Lost Things by Lang Leav

First paragraph reminds me of that particular shirt with that particular smell that
I once longing for.

I kept it somewhere, 

Where I could not see it everyday. 

Time pass by, 

I forgot bout that shirt and that smell.

One day I happened to found that shirt. 

The smell was still there. 

But I threw it away,

With no hesitation.

I was confident that I no longer longing for that particular shirt with particular smell.

It was history with lessons learnt.

Me'nate Shah Alam

Hari tu kami saja nak lepaking after office hours. Kami pun melepaklah di Me'nate Shah Alam. Dekat sikit dengan office.

Actually I supposed to make a reservation. Tapi I totally forgot about that as I was busy that week. Then Kak Shida sampai sana paling awal. Nasib baik dapat table.

Lama juga kami melepak. Dari pukul 6pm sampai 9pm kalau tak silap. Nasib baik tak kena halau. Huhuhu. Tapi kami order banyak tau. Dasar pelahap. Hahaha.

Overall service is okay. If you ask, staff will explain on what they have in store especially on their steak.

But the steak, nak kata sedap sangat tu, not really. Depends on tekak masing-masinglah kan. I ambil medium done Angus tenderloin with mushroom sauce. Steak was the main dish.

Our appetizer that evening was All Meat Pizza. Pizza sedap. Maybe sebab masa tu memang tengah lapar betul. Hahaha.

Then we have our Secret Recipe cake sponsored by Pika & Kak Ani. 4 slices okay. Jenuh nak sumbat semua dalam perut.

We also ordered Jumbo Beef Sausage. Tapi tak larat nak makan. Kenyang ya amat dah masa tu.

As for desserts, we had Creme Brulee & Strawberry Panna Cotta. Well I am not really a fan of desserts or any sweet kinda things, so I have no comments on the desserts. But if you have to hear me, I would say, nay, for the two desserts. But Kak Ani, Kak Shida & Tira makan okay je. They said the desserts were nice. Kak Shida boleh licinkan kot bowl tu. Hahaha.

Drinks pulak, refillable for those who order steak. So just ambil apa air yang ada. I don't remember exactly what drinks they offer to refill but as I remember they have coffee, manggo, peach (sumpah pelik rasa air ni), & few more options.

After makan, lepak sekejap, then keluarlah kami dari kedai tu sebab tengok orang macam makin ramai & table almost or memang dah full. Then kami lepak kat luar kedai pulak (actually kat parking depan kedai) sebab konon nak ambik gambar with signboard Me'nate tu. Noob gila! Hahaha.

That's all.

Cameron Highlands 2017

Last weekend kami naik ke Cameron Highlands. Actually trip ni was a sudden trip. Plan dalam masa seminggu je. Book hotel pun beberapa hari sebelum gerak. Kami tak stay lama pun, 2d1n je. Saja need a short getaway.

Kami stay di Nova Highlands Resort and Residence aka Nova Hotel. Kami book a studio apartment with 2 bedrooms and 1 toilet. Each room can accommodate 2 person. They have a living room with a tv and 2 seater sofa and 3 seater sofa. So in total, this studio can accommodate up to 5 person. Well if you bring your own futon/toto you can fill in the whole space maybe up to 8 or 10 person.

Kami berlima actually. So I was the lucky one to sleep on the sofa. Haha. Itu pun berebut dengan Kak Ani sebab Kak Ani pun nak tidur kat sofa. But ended up I won dengan alasan I was not well (flu & cough) so kalau I sleep kat sofa takdelah I ganggu anyone kalau I nak batuk ke apa kan. Tapi I tak tidur sensorang kat ruang tamu. Tak berani oiii. Kami tarik keluar 1 tilam dari bilik dan letak di living room, depan tv. So basically kami bertiga tidur di ruang tamu tu. Haha.

Kalau nak jalan selesa, masuk ikut Simpang Pulai. Jalan dia luas sikit compare tu Tapah. Kami dari KL so memang berlajak sikitlah ikut Simpang Pulai tu. Takpe, yang penting selesa dan selamat sikit. I take turn jadi driver bila tekak dah loya lain macam. I memang mudah mabuk, naiklah kenderaan darat ke udara ke laut ke, memang I akan mabuk. So the only way I can survive duduk dalam kereta dengan jalan yang macam ular tu is driving. I kena drive.

Activities, kami takde activities sangat. Planningnya just to visit all kind of farms: 

Tapi 2d1n during weekend tak sempat nak cover semua ni sebab traffic congestion. Bayangkan kami dari The Smokehouse nak balik ke hotel ambik masa lebih kurang 1h3m sedangkan jarak hanya 5-6km je.

But as we have no plan to rush here and there or must cover all the places, kami relax saja. Kami pergi mana yang sempat saja.

Lavender Garden:

Entrance fee RM10.00 for adult. Kids, I don't remember how much.

  

  

The SmokeHouse:

Kami tak masuk ke dalam kawasan SmokeHouse tu. Kami ambil gambar di kawasan luar aje. Yang awesome nya that day, masa kami masuk ke kawasan tu, everything seems normal even when we park our car. But the moment kami buka pintu kereta and out feet touch the ground, smoke are coming. Actually bukan smoke pun. Kira macam awan yang mengandungi air tula yang datang tu. Senang cerita, kabuslah. Masa tu memang raining sikit, gerimis je. But it was nice.

Boh Tea Centre, Sungai Palas

Masuk free. Tempat ni nak pergi mencabar sikit sebab jalannya sangat inconvenient. Berliku-liku is yes, dan sempit. Ada part yang memang tak muat 2 kereta lalu. Kena pandai-pandai dan bertimbang rasa dengan orang yang selisih.

Green View Garden

Masuk free. Kalau naik/turun lalu Simpang Pulai akan jumpa tempat ni. Dia kat tepi jalan tu je. Agak jauh sikit dari main place di Cameron Highlands tu.

Ini jelah yang sempat kami terjah. Kami balik pun agak awal dari plan asal. So sampai KL pun agak awal. Malam tu kami sempat pergi usha pasar malam / pasar pagi dorang dekat dengan hotel tu. Kat situ ada Kea farm, Rose Centre, tapi kami tak sempat pergi. It's okay. There's always next time. Tapi next time tak boleh pergi weekend, kena pergi weekdays. 

Betullah kata artikel yang I baca hari tu berkenaan Cameron Highlands - 'Nereka Percutian Berlatitud Tinggi' or something like that lah bunyinya. Jalan yang sempit, parking yang limited or ada sesetengah tempat langsung takde ruang parking and have to parking tepi jalan, Tempat tarikan betul-betul di tepi jalan, restaurant makanan halal tak banyak.
