L'escape Petit

It's been a week since I've updated this shrine of mine. Last week was filled with activities that I'd wish I can have the convenience of a drag and pull into the trash. How I wish!!! Bloody clients are so fickle and now I've to change the entire plans because now the place has an additional floor. Like, "what the f**k?" Don't you guys finalize how the house look like before you built it??? The haze's annual visit to the Klang Valley was also not helping the sinuses either. So, just as when things were about to look like dooms day, SP called and requested that we get away before we choke ourselves to death with the haze. So, at a spur of the moment, I gassed up the baby elephant and packed a quick bag. Off we took the baby elephant to Cameron Highlands!


What a great place to get away from the stifling heat and haze!!!! Cameron Highlands has always been dear to me.

Who wouldn't love the old world charm of colorful flowers...









fresh, crisp vegetables...





highland tea and strawberries!!!




I'd wanted to stay at Bala's Holiday Chalet again but this time round, his wife picked up the phone and spoke like she hasn't been getting it for a year. So, in return for her attitude, we stayed here instead!


Sorry Bala, you may have the most fabulous gardens in CH, but your wife's got a BAADDDDD attitude! *Merasakan ko, bisnes ko mesti lingkup nye!




The lobby and chandelier. *Matilaa chandelier fetish nih.

Actually, we didn't really care much about the hotel. There were two reasons for this trip. One, to compensate on the pictures that I didn't take last year because I left it at home.




Ada periuk kera for sale yer.

And secondly, to pay homage to the most beautiful place on earth, the Sungai Palas Boh Plantation.



This is how narrow the access road into the plantation is. BTW, this is a two way road, occay!!! Imagine having to maneuver my baby elephant on this. On to the right of the photo is a 90 deg. angle drop filled with tea bushes.

But the view is to die for.


We parked at the Visitor Centre's car park and began our hike from there.


Apakah ini di car park itteww??? Hehehehehehe...

The hanging Boh Tea house.

Camera Cap Ayam nih cepat confuse bila kabus masuk. Itulah gambar nih standard masuk longkangnya type.

This time, we have decided to hike all the way up Gunung Brinchang, which is the highest point in Cameron Highlands which is within the plantation. The entire hike is actually only 10 km to the top, but since certain areas are really steep, it will take about 2-3 hours to reach it, depending on stamina. Actually, you can drive all the way up and it will take only 30 mins but that kinda defeats the purpose of mendaki gunung lah, kan??!! Besides, it will be suicidal to take the baby elephant up this steep and extremely narrow road. In fact, this is the highest point in Peninsula Malaysia that you can drive up.



So, here we go... Dapatkah kami mendaki gunung yang tinggi itteww??? Stay tuned...
