Eagle Stone?

Langkawi.


What comes to your mind when I mentioned Pulau langkawi?

Beautiful islands.. beach.. eagles.. chocolates.. kunda (haha).. cheap things?

Well, some of them might be true, but the last one is definitely wrong.
EVERYTHING is expensive now, I must say.
The point is, don’t ask me for souvenirs! Haha.

I went for a 3-days trip with my mum (rombongan) to the infamous famous Langkawi Island, perhaps, 1 month ago? Woot woot~

So now, it's time for Langkawi's history class! (since when do I enjoy history classes? :P)

Ehem3. *clearing throat*
Langkawi stands for Eagle (Lang=Helang) & Stone (Kawi=batu kottt). Haha. Bear in your mind that I always get poor grades when it comes to history.
And for the discovery of gamat (sea cucumber, timun laut :P) in Langkawi island.. here goes:

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there lived humble villagers in a small island. One day, a fisherman went fishing and caught tons of fish using his net. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he found a jelly-like creature attached onto his leg. He thought it was a leech, (a blood-sucker thingy) so he struck the jelly-like creature with his sword dagger parang knife into tiny pieces. (you're so mean uncle!) After a while, he was astonished to find that the tiny pieces of previously known jelly-like creature clumped together and became one piece again. (not a comic tho). The wounds on that creature were healed within a split second! (ok, a bit exaggeration here) So that's how they discover the useful gamat - a medicinal remedies derived from several species of the Holothuroidea family. (wikipedia, 2010)

Enough with the background of Langkawi.


As usual, we went sight seeing, shopping blah blah blah the same must-do's for visitors.
But some places there are quite cool, as in fun to go to.


First off, Galeria Perdana! A place where the collection of gifts and awards given to Tun Dr. Mahathir are accumulated displayed. Since I paid RM2 for the camera permission, it is a MUST to take some pictures. :D


The interior design.



Ouh no, Dr. M is staring at me! What should I do?? oh, ok SMILE :)

Gua Kelawar a.k.a. The Batman Cave

Tempat ternak2 ikan (what do u call tis place?)

Very tame stingrays.. no worries, they don't have any teeth.


Barracuda, one of the fastest fish in the world! (and long too)



A tour around little islands~
