I am back, back to work. 🙁 Hoping for a longer holiday. *Greedy Look* It was a great holiday in Langkawi. Two things that are real cheap there, cigarettes and alcohol. Both of which I don’t take. Imagine beer selling at RM1.50 per can. Drink till you drop. Other than that, Penang has it. The only thing that I bought back from there that is worth the money and cannot find in Penang is imported chocolates. YUMMY!!
Talking about chocolates, you really have to be careful if it is real cheap. I saw a shop selling huge bar of imported chocolates, priced at 5 for RM5. Wow, I could just give my colleagues 1 bar each. Some has liquor in it. I took a look at the back and the expiry date was 07 Nov 2005. What a let down??!!
I was away from Internet, TVB series (no TV8 & NTV7), newspaper, normal housework and the list goes on.

My last trip to Langkawi was in year 2000, after married. Me & hubby enjoy the beer as there are real cheap, we really drink till drop!! Langkawi is the best duty free shopping center, becos its price is much much cheaper than airport duty free.
Your kids really enjoy the trip ya…but headache is the laundry after the trip…me feel the same too..!
So shiok the trip! sob sob…when is my trip?!
Emily so “guai” can let the parent enjoyed a peaceful mealtime.

Jazzmint: Emily not as tall as Tim.
Egghead: 😛
Jess: Yeap, cars also no tax!
Jefferene: Hehehe, just that I have no time to capture her manja-ness on camera. Donno why, she cannot sit in the car quietly, half way she will cry. At home, with the car seat, she is ok. Have to use food to keep her occupied.
Maria: Actually nothing much to do in Langkawi. 2 days can visit all the places, of coz with children, we have to do it in more days.
Sue: Underwater World have more species & bigger than Aquaria. I like the layout of Aquaria. I think the best I visited is still US Monterey Aquarium.
BabySmooches: Maybe I bum into some of your friends there. 😆 Not sure? But there were lots of foreigners.
