when you have to be tough, you have to be tough.

cant always have people walking over you.

i dont know which one is hurting more now, my health or my pocket.

whatever, let things be.

let's meet up

friends who were once inseparable now become hi and bye acquaintances.

it's not that he doesnt care for you; it's just that you've simply stopped having things in common.

the older you are, the more unreceptive you are to meeting new people.

i share the same sentiments. i'm no longer interested in getting to know people, and having to strike up conversation for courtesy/duty sake.

today was an exception. i lived up to others' expectations of myself. i had to.

the older you are, the less friends you have.

but..but...there are some who do stay, and those that do, are the true blue friends.

so to those people whom i keep saying we should meet up soon, LET'S MEET UP SOON!

langkawi part 3

island hopping

being attacked by monkeys

look how adorable they are! but they are naughty creatures, watch out for your things when they're around, they just might snatch it away in a split second

by the lagoon side

monkeys clinging on to my leg

eagles feeding

the whole sky was filled with eagles, i have never seen one before, let alone so many

blue blue waters!

underwater world

the penguins all seemed to be looking at the same direction

langkawi part 2: the hotel

our hotel room

the view from the balcony in the morning, if only i could wake up to this every morning! we only had a partial sea view, costs a bit more to upgrade to a full sea view.

the shuttle bus we have to take to our hotel room. the whole resort is made up of chalets (1 chalet = 1 hotel room). the shuttle is really fast so it wasnt that inconvenient.

this is how our chalet looks like from the front, where the entrance is. the back faces the sea.

the more expensive suites, where you literally stay on the water. sort of reminds me of the movie: the lake house

perhaps one day when we are richer, we will get one of these suites, and stay here for a week, away from the rest of the world!

Langkawi

just returned from a lovely trip to langkawi last sunday. back to work on monday and it has been a HECTIC week so far. the late nights have taken a toll on me and i'm exhausted now.

uploaded some of the photos below and wanted to pen down my thoughts and rearrange the pics but am too tired to do so now. my eyes are closing.....

so i shall sign off here..

to be continued. *updated*

resort's swimming pool, with a beautiful backdrop of mountains behind. we stayed at this hotel called berjaya spa and resort, which had wonderful comments when we checked it out over the net. it didnt disappoint us; an ideal place for a retreat. it's located far from the main town centre and the more happening beaches, but that didnt affect us too much. anyway there isnt really much to do at langkawi beside the beach and the sand. the resort concept is wonderful: each room is a chalet/house by itself. plenty of privacy and quiet, and we even had a sea view.

at the hotel's private beach

bf had to jump many times before i could capture the next shot

the beach is all peace and quiet...

night market (opens at 5.30 and ends at 8) - one of the worst pasar malams i've been to. absolutely nothing that interest me to spend my money.

on the way to seven wells waterfall - walking up the flights of stairs was sooo tirrrrrrrrrrinngg..

but it was worth the effort

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'
