BACK! cameron was woahhh! lol. kinda lazy to update. i'm tired after 8 hrs of bus ride. so juz only summary of day 1 to 3. hahas. skip the brackets part if u want. its a loooong entry even though i try to summaries it. heh *i'm writing compo.*
thurs: took bus from golden mile at 1050pm n 8hrs of bus ride starts. sat on executive vip coach! 18 seaters. wahaha. the space in between seats was spacious and there's mini lcd for u to watch movies or play games. n so i watched DORAEMON! dozed off soon after watching n woke up in between. on the way up to cameron, i gazed up to look at the sky. the sky was clear n stars were visible. there were countless stars, so beautiful that u will not get to see here. lol.
fri: reached bringchang town (already in cameron) at abt 8am plus to have breakfast. after, a lady tour guide brief us on the tours they have there n ask us to register for the tour as they will not entertain any by phone calls from the hotel. as in if last min u decide and phone them up. so we took the agro tour: (strawberry farm, cactus, water cress field, veg and flowers farm, chinese settlements and steamboat for dinner) and the nature tour: ( a drive up to 6666feet above sea level to see the spectacular overview sight of ipoh and cameron, mossy forest trek[which got my shoes from white colour to black colour. =.=! lol] and the tea plantation.) total RM135 per person. lol. drove up to strawberry ark resort to check in only to noe there's no room available yet. =/ so my bro, flower fanatic, went around to take pictures of those pretty flowers and the surroundings. waited for like almost 2 hrs, the guy came to tell us that our room is ready. quite impress with the room given to us. a suite room with three beds which looks n feels comfy, three tables(dressing, coffee and dining), one living room, one balcony, bathtub in the toilet, tv which has countless movie for us to watch. compare to equatorial hotel, i like strawberry resort more. hehehe. slept until 215pm n get ready for our agro tour at 3pm. i will post up pics. the driver/tour guide is a F1 fanatic. so imagine how he drive the mini van. we were like having roller coaster ride. ahahha. bumpy roads and we will be having our butts off the seats and heads hitting the roof of the van. LOL. after dinner we walk over to the nearby night market to have a walk. its the same as our pasar malam, except there are lots & lots of strawberries on sale. they look so red n fresh and smell sweet too. oh ya! the weather is super nice. hahas cold n windy, abt 19 degrees. when it rains, it gets colder. rooms have no air cons.
sat: woke up at 715, prepare n head for breakfast buffet at the lobby. sat at the balcony and the view out was marvelous. waited for the mini van to come pick us up to go for our nature tour. met some real friendly, nice people on the van. first time trekking through the forest and there's no sweat and mosquito bites. but u have to wear a jacket coz its cold. lol the tea plantation which we saw covers a land area of abt 1200hectares. the area covered is so large that when comes to fertilizing the tea bushes, helicopter is being used. went to the tea factory and saw how tea are being processed from fresh cut green leaves to dried tea leaves. trip to the natives village was canceled due to the heavy rain. had lunch at bringchang town and slack dere. walk round n round until the night market stalls are being set up. walk further down to see the residents area. sheltered ourselves from the rain at a nearby food court. when the rain lighten, we bought dinner back to the hotel to eat. took a cab and cost us RM12. rather cheap. watched triple X on the tv before dinner. followed by casino royale. hahas austin powers in the goldmember was showing the previous night. lol
sun: packed our bags and had breakfast. went back to collect our bags and waited for the mini van to drive us to the HQ of the tour agency. bid farewell to some at-there-know-friends and took a 27seaters bus back. & tadah! i'm back. -.-' hahas okie, some pics to end off.
