Fraser's Hill 06
This is my "mecca"-16 years ago.
This is Gillian's account of our trip.
Went to Fraser Hill from Sunday (30th July) to Wednesday (2nd August) and had great fun. Tried playing Carrom, darts and ping pong for the first time. Not forgetting Balderdash (it is Bangladesh in my version). The scenery is breathtaking and the cool weather is rejuvenating. I tried imitating how a typical Malaysian would speak in Mandarin. I distorted the pronunciation of scones and strawberry (called them Si Co Nee and Si Do Bei Lei respectively). We managed to ‘punk’ Simon too, big time!
The journey there at night was fun. Simon told a few jokes but poor Justin slept throughout because he was not feeling very well (all thanks to the Chendol he had on Sunday). Upon arrival in Kuala Lumpur, we had wonton mee for breakfast and then a few of us went to get food for the BBQ on the first night. James drove us up and if I am not wrong, we made two wrong turns. When we reached, we unloaded our luggage and went to have lunch while we did a little exploration around. After getting back, the guys took a nap while the gals prepared the food for the BBQ. We had fun while doing this! We marinated the chicken wings, washed the prawns and stingray, peeled the longans and cooked the pasta.
The guys started the fire when they were hungry and ready for dinner. We had the pasta first as it was hot and that was when the action began. James and I pretended to quarrel. He grumbled about my poor cooking skills (but continued to eat the pasta nonetheless), and how unreasonable and quarrelsome I was. Of course, I went crying and locked myself in a room. The gals came to persuade me to go out and have the food but I replied with “Unless that stupid guy apologises!”. With the excellent acting crew, Simon was so convinced and upset that a wonderful time of dinner could turn so ugly. Next thing, James came to the door and shouted at me. “Gone!” thought Simon. I walked out and the whole drama ended. Simon teared. Big time! Haahaa. He said he almost wanted to scold James if not for the presence of others. See, we are all gifted! Even Wei Chin could help to convince Simon that I was really upset.
Everyone had a good laugh and we continued to enjoy the fabulous fresh seafood! The prawns tasted so sweet without any seasoning. The stingray was so tender. Missed marshmallow though (could not purchased them there). The chicken wings were good and the two variations of sausages were kind of cute. We also had orange squash and longans were for dessert.
I was a big loser that night when we played Balderdash. Could not manage to con the others. Picked up the skill and scored better the next night. James came up with his Pogo position and there was lots of other crap as well. I was laughing that night on bed before I slept when I thought about his Pogo crap. Even dreamt about it!
Went trekking on the second day in the morning after breakfast. Wei Chin enjoyed the scrambled eggs and most of us loved the chilli there (meant to be eaten with the nasi lemak). The walk was most wonderful. How many chances do I get to walk in the arms of nature and surrounded by greenery? And in such cooling weather! Was bitten by a leech for the first time in my 26 years of life! Datong, Eileen and Simon were bitten too and we all happened to be punctured by these creatures on our left legs.
We had lunch and after that, back to our cozy nest for a break. Simon needed to change out of his blood-soaked sock anyway. We made our way to a high class restaurant for our tea. Simon was talking about it long before we got there. We had imagined that we would have to act ‘class’, speak with an accent and take care of our body language. Blar blar blar. We ordered our ‘Si Co Nee’ (scones) and other food which sound very interesting. One of the waiters resembled Danny Sum. We had fun playing Scumbag there too. Justin was the ultimate Scumbag of the day! It got dark and we went back ‘home’. How time flies when we have fun!
Had dinner cooked by Simon that second night. Instant Mee Goreng. I fried the eggs (Sunny Side Up) and cooked the leftover pasta. Then we played Charade, guys against gals. I laughed until I almost flipped. Wei Chin looked like a mouse when she wanted to act out the word ‘wicked’. When she mentioned that the particular word is unfair to the gals and while acting it out by pointing to the guys, I shouted out ‘scumbags’. There was a huge uproar. Haahaa. Then she made a further distortion by doing what seemed like a movement made by fishes and I guessed ‘sperm’. Everyone laughed hysterically.
Could not sleep that night. Think I laughed too much and got too excited to switch off mentally and physically. Slept at 2 plus in the morning after chatting with Karen. Could not bear to leave the place and back to reality.
Now we are back! Zapped and back to reality! Had so much fun! See the pictures at http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/gilliantpy/album?.dir=/9e85scd&.src=ph&.tok=ph8SXSFB33Q_JJvp

Hei... copy cat... you could have done better. I did not add your 'scholar written book' in. Karen and I were still talking about your illustrations after determining the meaning of a particular slang/word/phrase, and if it can be used as a verb, noun etc. Saved much time yah? Copying takes little strength. Haahaa.
