AJ’s Sweet Escape

Everybody could use a holiday. And since I’m just like you (only more fabulous), I hauled my ass up North to the duty free beach paradise known as Langkawi, where I met one of my friends whom I haven’t seen in a while- 1d. They say Langkawi is made up of 99 islands in the sun, but I really was too tipsy to notice.

I didn't see any skulls on the beach, but the water looked just fine...

Lost In Translation
One the funny things about Langkawi is the unending list of legends associated with the island! Maybe the locals are very into the whole ethnic-goth culture or they simply like story telling but there seems to be a drama, I mean legend behind almost every place. Most of the names like fields of burnt rice, seven wells, mashuri’s grave & wet rice beach are all sweet & nice. But there is one beach called Pasir Tengkorak, which translates into Skull Sand Beach. Doesn’t it paint a beautiful picture in your mind?

Wish you were here Slutboy, you could have had this one...

46 Flavors & Counting
Funny chocolates, icecream, seafood & ciggies weren’t the only things on the menu. More like seefood. I saw hot shirtless men of all nationalities! Koreans, Japanese, Africans, Europeans, Americans, Latinos, Arabs, the works! No, I didn’t get any action (but i managed to snap some shots). Seriously, like straight men watching lesbian porn, it was more of a spectator sport. Shirtless & cute, all of them were traveling in small groups or paired off with women. But if it is any consolation for not being there, there was this one guy playing volleyball, let's call him Mr. Bouncy Butt, in the most obscene orange G-string ever. His butt wasn't that bad, just that I saw too much of it. Why are the bad G-strings always orange?

The nice gentleman in the orange G-string is your's Carnie, I'll take the one in the blue shorts.

...You never know what you’ll get!
It doesn’t just apply to chocolates (of which I had many), but cutesy pre-mixed drinks in cans & bottles. I’m not sure what the crazy Japs mixed with their fruit juices, but it sure as hell tasted fun. There was even one which I swore was apple beer! If they can come up with raw fish roe spaghetti & potato pizza, why not apple beer?

The hotel from the water, ain't it pretty?

Mandarins Are Fattening! Let’s Share Half!
As cheap drunks as we were, 1d & I decided to try our very best at finishing a 1 liter bottle of Absolut Mandarin (we only made it half way). And in case you ever do fly to Langkawi & come back through the LCCT, take note, the CUSTOMS NEVER CHECK BAGS! Yes! Bring in as much as you want!

I managed to get back in touch with my artistic side. What ya think, is it, er, goat?

The Most Effective Diet Ever- The Monkey Diet
Don’t worry you won’t have to swallow any monkey brains (unless you want to). What happened was, whiles we were busily playing in the water on Beras Basah Island, a pack of evil monkey made off with all our snacks & apple juice. The smart bastards actually left the water & vodka in a mineral water bottle! Some how they must have known if they took the vodka, I would hunt each and everyone of them down. Slowly grill them alive & feed them to the jelly fish…

All cooked (totally no alcohol involved, lol) and passed out on the beach!

Doing A Lindsay Lohan
I was so distracted by the whole monkey episode (or just too plain drunk) that at one point I actually took a swig of vodka in the mineral bottle thinking it was water! Yes, just like Lindsay Lohan & her bottle of ‘mineral water’. I was giggling on the beach for no apparent reason constantly, luckily my company didn't complain.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. Do pamper yourself with a trip somehow or other. And always remember as my wise philosophical friend said, you have to be here to get there.

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way

Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
Coz both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said...
Oh, my God

Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something
It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking the and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride
