Langkawi - The end story

Today is Sunday, as planned- to stay home. Copy all my CD collection into my external HD and sell it away maybe to cash convertor. Hope to earn cash fom there rather than jus throw it away. At the same time update my facebook, hotmail and now my blog. Its been 1 week of fasting, can feel the heat of Hari Raya....can't wait....but now

The 4th day in Langkawi....

It was sunny day, thank god at least we can go to those places that we have planned.....

First is the Mountain Mat cincang then we head to Durian Perangin Waterfall. Thou its just a stop over, while my family is at the base, i ran up to see the waterfall. First stage is a smaller one....the second one is where you can really see the waterfall...but nothing really special...The water is not as cold as the one in Lombok....But around the area you can see all kind of plantation. Then we drove to Telaga Air Hangat ( Hot Water Fountain).

According to one legend, the spring is the result of a bitter quarrel. During the ensuing fracas, many items such as pots, plates and saucers were smashed, one of which was a pot of hot water, which brought forth the hot springs. Well, it seems that most of Langkawi's legends are centred around some form of violence. So, can it be that the hot temperament of the ancient people of Langkawi had even affected its geological make-up? Perhaps, this can be a basis for a plausible attempt to connect the colourful legends to the reality we see before us?

Dukong...... Sugarcane...... Banana..... Durian... Rambutan

But this is just a legend, all i care is that my whole family soaked our feet into the water. Don't worry they provided pail...so more hygein ...followed by a foot massage... Then suddenly........we received a phone call.......from Silk Air.... offering 4 of us to get the earlier flight (Malaysia Airline) for our depature day as the airline overbook of passenger....We agreed! Coz on top of flying with Malaysia Airline, we will be given S$150 per person as compensation. Wow.....for 4 person we gain s$600....just nice to cover our one hotel room....But it spoilt my plan to go ard the island alone.....and the banana boat with the kids.....

On the last day, i decided to go around Langkawi but just one place due to constraint of time. That will be Telaga 7 Waterfall. The name of this waterfall means ‘Seven Wells’, referring to a collection of seven intertwined natural pools fed by seven separate waterfalls in Mount Mat Cincang. Locals claim that fairies reside in the area but tourists are more likely to find the flora around the water more magically appealing. It is quite a challange to climb up...It is separate into two ...where you can climb down and reach to the waterfall or climb up to the 7 telaga. I really want to see the 7 telaga. I forced myself up and came across this place which i assumed to be 7 telaga. But i think its high tide so you can't really see much... Unsastify, i decided to climb a bit more....across the stream thru the jungle... came across this bridge...i saw a fallen tree blocked the way to the other side. As much want to see the peak, my guts feeling told me to returned back as 1st its time constraint- got flight to catch and 2ndly it seem strange....not sure how to say but the place look weird so i turn back....i wanna get soaked( haven't bath yet heheh)... so i head down to the waterfall.... after taking few photos i jumped in...there are few locals......When i was having fun....i tried to get to the top part but its too slippery for me...keep sliding down suddenly i felt itch.... it becoming more and more itchy.... as the local left i becoming hystrical...a lot of thing come across my mind...stay for another 5 min, i decided to leave as i'm alone....who going to sos me......and itched getting bearable...Got into the car and drove back...as the way back the itch starts to fade..... Thank god it nothing serious....according to my friend, 1) its a good thing i never climbed alone to the top as she told me that there are cases where ppl went missing (source local ppl) 2) the itched might be the cause of water flea.....

Just in time, i bath as the rest started to pack...My parents and my maid were leaving with me earlier while the rest will be shifting to one room as the rest of the room being checked one and leaving late night....

Well all i can say bout Langkawi, i can rate it to be a must go visit place. You can have relaxation (beach), activities (beach, waterfalls, shopping), history(makam mahsuri) and others(small island). very good package....must well planned so you can go all the places....We missed few activities...if my parent going back there...i will follow them.....

Best part is that i celebrated my birthday there 13/06/08
