Something bizarre happened when I woke up, I could barely see anything! Obviously it was dark, and I didn't have my contacts in but that was normal. There was just something else not quite right. I got up and walked towards the light switch whilst asking Sarah and Masa if they could take a look at my face. As I turned the light on, they both gasped and put their hands over their mouths...that was comforting! Masa then said 'oh my god, your eye!'. I ran over to th...

Sarah went to Starbucks for breakfast while Rachel and I went to a local Malaysian restaurant, then Sarah joined us after. Masa's flight was delayed so we waited until 12.30. Once she arrived, we headed to the motorbike shop to get a moped each. I felt more confident driving here as there was h...

We were already tired by the time we got to Langkawi so we headed to a Starbucks in the Jetty Port to ...

We woke up with the plan to have a beach day and didn't fancy the breakfast that Uncle had to offer in the hostel so thought we would head to a little bakery we found yesterday. Uncle was very persistent and would not let us leave the hostel without having breakfast so we had to come up with a plan to get out of it.
