Fulfilling long weekend....

Yes..Went to Cameron Highlands recently... 10 Apr 2009 to 12 Apr 2009... indeed a fulfilling weekend...I was the replacement of my aunt's grand-daughter...ahah....trip was accompanied by a group of Aunties and the youngest of all, is me....Tks to my lameness and bubbly character...so made my trip quite enjoyable with the aunties and uncles....Not much shopping area or entertainment...just Flowers, Strawberries, Vegetables, and more plantation there... Great place for relaxing..but not too many days of stay.. 2 nights will be just nice..Weather is good...Cold in the morning and night...noon will be quite sunny but comfy with a little breeze...

The Bus that brought us up and down the highlands.... The 年糕 that impressed me... it's still so crispy when its cold.... The waterfall...
My dinner and is my fav..Steamboat...very nice with TOM YAM and Chicken Soup..On the lst night..went back to the hotel earlier, bout 5pm and supposely we were to gather at 7pm at the lobby....me and my aunt went for a sleep...we overslept and was late for dinner and 25 ppl were waiting for us...Miss tourguide came to knock at our door...We were actually 15 mins late...not that bad right...So embarrased...
Nxt day, woke up earlier as I want to be punctual...I don't want myself to made the same mistake again..ahaha.... 2nd day was Very fulfilling..We visited the Rose Garden, Tea plantation, Bee Apiary, Cactus Garden, Strawberry farm, Market, Pasar Malam.... Quite alot of places.... my fav is Rose Garden...simple reason, cos I love ROSE....
Standing at the Tea Cafe, BoH Tea plantation.....Nice Greeny carpet behind....



Strawberry farm, didn't went in to the farm as we need to pay 20Rm for plucking.... Not recommended by the tourguide as it's time consuming and we might need to walk very far to find the biggest strawberry...In fact, we wouldn't want to pay 20Rm to find tiny strawberries...Better to buy outside....O ya...Strawberries cannot be brought back to Singapore...as they don't have skin to protect them, on the way back, the strawberries will sweat, guess it's the storage temperature, and juices might come out..Stawberries will turn gross by then...lucky I don't like to eat strawberries so it's okay.... Tiny tomatoes....Very nice....
Hairy Cactus....It's GG....
Cactus like wearing Hawaii dress....ahaha....so cute...with flowers on their head...
Pri 3 Science....What's this? Venus Fly Trap....
I am having my Sweet potato balls... hehe...
Market
Most of the stalls sell these....
Me proudly presents the cabbage farm...
Most of the places sell this....Abit sourish and quite sweet..I can accept so can u.... Flowers all around Cameron highlands....Looks fakey...
At the rose garden, thanks god, the seat is stable, steady and not easily damaged....
My cheeky face and the red rose...ahaha...
Named as black rose...I think it's call dark red...
Then, visited the Pasar Malam...not the kind of typical Pasar that we usually see....The ones there were quite "special" as they only sell Vegetables, fruits and of course some small bites...I don't dare to eat the bites there.... as there were too many flies flying around...So Gross...But only something which I couldn't resist temptation was the $1.30 ROTI JOHN.....aahah...
As the Rm$1 share the same colour as Rm$50...careless me, paid the wrong amt...Yesh, I paid more than what I should....But lucky, the honest stall owner return my $$....Shoo....
The crowd...
Rainy then sunny and vice versa is the common weather there.... It happens everyday....
Big White Carrot...Rm5 doru...Take picture needs Rm 2/person...so Mr bus driver bought it instead...can take unlimited pictures...ahaha...Stall owner's business strategy...
Don't always say I show Food only...KK....See what we finished....at least I'm more creative this time...
My last dinner for the trip...ahaa...almost are food that I dislike....Fish, Sharkfin, Fatty meat plus Tofu but lucky it's Egg Tofu...I know I am picky...

Happy but Tired

Saturday,04 Apr 09 jus went to Mandai Crematory..as usual, every year we gt to do this...pay a visit to our ancestors...GrandX2 Pa, Ma, GrandPa and my mum.... This year, indeed very early, reached Mandai at about 540am...ahah...btw, we were nt the earliest and almost all the car park slots were full...Shocking, that's the way the Singaporeans do...Kiasu...Nxt move on to Kim Yam Rd, ahah... headed to the Singapore Buddhism Lodge....okay easy to say, it's near DlbO....very hip to choose a temple near 1 of my fav clubbing area....hehe....After that, went to Grandma place, then headed to Aunt hse to pack my stuff back to Juro... ahah...Slept for a while as I was very very tired..Slept for 3hrs on fri night... ahah..so went for a short nap till Johnny bro return to help me move my stuffs back home....
Went home, more tedious as I connect my broadband to my new router...tidied the computer wires, then packed my room, closet..I felt like I am doing a 5S for my room...felt like work.... ahah....Really exhausted till felt like vomitting...
Nxt day, Sun, slept till 11 am, watch VCD..rot a little.. then crossed over the road and headed to my cousins' house...for her bday celebration...Ate soo much...Pizza, Mee fen, Fried Rice, Sharkfin soup which tastes like Mushroom Chicken Soup, Cake and more....Felt fats grew all over my body...So sinful...somemore, I stopped exercise recently....I gt to face the walls and plan for my nxt diet...ahah... Enjoyable weekend....

Mon was no good as I did an audit for the production in my workplace...ahaah..felt so dummy during the audit as I didn't actually ask good qns I guessed...cos was nt very familar with the operations there.....ahah..However, I tried my best....Anyway, felt like a learning day for me instead of a day to audit ppl...Tml will be another tedious day as I gt to work Extra hard... due to the messy planning from my colleague which made my whole team suffer....Argh...All because he is deep in love with the ITP student who joined us few weeks ago...God bless she's going to leave us...or nt I couldn't imagine what will happen next..I just hope my that colleague will grow to be more mature and smart in work...Gosh*
