Malim....had our lunch and continued our journey which is around an hour or so.....and we reached Bidor....didn't managed to take any picture...hehe....

anyway, we continued our Unhinged game....and laugh throughout.....
some of the cards have weird ability like.....
Tree Shoe....put 2 SHOE token on the card...
Standing Army....as long as you are standing, standing army gain Vigilance..
Fat Ass....if you are eating, Fat Ass got +2/+2...
then there are many more that i can't remember their name.....
need to sing to untap cards, cannot touch the table, cannot touch face, cannot laugh, cannot talk...
a good way to release stress...haha...

After dinner, we have deck test...and analysis or things like that....
then, we went mamak....yum cha...haha...
after that, we continue our game....
and sleep around 1 something 2....

why do we need to reach the airport 2 hours before departure?
i think 45minutes also enough already...hehe....
What to do?
Malaysia people all kiasu...
not forgeting...the free seating policy in Air Asia...
My aunt said that they were numbered seating...as they stated it in the ticket...
as i remember..we don't have such things...
so what happen?
When the people announced that the flight is available to board...
everyone rush to the queue...
but not queuing...
they literally cut queue...
as if you were not there...
lucky they allow children and old people to board the plane first...
so my grandmother accompany by 3 kids...
managed to save some space for us....
once we were allowed to board the plane...
those people actually ran towards the plane...
some even thought of shortcuts...
but got rejected...haha....

Day 3 : 24 June 2008 (Tuesday)
Supposed to go Cable Car and Oriental Village today....

i took a picture at the same spot 4 years ago...^^

I love sea shells...
so if any of you go beach...

As there are nothing much that we could do, we went check out our hotel and changed to another hotel in town...which is Bayview ho tel....
another 4 star hotel...

the pool is really cool...
it's at 4th floor...which is the same floor where my room was....
it's raining when we try out the pool...

Day 4 : 25 June 2008 (WEdnesday)

It's the last day in Langkawi...
It dizzle for awhile....before we reached Cable Car...
But then it stop...
we were delighted...
However, they say that they have some maintence and we need to wait till 12pm only it starts operating....
so we went to the rabbit and deer farm...

Me and Rabbit....This is a cute deer....hiding above a fountain...hehe....My cousin and I....
Can you guess how old is she?

My Family and i at oriental Village


As we need to wait till 12pm..we went and have a look at the port....
i forgot the name...there are ships and yatch there...
even Mahathir ' s bread shop is situated there...The Loaf


Went back to Cable Car....and it says that it is close.....although it's 12...
why?
Because the radar detect that there are thunder up there....
while down here is so bright...and hot....

Can't do anything ...we head of to Craft Centre....
And then to Black Sand Beach.....Me....collecting sand...hehe...it's black in color....

After that we head back to hotel, took our luggage...
then had our final lunch...and final shopping....
where i got dear's Top Deck Carlbery Chocolate....

Head off to airport....
we were early for 2 hours plus....
Malaysia is so not professional..There is a label that shows that you should pack all your duty free items in your luggage before you check in....
So, we packed everything in the bag...
After all the hustle, the kastam ask why we put it all inside..
we were suppose to hand carry it...
it's not suppose to be in the bag....
that sign is only for international passengers....
it's not written there....

Nevermind...
we head over to the check in counter..
don't know what took him so long....we waited for an hour before we managed to check in...
during check in...
the person was unwilling to put the fragile sign on the luggage....
he say that their policy it's no bottle in the luggage....
so we took out some....

when we reached the second kastam....
the kastam officer stop us...
asked why we bring the liquor in...
they even show us the poster they stick around saying that you not suppose to bring any liquid more than 100ml up the the plane....so if we were bringing liquor and it's brand new...of course it's more than 100ml.....
who should we listen to?

Can't help it...
this is Malaysia...
so we managed to bring up some to the plane....
and some in the luggage...
haha..violating abit of here and there...
but no idea which is right which is wrong....

Arrived at LCC Terminal at 6.35pm...

Saw this plane...

hehe...

Took a private limo back to my house.....
unpacked the stuff...
and this is what we bought....
acutally it's only part of it...excluding t-shirt and some chocolate...haha...

And some sand bottles...for my friends....
hope you all like it....

Although there are many complications in between, it's still a nice trip..get to skip class...release stress..and most of all...spent time with family... ^^
