2 weeks ago, SIL#1 made an arrangement for a family trip to Fraser’s. (Yes, my family trip always include my parents-in-law and both my SILs and sometimes my BIL- SIL#1’s hubby. SIL#1 is the one who does all the arrangment and planning for all of us.So far, except for the time we go back to my hometown in TI, we have never really go for a holiday just the 4 of us, DH, JS, WH and just me, never even once we travel only with JS before I have WH. Anyhow we haven’t been travelling much lately. The last time I went for a trip with DH alone was Dec2003, we left JS behind with the babysitter)
We were quite excited to be able to get away, eventhough just for a short 2D1N stay. So all packed and ready to go. We went back to Subang on Friday night so that we would have more time for the next morning.
Saturday, we started our journey at 9am leaving Subang. Took the NKVE to Rawang, and from there took the coastal way to Kuala Kubu Baru and make our way up to Fraser’s Hill. Since it has been 2 years since we last went up (the last time I was 2 months preggie with WH), I have actually forgotten how winding the road up the hill is. It makes all of us including the maid car sick and dizzy and I dreaded for the journey to over. JS even vomitted twice on the way up. I just feel like vomitting, burping all the way. Worst still, JS is very talkative and didn’t stop chatting all the way from KL, asking a lot of questions. On the way up will, she kept asking “What sound is this” , I have to answer “Insects” “Monkeys”, I was just too sick to entertain her. We stopped at The Gap for a while, but they are closed for renovation. Anyhow, getting down from the car and did a little stretching and standing on flat ground did help to make me feel a little better. We reached hilltop at about 11.45pm. Took us 2 1/2 hour, and very tiring. Why we have to go through all the hazzle and dizziness to go up?? Because it’s a nice place for relax, nice weather, just like the countryside in UK, slow pace. The place we stayed is Muar Cottage. A very cosy and private little English-style cottage of 3 rooms just nice for the family. We always find that Muar Cottage is the most beautiful bangalow in Fraser’s. Not too big, just the right size to give it cosiness and also very upkept compares to the other.
This is the place that attracted us so much that make us want to go again and again
MIL and the kids at the front patio
There’s even a fire place in the living room.
We got to stay in the biggest room, because there are 4 of us. Still the 4 of us got to squeeze in the bed.
By the time we reached, lunch was almost ready. It’s prepared by the cottage’s caretaker, Mr. & Mrs Leong. (I find them a loving couple, in their fifties, working side by side, wife will do the cooking, husband will do the washing and also make sure that we are alright and serves us) We had chicken chop with fries and salad follow by chocolate puddings as dessert.
After lunch, dear hubby went to the garden to set up the tent for the kids to play. The weather is just nice this time, not too chilly , no rain and not too hot.
The kids are very excited. Especially for WH, he just roamed around, exploring the place.
The kids had tea at the veranda (So English) and then very reluctantly went for their nap. They woke up at about 5pm and dear hubby suggested we take a drive around. So all of us cramped into hubby’s car and went for a joy ride (bumping ride). First stop at The Paddock, but was closed, so decided to go back again the next morning. Then went to the tiny town for a while. Didn’t even bring WH to see the Ye Ole Smokehouse.
Went back to the cottage at about 6.30pm. Everyone bathed and waiting for dinner to be served. We had fishcake taufu, fried chicken, stewed chicken with mushroom, steamed fish, green vege and ommelette for dinner followed by fruits as dessert. Yum yum home cooked food from Mrs. Leong.
After dinner, dear hubby down with stomach ache again ( I think he’s got gastric) and called in a night early. FIL also slept early. Leaving the women behind. SILs and MIL played cards while I entertained the kids .Got the maid to massage me a little. Went to bed at about 10.30pm.
JS woke up at 1pm. Coughed and vomited (the weather too humid even I need my inhaler). So have to clean the mess before we really settled down for the day.
To be continued…
