Where Have I Been Lately???
The best place to be when you feel the heat is up in the highlands where you can freeze your mind & not think of the brewing stew. I went to Cameron Highlands to replenish my supply of Cameron Valley tea. My favourite orange pekoe tea. They only produce enough to supply to the highlands community itself & only when there is surplus, they get sent to KL. So I had to get my fix. My tea & some chilly winds. I found a nice cottage to put up a night in. Temperature dropped to about 16 degrees Celsius & my security blanket really helped. Its like how American Express says it, never leave home without it.
On the way to Sg.Ruil, Orang Asli Settlement
I didnt have any conquest as usual. Just me & Jesus going for a chill in the highlands. The last time I was here was with someone very close to me & we were buying plants. This time, it was me & Jesus. I came to look for the familiar surroundings that brought so much peace every time I came here to chill out. Its been almost three years & the development of Tanah Rata has caused the temperature to rise in the day. I drove around looking for subjects to photograph & stumbled upon the orang asli settlement.

I visited nurseries to look at flowers. And guess what, my rechargeable batteries ran low. Even my spares had run out. I had to selectively shoot or I wont be able to make the trip to the tea farm on the way down.
Another new beginning…
Im very curious to know how such leaves can bring so much punch to ones lives. Tea. Hokkiens & Malays call it Teh. Cantonese call it Char. Japanese call them O-cha. Im doing an article for the magazines on it & cant put it here yet but my field day was to look at TEA. More about it later. Ive got to pack up to go to diving today.
