Cameron Highland family holiday 2016

Recently we had an awesome family holiday trip to Cameron Highlands for 3D2N . The Cameron Highlands  is  like a must visit " highlands" for our holiday once in every  3 years  . Last visit was in year 2013 . We really love this stunning , chill and beautiful green hilly place . Being an highland , the weather is nice cooling around 17 - 19 Degree C which is comfortable for Malaysian climate . There are some changes happened at Cameron Highland after the government make an enforcement not to allowed the tree to be cut down and clear for agriculture activity so you can see less activity on land clearing . Hope this enforcement will stayed forever in order to keep the tree grows and the forest become more healthier  .

For this visit we booked for 3 bedroom apartment @ Mui's Apartment , Copthorne Brinchang hill which is located at the peak of Brinchang and near to many interesting places such as KEA farm , EQ strawberry farm , Rajuii Hill strawberry farm , Nova 3D art & 7D cinema building , Bee farm and road junction to Sg Palas Boh plantation .

Kellie's Castle at Batu Gajah , Perak

Last March school holiday , we went to my cousin's daughter wedding at Batu Gajah , Perak . We booked a homestay at Baju Gajah town . We rented it for RM180 for 2D1N . The house is clean , comfortable and have 4 bedrooms . I booked this homestay via wazzup after doing some google through the website " homestay at Batu Gajah " . The name of the homestay is " D'Batu Gajah homestay " . The owner is known as En Mie . He is nice young man but unfortunately , I didn't meet him in person . Anyhow we love the place . Recommend this homestay to whom like to have holiday or function  in Batu Gajah .


Since the location not very far from Kellie's Castle ,  we have the opportunity to visit the place . This is one of the historical and tourist area in Perak . This castle is famous with mysterious story and if I'm not mistaken a film was shot regarding this castle . During my visit there was a drawing competition which was  organised by Tourism Malaysia . So we can find many people on that day .

Below is the entrance fee for the visitor :
1. Parking fee  :  RM2.00
2. Kellie's Castle entrance fee  :  RM5.00  ( Malaysian Adult with Mykad )
                                                :   RM3.00  ( Malaysian kid with Mykad )



For info. this is our first time visit to this place . From my observation this place is worth for visit , very clean and well preserved building with an European art design in Malaysian ground . If you like to buy a souvenir ,  there are some souvenir shop available and food court to cater your hunger and thirst .

The D'Art Hotel a new branch at section 19 , Shah Alam

Stayed here for 3D2N . This is new D'Art hotel chains which located at section 19 , Shah Alam . The location is peaceful and near to private hospital , De Palma and Metro Inn hotel . It is also near to Shell petrol station and eating places . We booked for a family room . The room was very spacious with two comfortable  queen size bedroom .

We stayed here because it is near to my eldest son rental  house at section 18 . He moving out from his UiTM hostel since being semester 4 student , the university didn't provide the hostel for the senior So his cost of living will getting higher compared to the previous semester . But it is ok , for the sake of education , as a parents , we have to sacrifice by increasing his monthly allowances . Whats' the most important for him is to study hard and smart with doa to Allah SWT for the flying colour result .

We spends the day by "makan-makan" , some shoppings and taking some picture as our memories in Shah Alam .
