Cameron Highland

Day 1&2

A recent trip to Cameron Highland give me a new perspective of this chilly hill town.  I resided in its major town named Tanah Rata (literally means flat land). The oxygenated atmosphere seems had self-healed my damaged biological clock, I woke up at 7am (as oppose to 11am or 12pm in KL) had a breakfast at the Malay hawker stalk before beating the path up hill.
Brincang is where the true delicious Chinese food is found and surrounded by farms open for tourist visit such as the bees farm, strawberry farm, tea house& flower greenhouses, it's a worth visiting place for tourist and local. 
There is a bus station but counting on its services is rather hard to imagine so instead I hired a cab which cost me RM6 from Brincang to Tanah Rata. Cab services is plentiful and friendly driver is no doubt proactive in keeping their business alive.
Well, chill out at hostel's balcony while read a bit for leisure fit the bill of my purpose here.
There are hundreds of DVD available at Daniel's lodge making time easier to pass.

Sungei Lembing

Kuala Lumpur > Kuantan (Day1)

It was a last minutes call that I somehow decided to take a short vacation to relax myself but perhaps the decision made was too late that my initial intended trip ( Cameron Highland) was not avail to me. All public transport serve Cameron Highland ended its services before hi-tea time. I was stranded in Pudu Raya Bus Terminal for around ten minutes. Undecided where to go. Out of no way, Kuantan appear in my head so be it. I brought a night bus to Kuantan, a 4 hours trip heading south-east. Reached Kuantan at 11pm and though hotel is plentiful but shop around at night by foot , in a foreign city (Unknown crime rate), is not so a good choice. I found myself a hotel nearby where the bus alight me at its end route.  Check-in and pour myself a nice hot shower follow by a mamak supper before preparing myself an adventure next day.
