No...This is not Sahara DesertEager to get out from the hustling and bustling of the urban life during CNY, we decided to give ourselves a break at Cameron Highlands.
When I told some of my friends that we're going to Highlands for holiday, they asked me "Eh, go genting ar?? Boh jiur (didn't invite) la...I wan go pua kiau (gamble) also leh..."
Then I'll have to explain that we're going Cameron instead of Genting, and they'll start to give me this funny look.
"Go keh-mer-ren? You wanna go bercucuk tanam izzit? Siao !" ...
Equatorial Cameron HighlandsThe climate was cool and windy, making us reminiscing about the good old days once more. I still remember that we did not spoken even a single word to each other during the previous trip. Yet, here we are, facing the cold wind and surrounded by the greens once again.
Dear with her bucket-load of strawberries that she 'harvested'Dear and I obviously had a good time there, surrounded by strawberries, vegetables, cactuses and all. We wasted no time having our photos taken all by myself. The strawberries were all so red, the veges all so green, and the cactuses were...well, so thorny?
As we were making our way back to our car, we suddenly realized that we had forgotten to buy any strawberry home! So, we have to climb up the staircase once again to buy a box of strawberries to savour at the comfort of our hotel room. Needless to say, we enjoyed the strawberries through and through - considering the freshness and the 'effort' we have to put in to get them!
Dear transformed into a big red berry after she ate themThat night we had steamboat for dinner at Brinchang. Almost the entire row of shoplots there served steamboat for their patrons. After scratching our heads for almost eternity, we finally decided to enter one of the many restaurants available there.
Although the ingredients were quite disappointing, it still make a good meal nevertheless, After all, nothing beats having a hot meal together during the cool climate.
The next day, we visited another prominent tourist destination there - the Boh Tea Plantations.

Ladang Teh Boh
Surely, this place holds a very special place in our heart..Forever.
At first I told Dear that the plantations was actually opened long ago by a Chinese merchant by the name of Boh Thiam Hock. The story, of course, made up by me but she believed it. It's enough to make me laugh for a good one hour.

A great cup of tea - truly refreshing
Enjoying a cup of Boh tea at Boh Tea Plantation itself was already a great experience. Savouring it while enjoying the panoramic view of the green scenaries with cold wind blowing against you just took the whole experience up another notch altogether.
That night, Dear got a fever. Maybe it was caused by the cold weather. So, we cut our outings short and made our way back to hotel earlier. Grabbing a few tablets of Panadol and a pack of poker cards from the convenient shop, we retreated to our hotel room. She seemed guilty but I assured her that it's okay, I'll be there for her whenever she's happy or sick. Now that she's sick, I'll be there just for her.
Carbonara...my favourite!

After filling our stomach, it's time to say goodbye to Cameron.
It had been a great getaway for us, kinda nostalgic when both of us standing there at the hotel balcony while reminiscing about the first time that we met at this very place years ago.
