Big Bad Wolf : The World's Biggest Book Sale

Oh gosh, it was like a surprise for me to be surrounded by almost 30 millions books during the book sale previously. The event was a success for me cause there was like hundred of people flooded in the exhibition hall choosing book to be read or at least as the accessories at their own home library. There were multiracial people here, Malay, Chinese, countable Indian and a few foreigners and thank god I did not spot any Indonesian or perhaps Bangladesh. LOLed.

The book that perhaps you can only buy at the rate MYR120 at the book store, you can get it for MYR20 here. Just try to imagine with more then twenty section; adult, romance, reference, children, economy and many more with countless number of books, one or two hours here won't be enough. Believe me. It was like a very unforgettable experience for me. 

By the way, am not sure either there was people whose buying 30 to 40 books are to read them or just perhaps make their home library looking more amazing, means just for exhibition. Enough with the words cause the event had already ended on 23 of Disember and it is my fault to upload it quite or maybe very late due to my very own personal thingy. Kew3x.

At the entrance. Excited
Over view of le people and le books on sale.
Books that you never thought exist also available. FART, please.
Browsing thru the books.
More books. Just look at the staging of the book, millions.
Evem Justin Bieber book is sold at MYR15.00. Bitch please
So, for this year it ended already and hopefully it will be held again next year cause this is such a good way of promoting semangat membaca among citizen of Malaysia thus improving our reading, thinking and problem solving skills.

More Discovery Of Langkawi Island

Yeah, lots more to go for me to write bout my previous vacation to Langkawi Island cause there was like thousand of sacred memory to be told. The island was a total epic and skeptic, totally lost in my thought. Finish with a little tour around Pekan Kuah on the first day, our second day is more adventure and more exploration. Full of excitement and feeling of eager to know surely.

Early in the morning, we all off our Amara Guest House and went for our simple breakfast at the stall nearby. Just having roti canai and ordinary breakfast dishes; nasi lemak, bihoon, mee etc.As I said before, there is like no special food that can only be founded here is Langkawi, just a normal food available.

Amara Guest House, Place we stayed in for 3 days 2 nights.
The stall at the road side. We had most of our lunch, dinner and breakfast here. 
Nasi Lemak and telur mata.
Another simple malaysian breakfast. Roti planta but I don't know the planta taste is gone.
For kids, this angry birds apam is attractive enough to persuade them taking breakfast.
Finish breakfast and without further a due, we just start to travel across to and fro of the island cause yeah we have time constriction to be followed and if we procrastinate the time, we would not be able to visit the whole island is not it. And I start to think that does not the inhabitants of this island bored cause yeah, their mainland is like so small, within 2-3 hours the whole road on the island can be travel without any pit stop. See! So how did they survive living on this island for like 20-30 years. Puffff.

For these vacation, am the one who becoming the tour guide. For every destination and event road chooser was 100% based in my decision. So, our first destination is Tanjung Rhu Beach. My first impression was like, Omai Allah, so beautiful and I don't really know how to put it in a good words cause you know, the view make me total speechless. 

Me and this free distributed map. Btw this map is really useful even it is not drawn by scale, it really helpful. Believe me.
First destination, Tanjung Rhu Beach that is about 30 minutes away from Pekan Kuah. Beautiful rite. With that there island behind, perghh totally amazing and gorgeous.
Super duper crystal clear water here at Langkawi Island. Nice, really.
Widely open white sandy beach. The sand is so so perfectly halus and the beach is clean. Unlike Teluk Batik thou.
Beautiful and skeptic huh. I already be here and am proud of it.
More photos on the beach. 
Seem like not in Malaysia rite. It just too awesome.
More photos.
After staying for about an hour here, we packed again to move to the next location cause yeah, we are not going to stay here in this island for a week plus plus. So the nest location is just 15 minutes driving, Durian Perangin Waterfall. Amazing place thou. Without googling I even can guess why is this place named this was. First the word durian is due to the durian trees that grew across this waterfall and the word peringin is because of it chilling atmosphere that is so dingin.

Titi Gantung crossing the waterfall.
Overview of the waterfall
The upper part of the waterfall. Chilling, very.
We are not staying here for a long while. Just for a bout 45 minutes, then we headed of to the Perdana Gallery or also known as Galeri Perdana. Just about 10 minutes away, we drove there. But at this waterfall, there was a souvenir shop selling pearls thingy like bracelets,, ring as well as necklace that will surely make the women turn to a monster. Besides, coral reef, shell, as well as photo frames, Tee, hat also been sold here.

Arrived at the Galeri Perdana, we asked for the entrance fee and for Allah sake, it is MYR5.00 per person. What a waste, paying that much just to observe and antique, historic figurine. So, we didn't get in cause a way to save budget is not to enter any museum where the information inside can be easily obtain thru google. But still where snap few photos outside the building so that when people asked either I've been here or not, I can proudly say, yes I am.

Photo'ing with le Bahtera Purba.
The structure of the Galeri Perdana. Beautiful, rite. 
Another ship stranded outside the building. Its free to visit here but to enter the gallery, you must pay MYR5.
As we intentionally didn't planned to get in, we just stay here for a bit before continuing our journey back to Pekan Kuah to pick up abang baya. There, we stopped by at the Legendary Park before going for our lunch and back to the guest house for a little refreshment and performing our obligation before continuing our adventures.

A3 on action at this beautiful park, Legendary Park. BTW, this park is a huge park.
A small view of the park.
Sweet lovey dovey couple at the entrance.
My lunch drink. Lai Chee Kang, even it a little weirdly taste.
My Nasi Goreng Ayam. Love the sauce.
After taking a short nap, we were all headed to the Jetty Kilim for more adventure and excitement. Wheeehaaa. But on the way there, there is a few complication that cause our schedule to run a bit late but still it is bearable and forgivable. Our rented car was broken and what is worse the break is nonfunctional. Almost our car hit the front car. But thanks to Allah, as Abg Arip is professional enough to avoid the hitting mitting incident and we are all safe. Phewww. Attention to everyone those who want to rent a rented car, ensure it safety first wokeyh.

The broken MPV. It is just not about money, it also waste our golden time here in this island.
Frustration and unsatisfied with the rented car services.
Kilim Geoforest Park.
Me and the billboard. Sweating huh.
 This visitation to Kilim Geoforest Park was like the main part of this trip. Will absolutely have a special post bout it later. Next, we off to Beras Hangus but unfortunately, the place was closed already for that day. Its okeyh, at least we have the image of this place and hopefully there will be next time for us to be here to pay a full visit here. Hopefully~~~

As, the day had turn nite, we decided to go for our last dinner on this Allah granted island with it scenery that is truly gorgeous and fantabulos. We went for seafood that nite but due to my non-DSLR camera that already habis battery, my phone camera that is cap kuda laut, the food look so pitiful but anyhow is amazingly delicious and mouth watering. Close your eyes cause the photo may be a little sensored.

 ~~~Am deciding not to upload the photo as the images are too pitiful.

 That nite remark our visitation to this Langkawi Island. On the nest morning we just headed to Pekan Kuah for some final shopping before went to jetty for another final shopping. Till then my total damages up till now is MYR290. But still there is lot of catch I brought home from here and am really happy with this trip.

First catch, my new perfume from le cote de parfume. Cost me MYR183. 
Small portion of the glassware bought here.
White tee as the souvenir. 
A must bought chocolates when you are here from Haji Ismail Group.
Lastly, transporting all the mess together back home.
Everything was mesmerised for me to be here. I like here sometimes more in the future cause there is still a part of this island I still didn't travel in and hopefully will. So, sayonara Langkawi Island.

Off to Pavilion, Sephora, Brand Outlet, H&M And Lot 10

What an awesome outing it was. LOL. Truly enjoyable and I love it. Even it maybe a little bit tiring but it is all paid off as the happiness was always there. Happy moment thou especially when we going out with family. Basically the intention why am heading to Kuala Lumpur is to visit my nephew that is just underwent a small surgery which is bersunat. Congratulation to both of them and now they can pray inline with les adults and also maybe get married. 

Back to the story, the next day which is on monday, we planned to go to Pavilion to pay it a visit as I have never been here yet for the rest of my live. I thought it was just like the other shopping mall but my thought is totally strayed away. My imagination is false and lost. This place is really not a place for me perhaps. Going there wearing slipper was a total rare cause people patronizing this area is too fashionable. True fashion victim. And know what, there is even an old guy wearing purple pants, what-a-world rite? But still I respect it as they think they are fashionable, what can I say kind of thingy. 

The structure of the Pavilion. Later when people ask have me been here, i can proudly said that Yes I do.
There are many branded-shop that I have never even know the name before I came here. Weird huh, for me perhaps. There are Topman, Parkson, just to name a few that I recognised and memorised. Others, I really can't recall it. 

After wandering inside this building for almost an hour, we went out and again we spot this unique building structure that is just opposite the Pavilion, Sephora.

Unique structure, Sephora.
 Deciding not to go inside cause my expectation is that the price will be even cozier than Pavilion due to its more glamorous, sophisticated, complex structure. Then, we just walked by and away. Phewww. As it almost zohor time, we headed to the only spotted ensurely supplied Halal Food, Subway. As usual we are having sandwich here and a must to have the sub of the day due to it's cheapest price I think. Around MYR8 each. 

Monday sub of the day, **can't recall the name. Yummylicious
 After filling our stomach with this scrumption and finger lickin' good sandwich, we went to the Brand Outlets. A store that is suit to our wallet. LOL. And know what, it is an OmaiAllah, there were lots of nice cloths and even bags that make me so confused which is to buy and which are not. After choosing this and that shirt, going for like a thousand time to the fitting room, I found afew that is really suit my heart and soul. Beside buying my only T, we also buy a same T for all of us. As a symbolic of our outing, maybe.  

There is a story behind this shirt. Funny story.
 Here is the story, initially we choose this T over the others as maybe the Santa look cute or I don't know cause I just follow their lead. We even already paid for the T and straightly went to the toilet to change into this T. All of us did. We even take one or two toilet photos with this T before we were regretting our choice. Yeah, regretted. Why? because of the Sante. Other people religion symbol and believe rite. Thus it is prohibited to be wore by muslim. That what we believe. As our heart on that particular of time did not really sure bout this thingy, we just return back this T and change it to other T that is more abstract. What a story rite?
Lot 10, where H&M is located. Triple storey of H&M, truly heaven.
This H&M outlet is full of foreigners. And not just them, there were also lots of malaysian fashionista that love wearing striking color T and pants as well. All that sort of people can be easily found here. But still, they are fashionable in their own way. Oh yeah, the outlet is really grand and there are quite selection of awesome T to be bought. But due to money constriction, I just grab a dream T of mine. 

I like this T to the max. MYR39.90.
Actually it took me a week to come to this decision to buy this T. The T may seem simple but for me it is nice. LOL. But then I still buy it, whatever. I asked my brother at UM to buy it for me first. Thank god there is still available T and still not sold out. Or not I'll cry regretfully. 

These are all the T I bought on the day. Awesome.
Before heading off to the Sg. Wang, we spotted this Chatime outlet just outside the Lot 10 mall and I said, I should give it a try cause it is quite hard to find this Chatime. It is not available in Teluk Intan and I never come across it back in Shah Alam. And you know what, it taste delicious. Really scrumptious and straw sucking good. Won't miss it if I spot it eslewhere.

My first Chatime. Mine is Chocolate Hazel and I already fall in love with it.
Next, after a very tiring day of walking, we went to Sg. Wang and there were like lots ad lots of more gorgeous and fabulaz thing. Am so falling in love. I'm searching for a singly handed bag here but I think it is not my luck cause there is nothing catchy enough to my eyes. Here, I did not buy anything except that I went for dinner to the Johnny's. Will blog bout it later.

Dinner at Johnny's. Thailand cuisine.
Then, after dinner we straightly went home by the public transport. For me, to be here it is better by public transport rather than by our own car or bike because it is more easier and convinience. Traffic congestion here is like a crap. What a sadist was that thru out our outing, it was raining even just mild. 

Raining all day long. That man sold the transparent umbrella for MYR10.00 way to expensive.
