Another Peak To Conquer

25.12.2009

Frankly speaking, it was my first trip to Cameron Highland. Okay, laugh as hard as you can now. I know it is a bit ridiculous, but that's the truth. I've not been to many places in Malaysia, the only domestic trip I remember is the Sabah trip when I was Junior 3. Well, I don't take Genting Highland and school/clubs related camps into account here. :P

Back to the story, we left home around 11 o'clock in the morning. Seriously, I didn't know that the journey to Cameron Highland actually takes 2.5 hours, not to mention that it was a public holiday, so many people were heading there as well. Massive traffic on the highway was expected, and I was right.

Stoned for few hours in the car, and we reached our first destination of the day. No, it wasn't Cameron Highland. We were killing some time at the Lata Iskandar Waterfall, which is located between Tapah and Cameron Highland. The waterfall is very obvious, I can say that it is impossible to overlook it when you're heading to Cameron Highland from Tapah. By the way, it was pretty crowded on that day, but worth paying a visit though. :P

Sister and I with the magnificent waterfall behind. :)

We walked all the way up to capture a photo without humans.

Most of them were enjoying the cool splash of water below and some were actually swimming.

Sister and her boyfriend, Tonny.

My photography skills are great, right? :P

Oh well, now you get to see humans.

Besides, there are food and souvenirs stall along the road too.

Go for the lekor, my all time favourite! Haha.

After that, we continued our journey to Brinchang town and met up with my sister's friends. Yeah, I wasn't a light bulb, no worries. Haha. Then we headed to a farm, which I forgot its name. Every farm is more or less the same, so let's just ignore its name then. :P

Okay, I dunno what do you call this. Is it lettuce or cabbage?

The one and only cafe you can find in the farm.

So you've got no choice but to dine there if you're hungry.

Fried Ice Cream

Vanilla ice cream on waffle, it's strawberry jam by the way.

See, the food there wasn't up to standard, like seriously.

The strawberries aren't sweet but sour. The waffle was badly done as well.

I would recommend you to go to another cafe to have all these. Don't waste money. :)

Took a picture with the vegetables? Haha.

Lovely, aren't they? :P

I just notice that the same caption above can be used here too. :P

Purple on the left and red on the right. :)

Cactus

Okay, I know it's very obvious. :P

I think they were selling them for 3 for RM 5, not so sure.

Anyhow, it's definitely cheaper than cactus you get in KL. :P

I heart this picture lots! :)

See, told you that I have good photography skills.

Maybe I should go for a course or something? Haha.

Looks like a heart shape in a glance. Beautiful. :)

Pink roses, didn't get to see blue roses though.

Wait, do they even exist in the world? Blue roses? Haha.

We walked around for awhile and returned to the villa. Steamboat dinner! Yes, that's what we had for that night. I was too tired/lazy to take pictures of them, not so sure why I didn't already. Haha. But that wasn't the highlight of the night. :P

Yes, gifts exchange!

Had a good laugh, especially when we unwrapped the presents. Haha.

Played some games, headed to Starbucks for a drink and off to bed! :)

26.12.2009

Woke up pretty early the next day because we were going to the BOH Tea Plantation. Again, there's only one cafe there, and we had to dine there anyway. The food was average, nothing special. But, the drinks were good. Kononlah, BOH Tea Plantation, of course they serve good ones, right? I personally like the Cameronian Tea, I think it is spelled like that, correct me if I'm wrong.

Tea plantation, reminds me of a TVB drama. Haha.

View from the cafe! :)

Sister, Tonny & Yours truly

And 2 uncles? Haha.

This little girl here is very cute. :P

We came out from the BOH Tea Plantation around 11 o'clock.

And guess what? There was a massive traffic jam, I'm not exaggerating.

There's only one way to get in, and we had to use the very same way to get out.

But, the road itself is like really small. If one bus enters, then habis-lah! All stuck!

And that was exactly what happened. We took an hour to get out from the plantation.

Out of the plantation only! It usually takes 10 minutes at most to exit to Brinchang.

The day was spent mostly in the car, I'm not kidding you. Ipod was my saviour! :)

Home sweet home after a quick lunch in Simpang Pulai. Tiring, it really was.

Let's Party!

19.12.2009

Raymond Lam's concert was a blast! No, I'm not kidding you. If you are a fan of TVB dramas, then he is no longer a stranger to you. Remember the handsome lawyer in "Heart of Greed" or the caring and loving guy in "Moonlight Resonance"? How can one not fall for such a cute guy? :P

June and I headed to his concert, but something happened in between. Well, I wouldn't repeat what happened again since June already stated it in her blog. I understand that he had to make sure that we didn't sneak in or something, but he was real rude. He should check it with his colleagues or at least talk about it nicely. And because of this particular guy, we were freezing out there, for I-dunno-how-long, until another guy actually ushered us in.

And luckily, we made it on time. Wait, gotta rephrase, we were there pretty early, at least forty minutes before the concert was scheduled to start. Okay, forget it. But still, it was the Mr. Rude's fault. The concert started with Wong Cho Lam as one of the special guests. I didn't know that he can actually sing until he sang in the concert. And to be honest, he can sing pretty well. See, don't judge a book from its cover, so true!

We were in the Ali Cafe zone, which was pretty near to the stage! :P

Wong Cho Lam, don't you find him funny? Haha.

I like his character as the reporter in "The Beauty of The Game". :P

And all of a sudden, Lam Fung appeared!

Lam Fung was really charming on that night. Well, if he's a bit taller, then yeah, he's perfect! He sang most of the series theme songs, and also quite a number of songs from his album. Of course, his concert wasn't like Lee Hom's, with great backdrops and props. But hey, what do you expect? This concert surpassed my expectations to be honest. I lost count of how many songs he actually sang on that night also. Haha.

Prince Charming *wink*

And Raymond actually joined the crowd! Awesome! :)

And since he were busy walking to the back seats, we took pictures lah!

Spending time wisely. We were so smart, weren't we? Haha.

Chan Shan Chung

Chan Shan Chung was the second guest of the night. Raymond said that they were best friends for 10 years. Gosh, 10 years, friendship lasts, it really does. :P Well, the recent drama which I can think of with him in it will be the "Emergency Unit". He's quite good looking in fact. Haha.

And they danced!

And Manhand was there as well.

Well, I don't know much about them. Let's just forget it.

Look at his eyes, awww!

Heart melted. :P

Besides, Vincy was the last guest of the night. Yes, I know that there was quite a number of special guests, but I don't mind. Haha. She can sing very well though, didn't expect that before. I like the song which she sang with Raymond, but I dunno what is it called. Go Google if you wanna know. I'm waiting for June to send me that song. I'm still waiting. :P

Vincy & Lam Fung

I would love to see Linda Chung. :(

Christmas present for her.

Guess what, I actually saw it in Mid Valley the next day. Haha.

Smoking HOT! :P

And when the crowd shouting their lungs out for ENCORE, we took pictures again! :)

And of course, they came out once again.

Not Raymond alone, all the special guests also!

Giving out Christmas gifts! :P

After the concert :)

You know what, all the VIPs and the Ali Cafe zone guests had to exit to the outdoor.

The wind was so strong that all of us could hardly walk. Luckily we didn't get blown away.

And that's the end! :P
