The Great Man is he that does NOT Lose his Child's Heart: 8/8/10

11 June 2010, everyone's dream about to come true. All of us woke up as early as 5.30am. I did a final check on the luggage and looking around the house to make sure that all is in order. Shawn & Anvie was really excited. We left the house at about 7am to pick up the rests and off we begin our journey to...

CAMERON HIGHLANDS

"pai seh" lo....before we hit the hi-way, we were lost lor in KL itself!!

OUR FIRST STOP - TAPAH - FOR BRUNCH

We had "kon lo mee", chicken rice and asam laksa. Price was cheap tho, but not the chicken rice. 4 bowls of noodles costs less than RM10...mana mau cari in the city? No wonder Jenny thought the waitress counted wrongly!!

Some of the items on sale at the coffee shop

After makan, we took a slow stroll along Tapah street, bought some biscuits and stuffs and we continued our journey. We drove all the way, non-stop, to Ipoh...and used the Simpang Pulai exit, but again we were lost, until today, we can't figured out which junction that we have missed....that resulted us a big round before we found the road to Cameron - with the help of an "Ah Kong" from the local petrol station!

The drive was fun fun fun (for me, the driver)..winding but smooth..but I guess my passengers do had a hard time swaying left and right - 5 kids at the back of my Persona. Anyway, they managed to catch some sleep.

At the back of the Persona, the girls "cloudy", but the guys all up and steady!

HOTEL ROSA PASADENA

Our parking - 1st cum 1st serve

Hotel entrance

In the lift looked tired

Ours were triple rooms, with huge bed. Not too spacious in terms of walkway in the room. With rating from 1-10, I would give this hotel a 7. Dishes served during breakfast was a wide varities - nasi lemak, fried mee, fried meehoon, poRridge, cereals, bread, fruits...etc!!

The new strawberry bolsters

We had steamboat for trunch. The most "sien" steamboat we ever had. Imagine boiling a pot of soup without fire...yes! That's exactly what I meant. Anyway, I enjoyed more of the FRIENDS I was with.

Mom's too hungry, can't wait anymore, wants eat.....slurp...

See the steamboat pot...no SteAm at all...

It's hot, but not boiling

Anyone can guess what he's staring at?

Nothing is more satisfying than a quick view of the TV!!

BREAKFAST FUN

Jenny and I taking our chances on all the snapshots.
Joey fork-a-licious good!!

"Come lar jeh...eat lar...i feed u lor...open ur mouth...good gal....ahhhh...."

"U dun play lar....u see Aunty Lyssa taking our pics....shoo shoo.."

A treat from his sister "HOTTY BROWN PORIDGE"
Ingredients : 1 scoop white poridge + 0.5 tsp pepper + 2 tbls soy sauce + 1 tsp fried onion : stir until poridge turned brown and......

THE STREET OF BRINCHANG

People walking the street of Brinchang enjoying the cool breeze, relaxing..
so unlike the city, congested, polluted, unsafe and everybody rushing against time.

Row of shops along Brinchang

Few of the hotels in Brinchang. In fact, you can see hotels everywhere.

The Star Regency - the hotel I stayed in with my family when we were there end 2009. Ask me if I will stay here again - NOT unless they renovate and change their menu. Rate from 1-10, a 3.5 - the .5 is a bonus from me!!

The modern cow-girl-boy..pretty and handsome minus the eeee-hah!

You will see these "strawberries-a-like" stuffs everywhere in Cameron! The price ranges from RM8-RM10..not much you can negotiate

Pointing at some little white flowers

STRAWBERRY FARM

Unfortunately, the strawberry season ain't mature yet, and we missed the chance to pluck strawberries...the kids, esp Shawn, were not pleased!

TANAH RATA

Look...what are they selling in Tanah Rata shop....

Oh nooo....2 more..

ROSE VALLEY

We tot we never going to find this place. First it was raining, 2nd it was so further away from where we stayed and the signboard was not so visible. At end we visited this place on our way back to KL. It was wonderful. Below were all the shots that I could managed with my limited battery.
