Tagged by Angelina... Sigh...

She said:
"Well, im supposed to tag other people now. Erm, im wanna see Carmen, Samantha, yellowbanana, LEEPEIKEI, Shirley mia desktop display. So fast fast go and do k? :)

What? Dont know how to do the tag? Dont worry... Read the instruction below.. :)

Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

You can do a screen capture by:

1. Minimize any programme until your desktop is clear and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).

2. Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).

3. If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.

Then post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.

After that, tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.

Have fun doing the tag ya... :)

Cameron Highlands Trip: Day 2

DSCF2457

Yay! It's day 2... We woke up at 7am. The night was freezing cold... Can't imagine how am I going to bath. No matter what, I took the challenge and get myself wet. It was crazy..!

All the small kids were already woke up and prepared for their breakfast.
01

The sunrays were really superb in the forest... It feels like a brand new day...
02

There're alots of nice moss and plants to be photographed... since my chicken camera really stupid at its white balance and pictures are all not in the right colour, so I just plucked a fern and shoot it black & white. What else I can do with this stupid camera...
03

After packing our stuff and torn down our camp, we had our breakfast in Tanah Rata. Then we proceed to Brinchang but the traffic was terrible. It jammed..! We decided to divert our route to the Big Red Strawberry Farm in Brinchang. Lots of flowers...
04

...and cactus are sold.
05

Since I've no money to adopt an IR filter, I switched the white balance to "fluorescent light-3" mode (for Fujifilm S6500fd) and here's the low budget IR effect...
06

Flowers in da pot...
07

Next.. to the strawberries...
08

strawberry upskirt...
09

It's difficult to capture a nice strawberry because before u manage to get 1, people already pluck it... It's "self-plucking strawberry farm." Sigh...
10

Just nice...
11

The revolution of strawberry from flower to fruit...
12

You'll see antique Land Rover trucks like seeing Myvi in Klang Valley...
14

Banana mobile made new friends there...
15

Built for tough... Save-it..!
16

Nice weather thou...
17

Corns...
18

After we had enough of strawberries photos, we continued our journey. We re-join the congestion again up to Kea Farm. See, I still can pan while driving... Imagine how bad's the traffic...
13

Finally we reached Kea Farm... We stopped by and enjoyed fresh strawberries + whip cream + caramel... OMG...! Perfect..!
20

In Kea Farm, we bought our stuff there before going downhill... That's all from Cameron Highlands...
19

Once at the low land... we visited a very interesting place, the Kellie's castle. It's just nearby the Simpang Pulai toll at the town of Batu Gajah.

Here's the front view of the castle... Kinda weird for this structure in Malaysia right..?
01

The 1st building's damaged during the WW2...
02

Lots of rooms for you to play hide and seek...
03

Of all the places in the castle, the wine cellar's the most eerie... Not sure where's the little passage goes to... I din't check it out since the place's so dark and I left once I snapped tis pic... Perhaps it leads you to the sercet tunnel to the Indian temple nearby.
04

View of the Kellie's 1st mansion from his incomplete castle...
05

Pillars all the way...
06

Like the "Dark Water" movie neh...
07

The children's room...
08

It's believed that the spirit of Kellie still wanders along this corridors... But I don't see Kellie... I saw Wye Jun... xD
09

The edge of the building... round-ended
10

Kellie's old mansion windows...
11

Greco-Roman designo..?
12

The 6-storey towers...
13

Sigh... the elevator haven't complete... If not we don't have to take the stairs... For your info, if the evelator's completed, it'll be the 1st kind in Malaysia...
14

Huh..? Who call my name..?
15

Old mansion... becomes cabriolet already...
16

On the roof top...
Kellie's-Castle-15

Time to say "tata."
17

That's all from our 2-day trip to Cameron Highlands during Hari Raya... We gained experiences but missed some ketupats & rendangs... T_T

For more day 2 shots...

Cameron Highlands Trip: Day 1

01

It's the 1st Hari Raya morning, 13th of Oct... we, Wonderboy, Enigmaz, Wye Jun & I, started our journey early in the morning, 3am... not for visiting nor ketupat hunting... But to the tea farm valley, Cameron Highlands just to have our mind relax. It's been quite some times since the my last visit was on May '04 which is 3 years back and this's my 4th time to Cameron. This time really bring back my memories during the last trip so I searched for some old pics...

We used to stay at Foo's grandma's house which's located at Kampung Raja...

Ok... now the present, we left Klang at 3am and headed to Cameron Highlands via Tapah. As you know the uphill road at Tapah is narrow and winding... I've to stop twice along the way up because Wye Jun wanna puke... Of coz la... winding road + Chivas = Puke... Don't blame him, he just back from "feng tao." After 2hours ride, we stopped at the Bharat Tea Plantation to wait for sunrise scenary... but the time was only 5:45am... No sunset except stars. The stars view which you can't see in Klang nor KL. We took a nap in the car until sunrise.

Following by our breakfast at Tanah Rata... We had a perfect breakfast at Rosette Cafe before continue our journey. Our next stop was the Butterfly park somewhere in Brinchang. Not only Butterfly, there's also other creatures and plants... But the most fascinating one is the King Brooke butterfly.

What are you staring Cicakman..?
08

Raja Brooke...
09

Looks like King Brooke loves me so much... Coz i haven't bath ma..! Wakaka..!
10

11

After too much of butterflies... We headed up to Sungei Palas for the infamous BOH teahouse.

12

It's the best place to drink tea besides mamak... The scenary makes your tea tasteful altough it's bitter... serious... But the road to there's dangerous. I advise you to use bike ;)

13

14

Teh tarik satu..!!!
15

View from the teahouse...
16

17

Nearby there's a tea factory... It's opened for public...

The grinding machine... it goes round and round and round...
18

BOH... ada uuummppphhh..?
19

Ooo.. now I know how's the tea being processed...
Let me give you all a quiz,
"What starts with T and ends with T...? And it has alot of T..."
Tell me the answer if you know... ;)

20

Next is tea farm again... Soon I'm sick of tea... But this time the scenary's much better... It's before the Mossy Forest...

22

23

24

My all-terrain Myvi...
25

We met our twins there... xD
26

That's all for tea plantation... Adios..!
27

It's dinner time..! We droved all the way down back to Tanah Rata again and had our dinner at a Chinese restaurant.

28

It was abit rainy... Nothing much to see at the town... but the yellow-roof-cabs really attract me.. LOL...

29

On our way to the campsite, we stopped by the Smoke House...
30

Nice ang mo feeling...
31

32

33

34

Finally we built our camps at the Forestry Department before day gets dark...
35

Then we visited the Parit Fall... Err... you all're advised not to go there... Klang river's much better... trust me...
36

We bought some sweet potatoes for our campfire BBQ.. unfortunately... the night rains non-stop... Sigh... What else can we do... sleep la..!
