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.!!

To continue part 2.... with DAY 3

Dengue Day 9

Today I felt better than the previous days and still have to go for blood test tomorrow since my platelets not stable. No more rashes, joint pain, diarrhea, dizziness and headache. Now is in the recovery path.

Weird things is I was told to drink papaya leaves juice. Wash it clean and pound it until we get the juice from the leave and drink. Conclusion, the taste is superb weird (actually is papaya leaves taste) and is superb bitter!!!! Searched the internet and there is no prove yet show that papaya leaves juice can cure fever or increase white blood count. But somehow it was amazing, after drinking it, tomorrow all red rashes was gone....

Dengue Day 7

Today I went to the clinic as usual to take my blood cell count. This is the third different government clinic I went for my blood cell count which located at Klang Bukit Kuda. The first is at Seremban GH and second is at Nilai. This is also the fifth time my blood is withdrawn within a week and this is the first time in my life to experience it, keep nailing to the old wound!!

I was shock when I get my blood test result because my platelet increase back to 180k/microliter, is the same when the first blood test done. Everything look back to normal and the red rashes grow over the night. The doctor said you are fine but when I show her my rashes, she asked me to come again tomorrow for blood test.

Since yesterday I was brought home by my uncle to take extra care of my, I ate quite handful of nutrients foods, such as fish and etc. I believed that food is one of the factor to make you grow back stronger since there is no cure for dengue. My mum was so worried that she want to come down to look after me since my case can be worsen. Unfortunate, I'm in recovering mode now, thanks to my aunt and uncle cares.

Dengue Day 5

Today, is the fifth day of my suffers for the illness which the cure is only paracetamol and water... Dengue. Blood test and temperature examination carried out and found that my WBC and platelets is going down compare to previous 2 days and today I have no more fever, 37 degreeC. Today I still feel some dizziness since plasma leakage still occur and diarrhea.

Finally doctor gave me vitamin, which is Vitamin B-Complex, one of the benefit is to enhance immune systems function and some diarrhea pills.

Everyone hate being sick, especially myself. Never taken a medical leave before but because of a mosquito bite, I might finished up my medical leave for this year.... I felt very weird having this illness because now i felt dizzy, and weird. I just now that my body is fighting against virus.

Now water is my phobia. I have to drink so much to keep me alive!!

A long Rest For the On coming

So, after my busy schedule had passed, now I'm free for currently. I just finished my exam on last Friday and as a result everything was fine. Some of the questions are out of my source of study so the correct answer is all 3 but 1 is the key.

Since I went to KLCC, on the mean time we went to the Digital EXPO at KLCC since there is no PC Fair at the end of this year. We just do a window shopping and eye washing of the promo girls. Having some time doing that updated all my information about the current latest technologies such as TV, Laptop and broadbands.



After we went to PWTC to see KL Motorshow which cost us RM5.00 with student card, mine student card still valid hehehe. That day I bring a camera along so I was so busy taking photos and forget to see the spec of the cars. Haha. I uploaded to facebook since it's more easier, here is the link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=577033&id=551555074&l=e7d6cae830
