SubUrban Trip to Cameron Highlands 11Dec09

Its the time of the year where we tried to go for a short trip. Initially we planned to go Fraser Hill but the hotels there are fully booked. We ended up going to Cameron Highlands since we love the laid-back moments. Serene. And full of fresh air. We thought of Genting but its a fast pace place, we decided on Cameron then. Alhamdulillah. The boys love the place. Its cool. Last I checked was 9degree.. cold. not cool. It will be nice if my parents didnt cancel their trip... but cant avoid as my dad is still in 'Compassionate-Moment'.

My hubby been there before, but not me... The journey is far more scary than I ever imagined. Didnt expect the road to be so curly like a snake. My heart almost stopped the moment we go swirling up to the peak of the mountain. The journey to KL was almost 4hrs as we stopped only once. When we reached to KL, the journey to Ringlet is about 1.5hrs and the toll to Ringlet is almost RM20. At Ringlet, there is Iskandar Lata waterfall and the Orang Asli Village along the roadside. Their house are so unique thou you cant imagined that there are still such houses in this era. The waterfall is beautiful. We didnt stopped thou, but had a dipped when we are going back to Singapore. From Ringlet to Tanah Rata where our hotel is took us another 1.5hours to drive up. We stayed at the Century Pines Resort, which is the central of Cameron Highlands. There is a mosque just beside the hotel. Above all, the hotel is great! Its more than we can ask for. There is no a/c or ceiling fan as its really breezy in the day although you can feel the sun. At night, its damn cold!!! Freezing to my bone! My chipmunks loved to cuddle up! I am suprised, there is a lake ontop of a mountain.

And not to mentioned the pine trees at the mountain! Its everywhere and I love them! The fresh scents coming from those pine trees really made my day. Not to mentioned the ones surrounding our hotels, and along the roadsides. Its fresh and beautiful.

We love the Brinchang Pasar Malam, its about 15mins drive from our hotel. Thou we had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, we prefer to have street food. The food there is delicious, esp the mee bakso! And its only RM3.50!! And the meatball is super!! Apart from the plantation & strawberry plantation, we had a great time at the tea plantation too... Above all, we love the place. Its so relaxing. Its definitely a great place to relax, away from the busy life. The time there is slow & steady. We do not at all feel rush.

We dropby Klang for a few hours, to my hubby grand-uncle's shop. Will be uploading pictures soon...
