3 days 2 nights Langkawi Trip (chapter 1)






Before heading to Kuala Kedah for ferry service to Kuah, we head to 600 cc in Tesco Penang for lunch. It is quite pricey (RM19.60) for one set of lunch, but I think it is still worth it as my stomach is quite bloated after finish eating the entire lunch set. And I think it will definitely appeal to those who like to drink big bowl of soup with a little spiciness in it.

Let the trip begins!

 

                            Watch movie(muted) / sleep in the ferry etc.


                                 And so finally, we reached the jetty terminal in langkawi!
           
We picked Best Star Resort as a place for us to stay for the next 3 days and 2 nights.Overall experience there was okay, as it is under RM200 per night. But would like my staying experience more if more TV channels are provided for entertainment for the resting time. 

Heard that there is treehouse room available in Malibest Resort. Might try it next time! 


My sis leading the way to the beach! (Pantai Cenang)
Pantai Cenang is considered a quite well known tourist attraction in Langkawi. So even if it is not school holiday(around August 17th - 19th 2015), the place is still filled with many people having fun sunbathing and enjoying the sea view over there.

Panoramic view of the beach
Detailed itinerary by the blogger-me. Sincerely hopes that it works out at that time. First-time planning a trip. =D

Dinner (Orkid Ria Seafood Restaurant)
I did some research and found out about this seafood restaurant that has good recommendations from the reviewers in TripAdvisor, and so we decided to give it a try! (from what we heard, the price is not cheap, but the food is decent! and it really is if you plan to order lobster or fish like we did.)

If you prefer something below the price range of around RM 15-20, you can go ahead and try their prawns, oyster omelette, squid. 


The ambience there was quite comfortable too . Do go early or pre-book your seats as it is a famous place to eat dinner. Or else ..... need to wait for quite some time. haha your hungry stomach sure wont be happy!




You can self-pick your fish/crab/lobster etc fresh from the aquarium. Freshness guaranteed!

Fruit juice! But still a bit disappointed with my mixed fruit juice. (far left in pic) 

Fresh lobster !!! <3 Can never forget how it taste like. Yums!! 

Steamed fish with some soy sauce. The best way to cook a fresh fish. Freshness in every bite. lol! 

11 places to go to. Sounds fun!
We went booking here for our Kilim Karst Geoforest Park Tour at night before it closes at around 10,30pm. They have a lower price for those who are living in Best Star Resort & 3 other hotels. 
I was so excited to see what to be discovered there. Child-like curiosity =="

Massage at Alun Alun Spa 
Before and after massage, tea is provided. But the funny thing is after massage, they add in a cup of carrot. Hmm... Is it just to make the tray look better? I wonder. Anyway I ate the carrot. =X




After I read some reviews from the internet saying the staff service are really good. Yeah being there and trying the whole massage experience myself, yup they are really providing a good service, smiling and greeting us as we enter and leave. And they ask about whether their pressure is sufficient or too much for us throughout the massage. 

We tried their signature full body massage for 3 of us. It is quite relaxing. haha but too bad our full body is covered with oil. Time to go back hotel and have a hot shower. Definitely recommend to do this at the end of the day! And if you have more money and would like a better experience, there is Ishan spa that offer a more luxurious massage experience. But the price is also quite "pretty". Good quality stuffs come with good price huh. =D

Supper
We ordered RM 43 (2-3pax) for 1 regular pizza choice of Hawaiian or BBQ Chicken or Pepperoni Salami +  1 Spaghetti Bolognese chicken or beef + 2 bowls of mushroom soup with garlic bread + 2 cans of coca-cola

The service of this store is pretty good, it is called Artisan Pizza locating beside the langkawi tailor shop. There are also other branches of this shop too around the area.
Mushroom soup and garlic bread. <3 love the taste of dipping the garlic bread dipping into the soup.

 
Beef spaghetti! Share with someone and leave some space for your pizza. 

Pizza time. It would be so much better if they had a cheesy crust. =/



This drink is the best beverage choice for those who don't like the bitter taste of some other alcohol. And by the way it is cheap as it is duty free. But the best part is the taste! just the way I like. =D

Okay that's a wrap.THE END for the day 1 of the langkawi trip!

Forever doesnt exist

As much as I want to believe that everything will stay the way it is, like friendships, relationships etc. But forever doesn't exist. It is something we all may desire, but eventually everything will end.

Nothing can last forever.
Our emotions, positive or negative will end. Happy, sad, angry any feelings we have will not last. And our life is not permanent too, we are only on Earth for such a short time.

All the things we do here on Earth will eventually be forgotten one day, it would be like we never have born to this planet.
You may have lived here before, but what you said or did would not be remembered anymore.

Every decade of life is like a blink of an eye, it is faster than what we would expect.
We all can relate that what happened in primary school, secondary school, college or high school might all seem something that happen just yesterday. But holding onto the past can create pain as it is almost impossible to relive those moments.

It is better for us to reminisce about the old days/all those good times and let them forever stay in our heart than wishing for a time machine to get back to the past.

That's why I have come to realize what a wise person once told me to live in the present and continue to move on - live life forward.
Be fully present and fully experience every moment.

We always think that once we get all that we want, that dream body, dream house, dream car and we can start feeling happy. But how can we be certain that the happiness will last forever?

Start living in the now and stop the mind from wandering.
Live everyday to the fullest and work towards our respective goal.
Enjoy the process, not the end.
