My mysterious Underwater Camera.

I would like to share what I used to protect my phone underwater. This is a HyperGear Seal bag I bought from a mall in Langkawi. It cost me Rm40 for it and what I would like to say is damn worth it because I can record videos and snap photos under the water and on the water while snorkelling. It contain of 3 zip lock inside as you can see. I search at lowyat before I went to langkawi and the almost the same thing cost RM90. WOW



This is the camera I'm using now which I used it for underwater with the casing. Not a bad phone because the photos quality is nice and also record HD. half of my trip to langkawi photos is taken by this phone, include all payar island photos. hehe

Langkawi Holiday Part 3

DAY 4>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It was a very rough day since we do not have enough sleep last few days. We woke up early in the morning and went for breakfast. After than we continue sleep in the hotel until 1 hour before check out time. I felt not well that time since yesterday ate alot of hot food plus squid. I throw out all today breakfast and also yesterday dinner.

We drove to Underwater water world at Pantai Cenang. William and Jocahim went for Nasi kandar and I sat alone at underwater world eating biscuits since I was sick. After then came back from lunch we bought our self ticket and rock on. The ticket cost RM28 even with mycard....











We stay there for quite long because we do not have any other destination since the wild life park also close at 6pm, it will be not worthy when we get there. We watched penguin feeding. The emperor penguin inside so tamed that even they have to be feed by the keeper. All are not active, look like a living machine to show to public, but it was damn cold in there.


After that we started our shopping quest, we went for quite a lot of shops to search for the best price since we have time and transportation. I just bought a small box of chocolate since I scare chocolate, it will make me sick. My friends bought so many choco and also alcohol. After that we went to a cheaper restaurant with offer cheap price on the stingray and menus. Guess what, the foods were terrible. The stingray is without any sauce and the fried rice is oh my god. What I suggest is RASA is still the best even Nilai foods not as delicious as RASA.




We bought the last flight ticket and that cause us to stay at the aiport for 3 hours. We reach that at 8pm and our flight is 10.40pm delayed to 11pm. What a nice trip.

Langkawi Holiday Part 2

DAY3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We woke up in the early morning to get breakfast in the hotel and prepare for the whole day journey to Payar Island. The breakfast was good and we stop by the swimming pool . After that we are ready to go.

Swimming Pool

We are get a sticker to place on our shirt so that the bus driver will know who we are. We wait the lobby. I found that the hotel I stayed have most of the tourist going to Payar Island. because the bus is fully occupied. After we reached the jetty, we were given the tag to show that we are we going since there are different packages. If you pay Rm240/person that you will enjoy the coral platform, buffet lunch and fresh water bath.

Luckily I was able to buy a marine gear for my handphone so I can take photos and videos while snorkelling.

The boat we are going to

The wind and the air temperature were so matched that you do not want to sit in the boat but standing out side the boat. What I can tell you is the whole boat only consist of us 4 local and the workers, the rest are tourist from other country. It was an enjoyment moment. After we reached Payar Island we were given some briefing about the safety and use of equipment. After that we ran into the water and begin our fish feeding.

Payar Island

The lunch we had in the package include a coke, mineral water and an apple

After the whole day adventure, we went to the hotel's swimming pool because we dont have fresh water to bath at the Payar Island. Continue swimming. It was a very tired day, really tired and we can see sun burns....

Hotel's swimming pool

After settle down everything, we plan to have dinner at Pantai Cenang seaside, but due the high price of the food along the beach we decided to take dinner just across the road at the beach, RASA restaurant. Before that we walked across the beach from the other end to the other end of the beach to RASA. We picked a stingray for sambal (ikan bakar) and ordered some veges and a chicken dish. This I would recommend you to go have dinner there, the price is cheap and food is damn delicious especially the chicken!!!!

m

The chicken is delicious but the stingray sambal is totally freak us out of spicy!! although we ask to put just a little...

Langkawi Holiday Part 1

Let me introduce the participants in this story:

Joachim, Myself, William and Lim at Eagle Square

DAY 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We arrived at Langkawi International Airport around 10.30pm at Monday night 14 feb. Get my car and started to explore Langkawi with my GPS but there is some problem when using Langkawi so we used the traditional way which is maps from the airports travel agents.

We drove to Pantai Cenang which is most happening place I guess. We park at Rasa restaurant and walk until Underwater world to have a look what is around. Most of the shops are close because it was 12am morning. As planed we will sleep in the car that night since no reception of any motel or guest house is operating in the holy morning. Since we are hungry for food after a long walk, we stop by Artisan Pizza house for supper. (Pay for delicious). We ordered one normal pizza and another expensive one, the expensive is good and the normal is .......... with the total price is better go Pizza Hut, Haha

Artisan Pizza

We planed to over night at Pantai Kok Yacht but we are so tired we park our car at Petronas near Airport and sleep with car aircond. (not recommend because is not COMFORT at ALL!!). One weird thing is people around there like to pump their vehicle tyres's air in midnight....




DAY 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We were waked by the customer of Petronas in 7.30am morning. Since we sleep in the car, the toilet at Petronas is our first guess. We wash our face and brush our teeth at there... Haha, this is my first time experience sleep in the car and brush my teeth in the public.

Petronas morning call

After that we head to our first destination which is Langkawi Cable Car. We stopped by at the Pantai Kok Yacht because of the spectacular view and breakfast (in petronas). Hehe.

At the yacht

The ticket normal price is Rm30 but with mycard only Rm15. We are the third to ride on the gondola, you can picture that we were there before the cable car start operating. hehe A lot of tourist around, not many local since is not school holiday but public holiday.

The gondola is smaller that genting's gondola and the inter-station quite far... abit scary when windy. The view on the top is mind blowing... I can't express how it feel see it and believe it.

At the peak of Langkawi

After that we direct went to Kuah town to have our lunch and check-in to our hotel. The restaurant offer some nice food. I had Salted fish fried rice which is damn delicious and the have the Kuey Teow Mee goreng is also fantastic but one thing is Rm5/plate. Quite expensive ar.

We also have our dinner at the same restaurant but night is different operator. Trust me do not order any seafood they will hit you hard one time.

After check-in hotel, we went for a nap to recharge our energy for yesterday sleeping in the car and cable car than we went to the jetty for tickets and eagle square. It is better to buy the tickets over there since it is more cheaper than online booking if you are going on low season. (note: you must buy one day earlier ticket so can they cover insurance this and that...)

The receipt for Payar Island

I also forget how many time we passed by the airport to Pantai Cenang and back to our hotel. One day sure got 3 times above.

Eagle Square

This is the place we had our dinner and each person Rm40 because of the stupid fish. First time 4 dish, 4 people RM160. Only recommend for lunch. After we finished all our foods, we have to go to the kitchen and ask where is the f*** fish....

Bill

After that, we went to a near shopping mall and purchased tomorrow swimming trunk.!!
