My first blog of the year is a late report of my last road trip in 2010 December.
The trip started from Singapore to Cameron Highlands to Penang to Kuala Lumpur and back to Singapore.
It took us about 7hours drive from the causeway to reach Brinchang town on Cameron Highlands. The last time I was here was early last year. I never get tired of Cameron Highlands, its cooling, food is good, air is extremely fresh, the air even smells good!! something you don't notice when you are breathing in Singapore because our air is polluted!
We only stayed a night due to the tight schedule. We bought some of the fantastic fresh corn which is to be eaten raw, some plants, fruits, jam and wild honey and made our way down to Penang. It was the weekend and school holidays so we were stuck in a jam all the way down.
When we reach Penang, there was no hotel rooms available so we panicked a little. After half an hour and many phone calls away, we managed to find a suite in Bayview hotel and squeezed all 6 of us into it.
The next day, we headed for the FOOD!! Chendol, Fried Kway Tiao, Lor Bah, Ice Kachang and all the sinful stuff!! Woohoo!!
We left Penang for KL after having our stomachs filled with all the junk food and the feeling of bliss from savouring all the famous dishes.
I visited Hobby HQ while I was in KL, they had moved a few times since I last visited them few years back. The showroom had many impressive models on display but the range of kits was a let down. The shop looked like it was barely hanging on, the remote location of the shop did not help much to improve it. However I enjoyed looking at all the finished work and I'm sure others will as well.
By the last day, I had already caught the flu bug from one of my friends travelling together and I just could'nt wait to go home. I fell sick for the next two weeks and was really suffering as the flu developed into Sinusitis and I couldn't eat without getting a sharp pain from my jaw.
Nevertheless, another Malaysia road trip in the bag and hope that theres many more to come!!
