Land Of Tax Free Chocs and Alcohol

Went for a much awaited trip to Langkawi with some church friends. We planned this trip months before and it turn out to be really really fun. Lots of food (juck food that is), jokes and nonsense. Wasn't 100% inspired/focused on my photography as i took more pics of us being silly so was kinda disappointed with the landscapes below.

1) Oriental Village

2) Cable Car

5) Hotel Hopping - Went around to check out the nice hotels we couldn't afford to stay in and saw this frog in a lilypond.

6) Temurun Falls - I expect to see this place to be in a mess but to my surprise it was beautiful! We had a free tadpole spa treatment there...cool!

Kongsi Kongsi

Sorry for the long break as I am and still is swarm with work. I know it's no excuse as everyone else is busy. Here are some pics to share from the few 'Kongsi(s)' that has a great big celebration during the last chinese new year. It was really festive and load and loads of presentations were going on all at the same time. Went there with my buddy Ray and i think he too had a great time feasting on the street food and snapping shots at the models, hehe!
