Up..Up..Up The Highlands

8-10th June 09

Day 1

up to Cameron Highlands with wh and his family. We set off early in the morning at 7am. Reached Yong Peng for dim sum breakfast before we hit the highway towards Ipoh. It was a long journey. We stopped at Bidor for lunch which kept us waiting for an hour cos it was too crowded and the wait wasnt very worth it for some of us. After lunch, we set off to Cameron Highlands. Driving up the winding road was tough and it was a rocky and dizzy way up. Thanks to wh's daddy who drove us all the way up, feeling stressed and all. Despite the rough journey up, along the way the scenery was very pretty. And when we reached our apartment, everyone was tired and hungry. After unpacking and taking some photos of the nice view from our balcony, we went to "The Big Red Strawberry Farm" and pasar malam there. It was near evening then and the weather was turning cool. The wind that blows onto our faces was cold like air-con. Took lots of pictures of the pretty flowers, vegetables and strawberries at the farm just before it closed. Bought alot of food which was meant for our dinner at the pasar malam. I love the fried sweet potato balls, fried mushrooms (golden needle mushroom, abalone mushroom and the normal xiang gu) and the jagung which can be eaten raw! We didnt go anywhere at night, just stayed at the apartment and slacked. Super cold at night! We have to wear shoes/socks inside the house cos the floor was tooooo cold. We could see the moon and the stars from our balcony. Sounds romantic hor? but it's not just me and him la. there's his younger sis and bro. haha.

Day 2

Made breakfast ourselves. Using the vege we bought the night before to make salad. healthy. haha. Had sandwich too. After breakfast, we set off to the BOH Tea Centre in the morning. The view there was magnificent! We could see mountains and mountains of greenish tea plantations, plus the blue blue sky and the white cottony clouds. The pictures taken over there are like one of those landscape wallpapers we found on the net! i'm not exaggerating ok. Went up to the cafe there to have tea and some cakes. Enjoyed the scenery and breeze there. Sitting there, i was thinking how nice it would be to have a house up there. haha. Dreaming dreaming. Anyway, we also went to see how the tea we had was manufactured. A few procedures are involved - plucking the tea leaves, crashing them to get the juice out, the leaves is then dried and crystallized until it turned brown/black like the tea leaves we used to make tea and then the leaves is sorted out for further flavouring. Next, we tried to find a farm to pluck strawberries but most of the strawberries farm was closed cos there were too many people there to pluck previously since it's the holidays so there wasnt many red strawberries left for us. sad. So we went to visit the water cress farm, butterfly farm and by then it was already evening. We went back to wash up and prepared to go for our steamboat dinner.

Day 3

Last day. We checked out before 12. Went up to a temple just a distance up from our apartment. Then we headed to the Big Red Strawberry Farm again to try their strawberry sundae and waffle and fried ice-cream which we didnt get to try the first day! Sweet plus sour plus fattening whip cream. BUT...yummy! Then on the way down Cameron, we visited the Bee farm and another BOH tea plantation. At this tea plantation, we get to climb up one of the hill which was 174m to the top. The climb was worth it as from the top we felt like we were on same level or higher than the clouds. We even saw an eagle soaring in the sky. Of cos, we took some pictures there! So, that was the last stop before we headed down the Highlands. Next on our list was a waterfall. We took some wrong turns trying to find it. When I first saw it from a distance, i was overwhelmed. It was the nicest and biggest waterfall i've seen. not artificial de lo. "WaH~~~hen mei!!!" was the only thing that came out from my mouth. haha. Little incidents happened there while we were happily climbing up the slippery rocks of the waterfall. i shall not mention it here la. We found a restaurant at Bidor for dinner and finally we headed back to kluang. 5hours of driving on the highway. Poor wh. Everyone was shagged when we finally reached at 130am.

That's the end of our trip. Truly enjoyed myself. Been to a new place and tried some new food and saw beautiful sceneries and landscapes! Thanks to his mummy for planning everything. (:

I made it!

finally i decided to write an entry for my blog since i haven been blogging for so looong...just feel very lazy.

now my everyday routine is to check my mails for any suitable jobs and then send my resume. at the same time i'm looking for a parttime too. my bank account is depleting and i'm trying to go out less until i manage to get a job, full time or parttime. my parents dont give me pocket money ever since dunno when, so i only survive on the money i earned from parttime jobs during the hols and those our generous government gave.ha..plus i'm so bored at home la. yet i wanna save money! SIAN.

Checked my results just now. I successfully graduated! though not with very good CAPS but somehow am still glad i made it.

the last weekend went to Kukup with a group of friends. it was fun and relaxing. Kukup is actually a fishing village located at Johor. We stayed in a house rented from a very nice uncle. it's like a chalet. We sang our hearts out with the karaoke system there, took lots of artistic photos, enjoyed the very beautiful sunset, folded paper boats and let it float out into the sea with our dreams on board, had a nice time BBQ-ing, got the advantage of viewing some mini fireworks from our neighbour, drank by the sea and despite the clouds that covered the night sky which should have been filled with stars, we enjoyed one another's company, talking cock till after midnight. The next morning a simple and heart-warming breakfast was prepared for us. After checking out, we went for a tour in one of the kelongs and headed for our seafood lunch at the jetty. Overall, i feel that the people there are all very nice. must be the environment. they lead such carefree life there. a suitable place for retirement i think. they fish for a living and have their homes rented out to visitors like us. they do earn a lot from what seems to us like a simple lifestyle. After the kukup trip i accompanied wh back to kluang. Went around to eat and to the new shopping mall there. And was on the train back on tuesday evening.

Now back home to boredom and daily routine.

大学之旅 - 完结编 Part 1

终于啊！

五月七号考完在NUS的最后一张试卷！一踏出考场的那一刻，我是充满兴奋与期待。

在国大的三年就此来到了尾声。

其实前一天考完最后第二张试卷时，当一位朋友跟我说了一句话，让我突然间有一丝丝不舍的感觉。我在想也许我会想念与朋友们一起上lecture,tutorial,一起做project等等，但我绝对不会想念mpsh.哈哈。

在还没继续找工作之前，该是享受一下下人生的。毕竟如果找到了，一做就是最少十年吧，一想到这个事实就纳闷。感觉上好像还没够成熟，还没准备好似的。好了，这些就别想太多了，顺其自然就好。

我想现在每天闲着，不是出门就是在家玩game看戏。可是我喜欢这种无所事事的日子，因为这种日子剩下不多了。哈！

那些在筹备着毕业旅行的朋友们，虽然我是有点嫉妒你们，但还是要祝你们玩得愉快哦！记得记得我的手礼啊！嘿嘿。

还有希望大家快快找到工作！good luck!
