Cameron Highlands

After coming back from Europe last year, Mr Yap and I did not go for any sweet vacation like this. We just went to Genting Hignlands to watch Kitaro Concert.

Last weekend (24-25th May 2008), we went to Cameron Highlands. Friday after work, I went to The Mines Fotokem to buy a Canon 50mm F1.8 II lens.

I got his SMS to ask me go home have dinner with him when I was in The Mines. Actually, we had a fight on Thursday night, after we watched Indiana Jones.

Early in the morning or the Saturday, Mr Yap waked me up. As usual, he prepared the breakfast for me, while I was taking shower in the bathroom.

After that, we set off at about 7 something, with my lovely Picanto. 24th May 2008, we set off to Cameron Highlands. The same date last year, we checked out from Vienna hotel.

We went up Cameron Highlands via Simpang Pulai. The first stop was the Rose Farm. There were plenty of big pretty roses. As big as by burger face (@_@)

Time to try out my newly bought 50mm lens. I did all the fine tuning and setting of my DSLR, then Mr Yap just need to press the shutter. The result is cool!

You see, these photos were taken by Mr Yap (original photo, never been edited by any software)

Real soft feeling

Good framing technique huh?

Red and white always the best striking match

Can you see the small dimple near the edge of my lip (my left)

Mr Yap took this artistic photo

Irresistable white flowers (what flower is that?), this photo was taken by me

The weather was so cold. We went to Brinchang for steambot. God damn. There was a traffic jam from Equatorial Hotel to Brinchang:

Found this on the wall of the steambot restaurant

Steambot for 2 person, dual flavour soup (Chicken & Tomyam)

After steambot, we went to the pasar malam. They sell a lot of strawberry products (toy, umbrella, hat, blanket, key chain and etc). I bought hair bands and hair clips with strawberry pictures on it. Before went back to hotel, I bought 2 dumplings. Yummy ~ ~

The next day, early in the morning, after the buffet breakfast, we went back to the room for shower. I drew my cat 小凤 on the mirror in the bathroom fulled with steam

Nice and comfortable deluxe room (snapshot using my N95)

We dopped by at a nearby pasar pagi. We bought fresh strawberries and honey. I bought a pot of daisy. Mr Yap will be the gardener for the daisy flowers.

Along the journey going up/down the Cameron Highlands, we listened to oldies :Que Sera Sera, End of The World, Stand By Me......Especially Que Sera Sera, the lyrics is so meaningful and it is still echoeing in the air now:

When I was just a little girl,

I asked my mother, "What will I be?

Will I be pretty, will I be rich?"

Here's what she said to me...

(Chorus):Que sera, sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que sera, sera

What will be, will be

When I grew up and fell in love,

I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?

Will we have rainbows day after day?"

Here's what my sweetheart said...(Chorus)

Now, I have children of my own

They ask their mother, "What will I be?

Will I be handsome, will I be rich?"

I tell them tenderly...(Chorus)

Que sera, sera
