Cameron Highlands trip

I'm back from my long-awaited trouble-causing trip. It's really good to have at least few days away from the city's heat and to somewhere so high up and the cooling weather and beautiful scenery. 

Nik and I spent 2 nights at Equatorial Hotel Cameron Highlands near Kea Farm, further up from Brinchang. The hotel located at the peak, so it is naturally the coolest. Really, when the room fan is on I was complaining it was too cold. Lol. Walking distance to all hotspots like buttefly farm etc. They offer this good cash-back offer especially for couples, where you pay around RM198++ a night and get RM88 F&B allowance a night, to spend at their hotel restaurants. And I tell you, their food at Coffee Shop will NOT disappoint you. I didn't take any photos of the food, as we were too busy gorging ourselves with it. But it really worth a try, and their freshly brewed coffee is really really good too!

We drove there, the journey took about 2 to 3 hours using the new road up to Camerons. Just follow the signboard that says towards Simpang Pulai, and NOT the turning into Genting Highlands which comes before that. The old road down is really scary.

So when we got there, checked in, and were too hungry to go eat somewhere down town Tanah Rata. So we decided to give the restaurant there a try. It is called the Coffee Shop. Simple name, but with delicious food. And yes, coffee, which helped us with the exhaustion from the journey.

After lunch we walked down to the Butterfly Farm. It has plenty of butterfly farms and bee farms and rose centres, take your own time to pick which one you want to visit. The one we went entrance fee was RM5 an adult.


*Strictly no stealing of the photos below, just a warning. It is watermarked, I just did it in a way that it is not too obvious. Think twice before you try.

Oh, they have bunnies and reptiles and toads towards the end of the butterfly farm!

Then the next day we went to Kea Bee Farm. To be honest it was nothing much to see at all. Unless you want to buy honey there.

Then we went to Rose Valley. Paid RM4 an adult to get in there.

After that we went to Bharat tea plantation which also known as Cameron Valley. They have really good specialty tea and the chocolate cream cheese was really good too, which a scoop of ice cream on top.

Can't stop satisfying my cake craving, with good tea. Highly recommended!

So on the last day, we went to a place called The Lakehouse. It's almost halfway downhill, but the place is really pretty. Tudor-style english cottages, also has honeymoon suite and deluxe rooms for RM700+ a night. Click on the link to check out their FB page.

But we just dropped by that place to chill with the nice weather before we leave, and sat down to enjoy their famous homemade scones and tea while also enjoying the cool breeze and view.

They serve scones with buttercream, butter and homemade strawberry jam, and tea :P

Isn't this place beautiful?

All in all, we didn't really go many places. Would love to go to the waterfall there sometime soon. It was still a good trip for both of us, and just the 2 of us.

Ahh, how I miss the place already.

Book Review: Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer

I don't really remember when was the last time I did a book review. Lol. But one thing is for sure I never stop reading.


I finished this book about 2 weeks ago. To be honest, I am still amazed with how this book turned out. Jeffrey Archer is an amazing story teller. Ok. Basically the story started off with Danny Cartwright proposed to his girlfriend Beth, and then they went to a bar to celebrate their engagement with Beth's brother, also Danny's best buddy, Bernie Wilson. That was the night of the beginning of a nightmare, when Bernie was stabbed to death at the back alley of the bar.


With 4 prosecution witness (one's a popular actor, a barrister, an aristocrat, and the youngest law firm partner) against Danny, who couldn't read or write. So who's going to believe that Danny was innocent?


Danny was sentenced to 22 years at the top security prison where no prisoner has ever escaped. But the 4 prosecution witnesses underestimated Danny and Beth's determination to seek justice. Jeffrey Archer's amazing tale starts right there.


This book is filled with amazement, the adrenaline rush, and humor. And until you turn the last page of this book, you will be amazed at how the story is flawlessly crafted. I highly recommend it.


Oh, before I forget. I picked up this book randomly at Bookalicious, Summit Subang because of the price of the book. It was a hard cover, veryyy thick. With original price RM94.90, they were selling it at RM19.90. I KNOW RIGHT?? Do check out the bookstore. It offers wonderful prices for good books, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Sexyback. Just kidding.

I'm not dead. Not yet.


I'm back in Blogger, after not blogging for nearly 1 or 2 years wtf.


Just a quick recap of what happened during the time when I'm gone. I am now in my final year, graduating this year (like finally). Didn't really walk around places like how I used to anymore, so expect some changes in this blog. From my last post, the one on KLIMS, got like, countless of comments. I've never received so many comment on ONE SINGLE BLOG POST BEFORE. I even deleted some of them. But the rest, spam or not, I'd just publish them all.


So yea. Things changed. You changed. I changed. Major changes about me will be mostly on my weight. Or how I look now for that matter. Mind you, I was 57kg back then, with the height of 166cm. Now? I'm 43. Underweight? HELL YES.


But so what? I get to eat whatever fuck I want!


To you people who always make comments on how skinny I am now, or how my head looks bigger than my now-smaller body bla bla bla. SCREW YOU. Judgmental or criticizing people like you, were the reason why high school kids nowadays starve themselves, and how young girls now have so low self-esteem, you just did it by just simply calling people "fat". Maybe you should applaud yourselves for that.


But I didn't starve myself. And I am sure as HELL NOT aneroxic forgodssake. I just went on a diet. Don't ask me how I did it, I won't tell.


Let's skip the details of how I lose all the weight. And back on the people who are on my nerves now. Tell you what, making comments about me for being too unhealthy (I'm sorry, I don't remember you being a doctor accessing people's health) or how my head is now too big (what do you want me to do? HEAD REDUCTION SURGERY?!), isn't going to change how you want me to look. Oh, and the girl who drew a picture of a big-head alien on a tissue paper and then waved it in my face saying "This is how you look like, your head is so much bigger than your body HAHAHA!" WTFF?! What are you, 12? I was surprised your dad didn't slap you right there, because if I were him, I would. Just kidding. I won't. Your face is ugly enough just like your heart anyway.




I can really eat. I eat like a horse. Friends who know me, they know that for a fact.


"Oh, she must have WORMS in her stomach. Eat so much, still so skinny, must be worms." Oh bitch please. I'm sorry that I can't be like you, who eats only 2 tablespoons of rice and STILL NOT LOSE A SINGLE WEIGHT. Do a favor for yourself and take a look at yourself first ok? Making fun about my weight, won't make you look smarter, nor lose any of your fats. You need to remember that, because you really sound like a jealous bitch, and I pity you. Btw, since when you have a masters in studying stomachs-and-wormatology? Are you really that insecure about yourself till you have to bring me down along with you? 


One more time. I swear I'll blow.


But pushing aside all this shit thats going on, I feel good. I never felt I looked good in my whole life before. I'm proud of my curves and I'm proud of my face. I was stupid back then when people tell me I was fat. I was stupid enough to even believe them. But we all have done things we are not proud of. At least now I know, after all I've been through, I'm stronger, I'm confident, and I'm sure as hell beautiful.


To all girls out there, don't give in to losers. They just want to see you break, and then be happy themselves. As long as you're healthy, you're good to go. You don't need a supermodel figure or a flawless face to define beauty, and you don't need to join modelling or pageants look pretty. Those are for show (and for pleasure purposes, ifyouknowwhatimean.jpg) and it's honestly getting boring to see. I see photos like that  EVERYDAY on Facebook, each gets like 300+ likes wtf. Be yourself, not what others want to see. Someone out there will love you for being you. 


Remember, you don't need to strip near naked (or show boobies cleavage) just to get more likes on your photo. 


Til then, peace out.
