As everyone knows, the World Cup Fever has arrived, and will take place in every football fanatics heart from June 9th - July 10th 2006..

The Game is being held in Germany, Europe, so the time difference is about 6 hours, I guess..

Meaning football fanatics have to stay up for the late night matches..

What will keep me up if I'm watching the games at home and has been helping me struggle with my late night hunger.??

Ramly Burger seller nearby my house, of course..I have been some what a regular customer for quite a while..

I always walk on feet to go to the stall..It's just about 3 minutes walk from my house..

There's one thing not quite good about this stall..It closes quite early, which is around 12 midnight..

It is situated right at the border cross junction of Taman Pertama - Taman Kobena..You know, the place where a mamak stall used to be very very famous, even before Steven's Corner exists, I think..

*The stall*

*Ordering my favourite Double Special*

Double burger slice in one burger, be it any choices from chicken, beef, or prawn..

*Sizzling hot*

*Nice chilli sauce, mayonnaise, and black pepper sauce while the burger slice still on the hot frying pan*

*My burger is done*

*Not quite good-looking*

This Double Special costs RM 3.50, be it with chicken or beef..

A normal Prawn Special would be RM 3.00 compared to Chicken / Beef Special - RM 2.50..

*It's definitely one of my all-time favourite food and supper*

*Add on a slice of cheese of my own..Haha*

A slice of Cheesedale cheese will make you feel like you are eating a Double Cheese Burger from McD..

But of course, my Double Special has an additional egg with it..

It's totally finger-licking good..

Day 2 - 6pm

After wandering around in Langkawi Parade, we went out to the shoplots at the town area..Trying to survey the prices for the goodies we are going to buy - chocolates and liquors..

Then, we came across this shop..

*The Chapalang Shop*

Chapalang, in Cantonese slightly means varieties..As 'Chap' = mixtures / campur-aduk, and 'Hampalang' = all sort of things / kesemua barang..

So, the combination result of 'Chap' + 'Hampalang' = Chapalang..

At about 6.30pm, we left the shops and headed to the jetty, the Dataran Lang, where the Mighty Lang is staying..

What else to do but cam-whore~~!! A pic says a thousand words..Enough said..

*Parked our car and walked to the square*

*The mighty Lang is just in the middle of the Dataran*

*Flying up high*

*Dataran Lang, launched by our former PM, Tun Dr Mahathir*

*Handsome looking Lang.?*

*I believe I can fly~*

*I'm gigantic*

*I'm holding the belittled Golden Lang~!*

*I think I caught the Lang as well~!!*

*When Yatz and Lang become 1..The Yatzlang~!! (pic courtesy of Lipau)*

*Hiew the conqueror, with the Mighty Lang as his "back-up"*

*The Lang likes my finger-massage*

*Whoa..Hikaru caught the Lang's wing*

*At last, before we left..I befriended with the Lang and now I have a Golden Lang as my pet ^^ (pic courtesy of Hikaru)*

At about 8pm, we left Dataran Lang and went to Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall..

I guess the place is something like Jaya Jusco at Taman Maluri, Cheras..

But it's getting late..Most of the stores were closing..

*The empty-looking Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall*

A car fair was being held there..

*Mitsubishi Lancer*

Guess how much this baby costs in duty-free zone Langkawi.?? Just about RM 56k~!!

Imagine if you were to buy a Proton in Langkawi..Dumbfucked, right.??

*Other colors on display*

*Very spacious, but very empty*

Our main reason to be there is to pay a visit to the F.O.S (Factory Outlet Store)..We bought some clothes, and got to spin the Wheel Of Fortune with the single receipt..

*Filling in the Wheel Of Fortune entry form*

*The Wheel Of Fortune~!*

*Spin spin spin..Pening lah wey*

We got a RM 10 cash voucher and I used it to buy a Adidas soccer socks..Hahaha..

At about 9pm, our stomach already started to play the drums and gongs..

In search of nice food, we came across this shop selling Bak Kut Teh..

*The Shark Fing Restoran.?? Shouldn't it be Restoran Shark Fing or Shark Fing Restaurant.??*

Shark Fing sells shark fins.?? I don't think so..

Bak Kut Teh or seafood.? BAK KUT TEH~!! Majority wins..

This Bak Kut Teh, costs RM 6 per pax only..When we got to know the price before deciding how many pax are we ordering, we were like, WTF~!! So cheap.??

I couldn't remember how many pax we ordered, I think we ordered a claypot for 4..

And the result.??

*Looks alot.?? NOT~!!*

And they put-in beefballs in it.?? Beef is not compatible with Bak Kut Teh at all..

Bak Kut Teh is about pork and nothing but pork..

No more Bak Kut Teh in Langkawi..Lesson learned..

---

REMINDER :-

As a matter of fact, if you ever visit Langkawi..Never ever eat your lunch or dinner in the town area..Unless if you are eating fast food like KLG, KFC, or McD..

Have your meal in the countryside such as Jalan Pantai Cenang..It's much tastier and reasonable, I suppose..

Check out this related entry that I wrote 3 months ago, again..Requested : Langkawi Trip Spoiler..

The restaurant that I talked about in the related entry is just situated opposite this Shark Fing Restoran (duh~)..

---

After the meal, everyone in a tired state, headed back to our resort to have a nice bath and fun of the night..

It was a long journey..About 20-30 minutes drive, in the dark without much street lights..

With my concentration on the driving, we reached the resort at about 10.30pm..

Rest, and took turns to have a bath..

It was about 12.30am when we were ready to play our lose-and-you-will-drink card games..

*The Alize - French vodka and cognac, with natural exotic fruits*

*The drink is blue in color*

*Slightly smaller than the 1.5L Sprite, of course*

*Card on your forehead*

We were playing "Guess Whose Card Smaller.?!?!*

If you haven't play it before..Here's the explanation..

First, every player get a trump card, and place it facing outward on your forehead..

In this way, you wouldn't know what your card is..And you could only see the cards on other players forehead..

Diamond Ace being the smallest card and Spade King being the biggest card..

Based on the cards that you see, you can choose to add the soft drink, or the liquor, or not adding anything into the glass, which eventually the loser will drink it all..

Let say if my card is number 2 and yours is number 3..As I can see, my opponent holds the card number 3..

Who would have guessed in that 54 cards, I'm holding a card which is smaller than number 3..

For sure, I'll add-in the liquor, thinking that I wouldn't lose to number 3..

And the opponent, sees my card number 2, for sure, too he/she will add-in liquor into the glass..

When finished adding, open the cards..Mine is smaller..Therefore the punishment, finish up the drink..

*Deral knows he's wrong for adding too much liquor, but in the end, he's the one finishing it..Hahaha*

Deral was the first one who surrendered..Hiew and Hikaru, too in half-sober state..

I'm still alive after just a few glasses, with uncountable red-marks on my body (perhaps they are rashes, but it's not itchy at all)..Lipau, the winner among us..

*Whole bottle neat, at about 3am*

*Lipau still stand, because she uses Brylcreem*

*Hiew the photographer, snapped his own pic in half-sober state..Hahaha*

After that, everyone got to sleep..

And that's the end of Part 4 and the end of Day 2..

Hopefully, I can finish the final installment of my Langkawi Trip Pentalogy as soon as possible..

The FIFA World Cup 2006 is just around the corner..

The official opening match will due to start on this coming Friday, 9th of June 2006, in Germany..

Everyone is talking aloud which are their favourite teams and all..

Most Malaysians will support the few great teams of all-times..Namely Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Italy, England, Holland, and Spain..

But the most.?? I have to say England, coz Malaysians are brought up with English Premier League thrills..Not much on other leagues in Europe..

So indirectly, they'll support England as if England is their home country..

As for me, I'm rather a rational football fanatic, as in having a realistic perspective in everything in football..

Well, you see, I supported the Charlton Athletics since 1999 and still am one of the very few supporters in Malaysia, or perhaps the only one, I guess.?

I too used to support the great teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle when I was in primary school..

Back then in the year of 1995/96, Arsenal was nothing but an Everton, if compared to the rankings now and then..

Anyway, now, I too support Arsenal because they played different style of football from any other teams in the EPL..

But of course, as I said, I'm rational and realistic..I do support Charlton but I know they won't be able to compete the champion's trophy..

Still, I support them because they are a great team..And I support Arsenal to vie for the champion's trophy..

Everyone who knows me well enough where football matters, you sure know I'm the kind of person who support the underdogs, rather than powerful teams..

Why am I talking bout leagues here.? Shit..Out of topic once again..

Let's get back to the World Cup..

Ok..The same thing applies..Rational and realistic..I'm a supporter of Sweden since World Cup 1994, and still am til now, with the greats of Henrik Larsson, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Fredi Ljungberg..

And not to forget our Asian roots..I'm an all-time Hidetoshi Nakata's fan since his appearance in the World Cup 1998..

Therefore, I'm also a fan of Japan, the country of the rising sun..

Again, I know Japan is up to the standard to vie for the World Champion title, but I wish them best of luck to go as far as they can, just like what South Korea did 4 years ago..

Probably Sweden could match the so-called prodigies in everywhere of the great teams in Europe and South America..

Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott could make a great impact in this coming World Cup..Unfortunately Wayne Rooney has a metatarsal injury or something, whatever..

Lionel Messi, regarded as the new Diego Maradona..Robinho, as the new Pele..Francesc Fabregas as the new whoever it is..

Duh..Whoever they are..What about Ronaldinho.?? Personally, I strongly agree that Ronaldinho is the best player of all-time being..

Yeah..You heard me..I do think he's better than the so-called legends of Pele, Johan Cruyff, Franz Beckenbauer, Michel Platini, and whoever the legends were, you name it..

Ronaldinho is the only player that plays beautiful football with his feet just for the sake of entertainment for the supporters..Enough said..

Ok..Perhaps i haven't watched the 'Legends' play before..But just by the skills, you'll know who is better now..

I didn't forget about Thierry Henry, Rafael van der Vaart, David Beckham (satisfied when I add him in the list.??), Michael Ballack, Jose Antonio Reyes, Francesco Totti, yada yada yada..

I know they are great players with excellent ability to read the games well..I know Brazillians are not the best..Perhaps they are one of the best..

Ruud van Nistelrooy is the best striker (duh~).?? What about Andriy Shevchenko.??

To be realistic, Ukraine will be hardly to compete for the trophy even if Shevchenko is a god or whatever organisme he is, he can't play alone..

But I'm pretty sure Shevchenko will be one of the great contenders for the Golden Boots..

Alright, perhaps Didier Drogba, Ronaldo, Adriano, Miroslav Klose, Thierry Henry, and umm, who else, Cristiano Ronaldo (again, satisfied.??), and few more stars will be vying for the Golden Boots as well..

Has anyone forgotten Serie A's topscorer, Luca Toni.?? Perhaps not much Malaysians know about it when they only indulged themselves with EPL..

But I don't think I want to see Peter Crouch dances on the pitch everytime he scores a goal..Meaning.? I don't want to see him score goals..Nono to 'The Crouch Dance'..

Favourites.?? I mean the favourite to win the title..It has to be Brazil, no doubt, although it's a bit of boring to see them lifting the trophy for the 6th time..

Dark horse.?? I would have to say Sweden..And perhaps and African country, Ivory Coast.?

Senegal and South Korea did it 4 years ago..Why not Sweden and Ivory Coast this time, right.?

Let's have a little prediction here..Who'll advance to the 2nd round of 16..

A - Germany, Poland..B - England, Sweden..C - Argentina, Ivory Coast..D - Mexico, Portugal..

E - Czech Republic, Italy..F - Brazil, Japan..G - France, Togo..H - Spain, Ukraine..

What's your say.??

I'm not bias..I'm not un-realistic..I'm not irrational..It's just my pick that I feel..Like Kennysia says "No say, just feel"..

Before I stopped my topic, there's something funny to look at..

On The Star's newspaper, Monday, 5th of June 2006 issue, StarBiz pullout section, page-12, talks about some CEOs passion for the World Cup..

I found one funny thing about some of the CEOs involved in the interviews, particularly Michael Lai, TM Net CEO..

He thinks Holland is the dark horse..WTF~?! Holland would absolutely be one of the unicorns to challenge for the trophy, although I didn't choose them to be in the 2nd round of 16..

And the CEO's fondest memory about watching a World Cup match.?? You wouldn't remembered any or believe it..

His fondest memory is watching the 1998 World Cup Final between France and Brazil..

The extraordinary thing is, he watched another 'version' of the game..Ya, you heard me..Another 'VERSION'.!!

He said, "France won based on penalty shoot-outs, after they had played extra time and still were at a draw..That was really heart-wrenching to see Brazil lose the Cup due to that"..

No wonder that was his fondest memory..He was watching his own game, I guess..A very different thing from my 'version'..

I 'thought' France won the game fair and square on 90-minutes full-time with the score 3-0..Hmm, I guess I need to revise my football knowledge and facts..

That's something for us to laugh about eh.. *grins*

Ok..Everyone who reads The Star newspaper knows about this OtakuZone on every Sunday's Variety Pullout section..

Generally, OtakuZone is a section for all anime and manga fans, and probably for the newbies to know more about anime and manga..

It's a great section to introduce what anime and manga is, to the society nowadays, as anime-fans are mushrooming everywhere in the world now, since the arrival of Naruto and Bleach..

Actually, I have been related myself to anime and manga long ago, since 1994, where Dragonball is the boom at that time being..

Other than animes and mangas from Japan, I too heavily indulged myself with local animated magazines, such as Ujang and Gila-Gila..

They are not any manga of great artworks like the Japs, but they are very funny, as in the presentation of its local jokes..

Anyway..In my time, during my primary school times and early secondary (1994-98), watching anime was like a childish, girlish, and sissy hobby or interest..

Perhaps it's only the point of view in my school, and not other places..

So I kept to myself with most of the mangas that I read and animes that I watched..Only a few shared the same interest as mine..

I'm so into animes and manga (well, not that fanatic actually) that I could only borrow from few of my friends who could afford to buy the animes in bulk, such as VCD..

Until the time when I finished my SPM, not seeing my 'supplier' anymore..So I was left out of the on-growing animes..

Worst still, I didn't subscribe ASTRO..So those animes that aired on the pay channel of AXN, I didn't get to watch them..

Although I didn't kept myself abreast with the animes, I still managed to download loads of MP3s on the animes' OST, more on Opening (OP) and Ending (ED) tracks (with the 56k connection capability)..

So, I kept myself updated with the new animes just by listening to their tracks, without watching any of it..

But hey, I still know some of the new animes that were growing that time..

Anyway, I'm out of my topic already..

Actually I wrote a comment to the OtakuZone, about a month ago, and it only appeared yesterday, the Sunday, 4th of June 2006 issue..

Here's the article if you didnt happened to buy The Star or noticed it (click on thumbnails to enlarge it)..

*Start from the bottom left*

*I'm from Selangor.?! =.= *

Ok..I gave my details to the so-called editor, Elizabeth Tai..I did wrote my address, as in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur..

I don't know why suddenly I'm from Selangor..

Anyway, thanks for publishing my cen..

At about 2.40am Sunday 'morning', I was driving alone on my way back home after sending Hikaru back home at Taman Connaught..

We played futsal with Wah Kei & Co at Sri Petaling Endah Parade's The Cage Futsal Centre at 9pm - 11pm..

Then off we went for supper at one of the mamak stalls nearby Sri Petaling The Store..

At about 2.20am, we left the place and headed back home..

I always opt for the Taman Midah - Loke Yew highway, rather than the Yew Lek - Jalan Kuari way if I were to pass-by Connaught on any night-outings..

Lots of midnight road-blocks along the way of Yew Lek - Jalan Kuari..

Although I didn't and wouldn't do any wrong doings, I don't want to bump into any of these cops alone at midnight and giving 'innocent' bribes..

When I reached the Taman Pertama, Cheras roundabout (the 1 at the Velodrome, Bandar Tun Razak if you didn't know), I saw the red-blue lights of a police car on the ooposite road..

I thought it was just another road-block and I'm not even passing through that way..

But just as I pass-by, I saw lots of people crowding that scene..I knew it must be a road accident..And it's a big one..

So I drove to the Taman Pertama KFC and headed straight at the Jalan Sehala, and stopped my car beside the shoplots and walked over to join the crowd..

As usual, the busybody me will take pics to talk about it in my very own Jenkin Yatz blog..Muahahah..

*That's the car..A Subaru WRX*

Crashed windscreen, fallen bumper, number plate smashed, flatten tyres, etc etc..

*The crowd is blocking my way*

*Trying to squeeze myself in*

*The car being pulled out by the tow truck*

*The crowd follow as it goes*

Had some chat with some fellow on-lookers and by-passers..No one really knew what was actual cause of the accident..

*The blue Subaru WRX*

*Wrecked bonet*

Airbag popped out from the dashboard, thus saved the driver and passengers, all chicks..

The driver, a guy around the age of 18-21 years old, came out unhurt..Not even a scratch on his head, clothes, or arm..What a lucky man..

I bet the car is one of the major factors that saved the passengers..

A Subaru WRX, saved 4 lives..If it was a Wira or Sang Kancil or Satria or Iswara, will kill 4 lives and few more injuries because the driver couldn't control the steering wheel..

*The tow truck does its job*

*The crowd is dispersing*

The driver and few of his friends, and some tow truck operators/agents quarrelled with each other because of the payment or something..

So I heard some of the conversations..

The driver was actually drunk driving..At the traffic light at the Shell petrol kiosk there, he was trying to avoid a lorry or something and bumped onto the roadside and a great rampage along the roadside..

I didn't dare to take a pic of the driver and Co, because they are so gangster-look alike to me..

I don't want to end up in hospital being beaten up by the injury-free driver..

And one could have guessed, yeah, they are all La-Las a.k.a Ah Bengs and Ah Lians..

All of them, or probably most of them, are Hokkien Lang (Hokkien people)..I don't understand a word from them when some Malays asked me what were they talking..Hahaha..

*The messy soil caused by the car*

*What's this.?? A metal road signboard pole being unearthed by the car rampage*

*Knocking straight into the billboard and landed at the sign "Gelumbang Jaya"*

I was there for nearly 1 hour..Hahaha..What a free man I am..

At about 3.45am, I got back to my car and drove back home and bathed..Then have a nice sleep..

Day 2

Saturday, our second day in Langkawi..We woke up at 11am and headed for our breakfast at Jalan Pantai Cenang..

A brand new day with a brand new plan..Thought of island hopping around the islands near-by..

The worst thing could happen is raining..Our island hopping plan was disrupted for a while..

So we thought of going to the Crocodile Farm at Jalan Datai, the largest crocodile farm in Malaysia..

First, we stopped at a Petronas kiosk to pump-in some petrol for our journey..

*Yacht everywhere*

Due to the heavy rain, short of sight of the road in front and couldn't really follow our maps..We got lost for a while..

*Long way journey*

We got past the junction to the Jalan Datai and got ourselves to Pantai Pasir Hitam (Black Sand Beach)..

Since we were already there and near to the Air Hangat (Hot Spring), we visited that place, and got ourselves soaked from head to toe when we got down of the car..

*The entrance*

*The decorative plants*

*Raining*

At the Hot Spring, we got to soak our feet in the nice hot water..I could felt the blood flowing all over my body..It's so refreshing..

*The whole look of it*

*The hot spring well*

*Don't step into the well/pond*

*Ya..Don't dip your feet into the hot spring well..It'll dirtied the well*

*Pour-in the hot-spring water into the bucket*

Then there's a stupid legend about the origin of the hot spring, the town's name, Kuah, and also the mountains there..

*The tomb of the Legend of Air Hangat*

I couldn't really remembered the story..Anyways, who cares bout the story..

When the rain had calmed down a little where it almost stopped, we thought we shall get to our destination, the Taman Buaya..

When I start the engine, it couldn't start..Something was wrong with the battery or something..

*Stupid Space Wagon*

Then I called the agent and asked for his help or something..Hiew tried playing with the sockets, then Hikaru started the engine..Broom brooom..Voila..Car fixed..

Headed back to the junction to Jalan Datai, where the Crocodile Farm is situated..

Successfully reached Jalan Datai and a long journey deep into the forest, until we reached Pantai Tengkorak (WTF~?!)..

*The entrance into the Pantai Tengkorak (The Skull Beach)..Mind you~*

*Here we are*

*The Skull Beach*

*All I can see is just rocks and stones*

Okay..We missed the Crocodile Farm once again..Stopped at the beach and had a brief walk..Asked for directions..Ventured again..

We did it.!! We missed the hidden entrance to the stupid Taman Buaya earlier..Parked the car, went to buy the ticket..

 

*Welcome to Taman Buaya Langkawi*

There's a funny thing about the ticket counter..There are 2 counters..One for foreign visitors, and one for Malaysian..They are on different price, of course..

Foreigner has to pay RM 15 for an adult ticket, and Malaysian who is a MyKad holder gets to buy the ticket for RM 10..I couldn't remember the price for children..The same system applies, though..

Then, we got to see abnormal reptiles when we got in..Ok..It's not really abnormal that they bite you up whenever they see any humans walking around..

I mean handicapped crocs and gators..Some of them lost one or two of their legs, and most of them were born without a tail to wag around..

At that point, you can just say to them, "Smack my bitch up", while pointing at your girlfriend's ass..

*Pop its head out*

*Can you see the 1 on the right.? No tail*

All around we went..The ponds, the performance cage, the bridge, everywhere..

*I guess there are at least 200 crocs and gators in this pond*

*The long bridge across this BIG pond*

*Don't play-play*

And I got to say many of the crocs are so big size that it might whack you to heaven and back to hell with just one strike with its tail..You know, crocs tail is so powerful..

*The circumference of its tail is about the size of my chest*

*One of the big ones*

*Performances by the trainers*

*Have a bite, bey-beh~*

*Conserved shark and crocs*

At about 4pm, off we went and headed to Kuah..Trying to get to a nearby beach or jetty for island hopping..But to no avail, rain stopped, rain again, stopped, and again, and stopped, and again..Repeat at least 500 times..

So our island hopping plan were 500 times again ruined..So we just headed to Kuah, the town area to have our tea-break meal..

On our way out taking the Air Hangat route, we stopped at the Pantai Pasir Hitam for a while..

*The Black Sand Beach (Pantai Pasir Hitam)*

*What a scenery*

*The beach*

*The sand is really black*

On our way going to town in the countryside, we stopped at the Bird Paradise..Well, not see to birds, but to buy liquor for our night..Hahaha..

*Langkawi Bird Paradise*

We couldn't afford any mistakes anymore..No liquor drinking in Langkawi.?? Hell no~!!

*Absolut Vodka - Vanilla and Mandarin*

*The mix-up liquor*

*Grantis.?*

*Sheridan's Coffee Layered Liqueur*

*Johnie Walker's Blue Label, Gold Label, Green Label, Black Label, and Red Label*

The bottles are placed according to their prices where Blue Label is the most expensive of them all..

*Johnie Walker Blue Label - RM 490 (that's before tax)*

*Our club's favourite, Chivas Reagal*

*Toblerones*

*The Alize..We bought the blue one..It's vodka and cognac with 20% alcohol*

Wandering around in our car, here and there..Finally, we decided to try out the Taiwanese KFC-style fast food restaurant, the KLG (Kuai Le Gee), a.k.a Happy Family Chicken at Langkawi Parade..

*KLG - Kuai Le Gee (straight translation as Happy Chicken)*

*The counter*

Well, the menu is very much similar to KFC's menu..Fried chickens, mashed potato, coleslaw, potato wedges, etc etc..

And the taste.?? Well, I do think the one whom started this business was trying to plagarise KFC..But it turned out to be an unsuccessful result..

*The chickens*

*The mashed potato*

*The Zens Palace..Actually a cyber-cafe in the Langkawi Parade*

Ok..I think that's all for my rushed entry..Got lots of things not mentioned in this entry..

It stops here before our dinner at about 5.30pm..

Try to post-up some vids on the crocs performances but something's wrong with my vid's webhost..

Gonna talk about it in the next entry, the Part 4 of my Langkawi Trip..

See ya around..

Here's where I left off in the previous entry..

Day 1 (Afternoon)

*The Top Station at Langkawi Cable Car*

*Going up the steep stairs from the Hanging Bridge..It's damn tiring*

 

*Going downhill by cable car from the Top Station*

After the Oriental Village and cable car, we headed to the Seven Wells Waterfall..

It's about 3-5 minutes drive from the Oriental Village to the Seven Wells..It's about 3pm when we reached the waterfall spot..

Just looking at the steep stairs, I could feel the difficulty in walking up the stairs, plus Hikaru's info about it coz he had visited it just merely 3 months ago..

Before we could start off our journey up the stairs, we bumped onto 2 Californian chicks..

While sitting in their Perodua Kancil, Hiew and I had a little chat with them..

---

Chicks : Are you guys trying to go up there.??

Guys (us) : Yeap..What's wrong with up there.??

Chicks : Well, it's a 30 minutes journey up there..And it's not really a waterfall..Just few small ponds everywhere..

Guys : What the HECK~?!?! 30 minutes up there.?? Are you kidding me.?!

Chicks : Hell no..30 minutes up and another 30 down..It's not worth it..

Guys : Really.?? Shit..By the way..Where are you girls from.??

Chicks : California..

Guys : Oh California.? That's great..How's your trip in Lang-Keh-Wee so far.??

Chicks : Oh..We are having a great time here..How bout you guys.??

Guys : We are from Kuee-Laa-Loom-Pour..It's our first day in Lang-Keh-Wee..

Chicks : Yea.? We have had been to Kuee-Laa-Loom-Pour before..It's a nice place..

---

So that's roughly what we talked abour that day..Hence, we headed up the stairs..

By the time we were only half-way up the stairs, we still have approximately 230 steps to go..

Total up, it has about 480 steps to get the mid-way of the waterfall..Which means that's the 'pond' area the Californians were talking about..

Hikaru, Hiew and I already tired to death at the 230 steps..Pushed ourselves to the limit and exceeded our limitations to reach our goal, the pond.!!

Left Deral and Lipau far behind, because they couldn't take it anymore when it's only about 100 steps, I think..Hahaha..

Want to get to the stream where the waterfall come from.?? It's more than 1000 steps up there..It's approximately equivalent to three Batu Caves..

Anyhow, we reached the destination of 480 steps with our lungs and knees badly damaged, and of course, suffocations..Woo Hoo~!!!

*The Seven Wells Waterfall (pic courtesy of Hikaru)*

The 'ponds' are everywhere, where they actually formed a stream..

The water is cool and crystal clear..With algae everywhere on the rocks, under the water..Thus made the surface of the rocks kinda slippery..

The rocks made a slide-like surface, where we can slide from top of a steep down to a lower level of pond..

About an hour later, we headed back down hill to where our car was parked..Then off we went off to venture around the place..

On our way out of the forest and snake-like road, we stopped at Pantai Kok..

It's just another polluted dirty beach like any other places in Malaysia..We had rojak and drinks, then off we went back to our living place, Awana Porto Malai Resort..

It was a tedious journey from Pantai Kok back to the Resort, because all we did was just follow the map and made few wrong directions..

It's about 5pm when we reached our room..After a hot shower and some nice rest, we went out for dinner at 8pm..Hahaha..Long rest huh..

After some surveys, we decided to have our dinner at Palm View Seafood Restaurant, Jalan Pantai Cenang..

*The Palm View Seafood Restaurant*

*We seated inside, air-conditioned*

But it was too cold inside..Everyone shivers and sneezed like there's no tomorrow..

So we switched table and sit outside..

*With lots of lightings hanging around outside*

The food was definitely nice, delicious and fulfilling..Costed us RM 20 per pax only..Not bad for crab and duck..

*The delicious dishes*

*Clockwise from top-left - Don't know what vegie, Fried Sotong, Roasted Duck, Hot Plate Japanese Tofu*

*The nice Fried Soft Shell Crab*

After we had eaten our dinner, that's about 9.30pm, we walked along the Jalan Pantai Cenang to see whether other restaurants have cheaper and nicer food..

But to no avail, all of the restaurants are about the same..Same menu, same price, same table clothes, etc etc..

The worst is, all shops selling liquor, such as the Underwater World and town area shops all closed at 8pm or so..

Thus, no drink-til-die night for us on the first night..What a waste..Thought of getting a bottle of Martel Cordon Blue for the first night..

Anyway..We still managed to get ourselves some small bottle of gin and vodka drinks..Just a mere 5% alcoholic drink..

*All Pelicans*

 

*L-R - Gin & Lemon, Tropical Fruit, and Ice Lemon Tea*

Then we planned to go to the in-house resort pub, called Ground Zero (I do believe it doesn't has any connection to the 9/11 tragedy)..

*Fun Pub.?? I don't think so*

Waited for about 2 hours for the peak-time at the resort lobby..

*Resting and busy with mobile games and SMS-es*

*Alright, it's my home..Hahaha*

Only did we know that the patrons are not our level of group..And the music.?? SUCKS-TO-THE-MAXXX~!!

Not any Benny Benassi wannabe pub or even a single of trance or techno..It plays stupid remix with A-Go-Go feeling within..Yuck..Not our cup of tea..

In the end..We ended up in bed quite early, coz nothing much to do other than finished up our little bottles in a few gulps..

*Our room*

*All ready to go to bed*

*Finishing the last gulp*

The end of Part 2, which is also the end of Day 1 of our Langkawi trip..

Get ready for more thrills on the Langkawi Trip [Part 3], Day 2..
