:: Lang Tengah [Day 2] ::

Day 2 continued with a more laid back itinerary ... slow at its own pace. We went for a round trip snokerling trip around Lang Tengah island in the morning and came back for lunch. The gurls then decided not to go to the Marine park this time as we've already been there during our previous trip. We were busy haggling for the cheapest price for our Lang Tengah t-shirts ... hahhaa .. should have take some shots of the whole scenario, the salesman was this very sissy malay guy ... he always gave this funny look when he was all confused and messed up ...

We asked soo many questions all at once ... "baju ni ade warna hitam tak?", "Putih ni cantik la, murah lagi la", "Pattern ni nak 5 hitam 1 merah 1 putih" and etc. The look on his face with his hairband ... LMAO! We were like practically ransacking his whole stall, calculating for him how much to charge us, pack into plastic bags by ourselves ... all as tho the shop was ours ... Good bargain ... good laugh!

While the rest of the gurls were fast asleep on that wonderful afternoon, AhWeiBest and I decided to walk along the white sandy beach and ta-da more pictures! :P The scenery there was really breathtaking ... I would just faint if someone who can play the saxaphone as well as Kenny G came and just played a few of his musical pieces ... *drools*

After the games and drinks, we then had 2 celebrations for the 2 'lovely' ladies below together with a cake specially ferried together with us all the way from the mainland ... :) Hope d both of u loved the gift ...

Wait for Day 3 for more group photos!!

:: Lang Tengah [Day 1] ::

What a tiring journey we had the entire morning ... left home at 5.15 am then reached LCCT, where the most uneventful thing happened and diverted to KLIA then to Merang Jetty, KT and finally Lang Tengah island. Albeit the horrendous journey we had in the morning ... Lang Tengah totally soothed our anger and it patched the holes in our pockets too! It is a trip worth going! Environment was nice and what more, a bunch of hilarious friends to enjoy the trip with. :)

Thank goodness we had a good tour agent, they won a few awards for the Best Tour Agent of the year in Malaysia. Check them out here. :) They actually took the effort to get us a birthday cake (coz we requested la) ... arranged transportation ... even brought us to a nice dinner place! They also have a place near their office for guests like us to wash up, rest and leave our luggages there. That's our tour bus below =)

Our first day there was packed with soo many activities that we barely had time to rest. We reached the island at about 1 pm and headed straight for lunch. At about 3pm comes the most interesting part ... SCUBA DIVING! We had an introduction class, where we were thought how to breathe with the diving mask, learn to put on the diving gears, learn how to equalize once we're down under and ta-da there we go diving with an instructor ... each of us had an instructor to guide us and help us with our gears ... it was just superb! The creatures were so colorful, so many species, so many corals, Nemos nemos and more Nemos ... some got to see baby sharks too!! There were just too many things that a pair of eyes could catch ...

Right after scuba diving, we went jungle trekking around the island ... it was really tiring but the scenery was really breathtaking as we reached to the top of the cliff ... it was just wonderful ... too bad, our camera died and the rest of the photos are with AhWeiBest ...

More pictures to come ... Laterz!

:: Airport Complaints ::

We had an extremely bad experience at the airport, we first met in Mcd's for breakfast and we then went to the luggage check-in counter but was stopped by this guard who had to open our box of food and was worried that the small little bottle of miserable kampai would explode in the aircraft ... fine fine ... we were then allowed to check-in our box of food and when we reached the check-in counter they said that they just closed it, we were like 2 minutes late only and they refused to let us in and if anyone of you have been to LCCT, u will know how near it is from the gate to the aircraft itself ... but they refused to let us in, we had to go through 3 annoying group of staffs, from the first-check in counter to the next to the manager.

And the most unacceptable plain dumb reason they gave is that our group of 12 is too big, letting 5 passengers in is ok but 12 is a big NO NO because, they have to rewrite a whole new document and they refused to do it for us! What kinda excuse is that, just because of their laziness, it cost the 12 of us few thousands ... this is simply ridiculous! Not only that, there was this particular staff at the counter, who was soo unhelpful and rude! We were asking him to get the Manager to talk to us, he refused and continued chewing his stinking chewing gum while ignoring our request. He was the same person who gave the stupid excuse of not letting the 12 of us in.

Not only that, we were not the only ones late, there was a family of 4 and 2 other individuals. So that is like 18 of us! The attitude thrown at us by the staffs were just horrible! No sense of customer satisfaction, not only that, they were RUDE! I guess, we do get what we pay for but that's not how it should be ... this kind of mentality are the destroyers of the nation, lazy workers, rude staffs, horrible horrible horrible!!!!

We had no choice but to accept the fact that we could never get through this people and get on the flight! Damn! I so freaking hate those people there! Horrible service! Ok, so we had to call MAS and book the next flight to Kuala Terengganu ... another RM183 gone just like that! We then had to travel all the way from LCCT to KLIA ... Thank God the bus trip there was only RM1.50. And yes we learnt our lesson to be there extremely early especially if we are in a biggg group.

Well, this was supposed to be an entry about Lang Tengah but I just had to let this out first :) Wait for the next post for Lang Tengah pictures!

:: What An Ending ::

After a whole month of football craze it has finally come to an end... but what an ending I must say ... though Italy won the World Cup, spotlight was all over the famous Zizou after headbutting the chest of the Italian player, Marco Materazzi in the 110th minute. But I'm glad Zidane still won the Golden Ball, at least something to end his career ... :)

And Fabio Cannavaro is so so so HOT!! My mum thinks that he is hot too!

Other random notes:

• Lang Tengah trip is in 3 days time! Can't wait!
• Next week will be something to look forward to ;)
• I just feel sooo relieved today
• In 2 weeks time, things will change ... for the better I hope
