Day1 Tuesday 6 June
Reach school punctually and set off at around 7am. Reach Yong Peng and the 1st thing i did was
PEE (: (oh did i mention that i'm having my period) Had lunch at some restaurant, it was okay lah
some weird pple are so fascinated by the stoning fish. Went uphill to see the waterfall. It's natural, not like singapore which is man-made. The water is CLEAN, it looks drinkable and the children are bathing there. Went to visit the children at Orang Asli, i guess the sweets we gave them can last them for a week. But i just regretted not taking photos with the cute cute children.
And it's really heart warming when they wave goodbye at you so happily when we leave. So touching... ): You see they are so satisfied and happy with those sweets, compare to spore children lah. And we went to see their kitchen and room, it's very simple and dirty though, they live in those straw house ( or izit stilt house? not sure) and they have animals such as chicken ( with cute little Chicky) ducks, dogs, cats, and WILD BOAR (: Then went up..up...up again (Long and winding) to have our steamboat dinner. And the moment we move our butt out of the bus seat...WHOA! The air outside is cold and cool and shiok! Cause we are already high up and the temperature drop 1degree every 165m. So we had steamboat which was ok lah, not full at all, and i was dreaming of having abalone. And there was
this stupid bug bug which flew in and disturb our meal, it's palm size big and it flew onto rong qi's shirt. The scene was so scary lah, and she didn't even scream when the bug stayed there even when she tried to flick it off. If i was her
i will scream until the bug die. Then at around 9.00pm we check in to hotel. So cold... cause it was raining and we slept at around 11.30pm. So early rite, and i slept like a pig (: Jan and zoey came lookin for me, but i was already sleeping. haha
Day2 Wednesday 7 June
Woke up at 6.50. Ate breakfast (Bee Hoon, bake beans, tea) and set off to strawberry farm. Oh the strawberry rocks! It's sweet and soft. I dun like those sour ones so i like it alot. And i regretted not buying a pack home again. When they were distributing the strawberry i was like shouting: Any extra?? I WANT! cause i didn't order any ): Went to BOH tea plantation. I guess all cedarians hate that guide. Haha. I bought the cameronian tea thingy (: Went to BEE farm! just walk a few rounds and then drank the warm honey water. Bought one bottle of honey back. Should have bought the bigger one lah. Stop for lunch and we had our meal with 5-6 other houseflies. The teachers said the flies are HEALTHY (: Means we can eat them le. And the funny thing is, their dishes are somehow similar. Same veggi, toufu, fish, soup, curry, tea, egg... Then walk to market garden, nothing much.
Then to rose centre, whoa....lots of diff types of roses. Then went to shop at the market there. And i saw someth shocking. We were shopping happily when we heard the car siren (it will ring when someone steal the car or someth) and then i look towards the direction to see what was happening. Then i saw a guy slamming the door of a van and ran away very fast. So i was wondering where got pple run away so fast when ur car siren is ringing. So i conclude that that guy was stealing someth form the van, and nobody chase after him. Haha OH WE WENT PASAR MALAM after that, the one near our hotel. So it was rather long and big, but the things they sell are somewhat similar, vegi especially. And cause i guess it was about to rain so there were some white mist coming down. And while we are shopping at the night market i realise that our hotel is gone! i mean our hotel is COMPLETELY covered with the white mist. HAHA anyway So i bought CACTI! yay i planned to buy 7 though, but hui lin and hui yi decided to share with me. So i bought 3 of them. (i realize later that we are not really allowed to bring stuff back singapore with soil, so i had to squeeze it in my bag) Then we had dinner. Had to climb some very steep slope to reach there. Sat beside jan jan. Then went to pasar malam again. Return back to hotel to shower. Went to room 305 to play. Yah and i learn how to play mahjong that night! Thanks (: After that heard that some girls haven't return to hotel till 11.30pm, so have to go back to our room. Chatted with my members, we talk abt stuff which i dun talk with my other close friends. And yah, though i'm not close to my members (cause it was last min decision to go for me), but it was ok these 3 days. Yah so we watch spiderman2 and slept at around 12.30am. Oh and some random stuff cause the road is so narrow at cameron, it is only one way route so whenever our bus see another bus coming in another direction, we will panic, and i will start to stress the driver. Oh no got another bus! So if the driver is not careful the whole vehicle will just fall down the mountain! And all of us will x( And there was once where 5 cars driving in diff direction were stuck on the road, cause nobody dared to move a single cm.
Day3 Thursday 8 June
Woke up at 5.50am. Had light breakfast (Porridge+hot dog+tea). Went downhill (it's winding means the bus have to turn left and right and left and right and left and right and round and round and round down for a few km. So 2 pple vomited in my bus. I can't believe i'm strong lah. Cause i get bus sick car sick and sea sick easily. So i was well prepared and keep popping orange skin/peel into my mouth. And i endure throughout the journey. Tell you arh, i felt so uneasy lah, is like ur heard is dizzy and yr stomach is dizzy too. Stop at tapah, then went to Mines resort to do shopping. Had McDonalds lunch, you know we have to walk and talk and eat and look at the stuff you want to buy and have to think whether it is reasonable(cheap) and the mall is 3-4 levels and we have to do this within an hour. Yah so when i see a thing that i want to buy the others have to wait for you, and of course you will feel paiseh rite. And you can't walk alone cause you will get lost somehow. And how i wish i can shop alone lah, cause in the end i didn't buy anyth at all. The only time i took out my wallet is when i need to pee and they say need to pay 20cents. And i REGRETTED AGAIN for not buying the school shoes. Cause when i return to singapore i realize it is really very reasonable lor ): Anyway we got scolded in the public when some of our busmates went missing. And our last stop was Yong Peng, collected our Otah and travel back sch. Reach sch at around 7.15pm. YAY my family came and fetch me (: And yah did i mention we took 8 hours from cameron highlands to cedar girls. 8HOurs of bus! Yah i was thinking if my butt was cooked.
Anyway since the bus was our 2nd home during the trip we watched 4 movies on the bus. The screen was tiny but fortunately i was sitting in front. We watched:
Step Up
National Treasure
Take the Lead
Just Follow Law
And i always fall asleep while watching the movies (: Haha
And yupp that's all for the 3 days trip.
You can see moutains, nature, durian tress, nice scenery, no buildings at cameron. You can live in the atmosphere of 20 degrees(aircon), and everywhere you go , you dun have to on aircon. YOu can Put sunblock in the afternoon cause there is sunlight but you can also wear ur jacket cause the air is cold. Sunblock+Winter clothes = Intertesting
Some Pictures are grabbed from others and more pictures will be uploaded after i get them from hui yi during holiday lesson.
@ 12:00 PM
