finally i could find the time to write this entry. i'm not busy or something like that. i just have to find the mood to write, hehe.. honestly, i couldn't remember this trip well. i will just it according to my fragments of memories. you could find the flight and hotel details (as well as the itinerary) here.
our flight is at 7:50am. someone (i don't remember who, but i think it might be my parents or my sister or even my brother in law, haha..) send yati, aisyah and i to the airport. we met fiza there. we dropped our luggage (already self checked-in by web), had breakfast and boarded the plane.

| the four of us are vacationing again, yay! |
once we arrived, our rental car was already waiting (fiza made the arrangement). we drove or actually fiza drove to our hotel. since it was still early for us to check in, we just dropped our things and went straight to our first destination of the day, monsopiad cultural village. we watched a couple of traditional dances, sumazau and the bamboo one. we even given a chance to try the sumpit, a long wooden blowpipe, from which poison-tipped or barbed darts are blown, used primarily for hunting. surprising or more to coincidentally, i was good at it. i popped two balloons with only one dart.
after that, we were free to roam the village. we went on the 'hanging bridge/suspension bridge.' the funny thing is, we thought the village we saw after the bridge is included in the tour. it turned out that it was a real village. we were told (kindly) to turn around and get back to the tour side. we were then given a tour to the 'house of skulls.' that was the end of our visit here at the village. oh, we also stumbled upon a wedding here. seems this place could be rented as a wedding venue.

our next destination of the day is lok kawi wildlife park. it felt like a kid again, going to the zoo fro the very first time. the park is not as big as the national zoo, but it still has its own charm. my favourite part here is watching the elephants. the calves are very cute playing with one another. and the next is watching the otters swimming playfully.

| aren't the animals cute? |
we went back to the hotel afterwards to properly check in and freshen up. then, we resumed our plan of the day by going to bukit kokol to view the sunset. i knew of this from the tripadvisor. i always use tripadvisor in planning trips. the drive uphills is quite challenging. luckily fiza is on good driver. when we arrived at the top, there's a restaurant there. we received quite a strange look from the people that were already there. maybe, it was because we were the only muslims (wearing hijab and all). we ordered drinks and snacks while waiting. and the waiting was worth it. the sunset was very beautiful. we also got a view of some people doing 'parachuting', is this even a word? huhu..
 |
| WOW! |
finally, the EVENT that we've been waiting for, the EVENT that really bring us to KK is here!!! and that's it the 'seafood feasting' event. this event took place at the famous kampung nelayan. once seated at our dining table, we went to choose the meals we want from the water tanks. for sure, we chose the lobster (it costs us around RM130++) and several other seafood. our meal was accompanied by several traditional performances. after dinner, we did a little bit of shopping and called it a day!
