Backdated post. Actual event took place on 30 September 2006.
It’s time to celebrate Nicole’s birthday.
It is an advance celebration and it has been a while since she came back, in time to celebrate her birthday with us.
And yes, it is very much in advance since she will be leaving Malaysia for her long holiday to Korea.
It’s better in advance than later since she will only be back much later.
Since the 3 of us are busy roaming around in Genting Highlands, we decided that the surprise birthday when we went back to our apartment.
When we reach back, most of us are dead tired since we have been actively walking and exploring around.
Me and my sister sneaked in to the kitchen to prepare for the surprise while Nicole is chilling in the living room.
While we bringing out the cake, many drama happened. I was busy running in and out of the kitchen as along the way, candles got blown out half way.
Sigh , I am really bad at planning surprises. So, please don’t assign me to plan for any surprises.
Thank you my dear cousin for playing your part and pretended to be surprise.
The time used to taking photos were much longer than making a wish and cake cutting.
Yes, pose and take more photos.
My sister is assigned to cut the cake since birthday person shouldn’t be cutting their own cake.
And now, we are going to bed with a stomach filled with yummy cheesecake.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR CUZ .

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.

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: |

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 17 June 2006. Right after we explore our chalet abit, our stomach start sending noises as a gentle reminder to us that it’s time for lunch. Obviously dim sum has digested, and we are venturing around for food. We drove to the nearest town. Yeah, Brinchang seems to be the location. We stop at the heart of Brinchang and decided to look for food. No one of us have any idea of what to eat. We decided to just walk in to whatever shop that anyone wanted to walk in. So yes, we found Restoran and Rumah Tumpangan Hong Kong. From the pictures shown, this place seriously do serve lots of stuff. From chicken rice to mixed rice to porridge to steamboats to western food. Not to even mention the variety of noodles. Gigi decided to take porridge. The rest of us decided to order some dishes from the mixed rice section and share. We had stir fry ladies fingers, sweet and sour pork and ma poh taufu and a plate of roasted chicken. Food was not really that tasty. Well, probably the wheather is cold which makes the dishes get cold easily. But the taste is just so different. The sweet and sour pork eh… hemm the pork just taste different from what we normally get in KL. I dunno.. it just have a different type of smell. Bet things would be better if the food were really really hot! Yeap yeap, brian and gigi.. haha, as usual they will have their small dramas and pinching session. Yeah, you would know how bad things goes if you remember the first winter warmer’s post. As usual, none of us would wanna get involved or being bothered. Haha.. yeah.. it’s sort of like a daily dose for them thingy.
Potted flowers looked as pretty as it always is. Cactus has never been so manly the last time I saw them. Yeah… just so manly eh? Strawberries weren’t as big and red before they were plucked. Not as much as I expect to see. Yeah… I expect to see loads and loads, mountains and mountains of strawberries. But yeah… I am a little disappointed. Maybe I went to the wrong place. Sigh… yes… I need to stop being disappointed! I need tea! Other Cameron post: |
