West Malaysia Trip - Part 1: Penang & Pulau Langkawi

This trip consist of 8 people including shirly-LiMing-Michelle-Chee-HanPing(hp)-JangJung(db)-Siang(chee's bf)-and of cz ME ^_^v !
Hp and Db flight depart to KL was earlier 1 hour than us, so they wait for us at LCCT, keep 'loso' us that they were hungry and bored when we arrived ard 7pm+. We had decide to stay over night at LCCT airport because our flight to Penang is 7sth early in the next morning. We having our first dinner @ KLIA aiport-KFC by using bus cost us RM1.50/each person. After dinner, we have a walk at KLIA aiport and going back to LCCT airport again around11pm. To have a comfortable place to sit down and wait for the flight tomorrow, we ordered drinks and rest in starbucks. I'm lucky that i had bring my dai dee card and blanket in my hand carry bag, we spent our night with the card and i really have to admit that LCCT aiport so cold! Can't really have a good rest there because the aircon are freaki*g cold and I'm really felt so tired......

We rented a van at Penang cost us RM350 per day. We have no choice because we need transport to visit around at Penang. Chee's friends bring us walk around the city and some tourist 'must' visit places. Here are the Toy Museum that i never visit before. The museum have a lot of toy from the movie that we always watch in cinema.

P/s: Hotel Grand Continental @ Penang are strongly not recommend

We took ferry to Langkawi next day in the morning 8.30am. The ferry cost us RM105/each person(2 way). It is quite expensive but we still decide to go since we already booked and paid for our hotel. I bring over the car's sick medicine just in case we need it in emergency. Michelle so clever, she get the medicine from me and take it before the ferry start engine. I still told chee don't have to be so worry because I will take care of her if she vomit(she told me she might vomit and siang haven join us yet for that moment).
I NEVER expect that the weather started getting bad and bad...HEAVY RAIN drop down as a sudden, wind become strong and stronger, the boat started shaking and jumping.Ya, 'm not using the wrong word, is JUMPING! From tat time, i felt so dizzy and felt want to vomit..we are given one plastic bag by the boat's crew. I told chee that i felt so uncomfortable and ..........the next things was...i started vomiting non-stop..for nearly 2 hours 30 minutes. For that 2 hours 30 minutes, there is nothing i can think more, what's on my mind was-when the boat will arrive Langkawi? Still got how long i need to 'tahan'?...i can't talk can't take a look of how's chee and shirly's condition (both them sit with me)..I just vomit! we keep followed the boat jumping and suddenly the window on the boat was split open...and i can saw a crack there...the boat was support too much pressure from outside weather, the glass of the start to split...
Actually I'm not worry too much on that window but when we arrived Langkawi, I felt like myself was a dead body.. I vomit until I have nothing to vomit..and OUR 'present' from this 2 hours 30 minutes way to Langkawi was- I vomit 2 bags, db 2 bags, chee-shirly-hp 1 bag/each, michelle and LiMing-no bag, just feeling uncomfortable.
We had rented a car-Avanca RM70/per day, rented for 2 days+, so they charged us RM160(*cheap ^^v). Once we get the car, first things we need to do in a rush is-refill the fuel, the tank is nearly empty. We study and follow the map, found the fuel stations, go all the tourist visited places by our own, that's really a very good and enjoyable experienced for us. We had visited 3 island in Langkawi which includes eagle island, Tasik Dayang Bunting(Monkey) Island and another island is for swimming and snorkering.
