Langkawi ain't dull town

Who says Langkawi is a dull town?
Who says Langkawi has no fancy cafe and restaurants?
Who says Langkawi has no night life?

(OMG I sound like Celcom's advertisement wtf)

Sunday Bistro, beautifully decorated with Bali-styled lighting and garnished with palm trees. Hmmph, if the dinner wasn't complimentary of Awana Porto Malai, we would have be here for dinner! :(


Mini clay monks with candles that gave me the peace and serene feel.


This place worth the try! Just look at the exterior design!


Strategically places spot lights to beautify the entire area.




Lalala... random pictures to fill in the spaces~


Next, we spotted a kampung house geniusly designed and turned into Malay restaurant. Pelita minyak lighted the pathway to this only one of its kind restaurant.


-Jengjengjeng-


Does this look like a restaurant to you?


You can't get enough of me wtf.


We are terribly disappointed that we didn't give this exclusive restaurant a try.


Head over to Sunsutra, for a quiet drink and snacks with your pals.




I fell in love with their distinctive design. :k Totally unique!






Most of the decoration item in Sunsutra are so unique, I wonder where they got it from? This is a perfect place for a drink!

Warning: Ugly photos ahead! Hahahaha...

The imitation.


The wannabe.


The guarding team of Sunba *wtf*.

We walked along Pantai Cenang and we came across this special toilet (wtf what so special about a toilet?) in Sun Mall (notice that Sunsutra, Sunba, Sun Mall are all under the Sun Group!).

This IS NOT the special part. Scroll down.

This is it. Notice it? There are NO walls, it overlook to the decorations outside the toilet! Someone might actually peep you from the white brick wall while you are doing your business! Frankly speaking, I wasn't in the "comfortable" mood when I was peeing. Most of the moment, my eyes were looking at the wall, just in case there are any Peeping Tom, and in my mind I was chanting, "faster faster finish this up wtf".

The same wall, the same vase, the same stones, the same "feng shui" river as the one above. Phew~ yes, unique toilet indeed but lack of security! ;)




What is Langkawi without the booze? :D

Warning: Nice photos does not equals yummy food

Read the title. 'Nuff said. But before you get the real picture, here is where I wanna be in 10 years time:

Taipei, LA and Zurich


Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York (nah, in my dream wtf). One place I can afford now: Bangkok!


Bangkok, here I come this October! Woohoo!!! :D

And here are what I meant "nice photos does not equals yummy food". If this dinner wasn't complimentary (free lar abuden...) of Awana Porto Malai Resort, I wouldn't be there that night. There are hundreds of eatery places I can go to in Langkawi! Sigh... there's nothing much that I can do right now as the food has entered my mouth and out of my body :o wtf.

Dinner of the night

Warning: Don't be fooled by the outlook of the food!

Poach chicken with garden crisp salad


Cream of vegetable soup with bread and butter


Pan fried fillet of fish with garlic lemon butter sauce accompanied with sauteed mushroom and vegetable


Grilled chicken with mushroom sauce accompanied with sauteed mushroom and vegetable


Baked cream caramel



After dinner, we went for a stroll along the Pantai Cenang where there are hundreds of unique dining places, distinctive bars and lounge and astonishing lighting. Won't be sharing this now as me is sibeh sleepy, me laptop shows 10:55 pm now, me is working tomorrow, me is lacking of sleep, me is stressed at work, and me need sleep as a way to destress myself :x sigh...

:k Kisses everyone! Oyasuminasai~

The terrifying Langkawi Cable Car

You can go around telling other people, "I have been to Langkawi cos I had booze, chocolates, sunbathing, island-hopping yadda yadda yadda...". But ONE thing you can't miss IF you are here in Langkawi is this:


THE LANGKAWI CABLE CAR!

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRY THIS IF YOU HAVE WEAK HEART! Okay, I am exaggerating. (P/S: I admit that I'm too lazy to write right now and *psst* I got the excerpt from here. All my credits goes to them! ;) )

The entrance to FUN.

Oriental Village is located at the foot hill of the Machincang mountain. From here, we will be taken up to the cool Machincang range via the Langkawi Cable Car on new and modern gondolas giving us the panoramic views of the surrounding forests, the Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells) waterfall, as well as the sea.

I'm not pretty today wtf.



We share the gondola with this couple from Jordan. :D


Up, up and away!!!


Nah... it doesn't look terrifying from the pictures. You gotta TRY THIS YOURSELF!




You can't imagine how high we are now!

After a journey of 1,700 meters in length from Base Station, we have finally reach the Middle Station!

This intermediate Cable Car station on the eastern ridges provides the much desired to the eastern cliffs with its 3 vertical chimneys and the beautiful 360 degree views.

We are now 650 meters above sea level! That's the Curve Hanging Bridge.

After enjoying the beautiful view, we board back the gondolas, which will take us to another 450 meters up to the Top Station.

Taadaaaa... :p

A short walk up the stairs from the Top Station will take visitors to the two (2) viewing platforms at the top of Gunung Machincang, the climax of the trip. Visitors will be amazed at the unfolding dramatic views from the platforms, the many unique and exciting features of Machincang, are dominating rock tower peaks providing spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of the Langkawi islands, Kedah and Southern Thailand as well as dramatic views of the deep chasms, overhangs cliff walls, isolated pinnacles and some caves. Such nature monuments are seldom seen anywhere else in this combination except in Langkawi.

The over-ruling height of Gunung Machincang (708m), its commanding views over Langkawi, the western sea-coast, and the dramatic views over the funnel with its staggered rock blocks will make the visitors wonder in amazement and bring the visitors so close to nature that they can practically touch it!

A cafe at the Top Station offers delicious refreshments and unbeatable views with refreshing cool breezes, which allow visitors to enjoy Sunsets at 708m above sea-level is about 5 degrees (+/-) cooler than lowlands.

Remarks: I am so lazy to write today! Sorry... :(

I do what I does best: macro photography! ;)


After trekking through the forest (hey, it's tiring okay!), we have reach the...

Curve Hanging Bridge!!!

Latest attraction at Langkawi Cable Car is a 125 meter curve platform, pedestrian bridge across a deep chasm linking Top Station with Machincang mountain range. Open to public on 27th February 2005. It won a few recognition awards for this incredible design.

It's actually quite windy, and the bridge is SHAKING!!! :o WoOOoooOOoo...




Beautifully structured bridge! Bridge around the corner? ;)


Freakingly scary!

Yay, we have reached the ground! It feels so good to touch the ground. Seriously. I hate being in high places. Hmm, what do you call this??? *fumbles in Google* Oh yeah... Acrophobia! :x

Even bunny prefers the ground wtf.

I have nothing better else to do than stuffing myself with booze (to cool me down on this scorching day) and randomly snapping pictures. :) I did not use any PS to create some of the effects :D (damn proud of myself wtf).

Lalala... jengjengjeng...:
1. I am getting lazier day by day. I have lotsa outstanding post to share with all of you, but I don't have the time to write about it. Sigh...
2. I am looking for a good concealer for my eyes and anywhere my face needed to be cover up. Any recommendation on what to get and where to get it? (not so expensive please!)
3. Yay, my next year's plan would be getting diving license! Woohoooo... Save it up save it up $$$
4. Who can teach me the easiest way to glam up my pictures using PS???
5. What's the difference between muffin and cupcake? Both look the same to me... ;)
6. Tralalala...
