Day 1 @ Cameron Highlands…After all efforts in arranging a family trip to Cameron, finally we made it! Haha! :D There, we went to Cameron Highlands on the 24th of June, 2009. Early in the morning, we drove up to Cameron Highlands through Simpang Pulai, which is known as the “new” road heading to the highland. When we were almost reaching the Simpang Pulai toll, we stopped at the R&R. It’s the first time for me to actually stop at the R&R as every time when we go out station, we don’t need to stop at the R&R at all. LOL… I didn’t know that the R&R is actually quite well maintained.
This is me posing with our car while resting at the R&R… LOL… camwhoring…
We took a total of about 3 hours and 45 minutes to reach the Brinchang Town. Once we reached Brinchang, we pumped petrol at the Petronas Petrol Station. At the moment I step out from the car to pump petrol, OMG, I love the climate man! The wind blowing is so cooling! My mind was thinking, wah, it’s been so long I’ve not experience cool weather in KL, it’s time for me to enjoy the weather there!
Then, dad called his friend who owned a few holiday apartments in Cameron Highlands and there we got a unit to stay. LOL… Our apartment named Desa Anthurium Apartment.
We found our block and then went into the unit of the apartment. Haha! First thing we did was to see the view at the balcony. Look, we haven’t even put down our bags. My sis is so proud being a Sunway Tes ACCA graduate. She’s the one using that backpack instead. LOL… I used my own backpack which I got it when I went to my China trip last year.
After having lunch brought from home, we went around the town to visit all the places of interests. And we found this place… I came here to take photo when I was 5 years old which was the last time we went to Cameron and now after so many years, I’m here again! LOL… :D
After that we went to see strawberry farm. Goodness! I tell you what, Cameron people are crazy over strawberry. Every farm will not forget planting some strawberry no matter what farm they are majoring in. Even when I pass by those souvenirs shops, I could only see thing with strawberry. Crazy! Luckily I don’t dream about strawberry while I sleep after seeing so many strawberries.
This is me at the flower shop. The flower looks awesome but I don’t have much interest in them. I still prefer animals… LOL… :D
We went visit the Bee Garden where they rear bees to produce honey.
After that, we went visit the Water Crest Valley. The water crest plantation was so awesome! We need to pay RM1 to visit their plantation.
Our next destination was the Rose Centre. I won’t name it as rose centre if I am the proprietor, honestly. I would name it as flower centre. They have all kinds of flowers rather than just roses. But, undeniable, the roses there are different from what we normally see in places selling flowers and also they are so big and are almost the size of my face. LOL…
Then there, they have a wall where all the horoscope sculptures located. And this is mine – Gemini!
After visiting Rose Centre, it’s almost dark. We went over to KFC to buy our dinner. LOL… Not forgetting about strawberry in KFC again!!!
We went back to our apartment to have our dinner. It’s raining outside and the funniest thing happened… Mom and sis were freezing cold… Dad started to feel cold after his bath… He was shivering. LOL… I was the only one don’t feel cold until shivering, even after my bath. Haha! I’m STRONG!!! LOL… :D When I was visiting different places during the day, there were many people who looked at me in a weird way. The weather there is so cooling and many people actually wore jackets with scarves but I wore like I’m in some places with hot weather. LOL… I’m an ALIEN!! :D
After dinner, we watched TV. Haha! Luckily they have TV there and so I still get to watch 《溏心风暴》. But after that, I felt so bored when my parents were watching 《火蝴蝶》. I looked at the mah-jong table at the side of the living room and I so wanted to play but we didn’t bring our mah-jong set. I felt so regretted for deciding not to bring my laptop along with me to Cameron to play games. Sigh. Luckily is just one night.
Before I sleep, I got the whole control to the TV. Haha! I watched programmes on Astro. I watched the preview of 《ID精英》. Haha! I don’t know why, no matter how cool and yeng 郭晋安are in this show, I still find some 阿旺feature in him. LOL… Maybe it’s because that character is too good and it’s always in my mind and therefore how my impression on him. LOL…
Day 2 @ Cameron Highlands…We woke up at around 7am in the morning and took some photos before going to the town to have our breakfast.
My breakfast – Curry noodle and Coffee…
After our breakfast, we went back to our apartment to wait for the uncle, who is the brother of the owner of the apartment we are staying to bring us to the vegetables farms. He drove an old land rover to bring us there. OMG!!! That was an awesome experience to sit on that kind of land rover man! Nobody would have ever got the chance to sit on it if you don’t know people who have it.
This is how the truck looks like… We are supposed to sit at the back of the truck where he uses it to carry vegetables and also soil and fertiliser etc, etc.
OMG!! The whole journey to the farm which is located at the top of the small hills was a damn good experience. The road to climb up the hill is so narrow, steep and winding. It’s not even a road. I would like to say it as a pathway instead. It’s quite frightening especially when the truck moved so fast and we were almost being bounced off from the truck. But I just love the experience in it man!! It’s so exciting!! For instance, I thought of wanting to walk up the hill instead. It’s a cool way to trek on. LOL… Good exercise too!! :D
It took us quite awhile to reach to the top of the hill and there… Finally!!! We reached! It’s the cabbage plantation!! Whee!!
This is the uncle who brought us to the farm… Uncle Looi…
This is the strawberry farm. My goodness! It’s so much bigger than the one I visited in day 1! I pluck so many strawberries to eat. Haha! :D They are all so sweet!!
After visiting all the farms including cabbage, daisy flowers, carnation flowers, “Siew Pak Choi” and strawberry, it’s time for lunch! That uncle brought us to a restaurant next to KFC to have lunch. LOL… He belanja-ed us… Thank you, uncle! I feel so fun and happy while going back…
These are what we had for our lunch… haha! :D
The last but not least place visited after lunch, the "BOH" tea plantation. That place is the most amazing place to visit. You could see the hills around the area are planted with tea leaves. They are really awesome man!! There’s a bush walk area for visitors to walk along and go to the tea centre. Nice place! Nice place!
As we leave the place, we saw people in the plantation to collect tea leaves… Cool!
Haha! What a nice trip to Cameron Highlands. Although they are mostly plants and flowers which I don’t really favour, but I enjoyed the trip well, especially on the second day! It makes me feel like I’ve been a hiking. LOL… :D I wish to go to Cameron Highlands again! The next time I’ll be going to hike Gunung Brinchang! Yay! Uncle Looi has promised to bring me to Gunung Brinchang! Whee! ONG!! I can’t wait for my next holiday!!
