Langkawi !!!

Assalamualaikum.. Wow, it's been so long since I've updated my blog. Well, I was trying to focus to my PMR exam. It's over now (hooray!!!). Erm, actually I want to tell you about my trip to Langkawi. It's a trip for PMR students only with the cooperation of Keretaapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB). Me and most of my close friends joined the trip. We went there by train, bus(es) and ferry. The trip took place from 16th-20th October, right after the end of PMR exam. On the 16th, at about 6.45pm, we gathered at KL Sentral. Most of us went there by the comuter except me and 6 others. The train head off to Arau at 9.00pm. Most of my friends were too excited as that was their first time to travel by train. There were two tour guides to guide us along the whole trip which are the people of KTMB. They were En. Anuar and En. Hilmi. Me and my friends called En. Hilmi as En. Wasim which means 'handsome' in arabic ;) Well, back to the story, most of my friends couldn't sleep well as it IS their first time. We all got up early at 5.00 am. After 7.30 something, all of us ate breakfast in bed, provided by KTMB. It was so much fun. After arrived at Arau, we took a bus and a ferry to go to Langkawi Island. All of us stay at a hotel named Nadia's Inn. There were 3 students for each room which is conjoined with another room. Me and my 6 friends took two rooms which were conjoined with each other. That makes it, 7 people in two rooms. After getting enough rest, we went to Pantai Cenang. There, we played 'bola beracun' and had a great swim. Some of us including Ustazah Norazura and Cikgu Effendy took a ride on a banana boat. At night, En. Anuar and En. Wasim took us to the shops near our hotel. We didn't buy anything but 'maggie' and junk foods as we are going to shop at Pekan Kuah which is much, much cheaper. The best thing is, Cikgu Effendy treat each one of us Big Apple donuts. The shop was closed right after Cikgu Effendy bought all the donuts there ;)

The next day, we took a ride on a bus with a tour guide, Mr. Lim. He is so friendly and we learnt a lot from him.. We went to Gedung Batik Jawa, Kilang Gamat, Beras Terbakar and Makam Mahsuri. At Makam Mahsuri, we had a competition 'Ekspedisi Menjejaki Mahsuri" which was prepared by me and Atifa. It was kind of chaotic as the information that me and Atifa got from the internet didn't match the information at the museum. But, it turned out to be just fine. After that, we went to Galeri Mahathir and Idaman Suri, the right place to shop for plates, dishes and all that. I got to admit, the teachers shop much, much more than the students ;) Next, we visit Haji Ismail Group store at Pekan Kuah. It was like chocolate heaven there. There were bunch of chocolates there sold at a low price. After spending hours there, we went to Dataran Lang and went home. At night, me, Atifa and Ustazah Norazura went shopping for the winners of the competition at Makam Mahsuri. It took like forever to find the right gifts for them. After that, me and my 'room mates' throw a small party. We just ate maggie and rocky(s).

On the last day, we went to Laman Padi BY FOOT. It was very tiring. After that, we rushed to our hotel and packed our stuff. At 12.00 noon, we checked out of the hotel. And then, we took a ferry and another bus to Arau. It was a very exhausting and tiring ride as we have to follow the schedule. We arrived VERY early at the train station. After a very long wait, the train finally arrived. The experience of getting on the train was the best adventure of the trip. Okay, the train stop quite far from the platform. So, all of us had to go through slippery and rocky path to get to the train. To make it worse, the door is too high. We had to throw our bag(s) and push ourselves up into the train. Afraid of not being able to get into the train on time and left there, all of us rushed ourselves. It was very, very chaotic. After all of us settled down at our 'bunk', En. Wasim told us that actually, the train won't get off until all of the passengers safely get on the train. We felt pretty dumb at first, but, yeah.. we had a great laugh ;) That night, we had nasi tomato for dinner in bed.. again, prepared by KTMB. The biggest joke that night is Zafri. At first, I saw him and Aizad wearing 'kain sarong'. Well, I didn't think it's weird as they want to perform solat. (to be honest, it's a little bit weird.. but I admire their spirit) I didn't know why, but, he didn't take off that 'sarong', wear it all night, and freely went back and forth along the 'koc'. Yeah, there's a picture of him, but I'll show you later. Well, we arrived at KL Sentral at about 5.45am. The trip ended and all of us said goodbye to En. Anuar and En. Wasim. In conclusion, we had a very, very enjoyable and memorable trip. This thanks to Ustazah Norazura, Cik @ Auntie Yatie, Cikgu Jakiah, Cikgu Norriah, Cikgu Effendy, Mr. Lim, En. Ibrahim (the bus driver), En. Hilmi 'Wasim' ;) and most importantly En. Anuar. This trip won't be as much fun without his well-planned planning.
Well, that's all for today...
I hope you enjoy my post..
Assalamualaikum ;)
