The Cold and Mist @ Cameron Highland

The Journey to Cameron Highland

Sana sini blogger update citer percutian. So nak jugak join the bandwagon, sambung citer2 cuti. Kali ni cuti ke Cameron pulak. Harap maklum, gambar lebih kurang sama je ngan orang lain, dah namanya pergi tempat yg sama kan hehe. Cuma tak terserempak le, kalau terserempak pun lum tentu kenal kan. Masing2 pun konfem meriah dgn keluarga sendiri so konfem tak sempat nak tengok orang kiri kanan hehe.

Kitorang ikut Tapah. Keluar rumah seawal 8.30 ke 9.30 camtu, sbb nak elak sangkut kat traffic jam. Time sampai ok je, byk jugak keta but bearable lah.

Walaupun takde jam teruk, budak2 boleh tahan boring jugaklah dalam kereta. Mula2 excited. "Are we there yet?"...lama2 takde dah soalan tu. Masing2 dah senyap.

Since sampai Tanah Rata around 12+ camtu, so kitorang relax benti makan kat sini dulu. Makan kat medan selera tepi parking lot. Nasi campur je. Mula2 Sarah taknak makan, cuma nak telur masin sebiji tu hah. Camno lah nak makan, telur masin tuuu. But last2 dia nak jugak makan nasi dgn daging masak merah. 

Kejap2 suasana gelap macam hujan, tapi actually mist je. So pakai jelah baju hujan tu sbb dah bawak kan. Then round2 kat kedai2 kat pekan ni cari rain boot. Happy sebab jumpa jugak akhirnya walopon takde design cute2 but yg penting boleh redah becak. Murah jugak RM12.50 sepasang. Dapat saiz Mina n Sarah kat kedai ni, Awish punya takde maka mamat tu pun merajuk sentap muncung 3 depa dan hentak2 kaki lah. Last2 dapat jugak carik kat kedai lain. Actually ladies punya rain boot but rembat je, janji lasak kan. 

The accomodation - Boutique Resort Hotel De' La Ferns 

Located betul2 tepi jalan nak ke Brinchang, senang aje nak jumpa hotel ni. Dekat sangat dgn pekan Tanah Rata. Facilities semua ada dalam bilik termasuklah iron board. Tapi dah biasa travel bawa pakaian yg not easily wrinkle dan pack neatly dalam bag so tak guna pun iron ni. When cekpen tanya 'ok ke hotel ni?'...my answer "ok sangattttt". Bersih, simple deco english sikit, yg penting ada bath tub utk budak2 ni berendam.

Tetiba pusing tengok cekpen buat renovation. Additional bed?? hehe.....tau ajelah perangai anak sendiri kan.  

The Butterfly Farm

This boy tunggu luar aje, walaupun dia yg setkan itinerary nak ke Butterfly  Farm petang tu. Takut sangat dgn serangga cantik tu. 

Somehow macam tak banyak spesis yg ada kat sini. 

Slithery snake.

Kumbang tanduk.

Tarantula

Orchid Mantis...cantik kan

The cute chipmunk.

The yet to be 'prince charming' frog, waiting kisses from Mina hahaha.

The Tayar Pancit Incident

"Its ok mother, Ayah engineer rite? He knows how to fix the tyre."

Tyre went flat right in front the Butterfly farm. Take a deep breath and cekpen dgn gagahnya tukar tayar spare le. Bujang tu payungkan tak sampai seminit..sabor je lah. Ada paku melekat kat tayar tu.

The Time Tunnel

Suka barang2 lama yg ada kat muzium time tunnel ni. Memang mengimbau zaman kanak2, cos some of item tu mmg dah pupus kan macam radio tu. Wish could have more time in here but unfortunately kitorang masuk ni dah 6.45pm. Dah nak tutup sangat dah. Takde orang pun dalam ni kecuali kitorang je. And because of the silent, i find it a bit earie...seram semacam huhu. Rasa nak lari keluar cecepat but at the same time nak tengok all the pieces kat sini...sigh..

Spend less than 15 min kat dlm time tunnel. Keluar je semua roller shutter door dah turun. Someone need to pee so kita tunggu kat luar.

The Dinner and Breakfast

 Just next to our hotel ada Glory Steamboat.

Portion a little bit too much for us. Try jugak nak habiskan but cannot go le. So sayur2 byk lagi tak dapat nak habiskan. Itupun nasib baik Mina nak makan mee n bihun tu banyak2, if not lagi byk leftover la..sayang je. Shud have order for 2 pax je sebenarnya. 

Bangun pagi hirup udara nyaman. Kabus tebal, udara sejuk....bestnyeeee kalau hari2 macam ni kan cekpen kannnnnnn....Nak usha banglo ke tuuuuuu.

Breakfast at The Patio. One of the criteria hotel yg kitorang nak duduk, kena ada breakfast yg Awish suka. If not aku nak cekpen book Old Smoke tu, macam teringin nak rasa duduk situ. We want to start the day in good mood kan, so this boy must eat his favourite bihun goreng. Old smoke ada english breakfast je katanya, so nanti ada orang tak kenyang and grumpy all day long. Ok lah menu breakfast, yg best Patio sbb kat luar kan, dgn sejuknya gigil-gigil, pastu minum teh panas2...ahhhhh nikmat. Kitorang peminat teh O..so mmg heaven lah sana sini tehhhhhh je manjang.

The Strawberry Cannot Pick Time

Since tak boleh strawberry picking this time kan, so jalan2 aje tengok2. Sambil2 jalan tu kita dengar mina meratib "mother, can u buy ......". " mother what time we going to buy...." "mother, can we go to the shop now to buy....." many2 times. Rasanya tak cukup bijik tasbih nak kira. Awish pulak meratib nak pistol. Very nice combination of meratibnes from these two.

OK. After we heard enough (tak boleh tahan dahhhh), so we bring them to the nearest shop. Ask them to promise to 'stop asking us to buy anything else'. 

They get to buy 1 item only. 

They both agreed. 

Ahhh lega....at least for the next couple of days. So mina choose ear muff, Awsih pistol, sarah of cos beli apa mina beli.

The Bharat Tea Plantation and Sg Palas Boh Tea Plantation

 

Singgah Bharat Cameron Valley ni masa hari kitorang naik ke sini. Memang tak puas, sbb cantiknyeee pemandangan kan. Punyalah luas kan, tapi tak panas. Cuba korang gi ladang nenas....luas pun memang luaslah kan, tapi dia punya panas hah hadaplah heheh.

Sg Palas Boh Tea Plantation. Nak tunjuk kat AMS tea making process. But the traffic really bad. Tak bergerak, then berselisih mmg sebelah tayar tu anytime je join ladang teh ni. So we decided to make a u-turn whenever its possible. So this is the closes we get to BOH. Takde rezeki, maybe next time boleh datang time yg tak peak sangat.

The Bee Farm

The largest indoor maze tutup. Elok. So kitorang round2 kat Bee Farm. Dgn all the bee flying around, pesan kat AMS not to provoke them. 

The Public Playground

Public playground kat Tanah Rata. Besar dan luas. Puas lah AMS main. Playground tu ada yg from my design. I used to work with the playground manufacturer back in year 2000. Masa tu baru lepas grad. Now  my kids yg main hehehe. Yg giant fruits tu macam bukan tempat utk main sbb actually berpagar rendah keliling tu. But since semua orang serbu, kita pun serbu jugaklah. I find it dangerous jugak ye kalau tergelincir mmg batu2 keras tu konfem lagi keras dari kepala budak kan. Just be extra careful, sendiri main sendiri tanggung lah kan.

The doing nothing time

 Killing time in the car......camwhoring.

Watching tv dan berendam hippo style.

Hot tea + cookies = yummy tummy

 Skodeng santa cuci pinggan.

 Looking for nasi goreng in the menu. Kata nak diet nasi...tapi nasi jugak yg dicarik. Nasiblah perut makin memboyot awish oiiii.

 Palm print.

OMG!!!!

Hehe..reach home safe and sound around 3pm. Looking forward next trip on CNY....tak sabarnyaaaaa.
