Above SEA LEVEL

Talking bout Cameron Highlands... there are only 3 things...
VEGETABLEs, FRUITs & TEA...
This holiday, i'm goin above SEA level...
Recently went to Cameron Highlands... Frm 21st dec. to 24 of dec. ... Went there for 3 days & 2 nights...
Yeah, it definitely feels good to be able to take in some fresh air after tat f#*king SPM...
Go there lepas stress sikit... SYOK...
Me & my family went there with some of our close buddies... All together 4 Families...
Yeah, we always sapu the whole restaurant when we go makan... & the tauke there will be very very happy... Lol~

We started our journey at 8 am. , thn reached there at abt 3 something... 
MAN!!! The road up-hill was like a snake... turn here turn there... 
Dizzy like hell... 
But the good thing is tat the weather keeps getting colder & colder...
& the scenery keeps getting nicer & nicer...
We even spotted some pondok orang asli on our way to the peak...
But didn't spot any traditional orang asli... I mean those wearing leafs only...


                    Pondok Orang Asli

After a few hours of turning & turning... 
We finnaly reached the place tat we would stay throughout the trip... It's an apartment, the owner bought tat apartment n always rent it to tourist like us... 
Of course, it is not as comfortable as Equatorial Hotel lah... but at least its big n the price is affordable...
For 4 families, we rented two of the apartments... One is bigger, one is smaller...
When we 1st reached there, the weather is very cold... Wat's worst is tat i nvr bring many long pants & jacket... Damn, i will be an ice cube at the end of the trip....
Thn, we brought our things up... We stepped our bare foot on the apartment's ceramic floor... 
Holy #*%@! The floor was as cold as ice... lucky thing there is a carpet for us to rest our feet...

                The apartment we stayed at
  
We hav nothnig to do at 1st when we reached there , so we watched 'Surf's Up' on astro... Lol~
Thn at night, we went for steamboat... Tat night, it's raining there, damn cold... u can still fell the cold eventhough u have wore layers n layers of shirt & jacket... There's nothing better thn a hot steamboat tat night... Syok giller!!!
After tat, Pasar Malam... eventhough it's raining, we still went there...

The nx day, we 1st went to a temple... thn we to a plant nursery... There are plenty of plants nursery there... but we only visited 1... 
There are many types of plants in the nursery...

        Some of the flowers in the Nursery


                        Cactus

Thn, we went to a pasar pagi... U can get almost get anything frm there...  Souveniers, Vegie, Fruits, Foods & many more...
Our parents were soooooooooooooooo bz buying tis buying tat... Until the whole car is full...
After tat, we go makan...
Thn to a vegetable farm...
We hav a small kid (Maybe smaller thn my little bro) to be our tour guide throughout the farm... He's awesome dude but damn active... the farm is sooooooooooo big n we hav to fasten our pace to keep up with tat kid...
Here'r some photoes...

                                Kubis

                          Weird Cili Padi


            Red Juicy Tomatoes

Buddies who went to Cameron Highlands together with me. (Sohai-ing)


The small kid in front wearing light blue shirt is our tour-guide. (He damn like to pose, if i hav more of his photoes, u will noe wat i mean)


I hav a chance to try harvesting kubis... but only 1 kubis... Lol~

The Kubis and other vegies tat we harvested of course we bought it down... Some we got FOC lah... SO, we hav lots of looooooooots of vegies...
After tat, we head back to the apartment...
Tat night, our parents cooked... Lucky thing not all vegies... 
Thn we makan together...
After makan, our parents planned on goin to another pasar malam...
Keep 'pasar malam-ing' only......
But in the end, only our parents went... & as always, bought lots of stuff back... but always the same stuff...
vegie, fruits, kuih, vegie, fruits, kuih... but tis time got some souveniers lah at least...
All the young ones stayed at the apartment & doin the same old thing they always liked to... DoTa... Lol~ They purposely brought laptop there juz for this...
Damn sienz lo, besides also a little bit tired, SO i slept...

3rd & also the laz day...
We woke up, brush up, hav our breakfast, thn packed our things & checked out of the apartment...
Gotta say bye bye d... 
but b4 heading back, we went to MARDI Cameron Highlands...
Yeah, Malaysia Agricultural Research & Developement Institute... 
The thing tat we used to learn in Geography or Sejarah... Dunno which one d lah...  Even if i Remembered it oso wan to forget it for a while... Nd to clear my mind for sometime after tat S... Dun wanna talk abt it d lah...
OK... Back to my trip... 
Er hem...
As always, lots of looooooooooots of flowers, trees, blah blah blah...
It's all about nature in Cameron Highlands anyway...


            Some of the flowers in MARDI

                           Local Apples

                           Local Grapes

                           Strawberries

One thing about MARDI is tat there are lots of flowers there, but nt all are open to public...
Thn, during holiday seasons, strawberries were so little because all were plucked and sold...
Somemore, we nd pay for these... It's juz not worth it...
WTH...

After tat, we went to BOH's Tea Farm...
It's was huge... a few mountainS of tea trees to be exact... more thn 5 mountains i think...
BOH sure earned lots of money...
We explored the tea processing factory... there are lots of machines there... but all nt functioning... It's juz like seeing replica... Boring~
But the food there is OMG, delicious... sandwiches, apple pies, strawberry pies, lime cheese cake... & nt to miss, fresh brewed natural BOH's tea (Without tea bag, straight used tea leaf, juz like chinese tea)... Emmmm~ Delizioso......
Besides tat, we also climbed to the peak of one of the mountain in BOH's tea farm...
The scenery is of course awesome...
The wind can blow u off man... it was so so big, the wind... 

                       BOH's Tea Farm

                   Tea Processing Factory

                    Little bro

                  Second bro

                              & Me

It's almost the end of the journey... B4 heading bk home, we stopped by a small vegetable farm... AGAIN... & bought some vegies... AGAIN...
Thn stopped by a roadside shop, to buy fruits... AGAIN...

After tat, It's the end... We head back home...
It's sure a joyful trip...
Cameron Highlands is sure a peaceful & serene place to visit...


Maybe this post is a little bit too long... For those who finnished reading the whole post frm start to the end, U've got determination... nt bad...
Lol~
Till nx time... PEACE yo!!!
