A lot of stuffs to do after come back to work. How good it will be if I could sleep till wake up naturally? Haha, its a dream for me. It was so fun having 2 days vacation at Genting Highland. Good weather, nice hotel room, fun outdoor theme park game and delicious buffet meals!

As I said, I’ll find out why most of the hotel room fully booked? It was due to a lot of middle east visitors. I think it is about 80% visitors from middle east! Wow, its really a lot huh? Maybe come here for summer holiday? I’m not sure.

What so Fun?

We reached at Theme Park Hotel around 11.30 morning. After registered hotel room, we queue up to buy outdoor theme park ticket. It was a long long queue. I think only my wife and me are Chinese during that time, mostly are middle east visitors. Not only that, its start raining when I having lunch at Old Town Coffee. (more…)

Time flies too fast. It was 4 months ago since my last vacation to Cameron Highlands. Next week, I’m going to take a short break at Genting Highland to start second half of the year.

This is not the first time I been there. Sometime, we holiday there twice a year. That’s because it is not expensive, fun and not far from my home town. We like the weather, games, meals, and holiday environment there.

This time I’m going to drive until foot of mountain. Then take cable car to Genting Highland. Initially I thought to stay at Awana, the most cozy hotel at Genting. But it was fully booked. I wonder why so many people visit Genting during that period? No school holiday, not public holiday, not weekend, no special event, then why? I’ll find out the answer during my visit. (more…)

It was already a week after my vacation to Cameron Highlands. I would say it was too clouded during my vacation. Our car stuck in long cars queue for about 1.5 hour in the Highway. According to Toll Plus, the queue length almost 20KM! Even their helicopter come to observe the traffics and open more lane for us.

Anyway, we still enjoy the flowers and some foods there. There are few must do if you visit Cameron Highlands:

Fried Mushroom - Nice vege snack, can buy from stall at road side (near Rose Valley)

Sweet Pearl Corn - Large, sweet and juicy corn that you never taste else where (near Cactus Farm)

Homemade Strawberry Ice-cream - Natural homemade strawberry ice-cream (near Cactus Farm)

Take tea break at Bharat Tea Plantation - We took a short break on the way down. The tea plantation screnery and carrot cake is nice

Waterfall - The fresh water at upper level of waterfall is cold and fresh!

Its time again to take a short break on this coming holidays. It is not a long holidays for full time worker like me, just a few days. But this does not stop me and family refresh ourself in this cold highland.:)

This is my first vacation in year 2008! Total of 9 of us will be staying at Tanah Rata (Google Maps), a town at Cameron Highlands. It was 8 years since my last visit.

Since these are super peak holidays season, it is hard time for me to find suitable acommandation. Most of the charlets, bungolow, and apartments were fully booked. Finally got an expensive accommodation at newly build Arabella Apartment. The price has been raised up at least 30% compared to normal rates.

Anyway, we accept that charges since we have 9 persons to share out the fees. Hope us have a relaxing and enjoyable trip at Cameron Highlands this year.
