I guess i should at least update something on this blog. It’s been ages since ive been here. (As a threechinguz’s representative) Pardon us , dear followers, as all of us failed to update and review something for the past 4 months. We’ve been busy with work and all kind of adult stuffs. I wish i could say more than apology but whats done is done. Alright, lets get back to real stuff. We have been planning this trip for over 3 months. We picked Langkawi because Fatma never been there and last time ive been there was in 2003. I brought along one of of my best friends, Jibah in this trip. We met in USM and she can get along pretty much with my other best friends so i dont see any harm in bringing her in one of the best friend trip (thats what we called it, its a bit tackly but hey, dont judge). We spent about 300++ per person for 3 days 2 night in Langkawi. It’s pretty much affordable considering we are not effing rich.

We went there by ETS. From KL Sentral to Arau, it took us about 7 hours to finally arrive. According to Jibah, taking a ferry from Kuala Perlis is quicker than taking it from Kedah. Hence, why we choose the train in the first Place. The ticket price cost us each RM 86 per person. Well, I am not complaining because we cut 12 hours of driving if we decided driving there or going there by bus. Look at us, all happy. Honestly, we killed the time by talking, eating, talking and taking a picture. Brace yourself for a lot of photos and we are addicted to having a selfie or wefie everywhere. Selfie and Wefie is a must for this trip.
We arrived at Arau around 9.00pm. No, we are not going to Langkawi right away. As we are all tired, we planned to spend the night at Megastar Vacation Inn. We’ve got 1 room with 4 beds with affordable price. It was comfy and clean making its hard to believe that for RM 90.00 per night, we can get such room. I forgot to mention that staff there are nice and friendly too. Its hard to beat our expectation on the Hotel that we are going to stay later in Langkawi.

We could go to Langkawi by flight but seeing that all of us are feeling a little bit adventurous, we went to the Island by Ferry. Ferry service charged each of us RM 18. I didnt have time to compare price with other ferry lines but i choose Ferry Line Ventures because they have online ticketing service. It makes my work easier as self proclaimed trip planner. Haha. We felt nauseous a little bit when ferry bumped with a big wave but thats just it. Nobody puke. Its a little bit dizzy but all is good in the end. We arrived at Langkawi after 1 hour in a ferry.
We arrived at Langkawi on time. Boy, we went to Langkawi at the wrong time. It is packed with people. I know that i shouldnt expect the island to be empty but man, even the toilet formed a long queue. Its like people are seeking protection from Zombie attack at Langkawi. I blame me for picking the wrong date and i blame all of us that we are being bloody optimistic its not going to be filled with a massive amount of people. What can i expect, we’ve got 2 public holidays plus weekend, of course its a full house. We faced a little bit difficulty with Car Rental Service. We have to wait for 2 hours for the car to arrive. Thank God, it arrived. My mind scared me off by imagining that we have been deceived or scammed. Turned out on that day, those who came to Langkawi without any plan, they couldnt get any car rental. Booking and paying deposit early wont kill you, i guess. We rented Viva Produa from ANON car rental service for the price of RM 180 for 3 days. We slept at Joy Motel near Pekan Kuah. It was not in a good condition comparing to what we have at Arau but we are not going to spend our time in a Motel. Weve got long list locations and places that we’re going to visit. As long it got 4 beds and the toilet is working, we are okay with it. Joy Motel charged us RM 110 per night for family room.

Again, we took a ferry to Arau by Ferry. I’m telling you that i’m not going anywhere on Public Holidays. It made me realize how overpopulated our earth is.
We made a brief visit at around Arau and Jibah’s house before we went back to KL.
The 12 hours journey began. I cant avoid this trip because all ETS train ticket are SOLD OUT. I managed to get only this even though i turned up early at ticket counter. T___T However, it cost us RM 41 only per person. Its cheaper though.
