langkawi island 15th june 07 - 17th june 07

alhamdullillah, with the extra that i received, i get to bring my parents and joelis for a holiday in langkawi.. and accommodation sponsored by mug dude :P we stayed at the holiday villa resort. thanks to mug dude that we get to use the government rate which is much cheaper than the published rate. joelis have been very excited about the trip. and joey especially, has been asking me almost daily, when we are going for the trip... :) 

15th june 2007: lisa got up as early as 600am! woke joey up at 630am, showered... they took their breakfast.. our cab arrived at 745am. took the 1020am flight to langkawi via air asia. we were lucky that we got the new plane.. :D hehehe both lisa and joey wanted the window seat.. arrived in langkawi. called my sister [mug dude] who has been in langkawi since wednesday for a conference. she wanted to pick us up at the airport, but i told her that it'll be easier if we take a cab to the hotel. it cost us only rm16.. so, okay lah... only 1 room was ready since we arrived before 200pm. put all our stuff in my parents' room. my sister and i walked to the opposite of the hotel, rented a toyota avanza.. :D drove to kuah town for shopping. bought 3 pairs of shorts... it was cheap okay!! i went crazy... bought 2 pairs each for joelis. lisa bought souvenirs for her teacher and friends, and as usual, joey will ask 'how come, she can and i cant?' hemmm... so, joey bought a pen for himself.. :D got back at the hotel at around 5 something in the evening.. changed into our swimming suits, walked by the beach.. beach is beautiful and clean. :) took a few pictures. :) later, went to the pool till around 730pm. received a pleasant surprise sms from PC..
