Popo the Penguin Does Langkawi

Over the weekend, i brought my penguin, Popo (well he's not actually mine and i have joint custody of him but thats a different story), on holiday to Langkawi.

First, let me establish how small Popo is.

It's important to wear your seat belt for safety.



Now everyone can fly, including penguins.


Azmi, our car rental guy, tells me that 'penguin' is 'pingu' in Malay.


Popo befriends Shane, the Bon Ton dog.


Popo befriends a cat at Bon Ton.


Popo wanted to go for a swim while i was drinking mojitos with Wijay and catching up on the latest Langkawi gossip.


Nithi gives the best Ayurvedic massages. Nithi likes Popo.


Jeffrey owns the Sun chain of bars/ clubs / restaurants / resorts on the island. He likes Popo too. Says that Wijay is jealous of Popo.


Popo posing at the pond at Sun Sutera. Isn't it pretty? He's such a cute penguin.


Popo faints after eating chocolate lava cake.


Finally Wijay is high enough to take a pic of Popo and i with a smile.


What we call 'nasi lemak 50sen' now costs RM1 in KL. But we don't call it 'RM1 nasi lemak', do we? But u can find 20sen nasi lemak in Langkawi. And Popo is hardly bigger. Hey! This means that Popo is bite sized.


We go island hopping and Popo goes for a swim. He's good in back stroke. He can also dive and wake board. Videos of that later.

Now Popo is 706 metres above sea level!


Popo goes home with a friend, Nithi Junior. Thanks Nithi Senior for the big pingu! Bet Wijay will be shaking his head if he reads this. Popo and Nithi Junior will be pooling together to buy you a ticket to watch Happy Feet. They're asking when u wanna go?!
