Backdated post. Actual event took place on 18 June 2006. Woohoo… the tour finale. We’ve come to the end of the Cameron Highlands trip where we all decided to go to the BOH Tea Centre at Sungei Palas. According to many, it’s a must go place. Yes, it was newly refurbished and it looks great now! We were half way going to Sungei Palas following the narrow and winding road. When suddenly Gigi say she wants to stop over and take picture. Yeah, according to her, that’s a special spot where she took her previous Cameron Highlands picture. So she wanted a picture at the same spot this time. Obviously taking picture is not a problem, since everyone is ever willing to do so! But trust me… going through thick bushes, the tall grass and insects here and there… it’s sorta scary. I dunno.. for me, it have this after visit feel. Like the insects are still crawling on your skin even after like 2 hours.
The moment we reached, Jon parked his car and we have to actually walk up to the tea centre. Not a lot of walking. Just a tiny hill. Angeline and Brian dared each other to run up. So yeah, this miss out some photo sessions while me, gigi and jon slowly walk around enjoying the scene and snapping pictures. That instant I set foot on the top.. it felts just so great and different from the last time I came.. which practically is 5 years ago.. erm.. maybe 6 years.
We ordered lots of stuff to share around. Tea and coffee for everyone, cakes, curry puff, apple pie and the price is ridiculously low. It’s almost half of what we pay for at Starbucks or Coffee Bean. I am serious, It would have cost like RM100 bucks if that is what we order in cafes in KL.. but we actually spent less than RM50 for everything on the table.
Yeah, we all had fun. We took lots of pictures that will make us laugh when we flip back and see it over and over again. Not to mention the funny moments we have. That’s right, that is what you get when you mix all different type of people together! Till the next trip, I would have to say. From Cameron, With Love! Other Cameron post: |

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 18 June 2006. It’s time to leave the nice and cozy place. After the breakfast, we packed our bags and get ready to leave. Before leaving, we actually run around the place taking panorama pictures. Jumping and running around like a bunch of busy bee. most of the angles in front of our room were shot. I bet you we didn’t miss a spot! I personally like this side spot where there were lots of hanging morning glory and a wooden swing. I somehow think it was a comfortable spot and not to mention romantic too.
Before we reach the cashier, we decided to revisit the TV room and snap more pictures. Not to mention we even invaded the dining room section and snap snap snap. It’s kinda dark there so not much picture taken. Right after we check out from the chalet, we dump our stuffs in to the car and then continue to have fun at the English Tea Garden. Hehe… you must be amazed how much we all love the mini swing. And poor Brian, yeah.. one of those pinching session has started again. So yeah.. more fun soon arise when he is being tortured and punished by fellow girl power. Yeah… that is what happen when men mess with the wrong girls! Right after we finish running and jumping around… we decided it’s tea time again… this time… a better place. Other Cameron post: |

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 18 June 2006. Wah… it was such a refeshing sleep. Snore… snore… and more snore. The moment I wake up, I can hear the others making noise. The guys got up and get ready first as they are the nearest to the toilet. They then ordered breakfast for everybody. Mmm… good old American breakfast. It comes with 2 sunny side up, toasted bread, sausages, hashbrown, tomatoes, mushrooms and baked beans. Not to even mention orange juice and coffee. It was sorta filling when everything adds up. But what I actually like is the environment I have my breakfast. A small table under the big umbrella, in a lovely garden with lots of greens, cold breeze.. ah.. it all just makes a perfect combo.

Gangster is one of the in topic when I was a kid. Mum will tell me about it… how bad they were. Movies will show about it. But since I saw Young and Dangerous… my perception towards gangsters…. ermm.. they look just so cool and handsome compare to reality. Hemm… I wonder why. Brian and his gangsta-sheep is ready to rule the underground. With the big gun in the pocket, the sufficient bling bling and not to mention tattoos… Ah, just good enough to scare the shit out of normal people!
My gangster is dark enough to live in the underground. Grey enough to be lost between black and white. Scar face enough to scare little kiddos and press them for money. However it has a naive heart wishing for world peace! Ah.. how contradicting.
What is up next week? Anyone and everyone is welcome to join. Be it good or bad… it’s just something we do for fun! Generate some cool ideas and well.. surely fill up some of our boring times 😀

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 17 June 2006. *blink blink* I am awake now and we are all set to eat. Brian suggested this place where it’s been describing how cool and fun it would be eating steamboat there. Yeah, we have been listening of how delicious, how yummy it is since like few months back. Finally we are there. We can’t wait, our noisy stomach just can’t shut up and make noise. The boys drove us to the Water Crest Valley. It’s really a cool place to dine. We were actually surrounded by farms. Yeah… loads of vegetables around us. According to Brian, the owner actually owns the farm and all the vegetables we are eating are fresh from the farm. Not to mention, we get free flow of veges for our steamboat. Yeah, eat all you want vege. So if you are on a diet or you are a vegeterian… that’s just great news. The place is rather cold compare to other stuffy shops as it’s open air concept where you can see everything beside and around you.
After choosing the ingrediants we gotta wait for sometime for them to heat up the Charcoal Steamboat. In the mean time, each of us ordered their signature drink (water crest with red dates). Gigi and Angeline couldn’t coup with the taste so they both ordered a pot of tea. The steamboat finally came and I must say the soup is impressive. Very very good. It’s full of beans and herbs and it tasted just so sweet even before adding anything in to it. When the pot just touch down, we can’t help but to pour everything in. Woohoo… munch munch munch.. non stop munch munch munch.. until everyone sit down and burp. Ah.. it was a fun dinner. Feeling cool each time the wind blows at us but warm each time we drink the warm soup. Ah… mixed feelings. We then continue to walk to the night market at Brinchang. Too bad my camera phone is not good enough to shoot pictures in dark conditions.. or else… more post to come. After the short walk, we headed back to the chalet, sit down outside and chit chat until we all were so tired and decided to jump to our bed and sleep! Address: Other Cameron post: |

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 17 June 2006. Wee… and I am not finished with my cameron day one picture. Hehe.. Why would I wanna end it so fast when it just brings back so many memories. Lovely, lovely.. lovely. Right, they tell me they could actually print what is here and make it a book. I would think.. yeah, why not! Make it in to a book and keep it. But well, my house… too many stuff.. nah.. I think having it online is just what I need. Lessen the stuff at my house and just bulk it all up online. *yawn* Yeah… all the sleepy and sleeping look. Just right after tea at Bharat, we all decided to head back to our chalet and rest before jumping out for dinner. We went back to our Robin’s Nest and lepak a bit. Obviously we manage to take pictures again (yeah, despite the tired looks and the messy hair, watery eyes and the list goes on). Gigi was busy on the phone the whole time.. from us taking pictures to me feeling really really sleepy and to the moment I fall asleep… she is still chatting on the phone. Jon was busy taking artistic pictures. Taking pictures of angeline posing by the window, by the table lamp, everywhere around the house. Brian.. hahaha.. busy killing the little teddy dog. Torturing Jon’s manly cactus! Yes, you can see he is trying hard to step on it! As for me… I am busy getting ready to sleep, finding the right place and position to fall asleep. Yes, as you notice, I like to sleep facing down. So if you wanna backstab me, the best time is when I’m sleeping. 😉 Wooo..hooo… I can’t wait to open my eyes and see food! Other Cameron post: |

The knight of shining amour. Ah… often related to handsome dudes, shining amours, big shields and heavy swords. I watch lots of this sorta movie when I was a kid. When they all looked just so handsome and brave. So manly you cannot resist to fall in love and live happily ever after. Worst is when it’s a ever white horse that will never turn brown even with all the dust and mud around. Brian and his mighty knightsheep. Ah… felt like the roman type of knight but from the shield somehow look a little swiss. But anyhow… a brave knight that fights for everything and anything. Probably for it’s lovely maidensheep. Go knightsheep! Save the world from the evil and destruction.
I love my nike knight. Potrayed as a brave chess piece, nike knight will stop at nothing at all. Stand guard protecting the king (which obviously is not in the picture). Haha… and obviously I had a backup black knight. yes everybody, one for all and all for one!
What is up next week? Anyone and everyone is welcome to join. Be it good or bad… it’s just something we do for fun! Generate some cool ideas and well.. surely fill up some of our boring times 😀

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 17 June 2006. Too many pictures… too many stuffs being done in such a short time. Right… where were we, yeah… ermm right from Kea Farm, we move on to tea. Right… what is better than a cup of hot tea in Cameron. They are famous for their tea. Yes, and it’s dirt cheap compare to the tea you drink anywhere else in Malaysia. I never know where exactly I am… cause everywhere looks almost the same. Yeah… green here, green there… hill here… hill there… winding roads everywhere. The moment the engine stop, I saw this big big stretch of tea plantation right in front of me. There is a small little brick house which says “Cameron Bharat Plantations Sdn Bhd”. Yes, this is the place we stop for tea. Where else better than a tea plantation. Jon and Brian’s task were to buy drinks and munchies while us (the three little girls) run upstairs to get a good seat. Ah… under the covers, cold and windy place… I almost want to fall asleep. Obviously when the boys come back, our camera’s start working. Everyone is busy snapping pictures and have silly talks munching on cookies, curry puffs and drinking tea… while looking at more tea. We then decided to jump in to the plantation and snap more pictures. Yes lots and lots more pictures.
What exactly did we go through? Well… lots of grass… insects.. yeah, mosquito bites and not to mention the tall grass… ermmm should I call it grass? Er… anyway… yeah… it’s totally worth it especially now that I am re-seeing all the pictures.. it just makes me feel so happy. Yes, at the end of the day.. we have to sit down at the stairs and take out all the flower seeds that got stuck at our jeans and shirts. No kidding… it’s sticking to us like bees to honey. *yawn* It’s time to go back to our cozy room and have a short nap before we go out for dinner. Special dinner I was told.. Yes, I couldn’t wait to wake up and eat. Other Cameron post: |
Backdated post. Actual event took place on 14 August 2006.
We finally decided on a birthday lunch 10 days after Azli’s (more famously known as ikan) birthday.
We walked down and have our ritual birthday lunch buffet.
While it may seems a little late, our motto was better late than never.
All of us were eyeing what each of us ate and who manage to make the buffet worthwhile.
Ikan claimed that he only had a few oysters only, but we all knew it was a lie .
To add, each of the oysters are really huge.
And guess what, according to our spying, he had at least 7 oysters.
While for me, I kept going in for the sashimi since it was so fresh.
It was so good and kept me wondering what would happen if I were to go to Japan.
Don’t worry, while I love Japanese food, I still love our local foods such as nasi briyani, rendang, nasi lemak and many others.
After the buffet, everyone else ordered their hot after meal coffee except me.
Lack of sleep and coffee is not a good combination, especially when I clearly needed to close my eyes.
And drinking coffee at this point in time will cause my heart to beat faster.
Now, let’s all head back to finish up our work.
Happy Belated Birthday Ikan 🐟!
Backdated post. Actual event took place on 8 September 2006.
Before the big celebration, we had a super fulfilling dinner.
Lucky it was not a big problem since we only need to drag ourselves to Checker’s which is just a few shops away.
We had a few tables reserved for the night and are on a mission to make sure Loh enjoyed his birthday🎂 celebration and drink!
The drinking session starts of with a smaller crowd.
Yes, the usual suspect that are on time – Ganesh, May, Loh, Azli, Prem and myself.
This crowd is enough to entertain till the rest of the gang arrived.
To my surprise, Eunice brought Jessy along.
As for Meng, he is the always the last to arrive.
Probably he can’t decide what to wear, but red is good.
Always the best colour for a birthday celebration.
And the moment he arrive, he can’t help but to give a birthday toss Loh.
For sure I can’t miss out the opportunity. How can I not toss my bro right?
Happy Birthday Loh 大哥
Yes, I must show my respect to my brother. Cheers 大哥! Cheers!
That’s right, the night started off slow but ended up fast.
Before the time struck 12, our mission is accomplished.
We continued to enjoy our night even after our mission is completed .
We didn’t manage any cake since our mission went on so well.
The birthday boy fell asleep even before we could cut the cake.
Yes, the cake became the decoration for the night.
Wonder if Loh will remember any of this tomorrow 😆.
