Me, parasailing. Thanks to my sister who took this photo. :)

I spent about a week of my holidays in Langkawi, Malaysia. I had so much fun there - how could I not?! I tried so many new things - jet-skiing, para-sailing, and banana-boating.  "Just keep swimming" is about the best advice I've ever been given when trying to avoid getting bitten by the fish when snorkelling - thanks Dory! 

Of all the places in Langkawi I've visited, I think I'll miss Pantai Cenang the most. The beach was utterly beautiful and that's where I did a lot of my water activities. Besides that, there are restaurants along the road next to the beach as well as the small quirky shops which make me wish there were such things in Singapore.

Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I'll let them explain the rest.

A Day At The Beach

1. I took this picture after I woke up in the tent. I used my dad's sunglasses (?) as a filter. This photo is taken through the netting of the tent.

2. This boy is really brave, in my opinion. I observed him for awhile, lost in my own thoughts at the same time. Then, he looked up, noticed me, and smiled at me shyly. I smiled back. I kept on walking, after that, all the while thinking about the boy's thoughts on the vast expanse of the ocean.

3. A view.

4. This bird fascinated me. A lot. It only flew into my line of sight when there was a roar of an airplane's engines, a sort of signal, before it soars right above us. It seemed to fly effortlessly over the ocean while the other birds struggled against the wind that seems to deafen me as well. I stood watching it for quite some time at the place shown in (3).

I had a great time at the beach that time, last week. Though, I have to admit that my butt was sore after cycling 24 km to Changi Beach and 24 km back. There was a number of beautiful sceneries, but sadly, I didn't bring along my camera while cycling. These pictures, however, were taken at East Coast Park.
