It was great vacation while taking my companion (EOS-500D) traveled all the way to Ipoh on the 4th day of CNY (年初四) and meet-up friends there for makan-ing and minum-ing (eats & drinks) before we went for a day trip next day in Cameron Highlands for photo shooting. Well, I was lack of sleep but still able to drive for two hours journey in early morning with help from 'Red Bull' energy drink. I spent a day trip in Ipoh with friends and weather is no difference with KL as it was hot and sunny for whole day there (gao miang ~~).
On the next day morning, we started one hour journey to Cameron Highlands after few hours rest. It was raining and windy when we reached the strawberry farm but that refreshing weather didn't last for long and it got warmer (and hotter) in the afternoon. Traffic was bumper to bumper and jam like one kind at certain point
between Brinchang-Tanah Rata town. The traffic could have dragged almost a kilometer long as many cars were going up and down at BOH plantation and stuck at the entrance (WTF !!). We got no choice but drive to the main plant site in Habu town after Tanah Rata. I got to missed that plant site again this time as i never been there before as the mountain view up there is much beautiful than the one in Habu town.
Nevertheless, we just enjoyed what it takes while having tea break at the factory then hiked up to the view point for photo shooting, relaxed and enjoyed the mountain views there. On the way back to Ipoh, we didn't have much time to Cactus Valley but just stopped by at the one of the cactus farm for rest and started 'shooting' again at the cactus one by one... how nice to see so many cactus around me.
I was truly tired but really enjoyed the trip and thankful for my friends bringing me around Ipoh city and tried out the local specialized food/drinks such like Old Town white coffee; 'Ngah Choi Kai'; 'Dim Sum'; noodles and night life spot during my two nights stay in Ipoh. Might be coming back some other times but i think it has to be in next CNY perhaps. More photos will be uploaded in my FB photo album soon...
