Our trip to Langkawi..Day 1

welcome back to office.. i'm having flu.. Didnt stop sneezing after taking Haariz to the hotel's pool.. okay. I'm sure ramai nak tau.. was is a disaster or .. was it fun to have Haariz along a very hectic holiday.

12 May 2006 - Day 1
9pm, we left home.. drove to Jln Tun Razak. Parked our car in the basement.. & waited for the bus. Bawak Haariz lawatan sambil belajar to my office. Then waited for the bus.. which finally came at almost 10.30pm.
put in our luggage.. & find our seats.. We were told that supposely we should be getting a 2+1 seat coach. But only 2 of the buses yg 2+1. Ours, 2+2. So, it was quite sempit to lalu lalang.

What to do..11.30pm .. bus still not moving, we need to wait for someone who left something kat rumah. waited & waited untill about 12.15am. Finally, we at almost 12.30am.. we left for Langkawi.
At first, Haariz quite jakun la tgk bus. but after such a long wait, dia pon makin letih .. (picca on the left, Haariz tgh main 'kamera' mama baru belikan dlm bas) & fall asleep before masuk highway pon.. the seat was so uncomfortable with Haariz occupying both seats. Hubby kat different seat. Mula2 tu dia tido duduk (nope, i did not bring the child seat along sbb we all kena tukar2 bus). Then kesian tgk dia tak selesa, i made him baring.. which then.. mama dia yg tak dapat duduk. Afraid to leave him alone, takut bus sudden break.. dia boleh terjatuh.

Sedar tak sedar .. tgk2 jam, dah almost 6am. hubby ajak duduk next to him, tapi takut la Haariz terjatuh. di pendek kan cerita, we finally sampai Jetty at around 7.30am. Sampai2 .. the tour guide asked us to take all our things & wait near the jetty.. Semua org pon ikut la arahan. then once everyone dah turun, the bus left us.. & we dont know what to do. (we all mmg bengang ngan travel agent yg buat arrangements ni). One by one org hilang.. rupanya pegi breakfast. Haariz was still asleep masa we all turun from the bus. But bila dah bising2 .. dia tersedar ..
He was sooooo excited to see BOATs. "Maaa, boat" .. "bye, bye Boat" (picca on the right, muka baru bangun tido Haariz..)

Hubby was afraid to go anywhere, takut nanti org carik we all takde pulak. after a few minutes, baru la tour guide annouce, meet back at the jetty at around 8.30am. Lepas tu baaaaaru la we all carik breakfast.

8.30am. The other bus (bus no.4) from Johor (another office in Johor) tak sampai2 lagi. Our ferry will leave at 9.30am. We have no option but to leave those from Johor & they will take the 10.30am ferry.



from the jetty to Langkawi, was about 1hr ++ (cant really remember). We got a 'VIP' seat...ehhehe. since semua fron seat mmg company dah book untuk we all. So bilik VIP pon kitorang sapu sekali. non of us mabuk.. Haariz was so excited. kejap2 ..." maa ..boat" .. kekadang tu saje je tanya "ada Nemo tak??" .. terus dia tunjuk "maaa.. Nemo!" ..ehehehh. Dalam boat tu .. ramai la tukang melayan dia.. 'kakak2' yg boleh di kategori kan aunty.. & anak2 staff lain.. so dpt la mama & papa rehat kejap.



10.30, sampai la we all kat Langkawi.. at last. Haariz was still in a very good behavior at this point. takde melompat2 ke belari sana sini ke .. 11.00am, we board another bus, which took us to Dataran Helang. At first, the arrangement was to check-in the hotel. but since we need to check in together with those from Johor, so the bus took us to Dataran Helang first.

Dengan muka bangun tido & tak mandi.. we went la. Nothing much, except for the very big Helang. Haariz was still tired at this point of time. Yela, tak mandi.. tak fresh la dia.. jalan pon taknak.. suruh mama/papa dukung. I was so tired, tak tercakap.. ye la, tidor pon tak cukup..



it was almost noon, next we went for lunch! Wow.. the food was yummy!!! .. sbb lapar ke .. or memang sedap, tak tau la.. haaa ..by this time, haariz dah start tak boleh duk diam. Like always, bila time makan, dia memang tak suka duk diam. & dont really want to eat. Mama & papa sempat la makan kejap.. then, papa terus dukung & bawak dia duk luar kedai.. takut kacau org lain makan.. after lunch, dah almost waktu zohor.

Its Friday lak tu.. so, the bus will drop para ibu & kaum Hawa sekalian kat Galeri Perdana.. & the para Bapa & kaum adam sekalian .. pegi menunaikan solat Jumaat.. Baru je bus gerak ke Galeri Perdana, Haariz lak .. dah tertido.. so papa pegi solat Jumaat, mama terpaksa tunggu dlm bas .. jaga haariz. Ingatkan takde chan la nak tengok Galeri perdana.. rupa nye .. sempat gih tgk kejap. After papa solat jumaat, the bus pegi balik to pick up org2 lain.. & tgk2 org tak abis round lagi. So papa waited in the bus with Haariz .. & mama round Galeri Perdana.. (sorry takde gamba.. sbb nak cepat, gambar Haariz tido ada la.. :).

After that, baru la we all dpt check in ke Hotel. Legaaaa nyeee dapat mandi. Haariz pon dah bangun dah masa ni. few hours dia dpt tido.. walaupon dalam bas tu bising, dia tido nyenyak habis!

4.00pm. Meet up at the lobby to go to the Underwater world. Nasib baik la haariz dah cukup tido.. so our trip to underwater world was fun! First time Haariz dpt tengok penguins, swan, flamingo... & lots of fishes..

We saw;

Nemo, Gill,& Dory

lepas habis round Underwater World, we all have dinner at the restaurant just next to it, called Kampung Siam Restaurant. Maybe because we all dah letih sangat.. the food was not as good as what we had for lunch earlier..

by 10.30pm, the bus pick us up & brought us back to the hotel ..
