Fraser's Hill as the other highlands alternative

The weather must have been pretty hot to cause a forest fire along the new Simpang Pulai-Cameron Highlands road. It was quickly dealt with by the firefighters. It took them about 2 hours to douse it. No harm done.

Usually during the February month of Chinese New Year it was when the climate around Malaysia gets the hottest. Right, this would be a good time to go to some highlands to get oneself cooled down and escape from the heat of the tropics.

Fortunately this year the heat was somewhat tamed down with frequent rain.

This time around, my family decided to go to the other highland, the Fraser's Hill for a change. It is smaller than Cameron Highlands, but no less the interesting. One still could find some interesting activities, like jungle trekking, archery, golf, visiting the Jeriau Waterfalls or go boating at Allan's Waters. Or one could bring along your own games and activities like what my family members did by bringing their own Mahjong set and VCD/DVD together with the portable player.

And me? Well, I'm not about sitting around the Silverpark Apartments gauging myself with Chinese New Year tidbits and watching videos. So I went around exploring Fraser's Hills on my own.

I hope to put up some write up about other highlands in Malaysia, and hopefully the information would be helpful to others who might want to try an alternative to Camerons.

Ok. Enough of blogging and time to gauge myself with leftover CNY tidbits. That's the problem with buying CNY stuffs for visiting guests but in the end have to finish it all off later before it expires!
