Weekend Field Trip!

Hie ppl... sorry for not blogging for quite some time already... hehhehe... kinda busy with FYP stuffs at the moment. By the time I came back from doing those stuff, I was too tired to do any other stuffs. Anyways, my weekend was a fun one. I went for a field trip to Cameron Highlands. Actually it was a compulsory trip for students who took Botany Economy and I am one of the students. I was kinda jittery before the trip due to past experiences. I went to Cameron Highlands once when I was still young with my sis and my cousins and their family. That time, I got motion sickness and vommited quite a lot of times cause of the winding journey. This time it was not so bad. I did feel dizzy even though we took the newer route which is less winding but I din vommit, Thanks to the traveller's pill and hacks manderin orange and ginger flavour sweets. Hehehhe... We visited a few places like Cactus Valley, MARDI plantations, BOH Tea plantations, Kea Farm, Butterfly Farm, Farmers' Arcade and also their pasar malam which is only held on weekends. At the BOH Tea plantation, the USM buses did not go up to the plantation instead they parked somewhere and we had to walked all the way up to the plantation. The walk was very exhausting as we had to walk uphill. Not to mention the very steep steps. By the time we reached the designated place, I was out of breath and so exhausted. Funny thing is, after sitting down for awhile, my breathing went back to normal. I guess it is due to the chilly climate. Yup, it is very chilly in Cameron Highlands and it rained some more when we were there which made the weather even colder. Took many pictures at the places we visited and I bought three potted rose plants. Mum asked me to buy actually. The colours of the roses are very nice. =). We had a great time there enjoying the chilly weather and the food are ok except that it was kinda pricey. Normal lar cause the place is a tourist attraction place. These are the pictures taken at there...
