[Travel] Cameron Highlands/KL Day 3

Day 3 was upsetting cos we are leaving! our next stop is KL whereby we’re taking train instead of bus back to SG. was excited until…

Photobucket

last day of hotel breakfast, i make sure i eat to my full. as usual.

after breakfast we walked about our hotel as we’ve never had a good entire look/exploration at it yet.

Photobucket

garden area

Photobucket

the suite! i hate them cos they'gt heater and we dun have! =(

after this short tour and photo taking, we went back to our room. the strawbies that i bought the prev day which i deemed it smell nice and must taste yummy too and i got to slap myself at this, cos it’s not sweet at all. hai.. just not the season..

Photobucket

anw, it became frozen strawbies, definitely not my intention

and i dun reckon there’s freezer in minibar right? or am i wrong?

Photobucket

mr tey is god damn nua, he just lie there all d while. ohyah, yakult freeze.

after an hr or 2 of rotting, we bathed, packed and go. I believed we wanted to go to Restaurant Kumar to have our lunch as we’ve read good reviews from the net. But Sri Brinchang restaurant is damn good at pulling customers that we’ve got no choice but to settle there once again. hahhaa. but the food is awesome!

Photobucket

teh halia again!

Photobucket

egg prata

i asked for egg prata when im supp to ask for kosong, probably its the last day and im more than depress as usual. hahaha! i eat more when im depress. so the last day was pretty unhealthy!

Photobucket

maggi goreng

i missed eating maggi goreng so much, esp whenever i thought of the one i ate with selynn baby, it was so good. im going back for more. anw i dun like this maggi goreng, it taste like mee goreng. im disappointed. :/

Photobucket

there's also herb naan and masala thosai. SUPER FULL + BLOATED. sinful max

after lunch we waited for our bus at this tourist area which i forgot where isit. it’s 28rm per pax for the bus trip to KL! By UNITITI! i think its under TiTiwangsa too! I swear we were both giddy on the bus, turns and more turns. but we manage to fall asleep, at least for awhile. Throughout this journey, i spotted huts and landslides which were scary, the landslides..

we reached KL sentral about 3-4hrs later if im not wrong.

Photobucket

settle at this chicken place which i wont go back again

i dont remember what’s the restaurant name! argh.
before that we were searching for a good and cheap restaurant for dinner, not to forget healthy eating. And to Simon’s amazement, i actually suggest that i want to eat Mac’s. I think im pretty depress still HAHA.

So he had his milk tea which tasted instant BUT d shortbread was good.

Photobucket

our meal. pathetic small drumstick i have. the boy even got more wedges than me! how unfair! *sulk*

we laughed at our dinner and both agreed that we wouldnt come back again. L.O.L
after dinner we walked around KL SENTRAL and settled at starbucks for awhile, redeem a venti drink from the lucky draw we won at TaNahRata.

Photobucket

cocoa cappucino we had and we still prefer cappu

about 11pm we took our train. I doubt there’s photos of it. It’s a small room with upper and lower deck mini beds? LOL the first thing we get into room/place or what sorts is to check for bedbugs! They are extremely grossed and we cant stand that especially he had a v bad experience to start with. And he sprayed insecticide HAHAHA especially for bedbugs!

LOL I guess it’s going to be a norm for us to bring begbug-ticide wherever we travel to in future. cos bedbugs really freak us out, and i believed it freaked everyone out as well!

The train journey was rather crap and I wont take train anymore. There’s a last minute notice that we have to alight at Kluang (which is near JB, but first is this the spelling?), and changed to a bus and take a train again, and the train that we are going to take its not going to be the one we book but a normal, old one. haiii… and i saw 3baby cockroaches during this journey and it’s disgusting.

The whole journey took about 10hrs?

But overall it’s a awesome experience because it’s my first time travelling to highlands, first time drinking teh halia, and first time taking the bloody train. :D

going back in aug/sep period for real hiking and hopefully i would enjoy the bugs/insects and whatever there is to come. :O

[Travel] Cameron Highlands Day 2

Cameron Highlands day 2! and I realized i havent update my hotel fort canning part 2 wth! i need to blog abt cameron first before i forget the sequence of the pictures.

but honestly i actually alrdy forgot. hahahhaha!

Anyway on DAY 2 we woke up at 4+am! We booked a tour guide to bring us up to catch sunrise! 65rm per pax. I think it’s quite expensive eh. Somemore we didn’t see any because it was raining the night before! But it was a really fantastic experience for me, it was so cold and scary up there in the mountains, i cant see anything!

The package included breakfast which consists of a strawberry muffin (mmm, yum), a sandwich and a bun/bread roll. Of cos not forgetting tea! The tea really helps to warm us up. It’s probably about 15degree that morning and I swear im so cold i lose my sense of balance. It’s unbelievable how Simon can survive with only short pants. Damned.

Mr Tour guide says if we climb Mt Brinchang we would need to be on fours. Okay im rather stress. But going back with my buddies in september to climb on fours would be better. i guess?

Photobucket

Mr sun why u no come out ? :(

Mr tour guide took a few photos, this is @ the tea plantation area. He can use the camera flashlight better than mr simon himself. The camera flash just dont like mr simon mayhap?

Photobucket

freezing like mad. probably about 15degree or under.

Photobucket

haahha mr sun forever hiding

Our initial plan is to go to the tea plantation cafe and have our 2nd breakfast there. But mr tour guide drove us back to our hotel! It turned out that the cafe opens at 9am and we are too early so we decided to eat our 2nd breakfast in our hotel.

2breakfasts in a day, how not to be bloated? Especially when I spam the buffet.
Back to hotel we had a short nap. woke up and off we went to catch the local bus.
From what we know, the local bus should come at every 1hr interval. But we wait close to 2hrs! Mr simon read the reviews of the bus before, they drove by their own timing. So if they think they wanna rest they will go rest lor. -.-!

Before that at Sri Brinchang restaurant, it’s an indian ‘coffeeshop’. Erm we are at TanahRata not Brinchang

Photobucket

my first time drinking TEH HALIA! OMG SHIOK PLS

im not a milk person becos im lactose intolerant. soooooo thats why im so fascinated with teh halia :D

took the bus and we alight at the area near honeybee farm cos we missed the stop ahhaa. but nevermind we can always go to honey bee farm first! nothing special inside, maybe cos the honey bee maze is closed? But i dun wanna try lah i dun wan to be stinged :X

Photobucket

I think this is taken by Simontey when i came out of the toilet or... aiya stm la me.

The most special part about HoneyBee Farm is Simontey and me eating icecream! know why? his teeth is sensitive to icy cold stuffs. And we are both freezing that’s why i dare him to eat icecream HAHHAA. look at his jiaobin ;x

Photobucket

well im happily enjoying, i like icecream in super cold weather i realized

Photobucket

this place looked familiar... er?

we walk walk walk and walked to tea plantation. we wanna go to the cafe for the famous scones and coconut tarts!

Photobucket

the signboard always tricked us!

everytime you see they put a certain kilometre, you probably have to multiply it by 2 or 3. then that will be the actual distance!

Photobucket

MAG.NI.FICENT

Photobucket

hey there! the hill is so steep in some parts, i wonder how they work!

Photobucket

farfaraway i see my cafe. drooling in progress.. so paiseh tey just told me this is not the cafe is some random mansion hahaha! OOPS

Photobucket

why do i look so sian?

i probably am thinking: WHEN CAN I DIG IN? IVE WALK SO MUCH I WANT TO EAT NOW!

Photobucket

coconut tart, dun rly like it. i only love the crumbs. i love the crumbs of any and every pastry!

Photobucket

a pic taken by my new galaxy s2 limited ed pink! HOHO

Photobucket

everytime we see the dark clouds we feel sian. Mr tey took a few pics and we walked around after that, we quickly rush off.

Photobucket

BYE BOH TEA CENTRE! i miss you!

Along the way down the hill, I kept mumbling to Mr simon and myself, WE HAVE TO BELIEVE TEA PLANTATION, IT WILL NOT RAIN. i dun mind if we wear poncho BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE ROAD IS DAMN NARROW. we might just fall and roll down! den is really G.G.

When we finally reached, it havent rain, thank tea plantation!
You remember i say we took the local bus after waiting for 1hr plus? Mr tey says we have to go back by the local bus as well. We bought strawberries from one of the stalls there and they smell really yummy! smell only ah.. -.-

We waiting for the bloody sickening bus for close to 1hr, standing there like an idiot. Luckily there’s this nice man who drove the titiwangsa tour van who approached us and offer to drive us back to Brinchang! OMG haoxingren leh!!

Inside the van there’s another 2tourists who happened to be a old couple, they are so sweet when they bickered hehe. They are from sarawak. The tour guide also tell us that we can actually approached any drivers on the road and show them the direction we want to go, they will help us if they are on the way. ermm. Mr Tey will never approach people.

Back to Brinchang for dinner! No more steamboat, we are damn bloated.

Photobucket

I wanted sweet and sour pork! and tey said the serving will be small. this beer ribs even more smaller lor! but okay lah the taste, damn hard!

Photobucket

my fav hotplate tofu. small serving also

Photobucket

dou miao!

after dinner and some walks, we took a cab back to TanahRata. The cab fare shd be 5rm if im not wrong, but we always kenna charged more.

Miss Cameron Highlands so much, especially the food!!! The jam, toast, scones! steamboat. argh!

Photobucket

back to hotel! i cant rotate the photo. zzz btw notice the 2moles on my forehead? they're gone! :D

im glad i dun need to rely on contact lens anymore. ive got perfect eyesight and my eyes are rather big so why shd i waste my money? :D but maybe one day i will want to wear cos of the colors! ive got many contact lens solution what the hell shd i do with them???

[Travel] Cameron Highlands Day 1

This is my personal space, I blog because i love and not becos of other reasons. I will not let blogging stress me out anymore. :)

and today here you go, CAMERON HIGHLANDS DAY 1! We stayed at Century Pines Resort. Simon chanced upon many bad reviews about this hotel after we book, so we had really low expectations of the place, but surprisingly, it’s pretty decent, and I think maybe other visitors are too ATAS?

Photobucket

Photobucket

we r super cold

Photobucket

near our hotel

Photobucket

Photobucket

settle our breakfast in a random cafe

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

tho the food's not awesome but the jam and butter on toast is good almost anywhere!!

Photobucket

we spent about rm25 here

Photobucket

we got ourselves coffee but i forgot what isit. cappucino?

Our purpose here is to walk walk walk and walk, hike hike hike and hike. trek trek trek and trek. so our first hunt was Parit Falls. Saw some minor landslides which was amazing as i’ve never been up close to them before. But of cos I didnt mean that landslides are amazing lah! lol okok ignore me.

Photobucket

before that we got to crawl under fallen log!

Photobucket

Photobucket

TOTALLY CREEPY!

We actually WALK from TanahRata to Brinchang. Far. But we love walking.

Photobucket

TIME FOR DINNER!

Photobucket

I wanted steamboat so badly, and we walked around TANAHRATA to hunt for it. and finally we found this! btw Brinchang got more food and definitely more steamboat restns!

We had yuanyang steamboat. Chicken soup and tomyam soup as the base. The tomyam is the dope! and I think we only spend about 12-14rm for 1pax? Super full from the food!

Photobucket

Day 2 we went up for sunrise. And make a guess, do you think we caught the sunrise? :)
