The next morn, we woke up too late and missed the breakfast at the hotel. Therefore, we decided to take a walk down to the market area to find some food. We ended up having nasi lemak and maize. The maize was simply amazing - easily the sweetest maize I ever savoured, no seasoning need to be added to enhance its taste. The delightful taste of the maize was only matched by its own glorious golden colour.
Having satisfied our hunger, some of us went on to shop around the marketplace for a second round while the rest of us decided to go about snapping photos.
Eventually, some of the group went back to the apartment to slack while Chee Weng, Godmom and me wanted to linger around the flowers a bit longer. Check out the photos below, they speak for themselves as to how beautiful Cameron Highlands is.
The three of us had a really relaxed time down at the gardens. We strolled from picturesque spot to picturesque spot, snapping photos and chatting and laughing. Finally, we ended up at the edge of a hill and glanced down in awe at a farming village at the bosom of a beautiful valley.
It was mid-noon when we returned to our apartment - time for the second round of our planning session. Sean was rather distracted by his bottle of beer.
I was getting a bit restless towards the end of the meeting as well, so I decided to entertain myself by locking Jo out in the balcony and leaving her there to freeze. Check out her contorted visage of anguish.
By the time we were done, it was time for dinner. There's nothing quite like hot and spicy steamboat up on a cold mountain top, yum yum! And the star of the night was the succulent and juicy mushrooms! Everyone was enjoying the food so much that we ordered many more side-dishes.
When everyone is bloated and screaming "very full..", we went for a stroll in the nearby night market. It was buzzing with people and filled with stalls from street to street, much like the pasar malam back home. These stalls sold all kinds of food and sourveniers, and we bought some wild honey back so that we could enjoy honey-gazed strawberries. The combination proved to be heavenly.
Back in the apartment, Chee Weng was getting too relaxed and was sprawling on the sofa and stretching out his hairy legs in a bid to look sexy. The pose struck me as that of a dead insect.
After a while, people started getting bored so the guys went to the hotel lobby to play pool. I was feeling lazy and my toes were cold so I snuggled in my bed and read my comic. However, no rest for the wicked. I was soon arrowed by Boss to take photos for him and the girls. Apparently, they have been playing with some facial products and it was beginning to look like a freakshow. I made an excuse that I needed to join the guys for pool and made good my escape. Enough nonsense for a day.
