Jom Layan Langkawi Day 3 (21 Nov)

It was raining and freezing cold. Hubby went out to get our breakfast while I sorted out kids’ clothes followed by a ‘briefing’ to bibik. Both of us planned to kirai duit in the morning and jelajah Langkawi for the rest of the day. We left the resort around 9.30am. I’ve no idea at all of the whereabouts of 1daman Suri, after few rounds in Kuah for price survey, we called someone and I was not surprise why I can’t find it. It’s waayy out of pekan. And to make it sweeter…it opens at 3pm on Friday. Yeah great, it's only 10.00 damn AM.

Since we’re oredi there, might as well get our ferry ticket. So there I was standing in the line only to be told ‘Tiket esok jual lepas pukul 11’. Seems like our ‘lucky day’ hehe

So..no fret, let’s do the jelajah 1st then. Called the house to get them ready. Picked them up and decided that we should visit the Beras Terbakar 1st followed by Makam Mahsuri. Cable car was closed for the rest of monsoon season so we skipped that route, so Telaga 7 and Pasir Hitam were automatically off the list.

I’ve never been to that site. When we parked, we saw that pintu gerbang, ok kids let’s go!! Only to be greeted by sepinggan beras in a box and 15 x 10ft of gated area in someone’s lawn. Erkk..tu je ke ? So we spent 15min to take obligatory piccas and the next 60min to bargain for souvenirs at the stalls hahaha so much hyped for the educational trip. Tips : Stuffs here is much2 cheaper than other places, provided that you know how to bargain (like me muahahaha)

We then zoomed to Makam Mahsuri, hubby dropped us at the entrance, he needed to rush for Friday prayers at the nearby mosque. I came here in 1995, it’s totally different now. They expanded and now it’s known as K0ta Mahsuri. Adult RM5, kids over 7yo RM2.50. I asked the children to read all the info plaques on display to better understand the whole Mahsuri saga (padahal, aku ingat2 lupa, cover line itu perlu…).

Unsangkarable, they got hooked and followed the trail and story. So I let them explore all the places and even paid for the guided tour in diorama. Aku tabik spring awek yg b’cerita ni. I should’ve taped her. Ayat dia perggh…memang tanpa segan silu klasik and loghat dia mmm I loike..

Punyala lama nk tggu geng2 kat telaga tu blah, siap mandikan anak, minum air mmm..

Suka ah rumah cenggini, ptg2 bleh duk atas boyan bwh umah.

A discovery. Haa ibu kecik2 pakai ni tau parut kelapa - kkore (core-rare - ngan huruf ghain tau)

inside the diorama house

We spent about 2 hrs there, ambik kau… other places won’t be that easy to cover so another obligatory site was Dataran Lang. All the way, we had to answer all kind of questions about the legend. Snap snap snap and rushed to Wan Thai again for lunch. Heheheh Close on Fri…&^%(^#$%*&.

Hannah tgh Zzz..klu x sure ran havoc

Since we were in Kuah, the shopaholic in me started to kick off. 1daman Suri here I comeeeeeee. Since Hannah was dozing, I left them in the car and I went crazy. Klu x kerana bonet keter ku yg kecik ho ho ho mau aku hangkut semoaaaaaa…Kat situlah aku jumpa Ayu hehe.

On our way back dh nak maghrib (aku sgt kejam sbb we have yet to hv a proper lunch. Lucky thing that they were snacking all the way). Singgah makan kat kedai tepi jalan near our resort. Kids managed to pujuk Babah to let them conquer the pool again. At 8PM !! I let them coz I had to crack my head with the packing strategy. Mmmmm..got 1 additional luggage heheheh. Sib baik packed all our stuffs in 1 small trolley bag and 1 knapsack when we came in. That's a feat ok, 2 adults, 2 kids, 1 toddler for 5 days. All in, diapers, formula, baju mandi blabla I always admire my ability to do smart packing hahaha hinns hinns….sila muntah.

That was our last night spent in that humongous, super comfort resort. Fenat, fuas and feh feh hahahaha

--------------------------------

Direction to 1daman Suri :

From or to pekan Kuah, you’ll find one junction with a TIMED traffic light This is the only one (for now lah). U’ll see police station at that junction.

If you’re from Kuah to Cenang, turn RIGHT.
If you’re from Cenang, turn LEFT lah..

From there you just proceed, you’ll pass by a lots of government agencies buildings, at one point, you’ll see a flashlight for stadium on your right (lampu spotlight 4 bucu tu). Proceed and you won’t miss that building coz it’s yellow and it’s huge and it’s on your RIGHT. If you missed that building, ko memang x layak jadik shopaholic hahaha.
