Wedding Photo Shoot in Cameron Highlands

That night itself they had their photoshoot in the rustic looking farmer's kitchen.



In her casual denim-clad look
It was quite a unique setting but we were barred from taking photos with the DSLR!
We were also not able to follow them for their forest and plantation wedding gown shoots..such a pity!!
They went out early to catch the sunrise, and came back to change into her red gown below.
This time we followed them everywhere as we had already checked out of the airbnb.

Shooting in the Time tunnel.
Final shot was at the Convent Primary School up the hill to get a church-like backdrop, much to the amusement of the sutdents walking past!!

Farmer's Hut Retreat

Our accomodation was an airbnb discovery: Farmer Hut (actual name) without apostrophe 's'. 


The way up was winding, inconspicuous and you can miss it if you do not waze. 
It was also not landscaped and was like an original farmer's path.
It was next to the farmer's actual quarters (typical chinese stone house) and this was the partition. 
 Inside you can see the movie room with a white screen like in schools or conference room, with a selection of CDS. It was also a bedroom with three beds of different heights, on pieces of pinewood.


 This is the activity room, and the make up girl used this table for doing up Angie's face and hair.

 The downstairs bed which the two photoshoot girls took.
 This is the kitchen.
 Fashioned after what must be a farmer's kitchen

Mirror cum water bottle stand, with hair dryer against corrugated zinc sheet wall.
 Now we go check out the upstairs rooms.
 It is like a loft, with suspended thick ropes as walls and dividers.
 The sitting room which everybody likes to pose and post on instagram.
 Me, papa and Jenn took this side of the room.
 Ken and Angie took this side.

 Cutely and simply decorated.
 Ikea comforters and sheets and bed frames.


You wake up to crisp fresh  morning air.
 Err,,, there are no changing rooms, no mirrors and no walls for privacy hahaha!!! yes and no  upstairs toilet.  You have to climb down the stairs and walk past the two sleeping camera women to get to the bathroom.
 Angie with her fresh before makeup and hairdo look.
 K is exhausted and flopped on the upper bunk
 While Dad went out to take a photo of us in the sitting room which juts out from the zinc roofs.
 Many people take photo of this too, some even perch and sit on the edge of the window, of course Dad did not allow us to do that!


 He is outside among the vegetable beds.
He is actually quite far away as this small pic or rather small 'us':  will show you 
 The most photographed spot!!
 Antiquated farming tools, I swear Kong Kong has some of these too.
Sweeping vista of the farm, tea plantation, strawberry fields and vast expanse of sky and did I say cold air, yes, nippy cold air, after all this is Cameron Highlands.

 Going down I saw this multipurpose shelf near the doorway, for shoes, mosquito coils , vape mat, ash trays, candles for black out nights, and what have you.
 These owls are from Daiso!!! hahaha, 
So I leave you with these wise old owls,
 the more I see, 
the wiser I get, 
the less I speak,
 the better I write....
the more I know
the more I don't show..
Do you understand? (I myself don't......)

Driving to Cameron Highlands for wedding photoshoot

Last weekend, we drove to Cameron Highlands for wedding photoshoot, 
enroute we stopped at SPK Sunway to pick up Angie

 2 and a half storey ultra modern house
 in a very neat and nice neighbourhood

 it was the day after Raya, and the opposite way heading back to KL city
  was jammed up!
Around noon the familiar limestone outcrops greeted us and we felt it was time to stop for lunch in Ipoh.  After all, Ipoh has just made it into the Lonely Planet list as No 6 city to visit after Nagoya.(no 1)
Many shops were sold out so we ended up in Sun Seng Fatt
 the interior of the shop had a good mix of clients and we settled for a quick meal
 Errr.....art of conversation is waning....
 On the wall are the 4 and only 4 choices of noodles: prawn mee, lam mee, shredded chicken hor fan and curry mee.
And all the noodles cost RM6.90 each

 kai see hor fan
lam mee

prawn mee
 curry mee
 she liked her lam mee
 son was satisfied with his hay mee
I liked the mint leaves, but was disappointed there were no cockles in my curry mee
and all the liew for the four types of mee was the same: prawns, and char siew
drinks, but I did not like my "teh tak kacau" because the condensed milk was stirred into my tea.
