Fraser hill & Malacca trip (6/3/10)

We woke up at 4.30am, and Joe came and fetch us at 5am. That was super early and not even a bird can be heard chirping on the trees.  My sis had do research, so basically I can just rest on the car. But I cant as Joe was speeding too fast that I did not dare to sleep. My cousin, Hui Ping, on the other hand was able to read her story book.

Stadium that we passed by 

It was already 10am but we were not yet at the foot of Fraser Hill! On the way, we tried to look for dam in the printouts that my sis photocopied. But to no avail.

We have to stop here as the timing now was for downhill vehicles. There was only one way to and from Fraser Hill - Jalan Gap.

The drivers need to be aware of the time so that they do not need to wait for another hr. Each interval is 40mins as 20mins is for the buffer time so that no vehicle would still be at Jalan Gap when they chnage the traffic flow.

Welcome to Negeri Selangor

It was quite slippery as the rain had just stopped. Moreover, my sandals did not have enough friction and I almost slipped.

It was not cold up here.

This way please

We did not wait for long before the gate was open for up hill. We were second in queue, but the red van in front stopped halfway to let us over take as Joe was driving too close. The path up was another winding road. Lucky, I survived all!

Puncak Inn

Famous clock tower

There were only 4 or 5 eateries in Fraser Hill @@ This famous laksa at Kheng Yuen Lee Restaurant was closed. And it seems they were closed for good. Cant blamed them, so little people here.

people filming here

In the end, we settled our lunch at Puncak Inn as and the other eateries were being filmed or specialised in seafood, which I am allergy to.

Nasi Lemak - RM11. So spicy and not nice at all! All the food we ordered were awful.

Next, we went to check in our apartment - Fraser's Siverpark Resort

At the receiption.

The grass matched exactly with the bunglow

Different colourful flowers we saw on the way

The resort was so run down.

A lake.

I dont think there is a bank here.

I guess everyone can followed rule #1, but as for #2, we all left shoeprints instead of footprints!

There were nothing more to explore as the other side was all the telecom structure and left were some long trails which we do not have enough time to complete. Hence we went to see Jeriau waterfall.

Flower on the way

Fungus on dead tree trunk

The waterfall is 6m tall. It was quite a dissapointment as I have expected the waterfall to be beautiful but it was muddy here.

Pipe which help to filter some of the water downstream.

The pool was not deep as kids played around here.

Stairs leading down to waterfall.

A small hut

We went on to The Smokehouse to have high tea which starts at 3pm.

European style

We tour around the place while we wait for the high tea to be served.

Does the clock still works?

Warming my hand at the fireplace

Patio

2 Devonshire Cream tea set, Tuna sandwich, Choc Lava cake and 2 additional tea. The total cost was RM105.80 ~ S$44 which was ~S$11 per px.
I loved this scone. The cream, strawberry jam and butter made this scone perfect. At least I felt that I have not wasted my time here.

Banga and mash

Tuna sandwich

We went back to our apartment to have a rest.

Dusk

We saw monkeys climbling around. Joe throw potato chips to chase them away before locking the window.

We ate cup noodles for dinner since everyone was lasy to go out and the eateries do not sell nice food. There were limited TV channels and so we played disc games.

My sis brought those wines as nobody drank at home. Fortunately, I did not drink alot as I did not lose alot.

We closed all the windows and doors as all the insects want to come into the house. We spent quite sometimes taking the photo of this moth although we still could not capture a nice shot of it.
Since all windows were closed, we dragged the bed to the living room to sleep as there were only ceiling fan in the living room.
