Could anyone suggest to me. What should I do during weekend????. I’m now in the process of transferring my attitude from being such a “workaholic” staff to a person that loves balancing life.

5 years ago I involved in auditing field. Working as an auditor requires me to give my full commitment to my works. Effective works, utilization rate, chargeable hours, submission of working papers or report due tight deadline, working 16 hours in a day, are now gone. No more works on Saturday or Sunday. Working for 8 hours per day only.

Ha ha Ha…

Why I left my previous job. Sorry..I have no answer for this type of question. A moment changed a million after it. Just one moment and it fall on 27 January 2008. That’s it. It turned me from “hero” to “zero”.

And now, with a new job,, I have more time to spend on Saturday and Sunday. But what should I do??? Watching movie, dating, traveling, fishing, play football, ….hundred list of activities that I can do..but none of them attract me so far…. Hu hu ..

Perhaps, I wanna involve in community service ..but which one. I’m looking for it.

It has been a long time and I didn’t update any traveling trip executed by Boyz from Alma. Actually after Perhentian Island, we had another trip to Cameron Highland on the second day of Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.

Come on G, it was a Hari Raya and you proposed me and Anis a trip to Cameroon Highland. Hu hu..Travel without a proper plan. As usual we went into it for the sake of my closed friend, Mohd Hafizi bin Abdul Ghani a.k.a G, a member of Boyz from Alma.

However, this trip was done with short of one member “Amy”, because he had another commitment. J getting married. Hu Hu

Well, we departed early morning on the 2^nd day of Aidilfitri, using “jalan lama” old road via Parit Buntar, Bagan Serai and Taiping. At Kuala Kangsar, we stopped for a lunch time and three of us had “mee kuah” Kuala Kangsar before continue our trip to Simpang Pulai. From there we took North South Expressway heading to exit Tapah.

Along the way, I was responsible filming the trip. Oh No…where was the film?. Come on Anis. Pls don’t tell me that u already lost it. A lot of jokes happened….but u just lost it…don’t u?

The way up to Cameron Highlands via Tapah is the kind of roads that I love to see. Short straights and tight corners. Ha ha…no problem as the driver , G was already used to it ( he really likes to watch F1). The two way road winds its way up through fascinating jungle scenery. The ascent is gradual with only the drop in temperature to indicate how high we are. The flora of the tropics undergo a subtle and pleasant change with tumbling waterfalls, gurgling mountain streams, giant tropical trees rising majestically towards the sky, bamboo forest and hillside villages belonging to the Semai, members of the Semoi group of "Orang Asli".

Passing Lata Iskandar waterfall and then Ringlet we reached Tanah Rata about 1700 hours. Tanah Rata is situated 1,400 metres above sea level. The temperature here gets a wee bit colder. Great to get away from the bilstering hot Penang!

The drive up will take about one and the half hours to Tanah Rata. The first thing that we did were having “makan2” ..early dinner. After that, I bought a map of Cameroon highland and started strategizing for the next interesting place to go.

Around 1830 hours, we checked into budget hotel. Not bad. Just RM60 per night for three of us. No fan. Ha ha. The surroundings tell you why they don’t need this kind of electrical items. And there was no shop selling fan. Who does dare to venture into this business. Hu hu

At night itself we went to “night market” in Brinchang. Despite the fact that I hate the crowd, the market was great. It sells almost everything from a souvenir until a fresh honey. My favorite was a chocolate strawberry! The taste is so great (and it was my first time I tried it). The chocolate is really rich in flavor; add with a sweet sour taste from the strawberry. Anis told me that, it is one of Datuk Siti’s favorites. Don’t care. Ain’t nothing to do with her.

3^rd Day of Hari Raya

The next morning, 0800 hours, we went for a short jungle walks near to our budget hotel. There are many interesting jungle walks in Cameron Highlands. Some are just a short gentle stroll and others a half-day stiff track for the very fit. All are enjoyable and worth venturing on. It was amazing to see all the beautiful sceneries and greenery forest.

After checked out from hotel, we decided to stop-by to few interesting places along the way back to Simpang Pulai. We went to Strawberry Farm, Ken Farm, Cactus Farm and Tea Plantation.

Tea Plantation – Owh it’s darn freaking fantastic loba loba! That tea farm was really amazing. It just beside the roadside and u could see a very fantastic view from the top. It feels like a heaven that we were never imagined. I couldn’t help G to take as many pictures as he can and it’s like every second everybody had to stop to take a picture. It was the greatest moment while we are there.

All in we clocked in 500km++ from Penang to Tapah and down via Simpang Pulai back to Penang. A great way to spend our holiday from the stresses of the city. But why on Hari Raya …Ask G la..why?

I've been there..at last
