Firestarter - The Rants of a Pyrophile

hello peeps!!

been a while aint it? lemme see. banyaknye cerite nak diceritekan. 1st things 1st. da langkawi trip. wot a loada erm, wots da word ye? fun kot. it was such a blast! all throughout da 3 days, i juz felt sangat independent. i mean, without parents kan. macam dah sangat dewasa. but rite now i'm talking to my friend darshna, n she went 2 india 4 the whole of 3 months n she took a year outta uni and now i feel sangat tak dewasa dah. ah well, it was fun while it lasted. 3 days sangat tak cukup.

so lets get started then. left kl sentral on monday nite. we were running a bit late dat nite. da train was s'pose 2 leave at 8.45 and we only reached da platform at 8.40 kot. orang kat platform tu da bunyi2 da loceng already. and it was really loud. who woulda tot dat loceng yang tak berape besar tu could generate so much noise. so we were lari2 sket trying to find our coach. sgt jauh di hadapan. who woulda tot da train wud be so panjang? nehow, manage to get to our seats before da train moves so dats ok kot.

fast forward 12 hours later and we arrive in arau perlis. actually, it wasnt fast forward la. sangat slow. stops every few minutes. agak horrid la. couldnt sleep. terang. no inflight entertainment wotsoever. but it was rather amusing tgk aishah n nad making friends wiv da dude who sat in front of them. sangat friendly. neways, sampai arau, we decided 2 get breakfast. starved. conveniently ade tempat makan kat situ so we ate there sementare tunggu da ticket counter bukak. after makan2 and waiting around, we unanimously decided dat we're not gonna go back by train, thank god. so we went to da jetty by taxi. took ages to get there but its alrite coz da jalan along da way was kinda scenic. padi all da way. nice. to cut a very long story short, we got da bus tix home n got ourselves on a ferry headed 4 langkawi.

once we got there we made our way 2 da hotel. checked in n relaxed a bit. this is beginning to sound like a karangan sekolah. neways, at abt 2 we went island hopping. sangat best. da bestest thing we did there kot. da boat was gile laju and me n una sat kat depan and got ourselves sprayed by da seawater every now and again. pedih la mate but we didnt mind. 1st island we hopped on was dayang bunting. personally, i dun like dat word. i always used to think dat dats only used 4 kucing n stuff. neways, da guide stopped jap and showed da outline of da island n sure enuff, it looks like a pregnant lady. wahey!! now i know y they call it that. so then we stopped at da island n made our way 2 da lake. but da trip 2 da lake wasnt so smooth. sangat banyak monyet menakutkan orang ramai. but once we got past them, everything was ok la.

next up, we went to see my newly appointed fave animal, eagles makan. sangat hot!!! the way they fly sangat majestic and how organized they were in the way they eat. none of those potong queue and all. seeing da eagles makan has to be one of da things i'll try 2 to remember always. sangat best. moving on, pantai beras basah wiv its nice sandy beach was good 4 1 thing which was main air laut so that was basically all we did there. actually, me n fahan je. da rest chose to sit out. got back to da hotel all tired dat petang but sgt thrill so its xpela. had dinner and dat was d end of da 1st day.

2nd day started well. went down 4 breakfast at 7 sumthin. i was impressed wiv myself. neva tot i cud get up dat early 2 go 2 breakfast. but dat was as far as it went. plopped ourselves back in2 bed afta breakfast n stayed there till past eleven. aiyo. but all was not lost. aishah my next door neighbour in asma in sem 1 lives in langkawi. she n her family were kind enuff 2 let us borrow their unser for the day. we were sangat terharu. thanx aishah n family so all 5 of us comfortably sat in the unser and the main drivers were una n nad. n una was really macho wiv her baju camo driving a big car. the only thing dat wud make her even more macho wud be if da car was manual.

so we went 2 buy lotsandlots of chocz, then had lunch. afta lunch we tot we'd drive to go up da cable car but 2 our massive disappontment, it rained n they closed early. huhu. sangat hampa. on da way to we stopped by telaga air panas or sumthin. sure enuff, da air was panas. amazing! hahaha. neways, afta da disappointment at da cable car place, we went 2 makam mahsuri. more bad news 4 us, dah tutup. sedih skali lagi. so we went past pantai chenang and didnt stop coz it was drizzling. we also went past da airport. actually, i only saw da landing strip. port die tak tau kat mane. saw a plane land too. so dat was kewl. we balik n then stopped by da pasar malam n bot dinner n ate kat bilik. early nite in 4 all of us (slept by 11) n so ended day 2.

day 3 was our last day there. woke up early 2 pack. fahan as always woke up latest sbb die boleh siap sambil lari. hahaha. went 2 dataran lang to take pictures mase siang pulak coz da 1st nite we were there we went n took pix of da majestic eagle in da dark. but even then it wasnt terang sangat. it was hujan renyai2. then we headed 2 taman lagenda but couldnt habiskan da whole park coz our ferry leaves at 11.30 and we still had to return da car. so off we went n returned da car and aftawards aishah n her mum was kind enuff 2 send us to da jetty. naek ferry, settled in 4 a bit then went up dekat da topmost deck of da ferry which was terbuka. sangat best. angin. da sprays of seawater pun not bad jugak. soon as we sampai kat kuala perlis we went 2 da bus station. we waited 4 da bus 2 sampai n then naik. it was a helluvalot better than the train i can tell u dat. da seats were nice n comfy, da leg room was banyak n they even had foot rest (is dat wot u call it? coz it wasnt exactly a foot stool). da seats were them reclining types so dat made it even better. slept most of da way 2 kl. n so ended our trip. sampai pudu, waited 4 mum n ayah 2 sampai n then went home all happy n grown up. sebelum mengakhiri karangan saye, di sini i wanna say, to all who doubted dat we were gonna go *coughsyaza* and made fun of us when we were planning da trip *coughsyaza* and laughed at us lotsandlots *coughsyaza*, u're not getting nething from me except minyak gamat. muahahahahaha!!!!

oh yeah, found out sumfink cool 2day. dunno how da topic came up mase tgh borak2 wiv mum n ayah n dude, but apparently u cud make urself unseen provided u have proper intentions n really yakin. in other words, make urself invisible la kot. juz till u get urself out of a tight situation, not 4ever la. juz bace dis 1 ayat from surah yasin n god willing, da person dat u dun want 2 c u wont c u. ayah tried it once n he sed it worked. but wot he sed cud be contested la. he sed once he was on a bus n he had no money so he bace dat ayat n sure enuff da conductor didnt see him. if he did see him, he didnt say nething. da point is, da dude neva asked 4 money la kirenye. cool innit? i gotta try dat.

neways, dats enuff rant 2 last me 2 days kot. maybe i'll post more rants 2moro coz i still got loads to rant abt. hasta luego then.
