Cameron Highlands & Ipoh

A whole busload of Lims and family just conquered Cameron Highlands! Very exciting, so many people travelling together on a get-away trip, with the noisy small little kids, small adults and even old uncles and aunties who entertained us on the way with their karaoke singing (think the old adults are even happier than the younger ones) haa..

Cousin Benjamin entertained us with his funny faces and antics

On our way there, we had a stopover rest stop at this natural waterfall

It's really a nice place to go.. Relaxing life there, nice cooling weather all round the year, and the delicous food with very sour tasting sambal in a nice way

The rooms at Equatorial Hotel gives us a 5-star feeling and it's definitely worthwhile staying there

We went to Rose Valley where there're flowers of all colours and Cactus Valley with all the funny looking shapes of "porcupines"

Group photo at the world famous Boh Tea plantation to view the tea-leaves making process. We have such a huge group and it's not even at full strength yet!!

big family photo!


and the not-so-great strawberry farm where the strawberrys are so sparse and growing in pots, ending up never go pick strawberrys.. and so, we just bought the baby cactuses home to bi xie

strawberry, these are not those for picking


The pasar malam sells a lot of fresh vegetables and other small soveniors and accessories, and they have the sweetest corn I ever tasted.. Yummy.. And just knew that Ah Long can never resist the Ramly burger.. Haha =)

see their identical pyjamas. cute! who's attracted by Ramly burger? who else!


After 2 nights in Cameron, we went down to Ipoh where the weather was drastically worse.. Hot and humid.. So much like Singapore.. =( Visited some caves and temples there and took pictures with Yue Lao. Baby, surely yue lao will bless us with blissful happiness =)

we are tied by 月老


Bumped into Ai-yo-yo Chen Liping at one of the tu chan shop on the way back.. And all the aunties went crazy like those young xiao mei mei fans. Haha.. So funny!!

Ai-yo-yo!!!!
