* now with video!
thats just superman's version of "strawberry park" pronounced with an indian accent lar.
Hai. Gems is giving me a headache leh... just before i left and straight after i came back it's been nawing at teh back of my neck! I got into Etiquette class but it's on a wednesady:( very very very sad leh. I'll appeal for a change!
Anw Cameron was fun:)
We arrived on monday morning around 6.30am at Brinchang (small town) on the way up Cameron we saw the full constellation of Scorpio... Did practically nothing except sleep thru the afternoon and enjoy the hotel room. Hehehahahah! Oh ya went swimming in the indoor pool - had the whole pool to ourselves:) For dinner, we took a really nervous and uneasy ride to town. why? because according to the F up hotel staff it costs RM20.. but when we got down the driver only collected the standard RM10!
LOL. Anw, we had steamboat for dinner! Awwww maaaann... the weather there is perfect for steamboat lor:)
Then on Tuesday morning we went for a Nature Discovery tour... Superman said the most enjoyable part of the whole trip came from this: the short hike thru the Mossy Forest (took amany nice photos of you leh! hahahaha) and Gunung Brinchang which was 6,666 feet above sea level - highest point of Cameron. My favourite was at the Tea Factory la.. beautiful landscape of the natural surroundings and also beautiful architecture of the visitor centre man:)
By the time this ended, it was time for lunch at the town... I had Wat Dan Hor and he had Yee Mee plus a cup of coffee which had a taste of cocoa which he didn't like but i liked. hehee
The best best best DAY of our trip i would pick Wednesday which was the last day... W is for wednesday is for "WOW!" man! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Firstly in the morning we didn't have to rush to catch the 9am country side tour coz we requested for one at 3pm instead:) 2ndly for the breakfast we got a balcony seat! mind you, there only TWO balcony seat in the restaurant and the balcony opens up to an amazing view of the mountains and valleys and birds and insects fly around you freely and there's fresh and cool breeze in your hair... HARHARHARHAR ---> victory laugh sia...
After enjoying our long breakfast we retreated back to the hotel to relax and Orr-orr again until it was almost time for our 3pm tour... when our driver finally arrived about 30mins late, boy, we were the only ones he was chaufering! SO, we got our own chauffer!!! Wahahaha! we called the shots regarding which attraction to go:D basically there was still a list to abide by but the driver was still very accomodating:) Oh ya, according to superman, our driver looked like a certain "celebrity" whose name is unsafe for me to mention... hahahaha:)
The best part of this tour was the strawberry farm... Strawberry milkshake: Mmmh mmh! If spm had the stomach i would have ordered fresh strawberries with yogurt and strawberry ice-cream waffle TOOOOOO! But he said, "If you can finish by yourself, you can order lor." BOOOOOO... :P The rest of the tour consisted of honey bee farm and butterfly farm too.. i still rmb the robotic greeting phrase of the honey bee farm owner... :D
Final stop was back in town again for dinner. This time we had Zi Char! WAaaaa really sumptuous spread for just 2 persons... the grreat thing about having Zi Char in M'sia is that it costs the same in S'pore, except it's in RINGGIT! Anw, we ordered Gong Bao Chicken Slice, Claypot Tofu (ALOT of Liao4 inside one!), Belacan Cabbage and Pickled Vegetables w Pork Soup.. and oh ya one pot of Ju Hua Cha... And all these costs... RM37! Less than s$18 for two persons wor!!! Shiiiok:)
The Handicraft Stop was finally open that day and by the time we were done shopping, it was slighly after 8pm liao... it took quite awhile to catch a taxi back man... OK OK here comes the best PART of this trip (apart from getting to spend it with superman la)....
On the way up, I noticed how clear the sky was! In malaysia, clear night skies equals to skies filled with stars! When we reached the hotel I asked the taxi driver to drive us str to our block instd of stopping at the lobby like the past few times... Waited for spm to hand the driver RM10 before stepping out of the taxi...
I looked straight up to admire the sky and a shooting star flew by! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! YES! I SAW A SHOOTING STAR! AHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Then I grabbed spm and started screaming, "WO KAN DAO LIU XING!" x2
LOL, then he said "shhhh.." looked around, "you saw it too?" hahahaha. i just if everynoe staying around our block understood chinese, they would be running out of their rooms by then.
So, afetr that, even tho it was the last night and we were supposed to pack up and sleep early, we dashed back in to put on more clothes (also becos spm need to use the loo) and went back out again. we sat on top of a ramp at the playground and watched the night sky in hope of seeing more shooting stars:) but naa miracles don happen twice in such a chort time frame:)
Instead we managed to spot Gemini, Virgo, Canis Major, and not forgetting Venus and old friend Orion:) Of coz there were a few other bright stars spm could name but i forgot what they were:P Did you know, the same patch of sky that we can see in S'pore might reveal 3 stars... but that night, there was easily 300 stars visbly to the naked eye in the same patch of sky:) And did i mention we witnessed the entire process of the moon rising by a cliff too:) Extremely memorable night it was:)
i saw a shooting star....
