Cameron highlands

Well, since no one seems to be active in this blog, nor has post any stories i guess i will talk about my cameron trip. Lets see i went with my family to Cameron on the 10,11,and 12th of january. We stayed in the OMF Bangalore, a rather old mansion build in the 1920's on top of a hill overlooking a major city in camerons named brinchang and there was a beautiful view but it was fairly deserted part of Cameron. So on the first day we reached there. It was kinda scary cause the whole place was foggy and there weren't any guest so the whole place was really dark and cold. The worst part was as i mentioned that place was really old and all the floors are made out of wood so the moment i stepped on it the whole place would go crank here and then another step and so on. The room my brother and i lived in was huge..... About the size of my living room in subang and as mentioned the place was really old. Another thing was when i took a step not only would the place i step on make a sound but also the opposite side of the room.( I later found out that if i shifted my weight on the bed a sound would come from the tables and chair( the chair would also shake a bit.). So we sat around on the first day and went to the old smoke house (had a scone which was awesome but their hot chocolate sucks and played the board game RISK. Then we went to sleep. I tried to sleep but as mentioned this place was fairly deserted so it was really quiet and even the tap which i didn't close properly in the toilet i could hear it go drip drip drip clearly. Trying to sleep that night was really a challenge after closing the tap it was so quiet to the point where my ears had that weird sound when its too quiet and every time i shifted my weight there was another sound coming from the other room. I finally managed to sleep at about 4++. The next day i woke at about 11 and we went to the boa teh plantation where we had a cup of tea and gave a lift to an old lady who came from Amsterdam cause it was raining and she walked there. (for those of you who have been there i guess you would know that the main road is pretty fa from that place and surprisingly this old lady who was about 50+ managed to walk on foot all the way in. So after that we went back to the mansion  we sat outside at the garden and enjoyed the scenery because the garden there was really beautiful, the housekeeper really worked on it, there were all kinds of roses and with the view looking down at the city it was awesome! After dinner we played another game of risk and went to sleep again . It was here that i discovered that me shifting my weight would make a sound come from the opposite side of the room and the table and chair thing. On the final day we got up wet over to tanah rata and went to look around where i saw this awesome SK methodist school( the British really know how to pick places to be schools). It was on top of a hill looking down at the city but because of he way the road was built it was actually about a 30 seconds walk from the school to the city. Best part it was quite old so its kinda like one of those movies of really prestigious old schools( wish i had studied there) and finally we took a trip down. Half way down i found out that i needed to go to the bathroom and frankly it was difficult to hold it in all the way down to the plus highway restroom. I was like in front of the urinal for literally 5 minutes.
