Yi Wei's family

Sep 5 (Friday), my family went to Langkawi island for a short trip. This was our first experience taking Fireflight local airline. We were scared during the flight landing on the way to Langkawi island as it was not smooth. But, we got an experience pilot on the way back to Penang.

Trade mark for Langkawi island - Eagle statute on the Jetty port, we should not miss it. We visited island's biggest mall -Fair mall which was newly built. We had Thai food lunch here and i bought liquor from the outlet.

Staying? We stayed at Langkasuka resort that was 10 minutes drive from the airport. It had a very big room contained 2 Queen size beds. There was a small Malay drum - "gong" located at the lobby of resort. The resort was located near to the beach. Yi Wei enjoyed play on the sand and searched seashell in the evening. He was too tired and slept after took bath. I stayed in the resort to accompany Yi Wei. Thean Siang and his mother went to the Malay restaurant near by airport's round-about. He ordered fried mee for me and this was cheap and tasted good.

On the second day, we visited Underwater World, Yi Wei told us to snap a photo for him in front of fountain.

We used MY card to buy the entrance ticket as fee was cheaper, RM28 per pax. Yi Wei was not yet age 3 so he got a free visit. He liked to watch penguin, seal shows, feed the fresh water fishes, marine corals and fishes, swan swimming etc. There was a free indoor cinema movie shown every hour. We received a 3D glass to watch the movie. We were disappointed as this was just a 15 minutes story about a life of fish lived in the sea. Yi Wei slept before the movie start so he missed the show.

In the afternoon, the sky was dark. After came out from Underwater World, we went to Port Harbour. Besides the port, there were few restaurants. We choose to have lunch at Chinese restaurant. I bought 2 packets of muffins from Petronas station's shop. Yi Wei finished 2mini muffins as i told him this was made by muffin man from his story book.:)

Rain slowly became heavy and we went back to hotel for a rest.

Early morning on the next day, the weather was good. Thean Siang drived us to Oriental Village which was a 15 minutes journey. Langkawi Cable Car station was located here and there was a theme shopping centre housed here.

The Base Station was located at the foot hill of the Manchincan mountain. We got 40% discount after shown the MY card to get an electronic pass card. This was a long queue as the cable car not function during raining time which it was on the past 2 days. Once got into cable car, we started snapshot or recorded movie from cellphone. We viewed the surrounding forest, the Telaga Tujuh(Seven Wells) waterfalls as well as the sea.

The journey from Base station to Middle Station covered 1700 meters in length and from Middle Station at an elevation of 650 meters above sea level. See! We took another cable car with 450 meters up to the Top Station.

Cool! The cold wind blow to our faces. The view from top hill was very clear. Now we were 710 meters above sea level. We had to climb up the staircase to reach the top. Unfortunately the next station was closed. This was a walking bridge from one hill to another and was under construction. We spend half an hour time to have 360 degree view. Then we took a cable car straight from Top to Base Station.

In Oriental Village, there was a mini animal farm. Tourists allowed to buy food and feed rabbits and deers. This was a lunch time and animals were hungry especially deer. They could smell the food you hold on the hands and they tried to go close to you. This scared Yi Wei. Thean Siang and mummy attracted deers to another area so Yi Wei had time and space to feed the rabbits.

This was fun and we loved to see how excited Yi Wei was. Mummy busy on record the movie so she could bring back the memory home. She was doing a great movie recording now compare to the previous day.

After taking lunch at the food court of the Oriental Village, we went to the park nearby. Yi Wei changed his plan not to sit on the Poney. This was the first time he looked at the real horse and this was not the same as what he thought. Daddy or mummy could be a soft fake horse to let him rid, this one was not simple.

Then we went to Black beach, Jetty Point, Kuah Town and almost round the Langkawi island. This was because Thean Siang fill in too much petrol at his rented Wira car and he would like to utilize it. After back to resort, we went to the beach again without wasting any time. We could see how happy Yi Wei was on the beach.

I am pleased he loved this trip so much, so do i. And, Yi Wei got his favourite Nike football on the last day we had dinner at Kuah town. He loves Nike.
