Mountaintop experience

Leave a reply

Earlier this year me and two of my closest friends went to Koh Lipe, a beach destination in South Thailand for a “mommy holiday”. It was such a great time… you know, when you have been a stay-at-home mom for sometime and you wake up one morning not having to worry what to cook for breakfast?  Not to mention that the beach was just beautiful.  I wish to go back there someday with the family.

Beautiful Koh Lipe!

For next year, we are actually thinking of going to the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia. Hopefully that would be pushed through so I could also set my foot on that beautiful country.  Got this photo online  of Cameron Highlands.  So 2012 would be a mountaintop experience for us!  I can’t wait.

Since we would be quite far from the bustling city, I am not sure if we would have access to the internet or would be able to watch movies on cable TV. We were not able to enjoy both when we were in Koh Lipe, too– unless they have omnidirectional antennas.

So see you on the mountaintop next year, ladies!  :)

Penang: a food haven

Yes, I have heard so much about Penang and it being called a “Food Haven”– I was so curious about their delicious curry and all the food the city has to boast!

I learned that Malaysia is a very multi-cultural country. They have Indians (who generally speak Tamil), the Malays (which comprise the country’s Muslim population) and there’s the Chinese. I mean, which country does not have them? Haha– kidding!

I was so impressed at the variety of food they have there. For starters, I would like to share about our trip to Gurney Drive, one of the famous places to go to for food trip.

We tasted different kinds of noodles, desserts and some yummy curry here.  The place really bustles with life at night, and there are so many tourists!  I really had a great time there!

I have not seen much of the shops there, though, so I’m not sure if they sold buy cao cigars. We were there for a plain food trip and not some shopping spree. If given another chance to visit Penang, I would really make it a point to buy some souvenirs! Until then, Penang! I will be back… ;)
