Stand UP and Speak OUT!: Langkawi Trip

I'm just dropping by to put a little update about Langkawi Trip... In brief,, it was FUN but kinda relax(it should be very busy) since that was a site visit that needed to produce a real site analysis..even though we made it, I'm still not satisfied with my work...

i started my journey from Ampang... at 6.00pm i skipped a Btech class and reached Ampang around 8.00pm after got something from Seri Kembangan... i packed up everything(just simply grab some shits to put in my bag)... My sister sent me to LRT Ampang at 10.10pm..There u go Hud!! that was my first time went to Pudu Terminal alone...When i reached, nobody was there except for those anonymous...written there, my Bus ticket will be on 11.30pm, MaraLiner Bus..Finally, we (jes, hilman, audi, nurin&boyfriend, aimi&boyfriend, yaya&boyfriend, and me) entered the bus and started our journey!! yay!

we arrived Kuala Perlis at 5.30am..tell u this, the bus driver's skill was really bloody amazing..damn fast like he was drifting on the road...then, we walked to the Jetty. It was not open yet because too early..we took a first ferry which was on 7.00am...fuuuuhhh, once i get into the platform, i could smell the salty sandy beach!! waa..erm, the ferry sit was truly uncomfortable...i sat on that sit with out of proportion...*sigh* we were inside the ferry for 1 1/2 hours...pretty slow actually..in fact, yes it was!! once we get there, Langkawi, feel truly awesome!! nice!We took a cab and it drove us to Langkawi Boutique Hotel (3stars hotel only). We checked-in and get the room key...the Hotel really ada style...it worth it!! i paid RM 120 for 4days 3nights (sharing with 4persons) -Jes, Hilman, Audi, and I...Regarding to the schedule we supposed to attend the meeting at 2.oopm...but it just on the paper...akhirnya, the meeting was held only with group leaders and after that no more meeting..the group leader just sorted out the task to all group members...that easy~so, we spent our day by walking around the beach and had some photography session among us... :D

The real site visit has begun!!we analyzed a lot of components. My task was 'Local Authorities Requirements'..i was working with Aaron and Munshi..They are really a great team-mate!! The site is at Tanjung Rhu...one of the beach that has the beauty essence of Langkawi... I had a bout ride tour around the islands near Tanjung Rhu...it was a nature marine Eco tours actually..there are some places that i have visited, firstly, i saw dolphins!!! omg,my first time!! plenty of them...! and then pusing2 around the forest surrounded by lime stone formation...next, we went to floating Fish-Farm, Bat Cave, Crocodile Cave, and finally we fed the eagles!! i saw closely those eagles!! they finished the food within 30seconds..that was really fast!! After that, we continued the analysis until 6.oopm...while waiting to see the sunset, we played around the beach during the low tide...photography again~haha!we were there until 8.00pm...once we returned at the hotel, straight away continued with group work until 1.00am...

Our last day in Langkawi... i woke up, breakfast, and get prepared to check-out from the hotel. We checked-out at 12pm. Amily went back earlier than us, at 7am i guess.. after that, we went to the site again...had a last simple analysis about that place...just tell u this, our site was totally different at the middle of the day... it was the high tide period!! the day before was the low tide period...i could see lots of differences!!! low tide and high tide could change the character of that place...After that, we went to the jetty and bought the ticket (scheduled at 7pm). while waiting for the ferry, we went to shop at Kuah Town... i spent some cash for chocolates!! the price is so un-bloody-lievable!! very cheap compared to the normal price..fuuhh..! at 6.50pm, we entered the ferry and enroute to Kuala Perlis...it took an hour to get there..We reached at 8.10pm.. then. we had a dinner at KFC...after that, straightaway enroute to the bus station. Our bus at 10.30pm and we arrived in KL around 5.ooam...
