I ♥ Langkawi

After meeting the Merlion, we continued our vacation to Langkawi!

Bye bye, Singapore!

Trust me, it’s not a good idea to do that. Firstly, the flights there really drained our energy. By the time we arrived, we were so exhausted!

Secondly, it’s a huge change. Travelling from such a developed country to a very small town really made a big difference. Couldn’t adapt to it for the first few hours but, soon, we realised Langkawi could offer us something that Singapore couldn’t.

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" Isaiah 40:31

The beautiful islands and beaches!

The speed boat we used to travel!

We were in Langkawi for just 2 days & 2 nights coz’ we only arrived there at night. So, there weren’t enough time to do a lot of things!

We were thinking of renting a car. So, on the next day, Daddy called to ask about it. While waiting at the lobby, we met a couple there. They were very nice to us that they recommended the island hopping tour they were joining.Since the deal was quite good, we decided to ditch the car rental idea and went island hopping!

At the jetty =)

It was quite an impulsive decision but, we totally loved it! The sea was great and I loved the whole tour.

We went to 2 islands and a fish farm. First island was just a place to swim but, all of us didn’t want to waste our time there since nobody planned to get wet, so we skipped it.

Then, we went to watch eagles feeding. The eagles were small but, it was very interesting to watch. They fed them chicken skins because chicken skins could float on the water.

Pic blurr because of shaky boat and poor skills (duh!)…

Later, we went to the fish farm. It’s like a small hut in the middle of the sea. They got a very big, yellow shark there. Others were big fishes but, I think they were baby sharks.

A while after, we proceeded to the famous island, Dayang Bunting Island. There, located the biggest lake in Langkawi, the Lake of the Pregnant Lady. It’s a fresh water lake so, it was quite amazing to have a fresh water lake on an island in the sea.

Fatty lady in the pic! Haha=)     

We went for a boat paddle. We got the automated boat coz’ we were too tired to paddle. Lol!

Lynna and me on paddle boat=)

While we were busy paddling, Mummy, who were sitting at the hut, saw a Singaporean actor! So lucky. And she claimed that she got to talk to him. Too bad she didn’t get to take a picture with him. No camera with her that time! =(

After about 1 hour there, we left. It was a quite trip back to the jetty because everyone was tired but, we enjoyed it very much! Amazing experience to see God’s awesome creations.

No doubt, I ♥ Langkawi!
