Scribbled Blue

Hello guys! I am back from Ipoh. Surprise? Well, first day we went to cameron highlands, where strawberries are in abundant there. We ate tonnes of strawberries! The strawberries are fresh picked by the farmers and added whipped cream and honey which goes well with the strawberries! Of course, we visited other places like rose garden, honey bee's place and butterfly park as well! The trip was about 8 hrs from Sg to Ipoh. Imagine we travelled to Cameron which is like another 2 hrs, basically we were sitting on the bus for most of our time. Nonetheless, one of their friends brought us to some place where the hor fun is extremely nice! After a long journey, what comes next? Of course their specialty food :) :)
The next day, the tour guide brought us to a cave, and told us that we were supposed to go for the 4hrs walk, inclusive of walking on small streams and many steps. However we have absolutely no idea that we are doing all these, and hence we did not prepare for the wet activities. Therefore, we declined and change to 45 min walk in the cave. In the cave, the small openings shimmered light onto the surface of the water, making the the stream to glitter like crystals. As the cave was dark, the light shone on the walls make them seemed like glowing. The cave was quiet, and you can hear the footsteps like echoes throughout the journey. To see such beauty we have a price to pay. The long up and down steps are making us sweating, and hot. Nonetheless, it was still a pity that we didnt went for the 4hrs walk.
After which, we went to see waterfall. For goodness, the water is so clear that you can clearly see through it. The place is so refreshing and cool. A small flaw is that there are alot of earthworms, with each of the length at least 4X of your index finger! And oh no we were told to ABSEIL there! Right where the water is falling down! It will be super doper fun! But still, we didnt get to try it. Why? The 5 star travel didnt tell us that we are playing water activities there, and thus we didnt bring any extra clothings.
When the whole tour ends, we went to the nearest shopping malls to shop. The clothes there are definitely cheaper, except for some branded stuffs like Levi's which is slightly more ex than singapore. And i am truly sorry that I didnt bought gifts as I didnt see anything that is nice and where Singapore do not have.
We have a sumptuous meal at the restaurant opposite our hotel, eating big prawns, fish, etc. And we took Grassland tavel back to Singapore. We were told that we couldnt bring mooncakes back to Sg, hence I didnt bring any back. But, there is this mooncake which is super nice! But I can't bring back. :(

Well, I didnt spend much there though. About 3/4 of my spending was on shopping, and the rest food. I bought 1 pair of loafers, where I bought it before visiting other plcaes which sell nicer shoes! And cheaper. :( I bought 4 shirts, and 2 was just plan shirt which is pure blue and light red. 2 shirts were from Adidas, and OMG the shirts are definitely cheaper, with one shirt cost about $20++ to $30++. I bought a cutigan as well, which goes well with my plain white shirt. :) Shall visit more to such places more often! :)
