OK, the trip was not too fruitful (literary).
We did not leave till around 12pm, thanks to my lovely dad. He went out with my brother that morning to seberang and told us to pick him up there. We (2 cars) got there around 10:30am, but my dad was busy. So we waited and waited. We ended up waiting for him at a kopitiam, had lunch there, and he finally showed up close to 12pm. My mom was embarrassed, but in laws were understanding. We got into the hotel around 4pm. It is a slow drive.
Children were not impressed, they find cameron highland boring. We did the usual site seeing, went to flowers/fruit farm, went to the market on sunday morning, had steamboat dinner (a very good one, due to cold weather), we got a few dozens of rosses, etc. We left cameron around 3pm on sunday and did not get home till around 8pm (why took so long? because we stopped for dinner and toilet stop).
I can say cameron highland is our special place. During school holiday when I was form 5, husband, me, and 6-7 friends went to cameron highland for a holiday break. As smart as we were, we did not book hotel and thanks to school holiday, we stayed in the car that night in cameron highland. Guys always took that opportunity to gamble, and girls just chit chat in the other car. This must be like 18 years ago. Gosh, I’m so old now. Soon will turn 40, 50, 60 … oh I don’t even want to think about it.
Husband went back to china thursday morning after a few days delay. Feel a little lost when he left. My sis told me she hates airport. Now I can understand what she meant, I don’t like airport too. Allow me to flash back my memory … when we were little, we love to go to the penang airport. Whenever we were there, we always ordered coffee. Back in those days, the only place can get coffee with liquid cream on the side is at the airport. I love it very much. I begin to mumble jumble, I don’t know what I am writing. Other than a few things I hate about husband, I still love him very much. I’ll join him soon.
About my other world cup post: I do not watch world cup at all. I was being sarcastic when I said “It is just an exciting game. After watching the game for 2 hours and the result is 0 – 0. So exciting”. How exciting can it be after spending 2 hours in front of tv and the result is 0 – 0. One might better spend the time in front of a piece of white paper and will have the same result at the end of 2 hours.
Yes cameron is for old people, like u
Amanda,
You are a well and seasoned traveller. Penang. Singapore. Cameron Highland. Penang. China soon? Wish to learn more from you on how you cope with your life. Please e-mail me.
“Other than a few things I hate about husband, I still love him very much” Very strong word to use but I am very sure the few things you hate were minor matters compare to your LOVE for him. Would like to hear more from you at me e-mail.
He is there now as today is Friday. How soon will you be joining him there. How is life there. Must be exciting in a foreign land?
Would love to hear more from you at my e-mail.

Camerons is a good place for reitrees and those who wants peacefulness….ie why kids will find it BORING lah (don’t blame your three kids if they said very boring lah mummy).
The last time I went there we visited the Boh plantation…but i was surprise that the tea-bags they sold at there is more EXPENSIVE than at supermkts…that time i bgt 100pkts for 8.90 plus free mug at supermkt but cost $10 at boh factory without free mug….what a strange marketing strategy…moreever no free tasting of tea either..u need to buy to taste the tea there
Hope to go there during the december school holidays
Enjoy your stay in Penang before flying off again to China
p/s : football – shd be foot BORE
cheers
