A fun albeit tiring long weekend @ Cameron Highlands

We went back for an extended weekend to Ah Gong and Ah Mah's place last weekend, which started on Thursday evening, and came back early yesterday morning.

During the trip, we spent most of the time in the car, with Ah Gong at the wheel. He's a really fast and steady driver. I would usually be very concerned if I saw the speedometer go past 90 km/hr, but the Toyota Camry was surprisingly stable and vibrated very little, I actually slept the last 130 (or more) km ride home.

Let's see, Ning has really warmed up to Ah Gong this time round, pulling his chin hairs and the contents of his breast pockets like his glasses, pen, lighter, etc. He had to relocate those items to his pants pockets. Ah Mah made Ning laugh by twirling the strings from the pineapple lantern hanging in front of the apartment.

Ning's also ventured a closer look at Uncle Yuan's newspapers while he was reading it. Uncle Da even managed to 'detect' her need to poo when she started going "aaaaaaah"! I just realized it she pooed shortly after.

We stayed in a 3-room shophouse above Joo Hin shop (RM300 per night). It was a home with basic amenities, very clean. The weather was colder than I expected in Cameron Highlands. We put on the long sleeved pyjamas that Ah Mah bought for Ning for the first time. Ning wasn't used to it, she kept tugging the sleeves and the pants.

She had a worried look when wearing her socks. As if I've made her toes disappear and kept trying to pull it off while nursing. I had to take one off before she'd continue to drink.

Funny girl.

I was sneezing away while she's still sweating while we had steamboat @ O.K. Tuck on Saturday night. She probably sneezed 5 times only the whole time we were up there.

Ate fried abalone and enoki mushrooms from the "pasar malam". Yummy. The strawberries at the "pasar malam" @ Brinchang is the best! RM10 for 2 square pack of large strawberries. The quality and value for money decreases as you drive down/up.

She's so fun! Uncle Da took some really good pictures of our little family but he couldn't download them. We really hope he could recover them.

*fingers-crossed*

  1. A nice experience for us.
    We should have more of this kind of experience!

    Uncle DA managed to recover 90% of the 'lost memory'. Saw his facebook message and the new profile photo.
