5S2 Class Trip: Langkawi/Penang 6D4N

This was truly the last time 36 of my classmates and I could be together... I can't say it was totally worth the money but it was definitely fun... Most importantly, I got to know some of my classmates beneath the surface and they have definitely changed my perspective towards them...

Day 1 & 2: 15th and 16th Dec

Departed from Klang at 9.30 pm, had the tour guide telling us his tragic love story that (hopefully) is 100% true but sounds extremely Korean drama-ish, but i digress. So we reached the jetty by 6am, reached Langkawi by 8am.

~*Cheryl and I goofing out on the "midnight bus"..:P *~

Went to a couple of places like Underwater World Langkawi, Dataran Lang, etc... Pictures say a thousand words, right? so these will do the trick...

Day 3: 17th Dec, Mon

Island hopping we go! Unfortunately weather was kinda cloudy so we only went to Pulau Dayang Bunting... No pics for this cause I was scared that my my camera would be water-logged...

Day 4: 18th Dec, Tue

This was our free day so all of us basically rented a couple of vans to get to Pantai Cenang in Langkawi... Stunning view! 1st time I saw sunset on the beach! Went banana boating too! RM 15 per person! Wanted to go parasailing but it was RM70... According to Tiffy it's RM 35 over at Thailand...

Day 5: 19th Dec, Wed

Off to Penang! Checked into our hotel around afternoon... Went Kek Lok Si Temple and Dharmikarama Burmese Temple...

After having dinner at Gurney Drive, 10 of us (5 guys 5 gals) took a "short" walk back to our hotel, Hotel Continental Penang...

Oh wait! Before our "short walk", we took a tour into G Hotel.. looks really high-end!

*~They really do have a big "g"!~*

Day 6: 20th Dec, Thur

Time to say goodbye... went to a couple more short trips in Penang, stopped in Ipoh Hot Springs... (too bad no pics... again...) but it was definitely hot enough to (hopefully) improve my blood circulation! Btw there's sorta like a book fair in Gurney Plaza right now with up to 70% discount... Bought a book recommended by Amelia Foong (Special Topics in Calamity Physics for 30% it's price!)

That's all! Off to Shanghai this Sunday! More stories to come...
