This year, I spent my Chinese New Year in Cameron Highlands.
Not much traditional Chinese Dinner & Red Packet but a lot of photography!
On my way to my Grandmother's home, It was 3 in the morning at it was pitch black
I left my shutter for 30 seconds to get this shot
Around 5 am, it started to get brighter
And finally, the sunrise at 6:30 am
Went for a walk in the park that afternoon
This amazing photo was taken at my grandparents backyard
Amazing luck I had on this photo!
The next day, we headed to Cameron Highlands
It was the Chinese New Year and lion dance troupe would earn extra bucks at this time of the year
Vintage Beetle
Tea is a common crop grown in Cameron Highlands due to the favorable conditions
The cold climate and wet weather allows the tea plant to thrive
Tea leaves
Beetle on my cousins spectacle
Orange millipede
The Highlands
This red bush really captured my attention
Night market selling tidbits and snacks
Vendor cooking
I specially like this picture because the focus is illuminated
Chinese sky lanterns that is sent to heaven
The next day, we visited an agriculture park
It is a nursery and a farm
Succulent that looks like a banana!
Orchids are also grown in Cameron
Dew from watering
Pot of green grass!
P!nk
Variegated leaves
Vegetables are also grown here
Strawberry souvenir
After the agriculture park, we went for a hike in the highlands
The forest is not so dense in Cameron but much more forest floor plants
Rapids
Waterfall
Trees are also different from the ones in Singapore
The bark is smoother and the trees have less leaves
Bright forest flower
Weevil hiding in between the leaves
After the waterfalls, I took a trail to see the cloud forest of Cameron Highland
As we got higher, the vegetation got lesser
The trees were shorter and twisted at the cloud forest
Trunks were covered in ferns
It is definitely a secret attraction of Cameron Highland
Moss grew on every trunk I saw
Bird-nest ferns also flourished here because of the shorter trees
Even the trunks are covered in moss
Small streams also flows through the forest
Many jeeps were very old and rusting
After the hike, we went for another walk in the night market
Deep-frying vegetable
Honeycombs were sold to be eaten as snacks
Old Mercedes taxi, would never find it anywhere else
The next day, we headed down to my great grandmother's house in Ipoh
The highlands
The farms
Wooden hut made for the natives who would walk out the road
I took a train back to my grandmother's home
But I decided to take a detour to visit the Petronas Tower
Reflection of it
Monochrome of a superstructure
Although I didn't collect much red packet, I was satisfied with my Chinese New Year.
