Love the vied from here out to the ocean surrounded by the mountain, 
there's no wave here though
and there were many yatch "park" here

Photobucket

this is one of the cafe's outdoor
it looks pretty dead though, because the rain just stopped not long 

Photobucket


This time, we came with promo of FREE FLOW OF BEER!
from 12pm to 12am

This is how the day view looks

while they enjoying their beer session there
i went for a foot spa n massage

the time i got back is already night before dinner

and this is the night view ^^
romantic and lovely doesn't it?

Photobucket


So, we went for dinner nearby with our rented car

Photobucket

they came here few times before and they always said that the fried sotong here are great



so i tried, but they told me this time wasnt as tasty as they last ate

Photobucket

but at least the tom yam i order was pretty nice ^^


Next morning, we went to eat at one of the chinese restaurant
they happened to sell the tickets for 
Underwater World
and 
Langkawi Cable Car ride
for a cheaper price
nice~


so we hit the Underwater World



First would be the reptile section
(just to let u know, tht not all of the animals was pictured it down)

Photobucket


i think this was one of the best pic taken with my dearie's camera
of the animals (reptile i mean)

Photobucket


Rocks? no...
Turtle
Photobucket



and now i knew that this was called Reef Shark

Photobucket



and the most ugliest and gruesome animal
Photobucket

Eel
luckily i didnt happen to see this during my snorkeling session at Redang






and this is what my dear's friends all always mentioned "Loong Dan"
its really really huge and super duper HEAVY!

Photobucket


you know, 
I keep calling this a pretty fish
as it looks like it put on some make up... especially with the red lip
sexy eh?
XOXO

Photobucket

Im sure many encounter this jelly-fish as well during the snorkeling at times
usually appears by the seashore
its called "Upside down Jellyfish"
and yes, once again im aint kidding!


Photobucket




glowing, nice isnt it?

Photobucket


Photobucket





Photobucket

Photobucket


Photobucket


after the UnderWater World
we actually went to check out the Gamat production
we did some research before we came to Langkawi
and they said gamat  ointment/lotion was made of Golden Sea Cucumber
and it usually cures skin problems, scars and minor injuries

wasnt allowed to take picture
so there's no picture of the place
and this was bought from there
it sounds like a MUST BUY from there
everywhere is selling it!

Photobucket

as we left, we came across Langkawi Look-Out point
which wasnt really fascintaing
as the first thing that was right in front of our view was.....
Airport?


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket

But anyhow, we still took a great picture there

Photobucket


Ming Chien and Ling san were afraid of  heights and cable car respectively
so we got no choice but to send them back to rest and went there alone

during our journey to the cable car
there was an unexpected roadblock
@.@??

and yup, finally im going up
and no kidding!
this was really really scary
it was really high!!!!
me and my dear was not afraid of height, but this time we surrendered
because it was really scary
was so nervous..
and my dear keep calm me down (but he was actually afraid himself too)
lols, thanks dear <3 muaxx



Photobucket


Photobucket

unfortunately, the well-known skybridge was closed for maintenance
T.T
so we missed the opportunity to go there.
well, hopefully there's next time


Photobucket


I gotta say I love the view up here!
and its cooling!!! or maybe abit too cold
because it was after windy and cloudy the whole day and it was after rain as well


But I love the view from up here

Photobucket





Photobucket
Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


and we stayed there pretty long as it was really nice place to chill, but not too long as they are about to close

and so, back down
it was actually located in the Oriental Village
nothing much to walk either as it is about to close
but we do went to buy some souvenirs and some printed tops too ^^
Photobucket

we spotted the ducks
so we went to find the ducks... there's actually fish feeding.

Photobucket

but ended up duck feeding with fish food

this was a prank for the duck to come nearer

Photobucket


Photobucket




and this is what happen when u really have food in ur hands

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

I thought it was gonna be painful when they gonna bite ur hands
but its was fine.. and somehow...... Fun!





Dinner time!

Photobucket


Photobucket

wanted to get sunset view seats
but the waitress recommended not too as it was rainy season 
plus there will be lotsa mosquitoes around, 
unless we had applied mosquitoes repellent cream/spray
so we decided to sit inside
since it's cloudy the whole day
so I doubt we can get the to see the sunset tonight

Photobucket


Photobucket

sit like Japanese

Eat like Japanese! ^^


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket

OOSHI~
its UBER DELICIOUS!

especially this
Miso....... sth...
its Mackerel fish, but trust me, its tastiest ever!
best recommended to take it with rice

Photobucket








The last day!
before we check out from hotel
we had a morning ride for Island Hopping ^^


which are the three places below
1. Pulau Dayang Bunting --> Tasik Dayang Bunting
correction
2. Eagle Feeding
3. Pulau Beras Basah



Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket




This was the outside view of the Tasik Dayang Bunting
and so we thought that this was the lake???
but Ocean??
and we also thought that because of the look of it
its like a pregnant lady


Photobucket


Photobucket


But we were wrong


Photobucket





Now this is Tasik Dayang Bunting (Pregnant Lady Lake) 
a.k.a fresh water lake

Photobucket


Photobucket

it was beautiful there

Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket



The history was

Photobucket




it was use to be an empty hollow cave but the weight from above could not be supported
and fell
and it became a great hole
and slowly the water was raised due to the pourngs
and this is how it became a lake






Next stop


Eagle feeding
and I didnt expect to be this much @.@

Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket

finally see  real eagles flying freely infront of my eyes

Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket



The last
Pulau Beras Basah
and the sea water was really clear...
as clear as we saw it in redang


Photobucket



Photobucket


Photobucket

let the pictures show u

Photobucket


Photobucket



Photobucket

So this were the stuff we bought from langkawi
and of course not to left out my dear's bunch of chocolates and the alcohol (Malibu)
which i did not picture it down
Photobucket

3 days was not enough^^
