Fraser's Hill Nov 2010

It was Alex's idea to have a get-away during his birthday weekend. A few suggestions did come up and in the end, for reasons forgotten, Fraser's Hill was chosen. I was all for it as I had fond memories of that place. Prefer it to Genting and Cameron as a place to relax.

So the 7 of us set off late morning on Saturday in two cars and stayed there till 2pm Sunday. Ban and I fetched Janvier, who had much difficulty in waking up (slept late due to pain from mouth ulcer) and then due to wrong coordinates, we ended a little lost. Luckily we saw the other car passed by us from the opposite direction. The irony is that iPhone has no reception while good old fashion handphone worked ok.

I still remember that the coffeeshop is at the border of Selangor and Pahang but most of Fraser's Hill lies within Pahang. It's only later on I was reminded by my parents that the coffeeshop is owned by a relative. Oooh. It was closed though.



We stayed at a bungalow formerly called Cicely. For its current name, please look it up on the net. The birthday boy banned us from using its current name :)



In the house, there were 3 bedrooms, including 1 master bedroom. Structure was similar within each room: 2 sofa opposite the bed, wardrobe on the far wall, door to a spacious room with nothing but a sink and mirror (it's strange) and then further in was the bathroom/toilet which was on a lower ground. Interesting.



Some interesting points:

• There was a fire hydrant in the niddle of the lane. So dangerous, especially at night with few lamplights.
• Impatiens flowers?
• Freestyle Jenga! Look carefully at the horizontally placed block at the bottom left. It's not leaning on the right block.
• The dam was further down from Fraser's Hill. Ominous clouds with large dam. Scary.
• The birthday boy's leaning chocoloate cake! Glad he was happy and pleased with his gifts.
