I'm Back!

After roughly 3 days and about 20-odd hours of driving, I'm back! We spent about 2 days in Cameron Highlands and on the last day, we drove down to Melacca for a lil shopping.

1st night

The trip started off at 11+ on Thursday night. Everyone gathered and we had supper at Jurong West St 91. So we only drove into Malaysia at around 1.30+. We went so late partly cos we wanted to beat the jam. I guess you could say we did. So anyway, we stayed at my cousin Ruyi's house in Kulai for the night and set out for Cameron the next morning.

1st Day

Stumbled into Cameron mid-afternoon, settled into our apartment, shared by 12 adults, with only 2 toilets and a pretty pathetic kitchen. After that, we went for a controversial dinner at the hotel's restaurant and then headed for the night market. Nothing much to shop there, just vegetables, fruits, plants, knick-nacks and plenty of strawberries.

2nd Day

Woke up pretty early, walked down to a local market and bought some snacks. Against our will, we were forced to walk 2km++ to Boh tea plantation. (It's a long story there... ) All 10 of us got pretty pissed off, cos it was my aunt and uncle's idea to walk, but we made a bad situation good! We took our time and sang songs and enjoyed the scenery! After that, we went to some cactus farm, which also had other plants. Oh, and there were strawberries too. Even a whole shop filled with strawberries stuff. We then went back, took a shower and went for dinner at a sweet small restaurant. Went home, had some vodka-sprite to warm ourselves, watched TV, played cards and went to bed.

3rd Day

Checked out at around 8, went for breakfast, drove about 4 hours to Melacca. Had a lovely lunch: chicken rice balls!!! Love those chicken rice balls... even bought a shirt that said I love them! Shopped there for only about 3 hours, but thoroughly enjoyed it, then went for dinner. It was a pretty quiet dinner, but alright. I always have stomach issues when travelling, and I didn't have much appetite. After that, we travelled another 3-4 hours or so and then we were home!

So it was a pretty alright trip, I liked the drive and most of the company... :) Did a lil shopping, enjoyed the cool weather of Cameron and tolerated the sweltering heat of Melacca!

Vacation over!
