Cameron Highlands

         In 2005, I went to Cameron Highlands for the first time for a reunion. I just attended the reunion program at Agro Technology Park Mardi & I didn't stroll around. It was disappointing. Then in 2013 & 2014, I visited there. 

        I didn't leave the house for two years during the corona virus pandemic.  Once the government announced anyone could travel across the country, I chose Cameron Highlands as my first destination. I visited there in November 2021.

            Cameron Highlands has undergone some changes. Now, they have ATV and safari in Kuala Terla. I choose safari to explore the hill. We have to go along the curving route. It is extremely dangerous, I am so terrified. However, the emotion will fade when I see a wonderful panorama from the summit as well as the tea plantation. After the safari is completed, the driver will take you to the animal feeding zoo. You can enter here by using the safari ticket. This link will show you the scenario there,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv9-HswCr4g

                             

        I was hungry after spending time at the Animal Feeding Zoo so, I ate at Cameron Valley Tea House which is close by. The tea here is quite tasty. Even if the price is high, I will never regret drinking here again.

        The Lavender Garden also is a great spot to see flowers. The view here is very nice and awesome. There are numerous shops in this area. Plants, souvenirs, clothing, and food are among the items on sale. You can dine at the restaurant if you are hungry. There is also a prayer room. When the time comes, Muslims can pray here.

            Agro Technology Mardi is divided into six areas. They are English Garden,  Herb Garden, Orchid Garden, Rose Garden, Research Centre, and Information Centre. The entrance charge is RM6.50. All of the gardens are open to the public, and you can also purchase fresh farm products. Here is a link to a video of the scenery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C22tGnpbh6o&t=16s

            Green View Garden is situated at Jalan Simpang Pulai-Cameron Highlands. It is far away from any other attractions. Here, you will find a  strawberry farm, a grape farm, a hydroponic vegetable garden, and a lot of flowers. There are also a lot of pets. This link will take you to the panorama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vm4l1dGWeo&t=1s

            The original night market is in Brinchang and has relocated in Golden Hill, Tanah Rata. I had planned to go there but, I've cancelled after I going to the Morning Wet Market at Kea Farm. This market already sells what I'm looking for. After that, I had lunch at Medan Selera which is located opposite this market. 

           I went to the Sheep Sanctuary once I finished eating. Because of the corona virus, the Sheep Sanctuary administration restricts the number of guests. I have to wait in line to go there.

Travel to Singapore

        I would like to share some budget-friendly travel advice for Malaysian who want to travel in Singapore..........

1) Accommodation

        Saya suggest, anda menginap di hotel, Johor Bharu. Lebih menjimatkan lagi jika anda menumpang di rumah kenalan @ relatives yg tinggal di Johor Bharu. Ini bermakna, anda hendaklah berulang-alik dari JB ke Singapore setiap hari sepanjang percutian anda. Hotel di Singapore sangat mahal lebih-lebih lagi nilai currency kita rendah.

2) Transportation

         Anda boleh mengunakan public transport spt subway dan bas dari Johor Bharu ke Singapore untuk menjimatkan kos. Ababila sampai di Singapore, anda boleh ke sesuatu tempat by bus or lrt. Public transport di Singapore very efficient. 

3) Makanan

        Di sini mudah untuk mendapatkan makanan halal but, saya suggest agar anda membawa makanan yg di pack dari Johor kerana makanan di sini amat mahal. The cost per serving approximately RM50. 

4) Melawat tempat yang menjimatkan kos

    Terdapat banyak tempat yang anda tidak perlu membayar entrance fee antaranya  melihat pemandangan di Marina Bay, Botanic Garden, pantai, Marina Bay dan sebagainya.

        Pemandangan di sekitar Marina Bay sangat cantik dan tempatnnya luas. Di antara gambar yg saya ambil di Marina Bay adalah:

    

        There are many beaches in Singapore. Some of them are Tanjong Beach, Palawan Beach, Siloso Beach, and Changi Beach Park. Pantai-pantai tersebut sangat cantik dan bersih. Terdapat banyak aktiviti-aktiviti yg boleh dilakukan di sini. Di antara gambar yg saya ambil adalah :

        Henderson Waves & Alexander Arch adalah di antara tempat yg percuma yg boleh anda lawati. Ia menghubungkan Gunung Faber, Bukit Telok Blangah dan Kent Ridge. Ia merupakan laluan untuk pejalan kaki. Anda boleh berjalan kaki di sini sambil melihat pemandangan di bawah dan juga pemandangan hutan-hutan yg berada di atas bukit. 

        Pengunjung juga boleh melawat Botanical Garden for free of charge. Di sini anda boleh melihat flora dan fauna yg menyejukkan mata memandang.

    

        Most of Malaysian suka ke Universal Studio Singapore(USS). Terdapat banyak travel agent di Johor Bharu yg menawarkan tour ke sana dengan menyediakan bas pergi dan balik ke sana. Walaupun harga pakej tersebut RM200++ per person include tiket masuk ke sana namun, pengunjung tidak kisah dengan cost tersebut dan berduyung-duyung orang ke sana. Di sini terdapat pelbagai jenis permainan & pengunjung boleh bermain sepuas hati.
