My "Very First" Cameron Highlands Trip on 6-8 Aug 2010 (Part II)

After had a sweet nite and restful sleep, i woke up early Saturday morning with a full of energized body and a very fresh new day . Yay! is a very fresh beginning, Good Morning buddies !!! I took a picture of the gorgeous fresh morning in our first day morning at Cameron Highlands.

I'm sure everyone does agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the Day. So, we lighten up our day by preparing our own made breakfast.


After filling our hunger stomach with delicious burger and beverage, then we started our tour in the late morning, at around 10:59am. Our first stop is Taman Madu Lebah...the owner, Mr Choo was sharing with us about different types of HONEY BEES meanwhile he was also promoting his products. The price is vary according to the benefits of the honey bee, so it is depends on you which types of honey bee you are looking for...

Our second stop was The Lakehouse, an exclusive getaway in the natural beauty of the Cameron Highlands.



To most tea lover, Anytime is tea time ! So, How about you? We stop at Cameron Bharat tea house to sip on a cup of tea while enjoying the the view of huge, green-ish, and beautiful scenery of the tea plantations which we think it is really splendid. A very tranquil scenery ! I love it so much !!! It was such a long walk to the lowest ground of tea plantation, we took many of photos including acting, jumping, hugging, running, sitting and get some fresh and cold water near the small waterfall (the waterfall was not really a waterfall to me).This is just a baby...ya baby waterfall. My dream is to see a really big waterfall that will set me in awe! Climbing up back to Bharat Cafe stop is not as easy as "kacang putih" or "sap sap sui" especially for someone who is out of shape! we forced to speed up our footstep back to the top because it was going to rain... Rainy day will made even colder but more shiok! I love the cold ! I was panting by the time I reached the top. -.-"






Halfway through our tour, it's time for lunch ! We just simply had our lunch at one of the Restaurant named You Hoo Seafood Restaurant which located at Brinchang.
I never thought of food in Brinchang is over expensive than I thought. It is not cheap, all we had our order was only local vege... 5 dishes of meal which inlcuding one plate of ginger chicken already cost about RM 60++. Luckily we only had once there. I really get shocked! I never thought of food price in Brinchang is that terrible! Compared to my recent trip to mount kinabalu,Sabah and we stayed at Pine Resort... bf and i had 5 dishes of meal which fish and chicken were included it is far more cheaper than here...Brinchang, Cameron Highlands.


We continue our journey again and visit the Healthy Strawberry Farm which is located at the hill above Merlin Hotel.Self-plucking of strawberries are also available here. Besides that, Healthy Strawberry Farm also housed lots of cactus, varieties of flowers and organic vegetables.



Ice-cream with fresh strawberries cost RM5. Fresh strawberries topped with chocolate,whipped cream, vanilla and strawberry flavored ice-cream is worth to try.

It's already late afternoon after we had just a few kms small tour in Cameron Highlands. Before going back to apartment to prepare for our BBQ dinner, we stopped at Brinchang Pasar Malam.









If you're having BBQ, what's on your menu ? For our second night dinner in Cameron Highlands... we're having Beef & Lamb ribs, Beef & Chicken Satay, chicken wings, hot dogs, sausage, corn on the cob roasted. We're so excited enjoying our BBQ dinner at Ms Khor's Garden! Great Outdoor Dinner !



In Cameron Highland when dark comes there were no activities at all,an extreme tiredness makes us get into bed early. Thanks a lot to my boss, Jackson and bf, Adrian for helping me in kitchen to wash tons of dishes after the BBQ. It is quite nice when you have someone to help you while you are really in tiring mode. Really appreciate it! really, who doesn't appreciate some extra helping hands in the kitchen rite ?!


Good Nite & sleep tight everybody (yawning) ^.^

My "Very First" Cameron Highlands Trip on 6-8 Aug 2010 (Part I)

Cameron Highland history started with tea plantations.The Highlands were named after William Cameron, a British colonial government surveyor who discovered the plateau during a mapping expedition in 1885. The fame of Cameron Highlands then grew during the colonial era when British planters realized the potential of its fertile mountain slopes for growing tea, then a prized commodity.

1st Day ( Depart from Klang - Cameron Highlands )

We started our journey from Klang about 2pm after we had our quick and light lunch (to avoid uncomfortable feeling) before reaching our destination because the paths to the peak of Cameron Highlands are curve and narrow. We felt like every minute our car is turning here and there...left ! right ! left & right ! After few hours journey, finally we reach Cameron Highlands at 5:29pm. YeahoOO~~~ This is my "very first" step to Cameron Highlands !!!



Before going further down to Tanah Rata to check-in at Green Hills apartment, we drop by at Brinchang Pasar Malam to get some fresh vege for our dinner.


Here is the place where we stay, The Block Eugine of Green Hills Apartment which is belongs to a chinese lady, Ms Khor. She is very friendly and nice lady ! She is always kind to provide us the things we need... such as extra bed ? No problem and free of charge ! BBQ Pit ? ok ! Table for BBQ ? ok take it ! All fulfill. Thanks ;-)




After check in, we, ladies are busying to prepare dinner. Our menu for first night in Cameron Highlands is "Steamboat".
The cold weather is definitely perfect to eat steamboat
Agree ??? Ya ! Ya ! Ya !!!



After dinner...




We went to Tanah Rata town which is just 5 mins driving from our apartment.Then we decides to take a short walk around the town which allowed me easy for taking heaps of pics. It was freezing cold and windy during the night.... The moment I got out, I immediately felt like I was in Kundasang, Sabah. I miss Sabah a lot !!!

How to Live without Fear and Worry

Living in harmony with others means living in harmony with nature. And Nature itself protect you.

An important factor for a happy life is the ability to live in harmony with others. To achieve this, we must recognize that there are many paths people can take to reach the same goal.
Therefore,we should not be unduly upset if other people practice their own customs or have opinions which are different from ours.

Labuan Federal Territory

Labuan island is located off the northwest coast of Borneo, north of Brunei Bay and faces the South China Sea.Labuan located approximately 8km off the coast of the state of Sabah at the mouth of the Brunei Bay.It comprises of one main island and six smaller ones, (Pulau Burung, Pulau Daat, Pulau Kuraman, Pulau Papan, Pulau Rusukan Kecil, and Pulau Rusukan Besar), which have a combined total area of 92 km². The name Labuan derives from the Malay word labuhan meaning anchorage.

Labuan is an Island with an estimated population of 80,000 people. Its quite a small community where everyone knows everyone. Labuan was proclaimed Federal Territory on 16/04/1984 and declared an International Offshore Financial Centre on 1/10/1990. A few of the major business that is run on the island are the International Offshore Bankings, Steel mills, Methanol plant, floor tiles production, flour mill as well as offshore supplies.



Duty-Free Shopping - This is one of Labuan's known attractions. Its modern shopping centres carry a wide range of locally-produced as well as imported goods. Most popular are spirits and tobacco, textiles and appliances. Every end of the year, the island hosts a month-long shopping carnival with attractive discounts. Cultural shows add to the excitement




International Sea Sport Complex - Labuan also hosts the International Sea Challenge in May every year which comprises of four events - the Underwater Treasure Hunt, Jet Sport Challenge, Cross Channel Swim Challenge and Big Game Fishing Tournament.



World War II Sites - Pulau Labuan is a significant historical destination particularly from the time of World War II. The Labuan War Cemetery, Allied Landing Point and Japanese Surrender Park are three major World War II sites attracting foreign and local visitors alike. A "Remembrance Day" is held every November at the Labuan War Cemetery to honour the 3,900 recorded graves of Fallen Heroes of World War II. This event is attended by Malaysian and foreign war veterans and family members of the Allied soldiers killed in action during the war between 1942 and 1945.

The Chimney - The Chimney is just a short drive from the town just like any other destination due to the island size. It is where the coal mining was done in the early days. However no one knows the true purpose of the chimney. Entry is free of charge.



Bird Park - The bird park is just opposite of the Chimney. Consist of 3 major dome connected together. Houses a number of species of bird. Entrance is 3 RM for locals and 5 RM for foreigners.


Beach - As the Pearl of South China Sea, it has beautiful stretches of beach. The famous ones are Pohon Batu and Pancur Hitam where the locals hang out and have a BBQ picnic during the weekend.



Kampung Air / Water Village - Interesting settlement where houses, shops, and mosques are built on wooden houses on the water shore. No boat is needed to get in to the village. It is accessible by road till the parking areas near the entrance. You can then, choose to walk around the village on the wooden bridge or steel concrete walkways (e.g. Patau- Patau 1). The villagers are friendly and don't mind tourists walking around their villages and snapping pictures.


Labuan is a very safe town. It is a very peaceful place and the people are very nice and friendly.Crime rate is very low, except once in a while, there used to be physical arguments between the immigrants, but only among themselves, not involving others.


I missed Labuan soooooo much ♥♥♥
