Fraser's Hill. Genting. Bukit Tinggi

Finally finished my finals on last Friday. a few hours after my last paper, i left for Awana, Genting. my uncle n his friend planned for a 3-day trip for golf, n his friend rented an apartment unit with extra room. so me n my cousin joined in for the trip. we went to have our own fun while they went for golf. quite a nice trip hehe. 3 day, 3 different places.

Friday we reached Awana in the evening. at night we had steamboat for dinner hehe. nice

Saturday my uncle n his friend decided to go Fraser's Hill for golf. we passed by this reservoir on the way. nice view


the reservoir

then the scenery along the road up to the hill was great! mountains within a sea of cloud. so beautiful



at Fraser's Hill we walked around n took photos. we had 3 cameras all together hehe, my cousin brought his Nikon SLR (that kind of camera which looks professional with lens dat can be adjusted) n Sony Cyber Shot, while i used their old Canon Ixus (old but i m contented, dont even have 1 digi cam of my own).


nice flower. 1st time see this.


misty morning in Fraser's Hill. this is the golf course

we discovered this trail called the Bishop's Trail which went through the forest (they actually have 6 trails in Fraser's Hill, Bishop's Trail is just one of them). so we decided to went for it. hmm the trail and the surroundings were about the same as what i had during my field trips to the Gombak Forest. but this time saw quite some weird looking fungi hehe. n also..ended up with leech bite! yuck! the bites were not painful but it was so disgusting to see them stick to ur foot! 3 of them had a good meal sucking my blood, n 2 or 3 more inside or outside my shoe. i hate them.

after lunch we went back to Awana. we had fishhead curry for dinner hehe. after dinner me n my cousin went up to Genting to spend some time in the indoor themepark. we took cable car to go up to Genting. free coupons :) free for all the cable car rides. 1st time taking a cable car. started to feel a little scared when the cable car left the ground hahaha. 1st time hanging in the air.


me n my cousin in the cable car

we went for the Ripley's Believe It or Not exhibition, Haunted Adventure and Motion Master. Ripley's was quite nice, saw quite a lot of weird, interesting things n ppl. Haunted Adventure was scary! hahaha 1st time in such a dark place where sometimes ppl will jump out as ghost to scare u. dont really like to be scared this way. hehe. Motion Master was a bit disappointed. it was a 3D short movie n u watch it by wearing a special spetacles. then the movie wasnt really as exciting as we expected. thats all for Saturday.


Genting indoor theme park

Sunday we spent the whole day in Genting. from morning until midnight. enjoyed the view on the way up to Genting in the cable car. we went to the outdoor themepark. played almost everything. the 1st thing we played was a thing whereby u sit in a hanging seat and the thing will bring u round n round with u hanging in the air. 1st time hanging and spinning in the air! so scared haha.

Genting outdoor themepark


nice view right? thats the roller coaster track at the middle

the roller coasters were scary too. then there is this thing called Space Shot, whereby u will be brought up into the sky and then dropped down. the view was breath taking when i was on top. but my heart nearly stopped when i was dropped down. felt weightless all the way down, like wat they described hehe.


Space Shot

played a few more things, spent some time on the lake too, cycling the boat on the lake (u got to cycle in order to move the boat). then after we played almost everything, we repeated 2 of the roller coaster rides, the spinning thing dat we 1st played n Space Shot. more fun for the 2nd time but still scared hahaha. now i know i dont enjoy this type of rides. it turned really misty and cold towards the evening. a pity becos we couldnt see anything when we took the monorail which went around the park and also when we played Space Shot again. at night after dinner we went for a movie. watched The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift. so COOL haha. i like the movie. we went back to Awana after the movie.


i like this merry-go-round at the indoor theme park but i cant play. is for kids hehe


so i went to play the one at the outdoor theme park :p

Monday we went to Bukit Tinggi, somewhere near Bentong. the exact name of the place is called Bukit Tinggi Resort. 1st of all we went to the Japanese Village, and Botanical Garden which is a nice garden in a forest. then we went to Colmar Tropicale, which is a French-themed resort built according to the Colmar Village in France. nice buildings. saw cute beautiful swans in the pond at the entrance hehehe. then we went to the rabbit park, where the rabbits run free n u can touch them, hold them or feed them. there were some deers and donkeys for donkey rides too. one of the donkeys was quite cute hehe, walked towards us when we went close, sticked its head out n let us touched. so tame n friendly. then finally we had lunch and then went back to KL.
