Holiday @ GENTING HIGHLANDS and KUALA LUMPUR

The last time we went up to Genting Highland, we drove all the way up but this time we parked our cars and took the cable car up to Genting.  What an experience!  There is one stage where we were engulfed by the mist, everything was white, it was heavenly like.

After check in, it was early dinner at First Wold Hotel food court. My choice was "Vg Kong Poh Chicken Rice".

After dinner and shopping etc. relaxing at Starbucks and met up with Por Huat.
Next day it was down to Kuala Lumpur.  After checking in at Citin Hotel in KL, met up with Lee TZ  and Singapore TZ and family for lunch at  Yuet Sum Hin Vegetarian Restaurant (the journey from the hotel to the restaurant took more than 45 minutes whereas during non-peak time I think would be about 10 to 15 minutes).

After lunch all of us walked to The Pavilion, in the vicinity,  it was as a Chinese saying "Ren Shan Ren Hai" so many people around, well one reason could be it was Saturday.

At Earth Kid Enterprise for dinner, organic, cooked the healthy way and wholesome food.

Also at Earth Kid Enterprise.  Group photo.  Celebrating.

Clockwise from top left - 1) at i-City; 2) also at i-City; and 3) National Monument.

At Lee TZ's place enjoying different flavours of cheese cake bought from Beyond Veggie by Secret Recipe.

This trip in KL we went to several complexes/malls for shopping/window shopping, had great food (like Korean and organic food), visited i-City (traffic jammmmmmmmm), Lee TZ house and the National Monument.
A big thank you to Lee TZ and Tatha for their hospitality.

Cameron Highlands

The last time I went to Cameron Highlands was ages ago. So for my holiday I and KLMa, GLYeoh, WYGoh, SKTan, KLLee & CYLee went to Cameron Highlands during the Awal Muharam holiday (ie. 28 & 29/Dec/2008). We drove up there using Simpang Pulai way.

The weather is good, cool and breezy, but it rain. Visited a few places (Bharath Tea Plantation, evening market, cactus & strawberry farm, Blue Valley, ..... ), many more places to visit but not enough time, stayed one night only. A good place to escape the hectic city life. There is the possibility of going there again in the future.

But be warned try not to go to C/Highlands during public holidays, oh my the J-A-M!!!!!. We wasted nearly 2 hours to reach Brinchang, the jam started about half way up.

Tea break at Bharath Tea Plantation. Brownie (with ice cream) and Masala Tea. Price RM11/-.

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.

"The Star" headlines - 'POLITICAL TSUNAMI' in reference to the result of the 12th Malaysia Election, where the BN did not get 2/3 majority, instead a simple majority and where 5 state governments are governed by the Opposition ie. Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor & Kelantan.
