Cameron Highland Tree House

A short trip to Cameron Highland around the corner of Chinese New Year... This time we came to a place called Terra Farm Tree House situated at the mountainside of Brinchang... A farm house that is build from the surrounding natural resources by the Indigenous people there... It is just 5 km away from the nearest town but you need 4 X 4 to access.....
From the entrance at bottom of the hill you need to walk up 400m to the Tree House where by take you around 20 min slow walk.... It is quite tough walk up for those who lacks exercise, but it sure is a good opportunity to destress a bit and feel the fresh air around the forest...
My girl is already starting to take her own sweet time with the hanging hammock...
There are 6 Tree Houses sitting along the ridge forest trail at these mountainside with very basic facility, it is a no frills lodging at all but this is the best way to get close to mother nature....
These Tree House is fully build with bamboo and palm's leaf from this forest....
Well, consider yourself staying at a 5 star camping site with an abound of fresh air and scenic view...
A good hang out time with the family around the fire wood while waiting for bugs...
Fresh air in the morning with hot beet root rice for breakfast.... what a healthy way to start the day...
My girls love this place very much and hope to come back for another stay.....

Sea Fishing

Sea fishing out of the blue.... Joint my relatives for a short trip to fish at Kota Kinabalu.... a trip to stock up for the coming Chinese New Year feast...
What?! Yes! That's right! Going out in the middle of the monsoon period.... Well, only fish around K.K., not too far off..... this is sure to be a sea sick trip...
The boat was quite cosy....
My sea fishing gear can't wait to get into action.....
The weather during the Monsoon period is always unassuming.... look what's coming next...
It can just change abruptly without any warning.....
A storm brewing in the background....
Approaching an oil platform.... where we will fish around it....
Trying out our luck around the platform in choppy sea condition.... Gonna be sick real soon...
Funny looking guy....
What a beauty for my uncle.... it sure looks yummy on the dining table, don't you think?!....
What a snapper fish....
My relative showing his fish filleting skill....
Looks delicious...But I'm feeling sick....
Another storm in the making....
The calm after... we are close to Kota Kinabalu..... Mt. Kinabalu is a majestic sight indeed...
So glad to be back on solid grounds, sea fishing is definitely not my thing.... A beautiful meal to kill my sea sickness.....
