When Holiday meets Me

Assalam and greetings

On last mid-term holiday, I witnessed lots of magnificent creations of Allah and one of those that I loved so much is NATURE.

I visited Kedah for the third time; enjoyed a trip to Langkawi with 2 of my friends - Kimi and Qiqi, and celebrated Eid Adha at Kodiang. Wallahi, Kedah has always been one of the place that I loved so much. In my homeland Sarawak, there aren't so many paddy field. Beautiful blue sky and paddy field gives you stress-free feeling when you need sweet escape from busy city.

So, here's my story.

FIRST DAY
During our one day trip to Langkawi, we stayed at Tstar Cottage, near to Pantai Chenang. You can check on the place in their website page. I pasted the link at the bottom of this post.

The place is quite cosy and nice. They have beautiful green concept landscape design and from the entrance, you can see view of nature around the cottage - with due respect to their motto, "Love Green Love Nature". Qiqi get ourselves a Spa House on the ground floor. Anyway, it's completely a nice place to stay.

There's nothing much we can do because we have only one day. Well, we did enjoyed our one day trip; went to Pantai Chenang, Chenang Mall, shops and of course, we bought so many chocolates. Onomnom~ I did asked a silly question to my friend during our dinner at KFC. I asked them, if Langkawi is a strategic honeymoon destination for couple. Obviously, yes.

SECOND DAY
The next day, off to Jetty Point and had our lunch at Kenny Rogers Roasters and stopped by at Starbucks to buy a drink - because Qiqi is a Starbucks monster. At 7 pm, we rushed to the jetty, get into ferry and have a safe journey to Kuala Perlis.

Sampai Kuala Perlis *___* Kepala pening-pening lalat. Ayah Kimi bawak kami balik Kodiang, had our dinner, mandi, main mercun jap, and slept like sleeping beauties. Not so beauty after all. Kami abam-abam hensem ja.

THIRD DAY
So, hello Kodiang. Very quiet place, kawasan kampung, buatkan aku rindu kampung aku sendiri. Yang tak bestnya, line maxis tak bagus. Ini salah maxis. Maxis memang problem line macam chipsmore. Anyway, kami memang takda plan nak buat apa. But the next day after we arrived is the Eid Adha Celebration, so aku and Qiqi tag along dengan family Kimi ke Alor Setar, eh wait, Alor Staq naa.

Ini yang paling best! Aku rasa artis sebab datang jauh dan di import dari Sarawak. I loved the attention hehehe. The best part is, uncle Kimi boleh cakap Sarawak, melepas la rindu sedikit nak cakap bahasa sendiri. Anyway, memang epic meal time, makan tanpa henti. Remind me of the time bila beraya dengan family Izzat dulu, the same situation. Ada mee sup, laksa utara, lemang dan rendang (I think so), bubur sedap (I don't know the exact name), nasi and lauk-lauk sedap, dan macam-macam lagi. Setelah segala godaan makanan aku gagal tepis dengan silat, taek kwon do dan karate, aku makan dan berat naik seperti biasa. Perut aku pulak, deng deng macam lawak ke der 2. Kaco kaco! Salah timing la perut ni. Time nak enjoy makan, nak melawat tandas pulak.

Lepas tu, kami jalan-jalan around Alor Staq, pi Jitra and then dah takda idea, pi la Tasik Darul Aman. More like get-together-time and brotherhood moment, tapi lawak jugak. Paid for buggy riding, we drove around the park. Mula-mula Qiqi yang drive, and then aku try drive. Perghhh sensation orang yang bawak and I don't have a license, rasa macam "Aku nak drift!", tapi takut terjunam masuk tasik pulak. Then, minum di kedai dekat dengan tasik. Cendol jagung tak sedap, jangan order. Tapi ABC Ice Cream sedap, mesti order. Yang tak bestnya, too crowded and too many people yang macam baru nak hit puberty and lepak-lepak konon. Apa boleh buat, kawasan public. Aku pun lepak jugak. Eh. Eh.

FOURTH DAY
Supposedly, pi Padang Besar tapi tak jadi and tukar schedule ke esok hari. So, planning nak pi Baling or Kulim, nak jalan-jalan, pun tak jadi. The rest of the day takda buat apa sampai pukul 6 camtu, aku, Qiqi and Kimi keluar and plan tengok Insidious Chapter 2 kat Jitra Mall. The only show time available is at 11 pm. Kena tunggu. So, kami ronda Jitra and Alor Staq skali lagi, had our dinner at Rakok Seafood, went to donwtown shops, ordered take away KFC for Qiqi and went back to Jitra Mall and watched Insidious Chapter 2.

Oh yes, Insidious Chapter 2 memang terbaik. Kalau belum tengok yang first, tengok dulu then you can watch the second one, sebab ada banyak kesinambungan antara first and second Insidious. The funny part is that when I can't stand the way 'something' slapped the lady, we all screamed and Qiqi is holding his KFC chicken. Eating and screaming, at the same time. HAHAHAHA... Habis movie tu, kami terus balik and tdoq nyenyak.

FIFTH DAY
Ahhh the last day, and I can't remembered it well what we did. Ahhh oh yes, kami dok dalam rumah ja. Did we? No! We went to Padang Besar, Perlis. On the way to Padang Besar, ambik kawan Kimi, Abdil kat Taman Tun Teja. Yes, I remembered the very least detail which not so important. Mesmerized by the beautiful view and scenery along the road to Padang Besar, I kept my mouth shut and enjoyed the view. Macam sightseeing dalam kereta la pulak.

Dah sampai Padang Besar, beli la baju and makanan, except for me sebab dah pokai lepas balik dari Langkawi, blame the chocolates and foods. Aku beli satu cincin ja, which Qiqi claimed to be 'couple ring' konon, but I just want to have one small thing that would last much longer than foods.

On our way back to Kodiang, me and Qiqi dah tak boleh tahan, stopped by and the side of the road and took pictures. Serius pemandang luas and sangat cantik! Subhanallah. Selalu tengok dalam TV ja. Fell in love with nature.

Balik Kodiang and we rest for a while and packed our stuffs. Tiket balik ke KL jam 10 pm. We thanked Kimi's family for giving us with good hospitality and layanan yang sangat baik. Segan pulak bertandang tak bawak apa-apa. But nevermind, I swear I will come back sebab Kimi tak bawak aku makan Pasembur kat Kodiang.
