I finally finished Breaking Dawn, the last book that’s part of the Twilight Saga authored by Stephenie Meyer. I can say it is a very disappointing epiphany.The climax of the story should have something of a fight, to prove that Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) was a queen. But they Stephenie left it out. No battles, no fights. All the preparations that were described previously was a waste.
I realized that only the Twilight has that chick flick… you know what I mean. But starting the second book, everything was just a normal Bella Swan story, right until the end. I am not satisfied with the way it ended.
I would be looking forward to seeing the New Moon movie regardless. I just wanna see how Robert Pattison project Edward Cullen. When I read the first book, I would imagine Edward in a different way. But the more I see him, the more I think he’s right for Edward Cullen.
But have I told you? We rarely go to the cinema to watch movies. So when the New Moon movie comes out in November, I would probably just watch it at the comfort of my living room, on TV, with one of those nice tv stands.

Ever since I came back from the Philippines, I haven’t gone back to my daily routine of going to the park to run or jog. We’ve been really busy these days. I only spent 5 days here and off we (husband and I) to Cambodia. After that, we had to prepare for our trip to Cameron Highlands for the Cross-Cultural Training School’s students’ retreat.
Travels mean one thing though. Food, food, and more food. One can’t just resist to taste the local’s delicacy. My husband is also complaining of gaining some more “bulge” in the middle area. Both of us do need weight loss supplement, indeed.

Tomorrow is a shopping day. We are running out of food supplies. It’s been awhile since we haven’t dorocery shopping. We have been so busy we barely have enough time to buy things. Anyways, here’s my grocery shopping list:
1. kitchen cleaning stuff
2. canned goods i.e. spaghetti sauce, sardines (my prinzy loves sardines), tuna, etc
3. pasta
4. meat (chicken, minced meat for spaghetti, beef cubes for beef stew)
5. sugar
6. if we have more time we can probably go hunt some sexy lingerie. how did this manage to come out in my grocery shopping list? LOL. it should be in my personal shopping list!
Anyways, we usually do our grocery shopping in Carrefour. It is just next to Subang Parade mall, just in case we decide to do a bit more shopping.

I know I am still in Camerons mode. What to do… the place was just awesome. It’s a perfect place to go for retreat, family fun, and just pure holiday. So what do I love about Camerons?

2. tea and scones in the middle of tea plantation
3. great view
4. beautiful people (must be the cool climate that makes them beautiful. LOL.)
5. water falls
6. historic hotels
7. steam boat
8. indian food at Kumar’s, especially the banana leaf food. super delicious!
I don’t mind going back there over and over again.

One thing I love about going for a holiday in Malaysia or near my town is that we could just drive to get to it. There are just so many places to visit around the area that we need not have to fly. It’s so convenient for us as a family to drive to where we’re going because we could take as many things as we could, for our convenience.
The last time we drove to our holiday destination was in Cameron Highlands. It sure was great having packed more than enough things. It’s always better to have more than having not enough, right? It would have nicer though if we drove our Volvo so we could go to the Boh Tea plantation to have tea and scones there again. But we traveled in a group so we had to borrow a van.
Talking about travels and cars remind of finding out more about NC car insurance. Hmmm…

We booked a one night stay at Cameronian Inn at Cameron Highlands. It was a budget hotel, perfect for budget traveler (goes without saying). When we looked it up the internet, the rate was 150RM per night. But when hubby called for reservations, thsy said they could give it for 120RM. We were happy.
But we reached the place late… so they have given up the reservation and gave it to somebody else. But they ushered us to a different room, a really budget one, with bathroom being shared with others. But of course, we didn’t mind coz who would wanna linger in a bathroom in a very cool place? And we only paid 60RM!
We enjoyed our stay in Camerons. The houses are beautiful, especially the transient ones. I wonder if the houses in Wilmington NC real estate would be beautiful too? Let’s find out.

The kids are on school break for one week. Husband’s training school’s last week this week. So they planned to wrap everything up in Cameron Highlands. We tagged along! It’s fun to be holidaying. I love Cameron Highlands. The temperature is cool… like 10 degrees Celcius. I know it’s not that cold compared to snow places. But I really really love it. Schenker is loving the weather as well. Samantha is loving the goings around.
We are taking th church van with us. Everytime we go places with a group of people, we borrow van from the church. It’s quite a great ride, having people with us. I love the way to Camerons. The view is just awesome. Glad we didn’t see any accidents while on the road. I would be fearful again. I know there are motorcycle accident attorneys available if there’s an accident. Somehow, it does help when you know where to get one, doesn’t it?
Anyways… would post photos once I get back home. There are just so many nice things to show. I didn’t bring my card reader again. What is it with me? Everytime I travel, I keep forgetting on taking it with me. I should keep a list of things to bring next time. Promise.

I just finished cleaning up my spam comment. 500+ spam comments to delete is no joke! My eyes are getting dizzy and I feel so drowsy. But I am glad to be able to clean up my blog now.
My friend Ruby just gave me a plugin to ban IP’s. It’s called WP-Ban plugin. So I hope to minimize, if not exterminate altogether the spam that keeps coming in my blog comment… (keeping my fingers crossed).

You are a shy, quiet person. Underneath your shell, you are compassionate and giving.
People find you to be friendly and welcoming. Your home is a place of comfort to them.
When You Are in a Social Setting:
You are enthusiastic and flexible. You are open-minded. You prefer to learn from others… not judge them.

We are on our way to Central Market now. When we asked the hotel receptionist of which nice places to visit in Phnom Penh, she gave us all the market places. LOL. She was probably thinking we will do a bit of shopping. But we decided to just see these places to see what they offer. They probably have this Vacheron watch I saw in the internet today. I would love to show photos… but couldn’t as of now. Maybe will upload it once I get home. The computer I am using is all Korean. And I am just keying in some keys out of my great memory. Hehehe.
As I’ve said, we’re off to the Central Market. I would love to see some Cambodian products. (Note the word see: not buy.) Weehee!
