A must place to visit in Langkawi

I would says, Langkawi is a small island, easy to travel by following the map provided.. We rented a MPV and travel the whole Langkawi ourselves, so there's no worries even you dont have a GPS with you. And now, I would like to introduce some nice must go place to you when you are planning to go Pulau Langkawi.


#1. Cenang Beach

The first things you will think of Langkawi forsure is Beach. Cenang Beach is the most famous beach in Pulau Langkawi.. Then followed by Pantai Tengah. We didnt go pantai tengah, But I heard that Pantai Tengah is much more quite than Pantai Cenang, so suit the family. Honestly, I dont really like Pantai Cenang, as thr r more on commercial activities. It is not recommended to swim in the sea as there has jelly fish. But we cannot deny that there are unlimited fun in Pantai Cenang.

Parasailing priced around RM 55 per pax.. Do survey the price around first before hop in because various company thr which offer different price.



Jet-skiing, is pricey. RM90 for 15 minutes.


Banana Boat, priced RM10 per person


However, we get offered a package price of RM55 per pax for Parasailing and banana boat.

Night time, you may shop at Pantai Cenang as the entire beach road is lined with shops and stalls on both sides. These shops sell mostly souvenirs in the form of fashion accessories, beads, handicrafts and merchandise but there are also many convenience stores.





#2. Langkawi Cable Car

The Cable Car system is the latest tourist attraction for Langkawi and is located at the Oriental Village. Nothing much to say about this. You may see nice view from the top, but dont expect for cool wind, bcz it is hot still under the big sun. RM30 per pax for the entrance fee, not really worth it, but do it once a life la. Haha..





#3. Telaga Tujuh/ Seven wells

If you are a waterfall lover, you must visit Seven well. It is so beautiful and clean water. There are two parts of the Waterfalls. The bottom part of the waterfall is nice but there are too many stones, dangerous and hard to play around. The peak of the waterfall is the most beautiful part, I was in love with it. There are a lot of orang putih, haha...Hoever, there are some adventurous trek to reach the peak, take a long climb to the top of the waterfalls. It was tiring, but once arrived at the top, the quaint vista of the landscape is absolutely stunning and actually, it cannot be restricted in words. Thus, to put in succinct terms, Telaga Tujuh is a wonderful place to visit on your trip to Langkawi.

This is the view of the 1st waterfall. You can clearly see the big stones.


So we can only rest and relax.


You will see this on ur way to the peak of the waterfall. Can you imagine how many steps we climbed?


Up to the peak, so called 'Seven well'. Pretty nice waterfall.


Clean water and can easy see through the stones under.



#4. Kuah Town

Kuah Town is Langkawi’s main town, as well as the entry point for ferry from either the mainland or from Penang. The town isn’t really all that big, but you’ll be able to do some shopping over at the Eagle Square (Dataran Lang), the Langkawi Fair or at the various bazaars at the center of Kuah. This is a great place to pick up duty free goods, such as liquor, beer and chocolate.



There are lots of duty free shops around Kuah town. It is strongly advise to do survey before buy the duty free goods as some shops will offer cheaper goods. And, all duty free shops are nearby, which is a 2-3 minutes walking distance. I recommended 'Coco Valley' as their price is quite reasonable and somehow cheaper than other duty free shops.

#5. Helang Square

Dont Forget the trademark of Langkawi Island, the Big Big Helang.


And, take a group picture in front of it to prove that you came Langkawi before.



#5. Hotel rooms

Last but not least, it is a must to buy some beers and liquor to your hotel room and enjoy the duty free goods with lovely friends.


We didnt drink much.. I think is a waste la bcz beer and liquor are the cheapest goods in Langkawi. Drink beer is cheaper than a mineral water, ie, Carlsberg=1500ml mineral water.

Carlsberg Can - Small RM1.60
Hoegaarden Bottle RM3.50
Heineken Bottle RM2.50


Poker card is alwasy paired with beers. Cheers, peeps...




Done!

My fb friends called me 'Yee Yeong' as my fb name stated "Mei Yee Yeong"..

Thus, I decided to amend my fb profile name to "MeiYee Yeong"...

So, please..please.. Call me 'Mei Yee'
I dont like Yee Yeong.. haha...

Mei Yee, stay real always, YEAH!

Bananas... very interesting

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases.. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe it’s time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?

Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit
