Does my post title even makes sense?!
Hehehehehe EVERYONE, I'm done with Sec 4!!! For us, the 4N students because we'll be having our Ns, we will be having a study break for an entire week the next week, then we'll go back to school for our Ns (four days), go back occasionally for headstart but other than that, WE'RE DONE. Congrats to me ^^ to us, to everyone.
Just now on my way home i finished typing a post but unfortunately when i was tryna upload a picture of Clunny Lodge, (I'll explain later) it got deleted -.- but, BUT, that must be fate because when i reached home i realized i had A LOT more to add on. Change of plans :):):)
I'll be going on another trip! Road trip to a place i've been twice. OH GOD I MISS IT, Cameron Highlands :))) (double chin smiley) on the 20th to the 27th November. At first, my parents wanted to booked a bungalow, owned by the Singapore goverment, called Aloha Clunny Lodge, but we only managed (we tried real hard) to get it for the first five days, that may seem like a real heartbreaker but no!!! We managed to booked the famous Smokehouse in Cameron Highlands. Y'know the last time i went we visited the Smokehouse it was so freaking FREAKING beautiful, it was around Christmas and the place is so European style, i never expected that the next trip we would be even staying there, thank you mummy and daddy! ^^ No more disgusting Ipoh, no offense but there isn't any feel though the Ipoh horfun is amazing there (the last time we visited).
Introduction of Cameron Highlands:
The “Camerons" is unlike any other constituency in Malaysia, with a substantially different ecosystem.
In 1958, the outpost was declared a reserve for deer. Four years later, it became a ward affording protection to animals and birds.
There are six mountains at the retreat. The highest peak is Mount Batu Brinchang (Malay: Gunung Batu Brinchang). At the top of the 2,031-metre (6,663 ft) mountain is a radio and television station. Close to it is a 15-metre (49 ft)-high “Observation Tower” with a good view of the neighbourhood.
Much of the Cameron Highlands is under cultivation. There are some 3,642 hectares (9,000 acres) of forest. Jungle trails lead visitors to scenic spots, waterfalls and aboriginal villages.
Most of the tracks here begin at Tanah Rata. There are more than 14 paths to pick and choose from. Depending on its distance, some routes can take as long as five hours to cover.
Apart from its walks, the sanctuary is also known for its tea plantations, vegetable farms, orchards, nurseries, insect life, soaring peaks, nature spots, temperate plants, deep ravines, mossy forest, wild animals, serene lakes, golf links, meandering streams, jungle-clad hills, rest houses, places of worship, waterfalls, rolling greens, reptiles, colonial mansions, Land Rovers, migratory birds, animal traps and last but not least, its native population. The natives or aborigines are basically jungle dwellers. On the surface, their lifestyle has always been made out to be backward. But this has changed over the years. While many have left to take up residence in the nearby towns, there are still some who prefer to treat the jungle as their home.
Let me show you an enlarged picture of the green green scenery, isn't it beautful? You honestly won't feel like you're in Malaysia at all.
It's that amazing.
This is probably one of the BOH tea plantations, yes, Cameron Highlands are famous for their tea plantations, the tea there are really cheap i figure. I walked through the plantions before (all 3 BOH tea plantations), it smells amazing, damn fresh, sweet and i think after breathing the air i feel transformed hahahs, i'm exaggerating or maybe i xin li zuo yong (if you get what i mean).
There was this time we had a test in school and there was this MCQ question that asked: What does fresh air smells like? (something like that) And i went and chose the option sweet smelling hahahahs freaking hilarious, my friend was like "why you so gong?" but maybe cause i smelled it in Cameron Highlands before so it must be like that.
Im a retard i know.
THE CLUNNY LODGE, round of applause please! Be jealous :) nah, don't be, everyone, next time we have to earn loads of money so we can tour the world and be happy okay!!!
The last time we visited we stayed at the same place, each time we have dinner, in a long hall, with huge windows, we will watch a cloud of mist past us by, it damn breathtaking. I couldn't get a picture online of the dining area :(
It may seem like such a laid back, boring place but isn't that the point? To stop and drop everything we have here, and spend some time taking a step back and take look at the beautiful world, what it has to offer us, what we were cut out for. We go without any itenery just us, our belongings and the last memory we had of that place. That is really life's pleasures, to be with you, yourself and no not me, but your entire family.
OKAY ENOUGH HAHAS. This time, i would like to introduce you to the famous smokehouse.
Here's a brief introduction on it:
Ye Olde Smokehouse
Built by William Warin in 1939,t he mock Tudor-styled hotel is renowned for celebrating everything British. The inn is modeled on its namesake, the Smokehouse in Beck Row, Mildenhall, England, the United Kingdom.
The interior is reminiscent of an English country house with open fireplaces and wood-panelled walls. Outside, the landscape would pass for an authentic English garden.
The landmark overlooks the Sultan Ahmad Shah golf course on the Tanah Rata-Bringchang road junction. It is still a popular place for visitors to gather for their afternoon tea and scones.
We booked their deluxe room that fits four people and another room for two people (my younger brother is still considered young and not an adult so he can crash in either rooms.)
Let's take a look at its exterior and interior:
No need any explanation, the exterior.
There's some space here idk why!
Nice not? What my sisters will say "very atas right?!" hahahs lol, I'm ecstatic beyond words. I CAN'T WAIT. Maybe more excited than the Thailand trip. Who is happy for me?!
It's almost a nine to ten hours drive from here, including stop throughs at A&W and toilet breaks, and thats crazily long. Crazy, but i guess i can take that chance to revive my Harvest Moon (game) on my DS on the way hahahas. Gotta pack lots of flash lights (for everyone) for our night trekking, its a tradition, well almost, to do a night walk in every road trip we go, its frigging fun and scary!!! You never know what's out there... snakes, scorpians, and creepy crawlies, gross!!!
Hehheheheh enough now, i think this is probably my longest post ever lol, can't help it I'm sorry. I'm gonna end here and go for a shower now, seeya everyone!!!
I'm ending with a picture of mossy forest, a foggy forest most of the time in Cameron Highlands. Can't wait.
BYEBYE!
