Yes yes I have not forgotten about this finale post I promised 😀
 

Here are the prequels – Part 1 & Part 2 and now finally, the closure!
 

Pretty timely, if I do say so myself. Hiak hiak hiak. 'Cos we're featured in The Star newspaper recently!

  Jason and I got a byline for our photographs too!
 

On the final day, Ian, Ivy and I accompanied the BRATs to Satu Suku Surf School. This is one of the only properly established surf schools in Malaysia. No joke about that, for behind these walls are the coaching grounds to Malaysia's #1 Surfer! 😀
 

Satu Suku Surf School!
 

The school is usually very busy with ongoing lessons and whatnot on certain months of the year, when the tide is high, wind speed and especially when the monsoon season isn't looming with danger.

But when we went, it was closed due to the heavy storms and monsoon winds approaching
 

But these fine young fellows opened up the school just for today's session!
 

(READ: Just for us) 😀
 

They were very accommodating and informative! Thankfully, the BRATs didn't have a hard time interviewing the boys.
 

Explaining the basics of surfing and how they begun
 

The BRATs even got a chance to know how surfboards are made and which were the ones most surfers prefer in terms of ergonomics and aerodynamics :D In Satu Suku, Billabong is their main sponsor!
 

Learning in progress! Do. Not. Disturb.
 

The boys shared simple tips, tricks and their signature moves as well!
 

Wah so engrossed with your work! *claps*
 

Meet Muhammad Daud, affectionately known to all as Mamat!
 

Such boyish coy looks 😀 Awwwwwwww.
 

Mamat just outside Satu Suku's porch
 

Soon, we decided to continue the session on the beach instead. The seaside view looks so much better on video! Plus, the lighting is  waaaayy better too. Don't they look so much better in their element?
 

Surfboards, skin tight surf suits and the sea
That what makes a surfboy!
 

Sharing session continues! 😀

One of the best parts of today was that both Mamat and Shukri loves being in the center of attention! 🙂 They really seem to enjoy being interviewed, even sharing light moments with us along the way.
 

Malaysia's #1 Surfer lookin' all regal atop his "throne"! 😀
 

He lived in Australia for a good number of years training himself surfing

and even came back with a slight Aussie accent!
 

When he was looking all relaxed and calm here, check out the opposite side of the table 😀
 

Behind every news story, a dedicated team of workers is at it with sweat and toil!
 

While they were at it, the seniors and faciliators were just making sure everything runs smoothly and the recording equipments were well taken care off. We gotta make sure the BRATs are on the right track in getting to their angle of the story and whatnot too!
 

Towards the end, *inserts random camwhore moment*

Tinted the piccie with a slight tinge of yellow for an old school feel
 

It began to rain midway! 

Yet the BRATs wanted to finish their session first!
 

Come rain or shine, the show must go on

Gotta cap the camcorder lest it gets drenched with rainwater

Finished the final bits of the interview and that's a wrap!
 

Camwhoring with Mamat under the rain

omg my hair looks so damp and flat 🙁 🙁
 

Alls well ends well. Aside from a good story, I'm sure we've got pretty fond memories of these 2 beach boys!

For they were nothing short of an amazing duo of good fun, information and humour!
 

Back at the hotel meeting room, they worked on their news materials before the presentation the next day 🙂
 

They all did a pretty swell job, as a result of the 4 whole days at this young journalists camp.
 

FINAL DAY!

credits go to the BRATs who put up the pictures they took with me on Facebook 🙂

I stole! I stole!

On a random note, I find this BRAT below very cute!

Doesn't she look adorable? Her name is Kimberly & has a nickname of wasabi or somethin' liddat 

Oh lots of you have been asking me about my godawesome BB casing & cover 😛
 

it's all dressed up by www.blackberryhousing.blogspot.com

Have fun shopping for your BB's wardrobe!
 

Right before we all adjourned back to KL in The Star van, we somehow HAD to stop by beach again for some McD lunch!

Oreo McFlurrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy is love
 

Heyyy!
 

How was your weekend everyone? 😀
 

I headed back to give my family a visit and while I was browsing through some piccies, I realized that I long for another well deserved holiday so much! Well, MATTA Fair will be up and running next week and I just can't wait to choose the awesome packages there.
 

So lemme recap my weekend in Langkawi with the boyfie Josh some time back 🙂 Realized that I haven't blogged 'em yet!
 

Departed from Swettenham Pier in Penang Island with the ferry.

Camwhored like crayyyyzeee!
 

When we reached, the first place we hit was the beach! 😀
 

And decided to photobomb each other in the midst of narcissism
 

it wasn't planned! Bwhahaha
 

What a coincidence
 

Fast forward!
 

After playing in the sand like lil kids, it's time for some extreme sports 😀

Motorboating yo!
 

That thing can go almost 300km/h yo

Took a ride! The seas were vicious but we still managed to squeeze a piccie
 

Thankfully, the speedboat didn't topple over!
 

We were speeding ala too fast too furious! Right in the middle of the rough waves
 

Take a look!

Josh superfreaked out lest I drop the camera into the deep depths of the sea

Nyehehe
 

But I didn't lor!
 All safe and sound
 

Here I am acting all macho like I own the waves!
 

Bwaaaahaaha 😛
 

All done with riding the seven seas :P
 

What an adrenalin rush!
 

This overdue holiday was done at the start of 2010!

That time, my red highlights of 2009 had faded off already
 

Let the rain fall and wash away our writings in the sand!
 

Chilled out more at the beach and walked along the stretch of bazaars! I went absolutely bonkers shopping for sun dresses, bikinis, hair clips and whatnot!
 

And then nightfell. Had a good night's sleep back at the hotel
 

And before we knew it, it was the next day! A whole new day of activities lies ahead of us
 

Went for a traditional Chinese massage!
 

I did the reflexology! Ima fan of foot massages, in fact in every island I visit, the reflexology is a MUST do! 😀
 

Here I am getting tortured LOL

When you're laden with stress, I'm certain it'll hurt pretty bad!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsBzVcGo5HM
 

And here's Josh getting himself tortured as well
 

I mustered whatever Mandarin I can to get the masseur to massage him harder! 😛

Did some shopping and dinner thereafter
 

Awwwwwww adorable max!!
 

And how can we forget, chocolates!
 

Here are some of my faves… Guylian's seashells

Dinner at a seafood restaurant! Langkawi's pretty fehmes for its seafood
 

Loved the Pineapple rice there too! We had calamari, fish, soft shell crabs and much more

Our last night at the beach.
 

Thought it would be nice to sit warmly by the bonfire

And it was huge!!! 😀
 

Not to mention extremely glaring too
 

A beautiful arsenal of fireworks made their way through the nightsky

The display lasted for almost 5 minutes!
 

Headed off to the Bird Paradise park the next day
 

So much birds! I had fun feeding 'em too

Cockatooooooooooooo
 

And it was time to go off already!
 

Time seems to stop whenever you're on a holiday ey. 🙁 🙁
 

Goooooooodbye Langkawi!
 

We'll be back again for the fun, the booze, the beach and the seafoooood!

Short weekends trippin' are the best way to renergize yourself for a brand new week ahead.
 

This year, I'll be heading to Pangkor Island, Tioman Island and Bali if everything goes smoothly as planned!

*crosses fingers*
