I am back from my 1 week trip to the North!

Langkawi
I went there for the LIMA 2009. The aerospace exhibition was below expectation. The maritime exhibition was not bad because I like those yachts! Someday when I am rich, I am going to get myself a yacht to sail on sea.
Beaches in Langkawi were not that nice. I guess most of the ocean in Malaysia got polluted. I like the Tasik Dayang Bunting. It is a Geoforest Park. The view there was nice! I was like in the nature embrace! A lot of monkeys too. A lot!!! Those monkeys are friendly.
Took cable car in Oriental Village to go high up the Gunung Machincang. This cable car has been certified by Malaysian Book of Records as The Longest Free Span Single Rope Cable Car (919.5m) in the world! The view up there was so amazing! I like the hanging bridge! When the wind blew strongly, the bridge was shaking! It was so cool!
Perlis
Do you know that Perlis is the hottest province in Malaysia? When I was there, it was almost 34 degree celcius! It was so hot until I got sun burned and my skin peeled! My skin is recovering now but still looks terrible.
The sugarcane plantations in Chuping were amazing! Large scale of that! It is own by FELDA (Federal Land Development Authority). Whole piece of the land covered in green, nice!
Kedah
Muzium Padi – all about padi. The interesting part was that there was a painting on the wall showing the padi farm in Kedah. Those paintings look real!
I went to the birth place of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and also Rumah Merdeka which Tunku Abdul Rahman always been there whenever he returned to Kedah.
Penang
Toy Museum – to preserve the museum, I think they should renovate it. The museum looks to me like going to collapse at anytime. I have many toys too. Maybe someday I can have my own tiny toy museum too. Lol!
The grand opening of the octagonal pavilion of the Goddess of Mercy at Penang Kek Lok Si temple was on 6th of December. I was there on 11th of December. If my trip was earlier, I won’t get to see the huge statue if the Goddess of Mercy and the nice pavilion!
