Family Adventure @ Langkawi - Birds Are Cute And So Do I

Langkawi Wildlife Park

It's was formerly known as Langkawi Bird Park until 2006.The entrance fee for an adult is RM12 (for Malaysian citizen) and RM6 for a child. 

Upon entering, you'll first stumble upon colourful parrots.

Silkies.
My dad called this chick as "Pong moh geh" meaning fluffy chicken. 
Fluffy butt is so fluffy "I'm sexy and I know it".

Personal opinion: RM15 per entry is kinda cheap. Visitors could walk freely inside the park, pick up the birds, have their photos taken and need not worry about will attack (even the eagles) because the birds already have their wings clipped and chained up in order to stop them from escaping (from what I've heard). 
If it's true, then... It's so cruel and indeed a cheap way to earn money. 
So sad.

I'm kinda lazy to write more since I want to make this as a photo blog...
And I think a photo speak a thousand words. 
So.. Please forgive me :D

Family Adventure @ Langkawi - Day of Sun, Sea and Sand

Langkawi is an island so for sure it's surrounded by stunning turquoise sea. It's sandy white beaches and bright green water has been attracting tourists for years. Shall we not see those beaches? Hell no!

1st station: Black Sand Beach

Black Sand Beach is just one of the other beach in Langkawi and it's nothing much to see except the black sand. Due to combination of certain minerals, the sand on this beach is black in colour.

It used to be darker (from the photos i saw on the Internet).
Nothing special . We spent less than 5 minutes on the beach

Feeling nostalgic?

Le me on da beach.


2nd station: Pulau Beras Basah 

We joined an island hopping tour (we purchased the package at the airport on the earlier day, RM30 per person) as it's said to be one of the must-do activity in Langkawi. So, we were thinking, why not? 

Once the boat started to speed, me and my mother (and the girl behind ) screamed like nobody! It was way scarier than a normal roller coaster! Maybe my body weight is too light la or what, I almost fell off the boat for a few times. Poor me, was sitting on the left side of the boat and the wind was god damn strong. 

Then something unexpected happened. The boat's engine broke down in the middle of the sea! F the driver! I thought I was really terrified enough until he told us "Boat sudah rosak, tak boleh jalan lagi". We were sort of terampung-ampung in the middle of the sea, waiting for other boats to come and rescue us. We prayed and prayed and prayed. Although we all had our life jackets on, we (dad, mom, me and brother) can't swim! NO NEXT TIME FOR ME! No more island hopping.

The jetty, where the nightmare started!

Was thinking: Phew, we're arriving soon. Mana tau they have 3 stopping point for island hopping T_T

Pulau Beras Basah or "Wet Rice Island" was the last stop and its also the prettiest one. This place is lovely! 
Look at the sea water and sandy white beaches!

Warm beaches, gentle breeze, crystal clear water, white sand and le cute  blogger.

Despite the "boat sudah rosak" and I have darker skin now, this place is totally worth paying a visit :)

Family Adventure @ Langkawi - Underwater World

On the 3rd days of CNY, I went to Pulau Langkawi with my family. Okay. I like traveling. I travel a lot :P
As soon as we reached Langkawi International Airport (35 mins from Penang), daddy rented a car, Mazda 2 with RM200 for 2 days. There is lots of car rental companies and travel agencies counter at the arrival hall.
*Remember to choose the legal one to save you from troubles*


                      Chiang chiang chiang chiang! Our greatest adventure has finally started! 

So once we got the car, we visited the Underwater World just located at somewhere nearby our hotel.

With RM28 entrance fees per person, we entered the Aquariam. There were some lizards displaying in the glass box at the entrance. 

 Lizards looking at each other affectionately...


It's me! Blocking the white swans -_- 


 Le parrot that knows how to speak "Arlooo".


 The seal "lying" on the water, so relaxing. 


 Feeding time!


 Rockhopper Penguin: "See me fly. I'm flying in the sky."


 Star fish. 


 Sting ray with his damn beh siok face :< 


So next time when you see a Reef Shark, dont be afraid!
If they come near you, they just want to investigate you but not eating you :)


Stone fish.




Smile! So cute <3


Real case > not so cute anymore :(






Pink jelly fish. 


I like to take photos so I spent about 1.5 hour inside this not-so-big Aquarium until my dad called and said "I'm starving, can you please come out now" lol
