Bukit Tinggi, Pahang

I learned about Bukit Tinggi when I read Emmy’s entry about her trip with her family to the said place. If not because of that entry, I wouldn’t know about the  existence of such beautiful place at all! Talk about being ignorant of my own country.

I have been wanting to go ever since then, but I was always caught up into something whenever an opportunity comes by. The boyfriend went with his friends when I was out with my family during their visit to KL for CNY hols. The sister went with her friends when I was busy with something else. (What was it again?)

And finally, after having to sulk in envy looking at their photos, I have stepped on Bukit Tinggi! *dance with joy*

..because I like this picture.

In case you don’t know about this place, check out the info here.

We first went to Colmar Tropicale, a unique French-themed resort at the Berjaya Hills. It is modelled after the 16th Century Colmar Village in Alsace, France and has retained the authenticity and European feel of its counterpart.

Water fountain at the main entrance.

Beautiful flowers. My mom would be proud of me if she sees this picture. Finally her daughter knows how to appreciate the beauty of flowers. wtf.

The bridge at the entrance of the castle-like resort.

It gets me imagining a handsome prince on a horse, bursting through the castle gates to save a beautiful princess locked at the top of the tower.

Going inside..

There are cafes offering various types of food. And quite a number of souvenir shops.

Us, in front of a closed wine restaurant. It only opens at night. Look at the boy in white, cute right. I wonder what was he trying to pose as in this picture.

Red carriage with a sign that says, “Do not sit in the carriage”. And I almost went in and sit inside.

After Colmar Tropicale, we headed to the Japanese Garden which is only about 10 minutes from Colamar Tropicale using the bus shuttle provided.

At the souvenirs shop at the entrance.

I love this picture:

It looks like a painting kan?

Koi. There were lots of them.

Yours Truly in green kimono. Rented for RM 20.

What I love about the Japanese Garden is the scenery. It actually makes you feel like you really are in a Japanese village, just like the ones we usually see in Japanese movies.

There were too many people visiting the Japanese Garden that day, maybe it’s visit Bukit Tinggi day, I don’t know. It was hard to get a shot without having someone else’s butt/legs/head/hands in the background. Unless I photoshop them out. But then again, with me being me; malas.

Us.

Ok, when we were in Colmar Tropicale someone was busy taking pictures that he didn’t even realized that a naughty someone has spread a few petals of a purple flower on his head.

I asked him to pose with the camera and I took a shot of him. He thought it’s going to be a good picture, he even said “I’m going to put this as my Facebook profile picture” until he hit the ‘play’ button on my Ixus.

He said, “Sheeeettttt, who did that?” And that naughty someone laughed his ass off seeing him getting pissed over what had happened.

Then the photoshop princess came into rescue *ahem ahem!* and said, “Hey don’t worry lah, I’ll photoshop this for you.“

He said, “Can kah?“

Of course can! How dare he doubted the photoshop princess riiggghhhtttt~

Left: Before photoshop. Right: After photoshop.

See, purple flowers no more! Now pay me a lunch for this.
