Strawberry Shortcake Trip Part 1

20/12/2008

We have been planning a trip to Cameron Highlands few months ago.
The date has been set and we have even booked for the apartment.
However, Yvonne couldn't join us last minute due to some emergency matter.
Ended up 6 of us going for the trip.
We drove 2 cars up there, and the journey took us about 4 hours to arrive at Cameron.


We stopped by at this Greenview Garden to have a short break.
The guys even bought ice cream to eat, enjoying the cooling weather!



We were supposed to check-in at 1pm. Unfortunately, the room was yet to be ready.
We were told that we could only check-in around 2pm.
So went to have our lunch at T-cafe as I was craving for scones!!!
Heard that they have the best scones in Cameron!
Well, T-cafe is like a family-run restaurant.
So it's kind of home feel inside.


Okay, so this is the scone.


They even have the ready mix scone flour selling so that you can make your own scone at home.
The scone is not bad, but it will be really nice if they could provide fresh home made strawberry jam together with fresh cream!
I'm missing the Devonshire Tea set that I had in Shot Tower, Hobart.
Really nice yummy scones and jams and also a pot of hot English Tea!



We went to visit another Flower farm after we had checked-into the apartment right after lunch.








This is the prettiest flowers I saw up there!
Nicely in pink & white combination!
It's called as Azelea (杜鵑).
A big pot costs RM 58 whereas a small pot costs RM 25.




Just when we were happily taking pics at these flowers and cactus farms.
Bryan found out that he had lost his wallet!!!
We tried to search around but couldn't find it.
So we helped him to call the banks to cut off his ATM and credit cards.
And we also went to the Brinchang police station to make apolice report on this.
The funniest part is each of us need to get the visitor's pass in order to enter the police station.
It's really a joke!
What if I'm in dangerous and I need to go straight into the police station immediately?
I really can't understand what is the purpose for that!

Anyway,I have just received the good news from Bryan informing us that one of the worker in the cactus farm found his wallet.
Everything was still there except his RM 200 cash.
He should really be grateful and thank god for this!

That incident didn't really screw up our holiday plan as Bryan is still fine.
So we went to have steamboat dinner after the police report.




We went to walk around the night market but too bad it was raining half way!
Just right after we bought some must have local food like steam sweet potato, fried potatoes balls, steam sweet corns. And it came the rain!
We have no choice but to go back to the apartment earlier to have shower.

They guys were having their earlier mahjong session.

And then it comes to the present exchange session!
This year is different from the previous year as we have draw lots earlier in order to know who should we buy the present for.
So it make a lot more easier in choosing the gift as we know what should we buy for that specific person.

The drinking session before the game starts!

Looks like I'm enjoying drinking my orange vodka! As it's so fruity based!

Kiew was the camera girl for this pic!

Kiew was the "Santa Rina" that night, busy giving out the gifts that we have gathered in the bag.
As Yvonne was supposed to buy her the gift and she was the one who's in-charge for Yvonne's present. Since Yvonne is not there, so they'll only exchange themselves back in KL.

Jet's gift from Ying.

Seng's gift from Bryan.

Ying's gift from me! Sweetscents Pigments especially for her!

Bryan's gift from Seng

My gift from Jet. It's a bracelet.

It was fun throughout the night as we were chatting about everything till 2am.
But we still manage to have a good sleep and woke up at 8am. Haha!
