The above ticker bar tells all. Yay! I’ll be in Langkawi in less than 2 weeks. I so needed to get away from the City and let my mind loose for a while. With 3 little devils in tow, it’s hard to plan for a holiday. We can’t go anywhere adventurous. The princess and prince who is 6 and 4 y/o prefer places where they can run loose. We have been to Genting Highland numerous times. Having to see them on the spinning saucer cup or jumbo ride over and over again really gonna make me puke. Wherelse the Baby Princess need to get a nap in between and her calls for milk!

Why do i choose Langkawi?

Firstly…

I managed to get a fair price on our budget carrier i.e. Air Asia for RM9.95 only (excluding taxes which cost more than the seat!!!). And since the kids have not gone on the plane before, I think it’s a good start for them especially my prince who is a automobile geek. I haven’t mentioned a word to him about the trip for I am very sure he will bug me every single day tho I’ve mentioned it to my princess and yesterday we had a little conversation about the flight.

Princess: Do they serve food in the cabin?
Queen : No!
Princess: But I saw Mr Beans’ and they served food.
Queen: Our flight cost us only Rm100, whereby Mr Bean’s cost him RM1000!!!

So my princess is a bit dissapointed about the real luxuries you can enjoy in a plane and I’ve found out she is a very good observant too (die la lidat!). I turned to the King and told him I am prepared to forked out RM5 for a small tube of Chips just to see the kids happy.

Secondly…

if not of the existance of Langkawi Underwater World, I would not have step into that island and I’ve read a lot of good review on their aquarium compared to KLCC Aquaria. I just have to go and witness myself on all the good things that I’ve heard. Plus, Langkawi Underwater has penguins!!! Aquaria don’t have. That win hands up for Langkawi, definitely!

Thirdly…

unlimited invitation from my friend (Raymond) who is a chef (to be precise ‘Executive Chef’!) in The Datai. Holy cow! I’ve just done a google search on their Hotel and the room rates for a nite in the deluxe room cost RM1,135.00!!! … and no, I’m not putting a nite there nor get a sponsorship from Raymond. Basically, I get to dine in their 5 star lounge and probably savour one or two dishes cook by the Chef (hmmm… dream on. lol) for free. Unfortunately, he have to leave the island on my 2nd day there which means I have to explore the island by myself. *ggrrrrr….

So much for such an important event my digi cam decided to give me a little hick-up last week. But, ah well, at least I have time to get it repair. Was thinking of getting a new cam but if I do that, I’ll have to cough out another RM1K. Talking about cam, I’ve sold my Sony DSC T7. Longggggggggg story. (actually I don’t like that cam at all). Mean while, I’m trying to brush up my photography skill here and hopefully will have a few nice shots (at least) to put up in the blog when I return. *keeping my finger cross*
