We, as in Munir from our ad agency, Calvin our supplier and moi, got in to Langkawi at about 9.30am and first headed for breakfast - nasi lemak with freshly fried chicken! Yummy! Then, it was off to work. With two thirds of the work done and very much ahead of schedule, we took some time off to go have some fun at the Langkawi Cable Car. Although I had been up once before, it was still exciting!
The view of the cable car from the car park.. The entance into the Langkawi Cable Car station..
The pretty garden enroute the station.. Budding lotus, which I'm sure would be simply beautiful in full bloom!
Pretty parrot..
Entrance to the cable car..
Austrian techonology of the cable car... Big wheels keep on turning..
Up, up and away.. The saying goes, "a picture paints a thousand words" but in this case, pictures alone are not enough to describe this great experience!
Looking down.. On the left is, what I think is, part of the Telaga Tujuh waterfalls.. See that brownish patch in the pix on the right? Well, that's where we started off!
Approaching the 2nd station.. the suspension bridge to the right..
From the 2nd station lookin back at the 1st station.. It's a short walk downhill to get to the bridge. Getting back up can leave you quite breathless but it's SO worth the walk!
The bridge.. looking from one end to the other.. It can be a tad scary being on the bridge as it moves but SO worth the experience!
View from the middle of the bridge.. looking up to the viewing deck above (a short climb to the top from the station).. Me on the bridge..
Looking down.. and looking up..
Looking left and looking right.. (if you're heading to the end of the bridge)
The cute suggestion box, yes, in the shape of a cable car! Pretty full.. It's either they had loads of suggestion that day or no one's been collecting the suggestions, which totally defeats the purpose of the box, no?
These beautiful rock formations were at.. around the north east side of the island, just before the Kedah Cement factory, a massive, imposing structure set against the kampung houses. We travelled this route after the cable cars to get to Kuah to complete the remaining one third of our work.

We got to Kuah, did what we had to do, had some lunch did a spot of shopping at the duty shops and headed for the airport. My flight was at 5.30pm, while the guys were due to take off at 6.30pm. Unfortunately, my flight was delayed! Damn! So, the guys got in, took off, landed in KLIA and I was still stuck at Langkawi airport! Aww, man! Anyway, I'd managed to switch to the 9.30pm flight, which took off on time and I finally got home at 11.30pm - so much for wanting to get home early! Well, still, I count my blessing 'coz if I had not switched to the 9.30pm flight I would've still been at the Langkawi airport - my original 5.30pm flight only took off at about 11.30pm! Yes, 6 hours late!
