Genting Highlands

Are we there yet?

Pine trees! Yes we have reached 1850 meters above sea level.

Taking the world's fastest cable car system...

... over a 100 million year old forest up to the resort.

Ahhh... fresh mountain air and sunshine.

Oh look! What is that thingy...

... and I wonder why are those people screaming?

Looking down at the valley with koko.

Enjoying the view from the top.

I'm hungry, let's go grab a bite.

Yummy, my favorite cakes from Starbucks.

I saw a temple down there... let's go check it out.

This is the entrance of the temple.

The view from the temple.

Part of the huge temple building.

The pagoda standing majestically at 9-storey high...

... and the huge statue of Buddha overlooking the valley down below.

I saw hundreds of lanterns floating in the sky...

... and colorful guardian dragons at the roof too.

Hi there baby elephant, you sure left a lot of pee-mail here.

Where's your mommy?

Yikes! Did you just fart?

Taking in the smells (I mean the fresh air and not the gas from our friend) before leaving.

I'm so tired I can hardly open my eyes on the way home.

Sun and Sea at Cherating

Seafront view of the Cherating beach at Ruby's Resort.

Looks like the monsoon season is approaching... the sea is choppy.

Can I put on my float coat? Pleeeease.

Float coat, check... water condition? Let's go find out.

Testing the inviting water for any activity...

I think the sea condition is at fun alert!

Which means only one thing...

... bring out the raft boat...

... and head towards the sea I say.

Watch out, here comes another strong wave.

Woohoo... this is fun.

Hellooo... while you're diving down at the ocean, can you please get me a lobster?

I'll keep a look out for sharks, kay?

Hey, this is getting boring waiting on the boat... when is cheche coming up from the water?

I'm outta here...

... and gonna swim back to shore.

*dog pant* Man, hopefully the sharks already had their meals.

Phew! That was a close call... I need my rest now.

Later in the day, I said hi to an old buddy Stout.

This is Daisy, my next door neighbor at the chalets.

Everyone say hi to Cupple.

Sharing my stories with Wang Wang, the rescued mongrel.

This is Charlie, the boston terrier.

Who constantly likes to sniff...

... and play with me.

Sunrise at the beach the following day.

This is a newly hatched endangered baby green sea turtle...

... who is taking baby steps towards the sea and I gave the little fella a nudge.

So long little fella... hope you will make it in the vast ocean out there.
