Langkawi 2013


On top of Gunung Mat Chinchang. It is said that the mountain rocks are over 15 billion years old! The cable car ride was great.

Holiday!

I have been to Langkawi many times before, on holiday or on work related visits. The place is always fascinating but the trouble with traveling while working is you never have the time for real visits. Most of the time you are hole up at a meeting room in a hotel somewhere. It will be late in the evening before you are free by which time you are already tired and worn out. When the meeting is over, you fly straight back to KL. This time I will be here for four nights, on holiday. That makes a lot of difference.

Off to Langkawi

This time we are spending the Hari Raya going on holiday in Langkawi. This is my first time ever. never before during Raya I go on holiday. Its usually at home or 'balik kampong' during the days when my parents were around. I miss those days. Now I have no kampong to go back to. 

Hari Raya

Its the day finally. One month of fasting is over. Its a day to rejoice, celebrating our win, having successfully abstain from all things that is sinful. Year in year out its the same. The mosque will be empty once again. I'm on leave after almost six months of non stop work. Even then, I had to come to work one day before Raya although I was on leave. Next week I might have to come to work as well, even though still on leave. Anyway, forget about it. For the moment, let me enjoy the break while I can.
