Hey hey hey people. I'm back.. Back from a long long trip to a couple of beautiful places in Malaysia.
I was awakened by the alarm ringing from my motorola phone. The sky was still dark. It was 5 am. My eyes felt heavy and tired all thanks to the late night sleep the day before. With enthusiasm and excitement we all left Jb to KL. Everywhere in KL as usual was crowded with people, cars and buildings. No doubt, it is indeed one of the most awesome place to shop in Malaysia. Dad and mum dropped us at KLCC before heading to their MICROSOFT seminar. Left KL and proceeded our journey all the way up to Ringlet, Cameron highland. The journey was undeniably long and exhausting. Had lunch at Ringlet which didint taste so good. We then continued our journey up to Tanah Rata and then to The Strawberry Park Resort. The road was narrow and dangerous. We as felt sick due to the bad road condition and the extremely long journey. As we approach the higher part of Cameron, i could feel the cool breeze blowing towards my cheeks and the light blue sky was just so mesmerizing. The weather and the scenery was just perfect and beautiful. Buildings here resembles the Tudor style. Everything here seems so cottage-like. As sunset approached, we then roam arround the small town of TANAH RATA and ate steamboat. The food was great and it was the end of day 1.

Day 2,
It was an early morning with the sun shining towards our face, we then left the hotel to visit all the main attractions of Cameron highlands. First up would be the strawberry farm of course. Although i'm not a big fan of strawberries but it is undeniable that strawberries looked awesome and nice to eat. Slurp slurp yumm...But but but the homemade strawberry ice and sherbet is simply delicious! Gosh... After that, we went up to Brinchang and toured the whole place. We have visited more strawberry farms, the BOH tea plantation,factories and exhibition,souveniers shop, rose valley,flower farms, butterfly farm,honey bee farm,vegetables farms and many more. The highlight of the day was going to the "YE OLDE SMOKE HOUSE" for afternoon tea. Everything there was gorgeous and awesome. Food was great although darn darn darn darn expensive!. Ate scones,bangers,apple crumble,potatoes and many more. Took lots and lots of pictures there. It was late afternoon. We moved along our journey up to the beautiful island of Penang. Reached there pretty late as we stopped by Ipoh for a while. It was raining cats and dogs.That would be the end of day 2.
Day 3,
Went to the famous and crowded market in Bukit Mertajam with mum to shop a little. The food in Penang is simply one of the best in Malaysia. I love the food there. Most importantly, it was darn cheap!. We spent day 3 touring around Bukit Mertajam and Butterworth. Ate at one of the famous seafood restaurant in Bukit Tambun. It was just so so so so good. Then it was the end of day 3.
Day 4,
yes!! Finally! we woke up early and daddy droved up to penang. I felt good seeing old building being preserved well. I love looking at historical buildings. We first checked in to our hotel which was "The Park Royale Resort". It is indeed a very luxurious hotel filled with so many tourist. Then we ate at the famous restaurant in penang road called"kek seng" or something hehe. After that was shopping time. Walked along Penang road. Bought lots and lots and lots of stuff. When we finished buying, it was already evening. We went to a famous nyonya restaurant called "The Hot Wok". Food and the ambience was great. Then!!! Then !!! shopping time again at the Night market along the road of Ferringhi beach. Tourists packed the area eventhough it was raining cats and dogs. Me, mum and sis each bought a bag and a bought a necklace for Rachel there too. Overall was quite satisfied because i bought my prom clutch and accesories already thanks to mum and sis. They picked everything for me.End of day 4.
Day 5,
We then shifted to "Sheraton hotel" in Georgetown. Went to the butterfly farm,passed by the tropical spice garden and teluk Bahang. Stopped at the famous sesame oil and biscuits store called"Ghee Hiang" to shop for food. Went to the TOY MUSEUM next.. It was definitely an eye opener as the museum was the biggest in the world. There are more than 100,000 life size figurines and toys in there. From singers,movies,cartoon character to robots,formula one and miniature vehicles. It was such a great great experience to be there.There was Lord of the ring,Harrypotter,all the horror movies,disney characters, animes,nighmare before christmas,formula one,WWF,Elvis,The kiss and so so so so so so many more. As the sunset approached, we ate at the famous Gurney drive and then yeap!! shopped again at GURNEY PLAZA. Bought lots of things again. Overall a very happy day.
Day 6,
Went to eat and proceed our journey back to Bukit Mertajam. Dropped our lugguage off at grandma and grandpa's place again and daddy drove us all to Alor Setar. Okay not to say i'm being mean of anything. It didint feel nice going there at all. Everything there was so unorganised and messy. The town was pretty run down and laid back. Government shop modernize the city a little. Daddy then drove us back to penang. Ate great dinner as Granny's cooking was absolutely great! YUMMMM!!.. Okay end of day 6.

We all went back to JB the next day with satisfaction and happiness:p
