SunSet at Langkawi


Langkawi SunSet

Beautiful? Yes it is but was heavy hearted when taking this photo.

The memory is still fresh in my mind. The day began with a sunny day, however, it rain in the afternoon and the sea was choppy. As a diver, I learned to respect the sea. Thus, i have told my colleague it's not a good day to swim in the sea.

Later in the late afternoon around 4pm, we were partying & drinking at the poolside bar. Suddenly, I heard my colleague saying that someone drown. The first thing that come to my I have to do something. I quickly ran over to the beach and i saw a group of the hotel employees looking down at a person body.

When I reach to the side of the victim, I tried to perform CPR on him, hoping I can reprieve him. I called out the the employees to call for ambulance. When I am about to give him mouth-to-mouth, i can see clearly foam has formed in his mouth, nose, ear and eyes.

Suddenly, there's a hand landed on my shoulder. I turn back and saw this huge guy shadowing me from the sun. He told me it's pointless to continue CPR on the victim because he had tried earlier for 5 min but he was unable to reprieve the victim. With a heavy heart, i decided to stop, knowing the victim has already dead. We cover the victim with a towel and left the scene.

Back to the poolside bar, my colleague and I continue to drink but the image of the victim has lock in my mind. I pretended that I am fine until the sun set, i took out my camera and shoot it. That night I have problem sleeping as this is the first time i came so close to a dead body.

The next day, we found out that the victim was an employee of the hotel. May he rest in peace.

Lame Trick Works Well

Next time, if you wanna know a gorgeous stewardess, read on.

Some time ago, a friend told me that he and his buddy was on a plane to Langkawi. They saw this pretty and gorgeous stewardess who they wanna know. Thinking out of the box (which they did everyday in the office), they take out the vomit bag and wrote:" Hi, I am XXX from sit no. 16c. Can I know you?" When the stewardess walk pass, they throw the vomit bag onto the floor and true enough, the stewardess pick it up and walk toward the back of the plane.

At first they were disappointed as they thought the stewardess did not respond to the message. However, right before the plane landed in Langkawi, the stewardess approached them and ask:"Did you actually mean for other passanger?" She continued saying:" If yes, she will help to pass to the passanger." My friend was shock and said:"No, it's meant for you." The stewardess just smile and walk away.

Not giving up, they took out a second vomit back and wrote down their handphone number. Right after the plane landed, before they depart from the plane, the pass the vomit back to another stewardess and told her to pass to the pretty stewardess. End of story? No way. To their supprise, the stewardess actually called them and now they are good friends.

I asked my friend, this lame trick (throwing vomit bag) actually work? He told me that the stewardess told him that "This is a new trick she encountered because everytime, most people pass their name card and she is bored about that. Vomit bag something different"

Try it out next time if you on the plane and if you wanna know a gorgeous stewardess :) good luck!!!
