<p><strong>Langkawi</strong> didn&#8217;t just have nice scenery or rather scenes to take photos of. What fun is there if one just go to <strong>Langkawi island</strong> all alone to take photos without a bunch of crazy people. Those you can play and go crazy and &#8220;siao siao&#8221; (lunacy) with. Now admiringly there are 9 of us and this is where the fun started.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2171" title="Eagle of Langkawi" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/eagle-statue.jpg" alt="Eagle of Langkawi" width="670" height="445" /></p>
<p>There was a day where we went for eagle watch on one of the days. For those that visited my facebook album from the previous post, you would know that it&#8217;s not easy capturing them with just a 200mm lens. <em>Budget required for 400mm lens</em>. So why not this <strong>mighty eagle</strong> serve it&#8217;s purpose instead.</p>
<p>So just who were the crazy gang? Let&#8217;s get them into the picture.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2173" title="Crazy Langkawi Gang" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gang.jpg" alt="Crazy Langkawi Gang" width="670" height="349" /></p>
<p><strong>Now how many people do you see there</strong>? 7 or 8? (<em>Thought it was 9, duh&#8230; Daniel is the one taking this photo</em>) Well, all getting ready to pose for the camera. Some loves to pose with their back exposed like the 2 white shirted people. Wonder what they were thinking? It&#8217;s totally <strong>weird</strong>, wondering why the rest are ready and only 2 people posing like that. Hee&#8230; hee&#8230;</p>
<p>Do you actually see the 8th person in the photo? Well, if you don&#8217;t see him/her there, the next photo might reveal what that person was planning to do when he first stepped into the Island of Langkawi.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2175" title="Hamsap William at Langkawi" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/hamsap-william-langkawi.jpg" alt="Hamsap William at Langkawi" width="378" height="576" /></p>
<p>Now you know why he loves Langkawi! All for the wrong reason. So WTF right? The rest of us took photos of ourself while he go chat up the white chick at the background. (<em>pun intended&#8230; person in the photo please don&#8217;t kill me</em>) WAHAHAHA!!!</p>
<p>That was Day 1 and yes, the day past by so fast without doing much. Day 2 was slightly better and more things to witness. It was meant to be a full day activity filled. It was also meant to be the day to buy all the alcohol one needed. For example I bought <strong><em>Absolut, Baileys and a Red Wine</em></strong>. Oppps.. and I just found out I have in stock 3 Baileys at home. (I seriously didn&#8217;t know)</p>
<p>Remember that guy above with the orange shirt. Somehow I found someone else with Orange too. Try to guess who. It&#8217;s none other than Mr Ma Lao.</p>
<p>Huh?? Who???</p>
<p>Have a look below&#8230;</p>
<p>..<br />
..<br />
&#8230;<br />
&#8230;&#8230;..<br />
&#8230;&#8230;<br />
.<br />
&#8230;..</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2167" title="Lonely Monkey" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/monkey-lonely.jpg" alt="Lonely Monkey" width="670" height="445" /></p>
<p>Ta Dah~~~~~ <strong>Orange Coat with a long black tail</strong>. Hohoho&#8230; look alike or not? Wahh~~~~~</p>
<p>Okay does this count as people? Not really!</p>
<p>Forgotten to mention, first day was actually fun. When we were a few hundred meters above sea level. Right on top the <strong>Hanging Bridge of Langkawi</strong>. Though it&#8217;s more of like a <strong>sky bridge</strong>. This is where Daniel makes his appearance. Well, I should be appearing in my blog right?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2169" title="Bridge Slumber Post" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/bridge-pose.jpg" alt="Bridge Slumber Post" width="432" height="650" /></p>
<p>Damn&#8230; I look so plain. So bored. So not attractive. Of course, because I wanted to make the scenery looks nicer. (<em>What rubbish!!!</em>) It was a magnificent sight to behold, seeing how high we were. So high, we can actually do <strong>bungee jump if there was</strong> actually one in Langkawi. Just too bad that there ain&#8217;t one.</p>
<p>But what I like about this bridge and it&#8217;s wide and vast background is that one can pose for the camera. Now how about a pose? Well, who else to do the pose but with <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>Yen</strong></em></span>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2176" title="Pose Photo" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/lansi-photo.jpg" alt="Pose Photo" width="670" height="445" /></p>
<p>Nice leh <img src='http://danielctw.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Don&#8217;t jealouse can. Both also expert in posing. XP</p>
<p>Heeee&#8230; what do you think about the photo? Of course it&#8217;s way way way nicer if you compare to the above photo with the one below. The one below is one photo which I wouldn&#8217;t want to get caught taking for real. If you&#8217;re in my situation, you will understand.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2174" title="GGP William" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/GGP-william.jpg" alt="GGP William" width="670" height="445" /></p>
<p><strong>HELP HELP HELP ME</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s the same guy with the orange shirt and look at what he&#8217;s doing now? OMG~~~~ Help me please.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>ps : Seriously all photos taken and things wrote here are meant for fun and laughter and to make it look weird.</em> <em>Especially photos with <a title="William Leong" href="http://williamleong.blogspot.com" target="_blank">William</a> </em>(<em>yes that guy with the Orange shirt</em>)</p></blockquote>
<p>I can almost hear my saviours coming to help me, devising a plan to help me out from this problem. Just look at how serious they&#8217;re discussing. THe plans, the thoughts, the deep in thought posture, all to help me out from this situation. Way to go girls.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2172" title="Female Gang of Langkawi" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/female-gang.jpg" alt="Female Gang of Langkawi" width="670" height="445" /></p>
<p><strong>HELP IS ON THE WAY. JUST NEED TIME TO DISCUSS (don&#8217;t take too long though)</strong></p>
<p>Before I even know it, there seems to be a solution. Finally the answer is out. They&#8217;ve found the solution, none other than one of the crazy gang in Langkawi. None other than our very own <strong>eyebrow guy</strong>, our <strong>Aaron Braces Guy</strong>.</p>
<p>Look what he did to save me?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2168" title="AaronWoolala With Seducing Tshirt" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/aaron-t-shirt.jpg" alt="AaronWoolala With Seducing Tshirt" width="432" height="650" /></p>
<p>What a good plan. A good message to send. Hee hee hee&#8230;. (<em><a title="AaronWoolala Langkawi" href="http://aaronwoolala.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Aaron </a>don&#8217;t kill me also</em>).</p>
<p>So there we have it, photos to see how much fun we had in <strong>Langkawi</strong>. There are lots of other photos which I haven&#8217;t finished uploading and I believe Facebook will be having loads of it. To end this <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">hilarious</span> make believe post, I shall present to you a photo, with dialogue amongst the people who went with Daniel to Langkawi.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2170" title="Busy Scene Act in Langkawi" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/busy-scene-langkawi.jpg" alt="Busy Scene Act in Langkawi" width="670" height="445" /></p>
<p>What a day we all had!</p>
<p>Signing off now. It&#8217;s 2:33am.</p>
<p>Never thought that I could conjure something up like this, but that&#8217;s where my weirdness come into place. So do stay tune in the coming future for more posts from the Weird One. Adios.</p>

<p>The smell of the sea, the sight of sun, beach and girls. This sentence reminds me of baywatch (<em>some old series that I used to see when I was like in primary school</em>). Well, too bad though, there won&#8217;t be any baywatch girls to see this time around. Keep it for the next visit. This time though, it&#8217;s time to revisit my past escapades to an island in Malaysia,<strong> Langkawi Island</strong>. The place known because it&#8217;s tax free.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2152" title="Langkawi Beach" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/atmosphere.jpg" alt="Langkawi Beach" width="431" height="670" /></p>
<p>First day upon landing at Langkawi with my flight ticket, it is as usual with a bunch of photography enthusiasts, non-stop shooting. The sky was partly right, with a bit of haze on some of the days.</p>
<p>It was scorching hot, but you will see many foreigners (from the west) do their <strong>sunbathing</strong> under the glorious sun. It was so bright and hot, there are even those who have their skin peeled off. Wonder how they can stand sunbathing under the sun with peeled-off skin and all the pus?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2155" title="Lonely Beach Volleyball Sand Court" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/lonely-surrounding.jpg" alt="Lonely Beach Volleyball Sand Court" width="670" height="436" /></p>
<p>It was too hot, till no one plays at the beach volleyball court. Well, what can one expect when it&#8217;s like 11am in the morning. Most of Day one was spent taking photos of scenery, looking for a perspective to shoot. At times Daniel wished he owned a UWA (Ultra Wide Angle) lens, let&#8217;s say a <em><strong>10-20mm Sigma</strong></em> to capture the great scene.</p>
<p><span id="more-2151"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2157" title="Sandy Stand Langkawi" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/sandy-props.jpg" alt="Sandy Stand Langkawi" width="445" height="670" /></p>
<p>Having to make do with what he has, that&#8217;s the best he can offer (<em>Well, that&#8217;s where the ads in here helps to contribute to this fund</em>). Seemingly, being <strong>Daniel&#8217;s first time on Langkawi island</strong>, he expected  the sort of island like Redang, Perhentian and Lang Tengah only to find that this island is drivable. Well, of course if one doesn&#8217;t count Penang as an island though. The sea might not be as blue, might not have load of corals but the one thing Langkawi has got to offer is the <strong>duty tax free on it&#8217;s alcohol beverages and chocolates</strong>.</p>
<p>Back to the point, you never know how crazy one looks at different things while taking photo of objects and things. Surprisingly, sometimes certain things which are common are such good things to shoot at. Take for example the following picture.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2154" title="Fire Hydrant" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fire-hydrant.jpg" alt="Fire Hydrant" width="445" height="670" /></p>
<p>Yup, it doesn&#8217;t show anything it&#8217;s got to do with Langkawi, but took this just for the fun of it.</p>
<p>Too bad Daniel can&#8217;t really recall the name of the specific places in Langkawi, but pictures taken are meant to be shared for viewing. Of course remember to give credit where&#8217;s due.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2156" title="Resting Place" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/rest-place.jpg" alt="Resting Place" width="670" height="430" /></p>
<p>But looking at some of these photos would not tell you what or the beauty of Langkawi. They are merely landscapes of location which one has got to experienced it on their own to see whether it was all a gimmick or not.</p>
<p>To say the least, this trip was made possible due to <a title="Satkuru" href="http://satkuru.com" target="_blank"><strong>Satkuru</strong></a>&#8216;s help and with the co-ordination of <strong><a title="Jess the Blur" href="http://jesslim.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Jessica The Blur One</a></strong>. It&#8217;s already 1:43am and I am still wide awake writing this nonsensical post which actually has nothing to write about but just for looking thru the photos.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2153" title="Langkawi Bridge Structure" src="http://danielctw.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/bridge-structure.jpg" alt="Langkawi Bridge Structure" width="670" height="427" /></p>
<p>To some it&#8217;s like a different side of Langkawi. People keep relating Langkawi to beaches. Daniel instead decided why not include the whole package altogether.</p>
<p>By the way, there are more photos to be viewed. To see more of it, visit my <strong><a title="Facebook Langkawi 2009 DanielCtw" href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=98098&amp;id=639313790&amp;l=ccf2bbd064" target="_blank">Facebook Photo Album Here</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Guessed it&#8217;s time to sign off. It&#8217;s getting late. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>*poof*</em></span></p>
