Long trip ago

Today, I shall do some travel writing. It has some good that must be stated :

1) There is no porn, so it WILL do you good.
2) There are pictures.
3) There is no porn.

So this was from a few weeks ago. On that hot and dreary day, just after my LONG period of attachment, I took the night bus with my family to Cameron Highlands.

As dawn approaches, droplets of dew are formed on the window,casting a shadowy yet romantic light upon the small town at the foot of the mountains. As you are ensconced in the comfort of your seat, it is little wonder all you can think of is your relaxing trip ahead.

In the event that you feel inclined to explore the nearby area, here is a suggestion: the small town situated at the middle of the mountain region. Here, restaurants are readily found, and you can order from a large variety of food, from Western cuisines to local favourites. A word of caution, though. Food served here is slightly different from what we usually see in Singapore, be it the taste, portion or even the looks. Nonetheless, they are delicacies.

After a hearty lunch, why not drop by the well-known strawberry farm? Here you can find rows of strawberry shrubs/ plants planted neatly, all cared for by the farmers in the best way possible. Perhaps the most fun you can have is to enter the inner premises and pluck the strawberries on your own. Not only can you spend some time in touch with nature, you can also have as many strawberries as you desire. Do note that fees are imposed for the amount of strawberries that you pick. There is no free lunch, not even fruits.

And so, here is the quiet little town we know as Cameron Highlands. Without extravagant electrical appliances and away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, this quaint little town offers one of the most therapeutic spots to leave behind your troubles. Simply take a stroll, or two, in the streets, where all you can find are vendors selling vegetables and handicrafts, and you will once again remember what it feels like to be carefree.

This is the paronamic view of the Genting Highlands. After a frew days up in the Cameron, we took a bus to Genting where we experienced another kind of therapy- retail!

All I'm saying is this- do take time off to smell the roses. You never know what treasures are in store for you; it is a whole new world out there, and all it takes, is some of your time.

Of course, don't forget to pay.
