Cameron Highlands (Day two) MILE

Day two in Cameron is probably our last day in Cameron Highlands because the next morning we descending down to KL =] Hahas =]

Our tour guide was a very informative guy =] Explained and elaborated to us about each and every part of Cameron Highlands =] Seldom tour guides will interpret until so clearly -.- Never mind =] We visited a total of Five parts of Cameron =] Basically all farms XD Very balmy weather =]

First we headed towards the rose garden =] We saw different type of roses and we saw a green rose which is the ugliest rose in the universe =] Interesting =] Various Species of flowers were only available to be seen in Cameron and not other places.. as the climate is cold, flowers bloom very fast =] It is all natural =] No preservatives and colouring added =] Hahas =] Very nice scenery across the sky =] The tangy blue can only be seen overseas and not Singapore =] Quite strange =] Honestly speaking, Malaysia has very huge spaces to develop =] Lots of land that had not yet been used =] Given to us(Singapore) we will be so delighted =] So there's room for tourist and the locals to stay in =] Singapore is a congested city =] Oh yeah, this rose garden is in Brinchang because it is upper region so it supposed to be colder =]

Next we visited the strawberry farm =] hahas =] Their strawberries are super juicy and fragrant =] Cameron do not export their strawberries to other country and not even to KL =] So it would be unique XD The strawberry milkshake is quite tasty but I don't like milkshakes so did not really enjoy much of the milkshake =] The strawberry sundae there is wonderful and sensational =] Very yummy =] It has been the Must visit farm in Cameron XD

Next we went to Tea plantation =] Woohoo =] Seen how they process the tea leaves into tea sachets =] Very simple process yet complicated to collect from the tea plantation =[ It is 20,000 odd hectares... Huge terracing plantation =] Only on Tea leaves so imagine that lol X.X The workers there earn only 44 ringgit per day -.- Yet they are still very grateful for that =] I bought some tea home =] For my parents to taste =] Their tea and scones there are very tasty =] especially the TEACINO =] It is very light and taste a little like cappuccino =] Hahas =] I bought one bag of it =] Pretty expensive but to us, cheap -.- LOL So Singaporean -.- Considering we bought so many stuffs back =]

We visit the butterfly farm next =] We held various insect and it was quite ticklish -.- I weren't dare to hold the scorpions because it is just to scary -.- They also have huge millipedes =[ EE ! Their collection of snakes there are ! Oh my god ! their body was translucent ! EE ! Did not like that part =[ The butterflies are nice =] Large butterflies =] Some pitcher plants there -.- so some insects probably got killed by the plant -.- My friend stepped onto one butterfly it made cracking sounds ! EE! So crunchy -.- Haiz... probably not one of my favourites =] But it is good to explore =]

We proceeded on to our last destination which is the Bee farm =] Honey bees ! =] Buzzing around =[ I was wrong, there were not a single bee out in the farm -.- Probably all staying at home hibernating =[ The hornets are trying to kill the bees -- =] hahas =] I bought some honey back home =] XD Heard it helps to reduce several problems =] Even ulcers can be cured by using their honey =]

We went back to the hotel and rest =] Exhausting =] We planned to take the 1 day trip next time round =] Looking forward to the next trip to Cameron =] Arh, next year must focus =] Fun later, work first =]

That's about it =] KL trip, I won't be posting =] Hahas =] I slowly going to post my normal day post =] Hope you guys enjoy reading =] Any problems tell me on my Chat box =] Hahas =]

End with a..... SMILE =]

Cameron Highlands (Day one) =]

Today woke up at 11.49am XD I was quite tired actually though I slept at 11pm yesterday X.X Does not matter =] Apology for the late update of my blog =[ I am going to start on Cameron Highlands =] Basically I went for a trip to KL and Cameron was part of the destination we planned =]

We stepped in KLIA( KL international airport ). We were so confused because the sign boards were particularly useless for directory .___________.ll The airport was only single level so it seems dark in the morning and even worse during night time X.X Never mind, we found our way at last =] Seeking help from the customer service to get us to the arrival hall -.- She pointed at the aero-train X.X Which is the Skytrain to another building LOL. Feels a little strange as Singapore we do not have to ask for any help because the directories comprises of four different languages .____.ll Never mind =]

We got to the arrival hall finally =] Got out of the airport and proceeded on looking for the driver who is taking us to Cameron highlands =] We finally found the driver and continued our journey up the curvy and swirly road in Cameron =]

On the way up, I was quite nauseous -.- but did not puke =] I bought some sweets =] Once I had something to chew on, I will forget about the nauseous thinking =]

We finally reached our destination ; Tanah Rata =] This was the place where we stayed in =] It was so cold that hotels don't need an air conditioner -.- Our air-conditioner was the surroundings =] It was colder than ordinary hotels =[ My friend caught a cold =[ I had to take care also because once both of us is sick, that's it lol =[ Later went down to take our dinner, the food was so-so only -.- The service quite terrible but never mind =] We planned to take a half day tour for the following day =] At night, the weather cools down, temperature drops tremendously -.- Freezing ! Luckily brought along my jacket XD So we took a stroll down the streets of Tanah Rata =] It has rural buildings so I quite like the place =] I am sure the locals are happy living in Cameron =] We ate at the Hong Kong restaurant =] It was actually steamboat hahas =] Yummy ! The soup base taste wonderful =] After our dinner, we walked down the street deeper and slowly got a little hungrier -.- The coldness will cause our energy consumption to spike greatly -.- So we stocked up our food so that we will not feel hungry at night =] We saw starbucks -.- My friend was quite upset to the fact that since this entire town is rural, there shouldn't be any urban buildings around -.- Brinchang was the upper part of Cameron ; that's where all the urban buildings are constructed =] Understanding of our perspective, we prefer Tanah Rata since Singapore is already urbanise =] hahas =]

That night was pretty memorable night =] Laughed and played throughout the night hahas =]

Batam trip: Day 3(Final)

The third day probably nothing much to post on. Agree ? I hope so. Never mind, here goes :

Batam Trip: Day 3 (8th November 2009):

Last day of the trip, nothing really much to post except for the wonderfully long reflection session. It was great actually =] Kind of enjoyed it =] I got to share all my thoughts and feelings towards this trip =] At least I was able to make a contribution to my team =] I wrote the pros and cons on Batam Living Condition. There were a lot to say actually =] Majority towards cons on Batam Living Condition as to compare with Singapore =] So all the pros probably on Singapore =] I guessed so =] We were all gifted to be Singaporeans =] Just that Singapore don't have much natural scenary... Mostly artificial x.X As long as the water is clean and the air is fresh, no complaints =] Hahas =] Singapore a very congested city X.X Batam very spaced out =] Plenty of space waiting to be developed into something beautiful =] Milford represented for our team =] His words are clearer than those express students X.X

I was enthusiastic upon the following destination =] SHOPPING MALL ! I need to spend all my rupiahs X.X It was quite a difficult task because I did not see anything that suits me or caught my attention -.- In the end, just bought a T-shirt, wallet and some accessories =] Cool =]

After the shopping, we proceeded on back to Singapore =] Again, thank god ! Reason being I could not really withstand the air quality there, bus exhaust that distinguishes carbon monoxide... DIE really !

The ferry was stabler than the one before(the one going to Batam ). They were selling some food and beverages in the ferry.. So many of them queuing up to buy some snacks for them to munch during the journey back X.X I slept peacefully throughout the entire journey back to Singapore =] Reached finally =]

That's all =] Thanks for your perseverance upon reading my post =] It's over =] NO MORE ! XD Coming up on my trip to Cameron Highlands and KL =] SOON! =]

I end of with a.... =] Smile~
