Cameron Highlands - Agape Youth Camp

Agape Youth Camp (AYC) was organized by the Seventh-Day Adventists from Malaysia. They've been organizing AYCs for the past few years but this is my first time going to one.

Will just say what I can remember. About 40+ of us Singaporeans booked 2 buses up to Cameron Highlands. 1 was for the adults and the other for us youths. About $100 each.

Sri Maju.

The scenery while going up Cameron.

To cut the 8 to 9-hour journey short, we finally reached our hotel! Star Regency Hotel. I'll rate it 3 stars.

We booked into our apartment.

Later everyone met at the main hall. In short, this Agape Youth Camp consists mainly of talks (seminars) by 2 speakers. One is Dr Tim and the other is Dr Pipim. Throughout the camp they gave very interesting talks. The response for the camp this time was very good. Over 300+ people. There were about 40+ Singaporeans and the rest were mainly Malaysians, and a few from China and other countries.

At night we went to visit the nearby pasar malam. Bought some char kway tiao. It was good! The char kway tiao uncle...

In the middle of Brinchang, Cameron Highlands, there's this very small fire station.

We had steamboat at the hotel. Our meals were all vegetarian hehe. I'm a fishatarian though.

This insect flew into our apartment. Karyne caught it.

I was telling my friends that if I were the mayor of Cameron Highlands, I'd built...
1. an ERP gantry
2. proper pavements at the side for walking
3. an overhead bridge!

You will understand why from the photo below.

On Friday we went for a durian feast! All the Singaporeans.

Enjoying some durian with the girls...

Sister and me.

An auntie showed us a new way of washing our hands after eating durians. Pour water into the durian skin and wash your hands under it! You gotta try it to believe it! It actually takes most of the durian smell away from your fingers.

Nice paint job...

Later we went for a small rambutan feast. One of my rambutans splurted out some gooeeey stuff. Wow looks like coconut juice. =P

Misty surroundings in the evening.

The Singapore group took some photos with the 2 speakers. Dr Pipim is the only black guy, he's from Africa. Dr Tim is the 3rd guy from the top, blue shirt, with centre-parting hair.

The camp ended on Sunday. But our Singaporean group decided to stay 1 more day. We moved into a new apartment in the same hotel. Its a penthouse which is at the 11st storey and it consists of 3 stories. Haha.

The guys room.

Top floor consists of 1 room.

We went to the nearby pasa malam again to have some dessert.

The carrot cake smelled delicious man!

Rolled up my sleeves to tan my arms.

We all bought strawberry icecreams. The store owner is 4th guy from right, holding the sign.

Later in the day, we went to visit one of the strawberry farms.

I just love this photo!

Us getting back some of our childhood days.

They grow other plants too.

Had some strawberry dishes.

The flies there are bothersome and daring.

Errr.......

At night we had steamboat, which Cameron is famous for. The tall chimney is actually for the smoke from the charcoal below to escape high above where the food is. Hehe. Never seen anything like that before.

After the steamboat we went to the pasa malam again to get more food! Ramly burgers!

The next day, we left Cameron around 9am and reached back Singaopre around 7pm =)

There is actually a lot more to talk about this camp. But I might take forever haha. So yeah I'll just stop here.

Buffet lunch

On a beautiful sunny sunday, the youth decided to meet up for a splendid lunch which was a sushi buffet at Suki sushi. We met at the Somerset MRT at 12.00pm and then headed to the restaurant to satisfy our stomachs.Looking at this sushi, does it make your mouth waters?

This is hydon who is eating the fabulous cold noodle.

Looking at this satisfying smile, it just proves that it is "yummy!"

smiles :]

Group photo at the wall of Art "say cheese!"

Look at the first picture of the DANCE!

After that, we were so full and we went home after a hearty meal!

Shall we go again? :]

Southern Ridges walk

On one Saturday together with my church we went to Southern Ridges for a walk in the afternoon. Thank God the weather was perfect. Not everyone could fit inside all the cars. There were 4 of us left. Just nice. So we took a taxi there.

There were a total of 32 of us.

Shi Rong regained back some of his childhood.

A few of us starting jumping. Then more and more people joined in.

Thats Shawn upside down.

The metal board walk.

This is the steepest part of the walk. About 5 to 6 flights of stairs up a hill.

It was quite a distance to the Henderson Waves. But all 31 of us manage to reach it within a short time. And again, we started jumping off the wooden walls.

I look like I'm almost gonna fly here!

Strangers behind me all watching =x

Omg mouth open so big. I think I really thought I was a plane at that moment. (mouth acting as an air-intake)

Monkehs grooming each other.

Fierce!

Smart monkey. Knows how to use a towel and check out a bottle. Probably finding some water to bathe itself.

The monkey must be thinking "Wow what a delicious & colourful buffet!"

Hydon's turn to jump.

Shawn testing his latest levitation shoes.

Uncle Oliver looks as if he's playing an invisible gu zheng.

Terrence surfing the waves.

Shawn testing out more of his levitation shoes.

The splendid view from Mount Faber.

The Hydon Box.

2 love birds.

Group photo-taking time!

All-guy photo.

The age of Flintstones is back.

I seriously don't know what Shi Rong is trying to do...

... but I think its super cute. HAHA

Our estimated 4.5km walk ended at Vivo City. Most of us went to have dinner at Kopitiam.

John and Joseph.

Since when did superman start eating western food?

The walk was great. Everyone had a good time. Good and sunny weather was all around us. May we have another good and healthy walk again!
