in the land of duty free rum

well the answer to the question is...


A FLYING MONKEY!!!!


hahaha... ok, thats just lame.

well here is the answer.

after finally being able to set foot on land after a super long voyage which took 2 super uber long hours, we walked around the jetty place because we had to wait for some friends who were going to join us from penang.

so we walked around and finally stumbled upon the infamous giant eagle which lives just 50 meters away from the jetty building in langkawi.

what did i do?


ok, i climbed the eagle...


yeah, so thats the answer to your question.

anyway, after getting a few shots with the giant eagle under the freaking hot sun, the four of us decided to head back to the cool of the jetty building.


we had to wait four hours for the penangites to arrive. so we walked, played taboo in coffee bean, went to the arcade and sat around allot. suddenly, i realised that i didn't have a pair of flip flops. the only foot wear i brought there was my really ugly yellow crocs.


i have no idea why i even wear them. maybe its because its the only slipper that i own.


so anyway, i made my way over to a shop in the jetty building, and decided to look for the cheapest pair of flip flops that i could find. guess what i found...


a freaking pair of chippo flip flops!

i mean what the hell! it was just what i was looking for, a pair of cheap flip flops which is so cheap that even the brand says that its cheap. but never the less this pair of flip flops do look good. well besides the fact that the printings tend to come out when you wear it. it was still good.

here is the bad part about this really cool pair of chippos. when i decided to put it on to go to the beach, i only took a really short 7 seconds for it to break....

i seriously kid you not. it was so cheap that it broke within less than 10 seconds. i mean what the hell?! if you want to make a slipper, at least make one that would last long enough for at least a one way trip to the beach.


ok, going a little off track there. now i'm going to confuse you guys with which part of the story we are at now. so anyway we are still at the jetty waiting for the penang char kuey teow eating people to arrive.


so yeah, when they finally arrived we got introduced, because they were all samantha's friends, and we had never met them before. there were about 8 of them i think, so that made our group swell to a whopping twelve people!

so after the introductions, we all trotted down to the car rental place and got 2 proton sagas. when i looked at the receipt that i got, it was so funny.

look at what it says at the bottom. the booze must be really cheap here huh...

anyway, we had lunch, bought our supply of freaking cheap booze and chocolates, then headed over to the hotel which was situated at the great chenang beach!

i was so relieved to finally be able to see the beach. finally the holiday began! as we were walking to our rooms, some fat malay lady told us to look up. so being the tourist that we are, wanting to see everything, we looked up.

want to know what we saw?

was it an aeroplane?
was it a helicopter?
was it a bird?
or was it superman flying in the sky nude?


well what we saw was the SUN!

but this was no ordinary sun, this sun had a ring around it.

whats better was it isn't some ordinary ring, it was a ring made out of rainbows!

still cant picture that in your mind? well here is what it looked like.

apparently its some really rare phenomenon which i could not be bothered to find out what its called.



so yeah, we all saw a huge ring around the sun. it was so huge, that it couldn't fit in my camera.


well this is where this entry is going to end. next up,

what did the gang do after they settled in?

more of that in the next entry.
