Strelitzia, commonly known as the bird-of-paradise flower due to its resemblance; also known as the crane flower in South Africa, its country of origin. Photos taken at the Butterfly Farm in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, during my July trip…
Being a tropical country, it’s not easy to grow strawberries in Malaysia. Cameron Highlands is probably the only place which mass produced the juicy fruit in the country thanks to its higher altitude and cooler temperature.
The Cameron Valley Tea House was the first stop of my Cameron Highlands trip on July 11. Located beside the main road (between Ringlet and Tanah Rata) and overseeing the Bharat Tea Plantation, the tea house is a perfect place for tourists to have a first glance of what Cameron Highlands has to offer…
Acclaimed Malaysian director-screenwriter Yasmin Ahmad died on late Saturday at the age of 51 from a stroke she suffered on Thursday.
A great storyteller whom I personally admired, and a wonderful filmmaker adored by people regardless of races or religions. Rest in peace.
Sharing one of her last works, “Funeral”, a heart-warming TV commercial for Singapore’s Ministry of Community Development…
Will be having a short vacation at Cameron Highlands in coming weekend. CH is a popular holiday destination in Malaysia, famous for its cool weather, lush green, tea plantations and strawberry farms etc.
Will take the chance to have a blogging break as well; the blog will not be updated until July 20, CU all again then… [image courtesy of Sykez]
Cameron Highlands travelogue
Seems like the MTV Asia Awards will be back to Malaysia again in 2009, according to Korean pop mogul JYP that is.
No official confirmation has been made by MTV Asia yet, but JYP lets his words slipped with his recent Tweet…
“Sorry cuz of the Jonas Brothers tour we can’t go to da MTV asian awards in Malaysia. But I’m sending 2pm so don’t b too sad!”
The ‘we’ is referring to JYP’s favourite employees, the Wonder Girls, who are busy working as opening act for Jonas Brothers’ tour in USA; and as replacement his company is sending boy band 2PM to the award ceremony instead.
Funny thing is most folks didn’t know that MAA will be held in Malaysia again, or if it would be held at all in 2009… and we certainly didn’t know that the Wonder Girls were scheduled to come at the first place.
Dined at the New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur last weekend. It’s a branch of a famous restaurant (in Gasing, PJ) which has been operating since 1977; this one was opened a couple of years ago.
