1st January 2009,5 men from different parts of Singapore went on a journey they'll never forget.
*play final fantasy theme song*
Alright,it's finally time for me to post up my Langkawi trip photos after a long delay.We did went for the overnight prayer meeting for 2008,and eventually we dismissed ourselves earlier to Woodlands Checkpoint area to have our supper.
3:10 am : William decided to meet us later at the checkpoint.Finally this is the first time 5 of us went for the country getaway.
3:30 am : There isn't a single people queuing up at the Singapore Custom,the queue line is not even open yet!We had to proceed to the office to get our passport checked and move on to the Malaysia custom.
3:45 am : The bus to the Malaysia custom is yet to operate.We had to take a long walk to the custom.Damn,I tell you,this will be my first and the last time I'm gonna do this.It was a super long walk without any proper path for us to walk on and we had to walk to an up-slope to the new custom.By the time we were there,we were perspiring like mad.
5:00 am : We arrived to the bus station where we can took a bus to Senai Airport.As the bus service only operates at 5:30 am,we have to wait while feeding the mosquitoes.
5:30 am : Bus came,time to sleep for 45 minutes!
6:15 am : Arrived at Senai Airport.It's the time for breakfast over there.As our flight begins at 9:10 am,we had lots of time to spare.
8:15 am : Went up to the departure hall to get prepared.The waiting area is quite nice;we could get some sleep over there.
9:45 am : Arrived at KL.Another waiting time until 11:25 am.
11:45 am : Flight delayed for quite some time,but it doesn't matter.The air stewardess is pretty.*giggle*
12:45 am : Finally arrived at Langkawi!It's sunny over there...for a while until it drizzles.
When we arrived at Langkawi,the first thing we did was to rent a car.This is where we had our first argument started.Ming Keat wanted a big car,but William and Yan Liang wanted a smaller one.The discussion went on and on until at the point of time we decided on a Toyota Vio.But since the Vio is not ready yet,we get to take Nissan Serena for a short period of time.
2:10 pm : We arrived at Langgura Baron Resort.It's a budget hotel that we booked.
The second argument which becomes a quarrel start when the room that we booked did not reflect on their list.As we are not Bahasa Malaysia trained,we let the half trained Ming Keat do the talking.
We happened to realize that the agency didn't summit our list to the hotel,so we were told to pay the full hotel amount(again)to book the room until they got the agency's prove.After 15 minutes of argument with the stuff and manager(through the phone),we only get to pay a smaller amount.
But William did not like the idea of paying up even as we already paid for it.He thinks that we should never give in to them.Kelvin Lee partially agreed.So the whole quarrel revolves around the hotel stuff,Ming Keat,William and Kelvin.
The whole thing only resolved when we actually paid the token of amount,get the room and settled with one another.
That is the problem with more people,as more people = different idea and thinking.We sort ourselves up and we learned from one another one thing: we should build up our unity from this trip.No point making so many argument until you don't really enjoy the trip.
3:45 pm : Everything settled in peace.We took a walk at the beach near our area.Not as fantastic as it seems.It looked like one we had in East Coast.
4:00 pm : We went to find a place to had our lunch,with our Toyota Vio.We had a hard time finding a suitable place to eat.The restaurant were either closed or not in our area of interest.
5:30 pm : Our stomach were growling like thunder and we had to settle with a decent chicken rice dinner at a foodcourt.
We gained some enlightenment after talking to Jenny.She shared with us some place for good food and place we should go in Langkawi.Thanks Jenny,we will try out this place on our next day.
