HolidayS!!!!

The wait is finally over as i'm basking in the luxury of feeling bored almost everyday...(it's not really a luxury really...not when I'm one who spends my time hanging around doing nothing at all...i wonder if this is the reason why i'm always screwing exams)haha...anyway..just came back from a trip to Langkawi(meant to be a class trip but ended up with only 6 participants...turned into a 3 days 2 nights bonding session instead..).

Damm...Langkawi is such a heaven..totally contradictory to my commercialized perception of this island...the beaches are superb...champagne coloured sand(except for one that's named Black Sand Beach...very appropriate considerin that the sands there are...urmm...black?haha...it's genuine black sands..not polluted white sands or anything like that...it's black but it doesn't leave stains at all).

The water here is quite literally greenish blue really...man...I've gotta admit my comformity to Subang's hustle and bustle really disintegrated my longing for the beauty of these wonderful creation of God...now that I've seen it...man...got totally blown away...kinda feels like having a billion ringgit in a Ferrari showroom.

During the stay I actually got to visit places like Mangrove park where there are tons and tons of mangrove trees(trees with its roots above the soil...pokok paya bakau or sth like that...Geography's really a stranger to me now). The wildlife here is absolutely breathtaking..they have monkeys,eagles,crabs crawling around the riverbank,fishes TALLER than Chern Yuik...damm...I actually got to feed those eagles and some stingrays(Steve Irwin...we'll miss you..). It's quite an mind blowing experience really,being so close to nature and actually getting to interact with its habitans...

The 2nd day was more of a recreational day where we visited the Aquarium(more fishes and alot more PENGUINS!!!People...it's not just in the cartoon...these fat birds are really really adorable..and really...they walk just the way they do in cartoons...all clumsy and lazy...haha...man...i wished i could keep one).

Before the day ended we made a visit to a very remote waterfall that's still safe from the overzealous pollution of tourists...we wouldn't have known such a fascinating place if it wasn't for Yusry, our driver cum tour guide for this trip. It was gorgeous and Tony(an uni classmate of mine) even managed to catch a prawn and ate it...talk about getting close to nature.

Late evening, WATER SPORTS!!!=D. Kayaking was probably the highlight of my trip really...we actually kayaked to one of Langkawi's many sub islands...there are actually so many islands that they haven't got to name some of them.the water was really clear and as much as it was...i was exhausted at the end of the rowing session...finally we ended the trip with something that has always been elusive to us in the city...an appreciation for the beauty of these natural wonders...and also...much firmer and taut triceps!

haha...merci beaucoup...au revoir.
