Our Langkawi Journal.

Salam everyone.

I'm back to blogging after having enough rest and ample time to do the laundry, meeting up with the family members, so on and so forth.

We arrived at home on Friday at 1 pm. We were very lucky this time because we manage to get the earlier (return) flights (and the hot seats too) and did not wasted out time at the airport. Our flights were rescheduled during departure for 2 hours later and the officer was kindly restructure the seats for us. But for our return flight, we have to beg the officer. I would say that the officer was nosy and arrogant. He didn't even check in the system for available seats and instead gave lame answer that says, any reschedule must be done in 48 hrs before take off. Only after the third time, he refered to his female boss and with just one glance, his boss said yes. Lucky us but i am still mad at the guy officer for being arrogant.









Everything didn't work smoothly as we hope because Sarah is suffered from Diarrhea on Tuesday morning and I doubt she ate something unusual the day before. She poop every 2 hrs and it was very hard for us. We had to check her diapers every now and then because we are very afraid if her bum become itchy and reddish and that is the real nightmare when she wouldn't stop crying.

The first day, we checked in at the hotel and took a rest and studied the map. We did strolled at the beach in the afternoon and Sarah was afraid with it as the waves moving towards her. Maybe she thought that the waves wanted to eat her feet. She screamed and cried so we left the beach for the pool. We especially me had fun at the pool. But poor my husband because he has to be with Sarah all the time since she only wants him to accompany her. My husband did not get to enjoy his moment at the pool all four days. We monitored that she didn't poop for more that 5 hrs so we thought everything was okay.







During the night, Sarah poop every 2 hrs. We quickly change her diaper and wash her bum and we saw her reddish bum. Great! The nightmare has begun. The next day, we checked for nearest clinic after breakfast. One thing about Langkawi that I didn't like was, it was hard to find a clinic and most of the clinics operates in 9am to 5pm basis. We found one, Klinik Delima at Padang Mat Sirat but the queue was so long and we waited for more than 1 hr because the doctor hasn't in yet. We just left the clinic and decided to find one at Kuah. But we didn't find one. Sarah didn't poop during the day and she cried during diapers changing when it contacts with water. I know, it's very itchy. Poor my baby.

Later in the afternoon, we found one near Pantai Cenang but it was closed. I couldn't bear to see Sarah because she's so weak, she's dehydrated and didn't eat much and just consume plain water and FM only. I saw one pharmacy on our way to Pantai Cenang and decided to just get her medicine there. The pharmacist prescribed her with a cream and a soluble drink. and this is the best part that I wanted to share with all mommies but maybe some of you have discovered this cream. The cream worked like magic. We applied it on her bum and in less than 10 hrs, the reddish was gone. And Sarah didn't cried when we touched it. All this while, we have tried many creams and many ways to treat the problem but to no avail. Be it the cream prescribed by her paed, tepung ubi, rash powder the Agnesia and so on, which usually took 3-4 days to be cured. But not this one, so mommies go get this cream at the nearest pharmacy but please consult with the pharmacist first and use it as per recommended.


The magic cream that heal her bum in less than a day!

We started our island hopping really late but it was okay. We didn't plan to have water activity very much and cruising the lake and any related because (we thought) it wasn't suitable for us. There was not much places of interest we went but we had so much fun. Let the pictures do the blogging. ;p



The porcupine reminds me to my lidi mengaji long time ago.


I think the underwater world is not worth paying for. ;(


We arrived at Geopark at 8-something and waited to ride in the cable car only later discover it starts at 10 am. We did not want to wait and just left the place.


We bought this 'piring' during our visit to Makam Mahsuri. Since it was windy, i asked the adik to take our pictures for many times due to my senget tudung. The adik quit pissed off with me (too bad) and even pissed more whe she read " YOU KNOW YOU LOVE ME", loudly printed on my tee. Ngeh ngeh ngeh...


The private beach at Langkasuka Resort was nice so does the room. It reminds me to Swiss Garden Resort of Kuantan.

I really love the food in here. The above was just among the food we had. Everyday was a seafood day and sangat-sangat cheap. I really recommend Restoran Haji Ramli near Pantai Cenang. Marvellous foodies

Overall holiday was really great. We relaxed, woke up earlier than at home and eat as much as we want. It is okay for us for not going to many places because the most important thing was Sarah has recovered from her itchy bum. I bought lots of choccies for family and friends. We will definitely come again next time and surely will save to stay at better resort. Next aim is Pelangi Beach Resort Deluxe. We fell in love with it.

On our flight to home, Sarah was actively panjat memanjat and peeking to other passengers.
We've done the laundry on the Friday itself and I already finish fold them and ironing my office attire.

I am so rejuvenate.
