yeah!!! as promise...i gonna share with u my "adventure" in Cameron n Genting Highlands....
1st day:woke up 4am in the morning... set off @ 5am...reach the meeting place which is the golden mile complex...apparently we reach there super earlier... so waited quite long... there were many coaches there too... so had to look for ours...mum told dad the bus plate no. is 2313... so dad went to find the coach... he found it near the overhead bridge...so we waited beside the coach hoping to get a gd seat once the bus driver open the door... however, we waited like 20min plus (almost 6am)...i gt a feeling tat wasn't the coach we suppose to take... den i wen to check out the plate no. again.... wad de hell the alphabet in front the coach was different... so tat mean is the wrong bus lah...so went to find the correct bus... most of the passengers were on board le so had to take the back seats... but doesn't really matters cos we're changing another coach @ Malaysia custom...
ok... the Singapore custom were fine...fast n efficient... but then the Malaysia custom were super slow... the queue were super long... n the officer were slow... queue for like 30min plus... end up we're the last to board the bus...on the way... there were toilet stops(talk abt the toilets later)... n finally reached yong peng... had breakfast there...
den we continued our journey....reached Cameron highland abt 6plus to 7... on the way we had lunch n dinner with the other tour mate on board...table of 10... den went back to equatorial hotel...
end of day 1...market near our hotel>>>

2nd day:
we start our actual tour around Cameron highland this day... went to strawberry farm...we can actually go down to the farm to pluck the strawberries ourselves... 500g for RM20(i think so...)....HOWEVER, due to the festive season, all the strawberries were all gone!!! not even one left in the farm!!!...much disappointment...so the farm is left with this....
den went to cactus valley… it’s super big… selling lots of plants…the roses were beautiful…esp the cactus…
but den thanks to the wonderful Singapore custom, we can’t buy any back (sg custom do not allow any potted plants)… so sad… L
den had lunch den went to the tea plantation… they say Cameron highland is famous for its Best Of Highland(BOH) tea…
den went to the roses villa… had many beautiful roses… but den I couldn’t find my favourite roses…SADDED…
supposing our nxt stop is the bee farm…but due the heavy rain…can’t go loh…(anyway I’m not interested in bees too!) so went straight for dinner… I not too sure who’s coming ( heard was their 首相) so had a BIG traffic jam… our coach was caught in the jam for abt one and a half hour(supposing to reached destination in 25 min) …the coach hardly moved…furthermore with the heavy rain…den we had steamboat for dinner…

Super messy + dirty… so I had to call the housekeeping… den we went to shop around…den went for dinner… quite ex but quite worth it too…(3 for RM 200.10 … abt sg$100) but y is it worth it leh?… cos there’s lot of food which include Local cuisine, Chinese food, Nonya food, Western food, Japanese food and Indian food…haha…wide variety huh?… I managed to try out every stalls… love the jap food most esp sushi haha… 1st time noe wad’s the meaning of 吃到吐 haha…ok fine…

Reflection:
ok… wad I hated the most is the TOILETs… all is the squatting type…furthermore is SUPER DIRTY!!!… I can’t stand them lah!!!… den abt the food provided by the tour…strictly speaking is consider quite sumptuous le… (I’m just choosy)… there’s fish, veg, prawn n soup in every meal… abt 6 to 8 dishes plus soup…I just dun feel quite comfortable eating with so many ppl( 10 in each table) so I didn’t really take the food… remb once I wanted to eat the roasted duck… I’m just slower by 1 sec den almost the whole duck is gone… wad de hell… in a split sec!!!…everyone was “snatching” n if slower, nothing is left… scary sia…
I really dunno wad’s the fun in tour… except shopping?… looking @ those plantation, flowers n strawberries…the flowers were nice…mostly due to their weather… so even it’s brought back to sg it’ll eventually die… I like the catus so much… but couldn’t bring back so only can take pics loh (above pic)
some pictures of me( i noe it's quite ugly...)>>>
