Ever felt like you need a holiday from the holiday you JUST went on? It's a good thing I'm off on both Saturday and Sunday after this trip .. cos I didnt get much sleep at all during these few days.
Me and a group of colleagues and friends decided that Cameron Highlands would be a nice place to visit during this Hari Raya Hols .. so .. four cars headed up to the Highlands ... here's where we stayed .....
We stayed in 2units of 4 bedroom apartments .. and this is how the rooms looked like ..
And this is my room ... err .. I'd just like to clarify that the teddy bear on the bed is NOT mine .. it belongs to Mr Bean ... hehe ...
Later that night we wanted to have a BBQ .. we had already bought all the beers and buffalo wings and all the other stuffs .. however we were told that Strawberry Park DOES NOT allow BBQ on it's premises ... shit .. so with the sun almost down we had to go in search of a suitable venue ( well, i'm not just gonna throw away a few hundred ringgit worth of chicken ) ..
We ended up at the one of the Forest Reserves nearby - the kind ranger gave us permission to have the BBQ at the garden terrace carpark - besides that, we also had to go get our own BBQ grill .. managed to get this .. ( hehe .. look at W's gaze of amazement ) .. and oh, the park didnt have any lights so we parked our cars in a square and turned our headlights on ...
W still can't believe that the el-cheapo ( actually boleh tahan laa ) BBQ grill we bought is working ....
Of course later everyone decided that the grill was working just fine ... and ended up jostling for a space on the grill ...
But the end result .. whether it's edible or not .. heheh .. look at Fanny's face .. maybe she's trying to decide if it's chicken or fish .. or a piece of charcoal .. in this overly 'romantic' light everything looks the same ....
We finished up pretty late that night .. packed up all our rubbish and cleaned up the place before we left ... continued back at our apartments .. all the guys ended up totally plastered what with all the beers we had .....
The next day we did the 'touristy' thing ... visited the cactus farms ... the strawberry farms ..
Wow .. look at that 'sang choy' ..
Rows and rows of cacti ..
More cactus ...
And of course, if you have not had 'steambot' you would not have been to Cameron Highlands ... so ...
Lots and lots of vegetables .. heheh ..
I don't know if the group liked the steambot but I didnt think it was as good as it was hyped out to be .. dunno .. maybe I was still suffering from last night's beer binge ..
Anyways, after dinner it was pretty much an early night except for a short drive out later for teh tarik ... and a late morning breakfast the next day before heading back to Kuala Lumpur.
All in all, not too bad really for a short holiday ... just wish I knew what I ate during the BBQ .....
