2D1N | the TAY family Retreats

So after getting only 3hours of sleep from the crazy Genting review trip, I woke up at 7am the next day, took a nice iced-cold shower, simply stuffed some clothes into my backpack & breakie with the family at my aunt's bak-kut-teh restaurant
(swine flu tak swine flu, BKT kena makan juga!)
and left for Cameron at 9a-ish. I CANT BELIEVE THAT I'M IN CAMERON AGAIN! *LOL* my last visit to Cameron was only less than 2 months back!

Cameron Highland - Strawberry Fields Forever ll



Over the years, Cameron Highlands has changed.
It is no longer a nice cosy holiday with relaxing temperature. It is so much hotter and commercialized and that

EVERYTHING here is about Strawberry. Strawberry , Strawberry Ice-cream, Strawberry cake, Strawberry popcorn , Strawberry candy, Strawberry jam, Strawberry pillows, Strawberry muffins.


Jade, Molly & I chiped in some cash (500rm) & booked a really nice Apartment for our family for a 2 days 1 nights retreats. It was public holiday, so the traffic in Tanah Rata, Brinchang and Ringlet was rather insane throughout day & night. We did nothing much besides stucked in the traffic, lazing around, enjoyed the meals ( Pancake & Mom's sunny side up, sausages & toasts's da BOMB!) , watched One In A Million Grand Finale 0n 8tv. visited some farms, Fresh hand picked strawberries n yaddy-yadda...

While I am proud of a number of accomplishments, there are real costs to being unreasonable. Long hours. Too little time with family. A near incapacity for, as they say, stopping and smelling the roses.

It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between God, work, friends and family.
