Journey to the.. North?

Aiyah this is such an outdated post already.
Don't mind me posting this up so late okay? I have got to work from 8.30 to 5.30 and when I reach home, I usually fall flat on my chest, on my bed. Like, really! The work is a bit tiring and I am starting to regret for asking a bit too little pay.
But nevermind. Experience, kan? *trying to lie to myself with tears rolling in eyes*

Okay about where I went last last week! Or was it last last last week? *scratch head*

Yeah yeah all of you so clever one wtf. How the hell you guys knew I went to Cameron highlands just by looking at that bush of flowers!

It was a Saturday morning. My boo and I together with my aunt and her family drove all the way up there. Hey I must say it was very boring alright sitting in the car for like, 4 hours or something. Something must be done to kill time!
Like camwhoring..
And admiring the so-cute-can-die socks I bought from Taiwan years ago and showing them off to the boyfriend while he showed the wtf-it's-just-socks! face..

And also biting the boyfriend to ensure he stays awake through the entire journey because you dont wanna die in a car crash caused by a sleepy driver even before you reach the destination..

To a certain extent, you can also play the blow-the-chewing gum game with your boyfriend and then let the "baloon" explode and you get the gums glue on your lips..
I never really knew that it would take 4 hours for us to reach Cameron. And I was so wrong to think that the road to Cameron will be something like the road to Genting. wtf someone please do something to the cameron road lah else I will probably go there once every ten years!

2.45 pm..
3.10 pm..

3.45 pm..

It's like the same path and the same road after an hour!
Just as I thought Cameron is all about forests and trees and endless roads..

A city!!! A kampung-liked city I mean.

We checked-in to the 3-rooms-apartment in the Garden Lodge Hotel in Brinchang (was it Brinchang?) which was located in the town itself.
The room

The view from the window

The kitchen

The toilet

And the tongs

3 beds in a room

The balcony facing the main road

The living room
And the Astro-less TV

I must say that this apartment is not the best apartment in Cameron. However, it is best for families to stay in as it provides all the cutleries and pots and allows you to cook there. The hotel management isn't afraid of you burning up its entire apartment.
Also, the market where there are lots of jagungs and strawberries and flowers is just 5 minutes walking distance away from the apartment! And this place is very busy and crowded at night. So if you would love to see these, this apartment is definitely a good choice. I dont remember it exactly but I think the fee is really affordable lah.

But I think one of the biggest disadvantages of this apartment is that it doesn't have hot water in the bathroom. That means despite the cold weather in cameron, you've still got to take cold shower. But of course you can still boil your own hot water lah.
The thing is, the kettle is so small we could only boil some water at once. And when we poured out the water into the pails and wait for the second kettle of hot water, the water in the pails already turned cold. -_-" so most of the time we didn't bother to shower, after all how often do you sweat when you are in Cameron?
