Cameron Highlands

It has been 2 years since the last time I set foot on Cameron Highlands. There were plans where Fang Chin and Co. were heading further north towards Penang on the very same day. But the Cameron Highlands trip was booked way earlier. Though the food in Penang is always appealing to my stomach, but family comes first. Paiseh.

And of course, Malaysia had some notorious weather for the past few weeks.

Just to give u a picture how Malaysia's weather is now! Pic taken a year ago while on the way to Kuantan

Malaysia now is as though being the conventional microwave oven! One doesn't have to think about going all the way to a beach side clad in bikini or hawaiian pants and get yourself tanned there. Alternatively, you can just lie down at the frontyard topless and enjoy the sunlight breeze. Minus the sightseeing. For girls though, don't do anything indecent to find yourself uploaded in the youtube.com website. Heh.

As though God had a will to fumble with Malaysia's thermostat, upon reaching Cameron Highlands, the whole family were expecting cool, refreshing breeze, cloudy skies and a slight covering from the clouds floating around.

Did I asked too much from Him??

I certainly didn't think so! It was raining as we ascend the newly built highway. Oh raining is normal in Cameron Highlands but certainly not if it's raining for like 6 hours non-stop??! Already deprived of entertainment, the weather sure has enjoyed keeping us confided in our apartments! And it rained for two days!

The apartment where the chill still penetrates in. Wait a minute, is that a TV??

Yes! A TV!! Came all the way from Klang just to watch TV! Brilliant idea. Masterfully done! TV without Astro = no TV. Fortunately, this one HAS Astro. Once you get Astro = Live broadcast of the World Cup 2006. At least I'm not THAT bored for now!

Night time is a blessing for us. As the rain finally stopped and we got our arses out of the apartment and went for a stroll at the Brinchang pasar malam. Bought lots of vegetables and mushrooms for the night time's steamboat. YES! LOTS OF VEGETABLES! And of course, strawberries!

For the sake of camaraderie, and this one looks frightfully sour.

If eating at Cameron Highlands doesn't involve vegetables, I would honestly say that one is going into a big fasting mood. After all, vegetables are good for you aren't they??

Hint: There are certain people whom I know that doesn't appreciate vegetables as much as I do. :)

On the third day, the weather has switched once again. From the blistering cold to the usual Cameron Highlands sunshiny morning as we stroll around Kea Farm to get MORE VEGETABLES AND STRAWBERRIES to enjoy them back in Klang.

Blardy hell! Where did all these people come from?!

Traffic congestions are a norm especially here in Kea Farm. Further enquiries revealed that Singapore had holidays so there were many of them out there seeking bargains and had better skills than the Malaysians. Heh I wonder why. Nevertheless, we were there to relax so I rest my case here.

Yes, It is HOT there! Thus the ice-cream. And I'm obsessed with Orange!

After all the groceries and relaxing at the apartment, we checked out and head towards home! To face Klang's grueling heat this soon, I would rather stay on in Cameron Highlands. Financially and timing however, did not permit to do so. Some other time, perhaps eh? With friends the next time? Not a problem for me!

Gosh. It's 6 in the morning already. Guess I should just get a shut-eye and join my bro for bakuteh at 9.

Finally with pics, shin reporting in from home.
