an’t believe I took so long to continue blogging about this trip that happened months ago! Hell, the last update was a month ago! But rest assured that more regular blog posts are going to be up as I’m ORD-ing VERY SOON!
You have been warned that this is going to be a long and photo-intensive entry!
So after day one, we got up early the next day to set off for Langkawi’s waterfall!
Looking grumpy because the weather was getting hotter by the minute.
Notice how we were actually in the wrong attire; Who goes on a jungle trail in flip-flops?! And the thing is we weren’t even sure if we were heading in the correct direction, we merely followed any path that leads upwards and the sound of water.
Then we walked into this secluded place with blank billboards sparsely located along the trail. We had been walking for so long and there was no sign that we were getting anywhere near the waterfall, that it was going to look like a bad lost-in-the-jungle movie.
Lugging my camera and one-litre bottles of water along adds to the exhausting way up the steep path. We were halfway up there when we decided that we were going in the wrong direction. Lian went forward to check what was ahead of us while we took a break at the steps, and true enough, there was only an electric generator up there.
It was truly a FML scenario when we finally found our way out of the jungle and realised we were walking in the wrong direction for the past 45 minutes!
So far, all the photos taken with my camera do not have me inside as I was the one photographing. It’s like I’m writing a story about these three guys on their arduous journey to the top of the jungle. Sigh, story of my life.
AND WE FINALLY MADE IT TO THE TOP!
But it was Seven Wells that is located at the top instead, not the waterfall. It is this low rising slope with different pools of water flowing from one to another.
After some frolicking in the clear water, we headed our way down to the waterfall. And you have no idea how disappointed I was when I found out how pathetic the waterfall is.
It was only this small stream of water and we can’t even get to the bottom of the waterfall because it looked too dangerous to do so. The best we could do was to take photos near the bottom of it.
After the grueling journey up to Seven Wells and the waterfall, we went back to the hotel to change, and headed for massage, dinner and pubbing – which, I didn’t bring my camera along! So no photos until the next day!
Started day two with a scrumptious seafood brunch!
Oh yeah, we bought ‘island-hopping’ packages for the day’s activity!
The weather was darn hot and the sun was extremely scorching, so we sat along the shade like ah peks while waiting for the bus to pick us up to the jetty.
Made friends with this angmoh lady and her friend who sat behind us on the boat and she was coincidentally working in Singapore!
The islands were filled with these monkeys. They were aiming for our plastic bags and bottles the moment we stepped onto the island.
And this looked like a scene you might find outside clubs in Singapore:
That’s Lian with his model dream. LOL!
Didn’t get to parasail because they quoted us around SGD$50 for a 10 min ride! Too ex lah!
Island-hopping was rather fun albeit having only spent a short time on each island! After the activity ended, we headed to Kua town (Langwaki’s “city” area) for dinner and to change to our next hotel.
The place was quite a disappointment because it was pretty much a dead town. But we had quite an amusing encounter during dinner.
We didn’t know where to eat, so we randomly asked an uncle for recommendations. Turned out, he is probably the richest man in Langkawi.
While walking us to this particular restaurant that he said was good, he literally waved to the owners of every shop we past. We thought he was just very friendly until he whipped out his namecard and said that we can get a discount at most of the shops over there just by mentioning his name.
True enough, our dinner was heavily discounted! 
Went around the shops and I found my long lost love – Vanilla Coke!
Bought beer and crackers, and we went back to our homely looking condo apartment to unwind.
And the day ended with me camwhoring while waiting for my turn to bathe!
The last day we went to the jetty to sight-see and take photos.
Jump shot FAIL:
Yay nice one!
Went back to the condo apartment shortly after and packed for home!
Had Kenny Rogers at the airport!
HOME SWEET HOME!
