Cameron Highlands 14 - 16。09。14

After Pangkor, Christine and Yong backed to KL while to grant S's wishes I brought her to Cameron Highlands.
I'm sorry that I didn't even brought her to a real strawberry farm.
But following these crazy friends to Ipoh for a midnight's movie.
And yet I was fallen asleep during the movie cuz you know the premium couch is too comfortable and cold.

There is not direct bus from Lumut to CH.
So, we have to stop at Ipoh to take another bus to reach CH.
While waiting for the arrival of next bus, we tour around the old town.
Gosh, within one week it changed so much.
The whole vintage area of old town even the toilets there.

Just a short walking to the toilet, I found these few shops with cute signage
and also one customer per time barber's shop.

We stopped by Patisserie Boutique for our lunch.

I don't remember the name.
Salmon kind of pie. It's so yummy!
Everytime I feel hungry by just looking at this picture. Damn!

Balsamic salad with nuts.

Not wearing a nice clothes for OOTD but while waiting for the cab driver
just can't help to take photo with the bricks wall.

Here comes some nice food in Cameron Highlands.

Oh yeah, too much cheese to handle!
I never reject any food comes with cheese.
This pizzarie shop is located at Tanah Rata opposite the terminal bus , 
is so easy to find just along the shoplot in the town
same row as Starbucks and Marry Brown. 

The Lord, another gem found within the same area as above
but it is located upstair.
Brownie is so-so but oh Lord, the harsh brown behind was too good.
The portion is small cuz it was too nice till you don't even feel enough
with just one piece.
It kind of mixing with some herbs and veggie with the potatoes.
There was this strawberry cheese cake beside the brownie another nice food, too.
But too bad it wasn't from the same shop was my friend bought it
from some other hidden shop.

Some random places we visited.

I remember the first time I went to the tea farm, I didn't walked till the top of it.
But, this time I never felt regretted for coming to the top.
It's so breathtaking and there was a group of Indonesian teens playing guitar. 

Especially thank you to this silly guy who likes being called
as Mr. Anak Ayam,
tour guide plus driver for the whole trip.

Random shot.
Was thinking kinda got feel but now I saw so much holes.
Nose holes, eyes holes, mouth hole...lol.
And I miss the violet-red......

We went to the random stream at the jungle.
Just try to step on the freezing cold ice water, you'll feel fresh whole day.

Then, we went Rayson's guest house and took some random photo at the huge garden.

The panodash effect that I learnt from youtube.
I didn't photoshopped it, it was using the panorama's mode from phone.
Photographer moved the phone slowly and then you ran behind him moved to another spot when the phone screen reached on every gaps of the space.
It was so fun when we first tried at the stream.

Below some random flora's shots.

Pangkor Island 13-14。09。2014

Random island getaway after the hens party.

We decided to go Pangkor Island.

You have to catch a bus from KL -  Lumut. 

Then, ferry to the jetty. 

As soon as you reach the Lumut's bus terminal, there are people to direct you on which jetty you wanted to reach.

You can either choose to rent a car/bike to tour around the island or there will drivers offer you a day tour with the price of RM80, places to visit included temples, factory, beach and some historical places.

Since we just went there for relaxing, we didn't went any tourist spots except beach. 

Sunset by the beach.

Amazed by the crystal clear blue sea and the blue sky!
I always feel so happy seeing blue sky and blue sea.
Best ever creation from God!

Langkawi 03 - 05。06。14_03

Eagle square at Kuah Town.
The significant eagle in Langkawi.
Just the gigantic eagle statue and some shop lots around.

We stayed Langkawi for 3D2N.
We actually planned to do the sight-seeing on the second day morning but the weather was sucks! Is kind of rained whole day... seriously ruined the whole plan as all our original plans are outdoor activities!

The rain was kinda heavy at morning so we delayed the island hopping activity to afternoon. Then to spend time, we visited the Underwater World Langkawi.
Well, just a normal aquarium but well, you can see penguins. I actually felt that we just waste money and time. Damn rain!

Then the heavy rain turned to drizzle. So, we finally went for island hopping.
The speed boat driver brought us to the Pregnant Lady Island, then to the GeoPark ( you're allow to swim at the lakeside ), then to the beach and eagle feeding before backed to the jetty.

So, you can see from the right to left, is the head, boobs then belly.

Then, here comes the most exciting part in Langkawi. Parasailing!!!!

How I wish I could fly longer at the sky.

You can see the sky was still gloomy... I guess God always heard me, the rain stopped for half an hour and started back just after I landed on the beach side.

Its awesome man! 

I paid for RM70 for this game... I know is not cheap but sometimes I just think that if you often too care about the price and thinking that there is a cheaper place then you will just forever waiting for another chance coming to you and yet you don't know when is it going to be. 

Why not just seize the opportunity when you got it.

We left Langkawi on the next afternoon.

Thought of visiting Oriental Village for cable car riding but the time not allowed us to do so.

Anyway, the sky bridge is still under maintenance so I'm ok without the cable car ride.

Basically great island getaway.

Langkawi 03 - 05。06。14_02

What do you eat in Langkawi?
Seafood, seafood, alcohol, alcohol, chocolate, chocolate!!!!!

Basically we Malaysians when travelling in local, the food cuisine is always same.
Since Langkawi is famous for seafood, then we went for it.
But beware, the food could be overrated with over priced.
We went to search for dinner in Kuah Town after visited Eagle Square.

Glad that we found this restaurant.
Not a fancy restaurant look kinda shabby,
but the food is good and the price is reasonable compare to other famous restaurants. 

We ordered 5 dishes in total (4 seafood and 1 vegetable).
If I am not mistaken, the total amount was not more than RM100.                                               

Buy alcohols in Langkawi!!
Is way cheaper in the island, cheapest place to get alcohols in Malaysia I guess.
What a waste that I'm allergy to alcohol, sigh!!!

You can see a lot of duty free shops in the island,
I went both Haji Ismail Group and Teoh Soon Huat for chocolates.
I personally think TSH is better, the arrangement of chocolates is more systematic and the environment is cleaner.
And they have more choices on alcohol filled chocolates.

Langkawi 03 - 05。06。14_01

This semester break is kinda fulfilling.
Completed my room painting job mission and marathon kind of travelling.
Was tiring and crazy yet fun!!

Didn't really thought of visiting Langkawi but this time I don't feel like disappointing my friend again. So, here we go, the Langkawi island!

We booked this Tubotel room for our 3D2N stay.
It is an unique budget resort build from drain pipes.

The location is not very strategic as I thought I can walk to the beach from the hostel and outside surrounding looked like a construction site but once you step in it is wonderful.

You can either choose tube room facing the sea or not is all depending on the price you've paid. Perfect budget accommodation for backpacker from foreign country but not so budget for Malaysian.

You may struggle with the space for big luggage as the space in the tube is truely limited and wifi can't detected in the room even mobile data line is not strong.
But, well I guess this is a good thing.
You go there for relaxing, away from the hustle bustle of city life and social networking.

Sleeping with ocean wave sound and waking up by sunrise and seaview.

That's definitely awesome and worth the pay!

There is something special about this place: The Eco Pirate day out!

A free boat ride to the local island from the hostel and trash pick up as the return.

Cool right?! But I got not enough time for that activity......

Anyone who is going to stay there longer should have a try!

Yea... everything is same as shown in the video.

Their breakfast sets are good!

But well depending on people though, my friends doesn't like much.

And one reminder: 

Beware of the transparent sliding doors in lobby on 11p.m. onwards. They closed it so you can't pass through it to reach the toilets.

Yet, I got the most embarrassed moment by banging myself into it. Everyone in lobby was laughing at me and even again when I backed to my tube room! Gosh! Joke of the day for them I guess.
