Cameron Highland with family ~ Day 1

* Sorry ya… this was quite an outdated post… totally no time edit my pictures… although I just add frame, signature & resize them.. yet there were quite a lot of works need to be done… this was one month old post :P *


** Pictures were all taken by my Sony TX1 … lazy bring my D60 :P


Journey started by me being the driver of this trip… drove all the way up to Cameron Highland using Simpang Pulai exist from Penang!!! Erm… actually everytime if I go Cameron normally oso I drive ei la :P Went there so many times also I drove ei… nothing special liao :P


This round went with family except bro-in-law didn’t join us cuz he was on his company trip to Medan (so niceeeee) …. So whole car all ladies + my naughty+cheeky Darren :)


We reached there almost 12 noon cuz Darren puked in the car … erm… cuz he kept bouncing around in the car then beh tahan n vomit … >.<  Then after that he tired liao ma si fell asleep lor…



In order not to wake him up… I have to keep driving >.< So ended up the first stop was at Cameron Valley on the far far end (After Tanah Rata one)…



It was drizzling at the time we reached…


We will have to take turns to wait at our car cuz Darren was still sleeping at that time…


So we got to take turn to snap pic as well :P   After awhile Darren woke up.. we got to snap pic together!



Next… it’s lunch time~! We stopped our car at our hotel and walk to the nearby coffee shop for our lunch…



It was situated at Brinchang town… there wasn’t many cars or people in town at that time… oh~! cuz it was Friday! lol…



We ordered vege + rice…


Then… time to check in our hotel ~ Hotel Rosa Pasadena…


Personally I felt this hotel quite nice… cuz it’s in Brinchang Town and I have stayed there twice d… so far nothing to complain la.. this time the room was bigger compared to the last time when I stayed there with my besties :)


Another reason for choosing hotel in Brinchang is because I wanted to go the night market… the last time I stayed at country lounge (also in Brinchang Town) was totally a bad experience… the heater spoiled.. the room very small and old… yucks… not a good idea to stay there…


Since it was still early… and Darren just woke up not long ago… we went for our next stop ~ Big Red Stawberry Farm nearby our hotel… but still need to drive there la cuz it’s not within walking distance :P


See how cheeky Darren was when he was there:


Family pic without me :P


Darren enjoyed himself very very much… he saw this ball throwing machine… insisted on playing and we bo juat have to let him play.. else he will be throwing tantrum >.<


I saw this nice hat there everytime I went Cameron.. but I never have the thought of buying it home… just want to snap pic :P


Saw similiar hat at another shop… so excited have to camwhore :


We ordered drinks there and enjoy the nice weather there.. so relaxing…


Mine: Stawberry Hot Chocolate

Sis: Fresh stawberry juice
Mom: Butterhead juice ~ very refreshing and nice… but a bit bitter… I saw they actually mixed the juice with sprite to make it tastier … niceee…


And Darren definitely enjoyed himself to the max with his stawberry ice-stick:


I love Big Red Strawberry farm most cuz of these hydroponic vege~!


The best thing was… these hydroponic vege was soooo freaking cheap!!! I can get RM 5 for 3 big bushes… whereby you can only get 2 mini-bush-packed-in-a-box for RM 5 in Cold Storage/Jusco. Damn ex la! Opps… my auntie instinct came out d… shhh… don’t tell anyone I’m so auntie :P



But then… for real la… these vege quite worth the buy lo… but then remember bring ice box up to keep these vege.. cuz they can spoil very easy once reach our normal temperature =____=||| whereby mine spoiled all for our fridge too cold >.<


After this… we went back to our Hotel for nap… I thought of going to the night market for some snack.. but then raining… >.< so I oso nap la :D


We got ready by 6pm… went for our dinner first before we headed to the night market…


Our dinner ~ Definitely Charcoal Steamboat buffet~!


It’s only RM 12/pax… I also ordered Carlsberg… shared with mom & sis… steamboat + Carlsberg + cold weather = niceeeee to the max!


Check out Darren’s expression throughout the dinner:


Night market time:


Sold lots of things… from dry food to clothes, to stawberry, to cactus, to vege, to fruits, to toys, to….. etc… etc….


Oh ya~! Do bear in mind that this night market only opens on Friday and Saturday.. .. if you plan to pay them a visit, make sure you do it on Fri/Satur…


Oh oh! Check out real auntie a.k.a my mom in action ~ Choosing orange potatoes :P


It was indeed a tiring day… we all slept at 10pm … phew… totally dozed off once I hit the bed :D


Stay tuned to my next day in Cameron… I will bring you to the best tea plantation in Cameron ~ SG Palas Boh Tea Plantation~! Best in the view & best in the winding road (need to have very good driving skills) :D

My Cameron Trip with Besties

Went to Cameron with besties on 7-Nov-09 … so long didn’t go on a holiday trip with them… actually I wanted to go Hat Yat.. but Lam Lam went there like thousands times d…so… I suggested Cameron to them… both Lam Lam and Sher never been to Cameron since primary school… well.. I went there a couple of times d.. mostly was for their cheap vegetables + flowers… hehe….nothing much to see there…


Serviced my car for this trip… cuz mine was d newest of them all :P but the stupid EON Service cost me a fortune… T.T … totally broke before going up to Cameron… *sad*


Anyway… it was a good day to go Cameron… Sun shining brightly… only drizzling the whole day… no heavy rain pour…nice enough :)

The funny thing was that… both Sher & Lam tried to pluck one of the flowers back to Penang cuz it was really very special…but they couldn’t find the root of the flower… lol…


See them in action:

Vase @ Cameron

#10 Vase + the fake fruits Lam Lam bought for her new house… :)


Cameron Flowers 2

#11 More flowers and cactussssss…..super nice… but I didn’t buy it…cuz when you bring it back home.. it will eventually die…or the vibrant colour will fade away… sad…


Nice Flower @ Cameron

#12 Love this shot very much… the flower also very special.. like combination of orchid +pitcher plant.. niceeee


We even stopped by bee farm… but I just couldn’t find a way into the bee farm after they have renovated the whole building.. it became more commercialize… >.<


Me @ Cameron 2

#13 I just managed took a picture of myself with the swing @ Bee farm… noting much to see *sigh*


We reached Brinchang town around 2pm with all the stops… then found our Hotel -> Hotel Rosa Passadena


Hotel Rosa Passadena @ Cameron

#14 Nice hotel… they even have rooms for 3 .. cool! Include 3 buffet breakfast only RM 210/night…not bad lor… We booked direct with the hotel without going through agencies.. which will be much more expensive… I checked online d :P


>> Another good things bout this hotel.. it situated in Brinchang town and it is a walking distance to the night market… cool isn’t it?


We walked to the shop in front of our hotel for our lunch…


Cameron - Lunch

#15 Very the expensive la! And the shop keeper cheated us on the vege…she said is asparagus.. which turned out is just normal long beans… >.< This meal cost us RM 40 >.<


Me & Lam @ Cameron 2

#16 With Lam Lam during our lunch…


After lunch we rest in the hotel cuz too tired d… and we were getting ready for the night market! Yipee!We didn’t go to Tanah Rata cuz it was quite far…  :P


Cameron - Sher & Lam

#17 I have to say this… both Lam Lam and Sher acted like aunties in this trip… I had a good laugh… they bargained, they chose the best deal… lol… really need to choose the best…but cuz there were too many stalls… so they just bought when they felt like buying.. didn’t really compare.. but the way they choose the fruits and potato really funny… lol…


We just simply bought some food from night market as our dinner… and we slept at 10pm ok?! So tired… lol..


Oh ya! We ate jagung for our dinner also.. Lam Lam wanted to steam her jagung cuz she didn’t want to eat it fresh .. whereby Sher and I ate the raw ones… this only applies to Cameron Pearl Jagung ya… don’t try it on normal jagung.. later you “lau sai” or stomach ache I don’t know :P


New way of steaming Jagung @ Cameron

#18 New way of steaming jagung when you don’t have a wok .. lol…


Next day we woke up quite early.. around 7am… >.< Gosh! Both of them couldn’t sleep… so we went for an early breakfast…
