Langkawi Revisited (Final Part)

Found the time to update this blog. So, still with the Langkawi story, on the last day, we visited Underwater World. Ohhh .. before that we went to Awana Porto Malai first since it's still too early to visit Underwater. Awana is one of my fav spot in Langkawi. It has a very nice view of the sea & the islands. The water is crystal clear and we saw some beautiful fish swimming. Such a heavenly sight!

After a while there, we headed to the Underwater World. Everybody got the gov rate for the entrance fee. Aiman was afraid of the big fishes (they're bigger than him). There's a 3D movie show every hour. It was very fascinating seeing all those deep sea creatures.

There's this corner where you can actually hold some starfish (I did), some small fish and some sea cucumber (bukan timun...tapi gamat). This beautiful creature is called the dragon what ahh ... (I have a mental block lah pulak). It's actually a type of fish.

Can you recognize this little Eskimo boy?

We still have much time before our flight back home so we headed to the Langkawi Shopping Fair Mall. Nothing much to tell here.

All in all I am satisfied with this trip. Have been wanting to go back to Langkawi for quite some time. Alhamdulillah .. everything went well and as planned. Glad to be able to bring along my parents (I know my mom have been pestering my dad to go to L'kawi - beli pinggan lah apa lagi). Hoping to go some other time. Nak shopping Corelle lagi.....

Reminders for those who planned to visit Langkawi (or never been there before).
1. Try to arrange your schedule out of the peak season. Peak season in Langkawi: School holiday (if possible a big no-no), LIMA (the maritime & aircraft exhibition) and Le Tour de Langkawi.
Reason is simple: those so-called entrepeneurs will surely 'ketuk' you 'kaw-kaw punya' during the peak season. We rented a Nissan Serena (7 seater) for only RM 80 per day. But during those peak season the price could skyrocket up to RM 250 per day. Same goes for other things e.g. meals etc.

2. Do not take too much clothing there as you'll tend to buy some shirts or stuff. So no point packing your luggage to the brim, yet you still shop for clothes there. One more thing you could use those extra space to stuff chocs, kain batiks, souvenirs and what not.

3. During packing back home, do not put the metal stuff that you've bought in the hand luggage (e.g. spoon, forks, senduk etc.). The Customs will make a fuss of it. So better stow those things in the cargo.

4. Do not forget your sunblock, sunscreen or what-so-ever esp. if you're going to the beach. For those with kids, you'll be dragged by them to the beach I tell you!
