My N-times visit to Langkawi

At the beginning of the semester, my friends and I were planning for a graduation trip, however, due to the number of people involved, it ends up to be hard for everyone to satisfied and join for the vacation. Therefore, end up, only a few leftover willing to join me to Langkawi island during the study week time. So, it become not really a graduation trip, but a simple trip for rest and celebrate end of our final year project.

I don't know what to describe on the overall trip, a simple trip that doesn't have much to show off, but still a platform for me to take myself away, to know more about others and also myself. 

There were different definition for a vacation, I was aiming for a totally rest, get ready for my novel and mask but end up neither of them are used. One expecting for exploring more places there but lack of time, and others were the first time there. There is one that I never expected, I have been to Langkawi for a few times, but this was totally a different one. 

First time, I was a primary school kids, went for a holiday with family and daddy's friends, stay in a chalet, shout like a happy kids and kept on asking for carry on back of the adults. There wasn't much images left in the memories, it was the first time I learnt to swim with the lifebuoy, taught by the tour guide. First and the last time I saw the coral in natural with my naked eyes.  

Then, I went again during my primary school graduation trip. One touch-and-go trip. I remembered the image of the statue of eagle and that's all I can remember this place. There was about one-week-trip with my classmates along the West Malaysia. The one and only memory of outing with them. I wasn't close enough with my primary classmates, most likely due to I just get to know them for the last two years and I was too busy to catch up my study especially the Malay and English which were nightmares for me to overcome; my position in class was too awkward, I am an outsider, yet often given the chances to represent the class because of my outstanding sister. That was my thoughts at that time, I am a shadow of my sisters, if it isn't because of them, I am a nobody. 

Therefore, I had my rebellious period to chose the road which are different from them, and keep looking for a self-recognition. Although it end up that I am still coward, who tried to live as a parasite. I realized that the confidence level goes down as time goes by, but I was just trying to hide the truth and avoid to face it.
I was lucky enough to have the courage to go for the second audition for the choir team, and there, I have met a lot of people who have changed my life; the teachers, seniors, friends and juniors. It also the reason for my music background and also giving me the chance to mix people. I enjoyed the crowd and also the stage.  

There comes the third time I visited the same place, after won the first place for choir competition. We get to go for a trip to Philharmonic Orchestra and Langkawi at a subsidized rate. I remembered the guy friend who are afraid of sitting the cable car, most probably due to his overweight-sized body that he afraid the cable car cannot withstand him. We laughed at him although we were best friends. 

The moment of winning for a competition and 

you know you will have a good trip with your best team.

Last year, I won a free trip to Langkawi again, I was expecting a relaxing trip there, however, it ended up as a tiring trip because of my sister. I let her to decide where to go as she just went to the same place not long ago. I thought it should be just a trip for seafood and chocolate, maybe with a bit of alcohol, but sometimes, people always wanted more, she requested to cross the border to Thailand. She found the ways but our holiday became a tiring trip for travel, we took a flight to Langkawi, sat on ferry to Satun,Thailand, then a long way to reach Hatyai. It was much tiring from just taking a bus or van from any place from West Malaysia to Hatyai. Until today, I still don't get the reason of those, a simple trip became so complicated. But it was a trip I first time started to open my mind to talk to my eldest sister, to inform her what I thought, which it later changed some situations, which I am still doubt that content was right or wrong. 

This time, after considering so many places, my friend and I have decided to visit the place again. The place was still the same, but the people accompany me were different. There are different thoughts that appeared along the trip, we had a lot of sharing along the three-day-two-night trip, there is soon enough for another farewell in life. All I wanted is just a simple trip to hang around with them before we say goodbye.

Thanks for being such a good friend to me at this moment of life. I don't sure whether there will be another trip for us to gather together, but I confirm that each of you will remain in my memories for my best years in university. 

When glance back, we are really people with totally different characters, there is no explanation for us to become so close together, thanks for becoming the brothers and sisters who always supporting me. Say CHEERS!
