Cameron Highlands

Hi and Hola.

As promised, I would like to blog about my visits to Cameron Highlands. Actually, I am a bit disappointed because my mister didn't bring me to Colmar Tropicale @Bukit Tinggi. I know Cameron Highlands is one of the famous destinations in Malaysia, but I don't really want to get there. Since my mister really want to explore the place and this is our first time visiting there, I don't want to argue.

We started our journey after the breakfast session at Alam Megah, on one fine Wednesday morning where most of the people celebrated Hari Raya Qurban. It was 9.00 a.m and the traffic is still clear. The only way to get to Cameron Highlands is by road. Until a few years back, we could only get to Cameron Highlands from the south via Tapah but since the opening of the Simpang Pulai road, travelling to the highlands has become much more easier. The road from Tapah to Cameron Highlands is narrow and has a lot of sharp bends. So we chose Simpang Pulai route to reach there which is about 350km (approx. 2 hours) to reach Simpang Pulai from our place.  The road condition is much better here than the Tapah route and it only takes about 1 hour to get to Kampung Raja from Simpang Pulai. Driving up this road is a pleasant experience as it gives us some great views of mountains. 

I regretted to found out that the temperature has been rising and it's HOT.

Kamay Ni Hesus Shrine (Philippines Rep)

Hi and Hola.

I'd like to share with you all the pictures I took from 25th - 30th March this year which I had an opportunity to visit (pilgrimage) to this place called "Kamay Ni Hesus" means "Jesus's Place" in English translation. 

(Please correct me if I am wrong).

The 6D + 5N visits was really great. I was almost couldn't make it because I was on a three-weeks course (Kursus Induksi) during that time and the examinations was happened the same day on the day I should leave to the Philippines. Luckily, my flight was at 2pm and I go straight to the T2 Airport after finished my exams at 12.30pm. Thanks God I could make it and I passed the examinations at the same time ^____^

The visit was actually held during the Holy Week. The people are very friendly and i found that it's interesting to know that the Mass was held almost every hour, but still many people come. During our last day @Kamay Ni Hesus Shrine, we had the chance to attend the Healing Mass @The Healing Church and I could say many people are cured during the Mass.

If you want some information regarding this place, please visit this site

Here are some of it (pardon me coz i'm not good in taking & editing pictures ) :
