Back from a trip

Been out of action from work since last Friday till today, I had taken time-off from work on a trip up north to visit some relatives and going on a R&R. The weather had been hot lately, same goes when we were driving hundreds of KM up north. However, it rained when we were on our way there, it was raining so heavily that we had to slow down driving and switched on the hazard lights just so that cars behind can see us.

After settled at our relatives house, we went on to stay at a retreat called Valley Agro Park (http://www.valleyagropark.com/about.html). Things there were quite basic, no phone (and no mobile signals sometimes), no TV and aircon. Water wise is straight from the tapes, and no heater. Food wise consist of Chinese style cooking, with no pork. A simple dinner of 3 veges and 2 meat cost around RM250. Accommodation wise are wooden floored houses, some over a pond. It would be good for city people who wants get away from the hectic city life and to stay in kampung style place for a while to relax.

Next, we went off to Genting Highlands! The highlight of our trip. It was really a contrast living there at 6000ft in the hotel resort. The amenities are better of course. The weather is also cooler. Too bad the theme park was not ready yet, so it was still very much a casino place.The last time I was there was more than 20 years ago, things looked different.

Tomorrow is back to work day, holiday is over, but I'm look forward to the next one...
