Journey to the highland

In the old times, when I was in my primary schools, I used to go Cameron Highlands.
Cameron is nowhere fun to go, there are only bees, strawberries, gardens and strawberries, bees.....
There aren't theme park, entertainment center, shopping malls.
What impression I had about this quiet land was chilled air and strawberries.

But in 26-1-2013, its already been years that I never been to this place. Cameron still have chilled air, more strawberries and more bees. LOL. But the vehicles are more, more noise, the air are less fresher, the chilled air are competing with the heat from the sun. The quiet land had changed.

Here is what unbelievable to me, we spent 6 HOURS to reach our hotel from Butterworth, Penang. The traffic was congested when we had an about 1 hour rest in Rose Valley. We took 1 hour and more to reach Brinchang town center, where our motel located, this distance should took only 10 minutes! Well we can't blame, its holiday, its peak season.

The Surprising Hotel

Snooze Hotel. Image from Web.
Can't imagine the inside by the outside right?!
There we are, the Snooze hotel. This hotel surprised me. I thought it would be a lousy hotel in a shop lot with its painting not dry yet (like the hotel I stayed during my Malacca trip when I was 14). BUT, it was well designed, comfortable, lovely, clean and the services are GOOD, free WiFi are provided too! Our room is "The Lion King's Mufasa'', ''Simba'' and ''Nala'' are rooms next to us, interesting right? The room are well equipped and every corner are creatively and lovely decorated. Its beyond my expectation. Too bad I did not take much picture of this Snooze Hotel.

 Lovely and Welcoming.
Lovely decoration filled every corner
RM 250 for a quadruple room and equally cheap(on peak season). I am giving this warm welcoming hotel a BIG LIKE!!


Totoro Found in Highland

Totoro found!!
Found this when I am looking for a travel pillow in the store named Joo Seng. Its so cute that I love it on first sight and 'caught' it at RM 18.90.
>.< Totoro rocks!!



After we settled down and had our late lunch/dinner. We went to the Night Market of Brinchang. Wow it is a big market. We were drown in the crowd. I had a huge cotton candy with Adrian, it was made on spot, and we ate it on spot too, LOL. Tasted real honey directly from honeycomb! PS: Honeycomb are chewy. Honey are evilly SWEET!! Bought some honey stick for RM 1 each and are enjoying them now while writing this blog. I got myself a little cactus(I've always wanted one) at RM 2. Hope it's flower will bloom under my care.

PS: there are hell lot of hot pot restaurant and shop lot hotel in Brinchang! and water from tap were totally ICE water, omg.


Will visit Cameron Highland again but definitely not on peak season.
