Cool air

Because nothing beats naturally cool weather =)

Was up in Cameron Highlands last weekend. And on the way up we realised: My bro has car sickness. That aside, it was a very uneventful trip. My dad thought me something too! Have you ever seen step-like slopes along the roads that are cut out from the mountains? Those are known as... Ba... Err, I forgot. But you know what it is. Apparently according to Malaysian regulations, they must not be more than 6 per slope and each step must not be more than 6 meters high.

But that's not the case for most of the slopes. Please, those slopes are SO high you cannot possibly limit the steps to only 6! So, like most Malaysian rules, it can be altered to suit the case.

You know, altered.

Anyway, engineering is fascinating =) Especially about airports! And my dad loves them too. I suspect I'm very much like my dad. When he loves something he will babble on and on and on about it, usually to a person who will not be listening to him at all. Kinda like me =.=

So, back to Cameron Highlands. Because of bro's nausea (He should be taking hyoscine and scopolamine for  his carsickness! Or some ginger... I knew that from watching some random episode of Mythbusters), we rushed to the hotel first (eventhough I'm starving).

We stayed at Century Pines Resort. Pretty awesome place =) The room we stayed in is meant for 4 adults, as stated in the website and when we went there, I can safely say it can fit at least 2 large sized families.

The first thing I always check when I enter a room!
Because I'm a paranoid person yesh.

Pretty room! See that door beside the glass door to the balcony? It's the door to the stairs to the second floor =O 

That night we went to pasar malam. And... My mom LOVES Cameron Highland corn. I shall not divulge how much corn she bought because... It's a horrifying amount.

We tried honeycomb too! Personally I think they added more honey in the honeycomb. And some sugar too because it's seriously very sweet >.<

THE NEXT DAY!

Nothing much.... Basically, the purpose of our trip is to enjoy the cold chilly Cameron air (at night). During the day, it's a different story.

In Chinese, this flower is called 'Sky Full of Stars' (Man Tian Xing). Loved this flower since I was a young and I pestered my mom so much that she got fed up with me and really bought it... And it died few weeks later in the cold non-Cameron air =( Spoilt brat me.

More pretty flowers!

(Erm, you guys should know I'm bored blogging now =.=)



Shall end this post with food pics!

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total

SOULed OUT

I'm gonna talk about FOOD again! My favourite blogging topic muahahaha. I have other passions too but there are all pretty... Scientific? Haha they will bore you to death. So yea, food is the best topic to blog about =) Especially here in Malaysia food connects us all. I've only met a person who doesn't enjoy eating (WHY!?). She is weird (You know who you are haha) First, a HUGE cup of coffee to awaken your senses. My daddy always order a kopi O whenever possible. I think he fancies himself as a Kopi O connoisseur haha =3 But I keep my distance from coffee. Coffee makes me jittery and anxious. Even drinking tea makes my heart go on overdrive grr. Mummy has been wanting to visit SOULed OUT since awhile ago but we just didn't get around to visiting the place, until today. SOULed OUT has two branches but we went to the one in Sri Hartamas. Took us quite some time (and a lot of help from iPhone's Maps application) but we manage to find the place. The location
