Hi there, so this is my first visit to Gohtong Jaya and Genting Highlands this year and it is really a breathtaking one. We went there via the Pekeliling bus. The station was typical. Typical in the sense that it felt like the Pudu Raya bus terminal once upon a time before the grand renovation. You can see the vendors shouting for passengers and the ambiance was just classic.
The Pekeliling bus departs every half an hour. There are strict seating rules on who's getting the window seat and the other having the aisle seat. There was one old lady that boarded the bus from a bus stop and obviously, she didn't have a ticket. Still, the driver let her on but she had to seat on the steps.
If you would notice, Genting attracts 3 groups of people. One for the thrill-seeking youngsters, the gambling adults (mostly senior citizens) and those with the intention to get away from the city's stuffiness.
We stopped by Gohtong Jaya. It was pretty quiet and not so cool. Literally cool. We had a simple meal there, no idea to consider it as breakfast or lunch. Fine, brunch then...

After that, we walked to the Strawberry Leisure Farm. And walked into the exit entrance. It is like a maze in the farm, once in you just have to complete the passage till the exit. No turning back. Ok, it doesn't sound that eerie after all. But good thing being trapped in there is that there are various sections to explore and plenty of activities to do. There are the strawberry farms (obviously) for you to pick the strawberries yourself, the lavender section (yes! Lavender!), the honey section where you could see a display of bee species and nests while buying their products without getting stung. Simply dive into myriad of greenery.

Oh yea... I once read a book that provides effective plantation, including greenhouse and watering system. Ya see, nowadays plantations don't use big sprinklers that is only able to cover a limited circumference. Instead, a small tube branches out from a main hose to water the plants directly.
Stickers for entrance.

Once we reached the peak of Genting Highlands, meaning Genting itself, we had a drink there. While dad decided to play his iPad, mum and I wondered around. here're some pictures taken along the way:

Also, we stopped by the Visitor's Galleria. To understand the struggle of a China man from mainland to Malaysia, the construction knowledge he possessed that initiated a dream that no one dared. Till the founding of Genting corp and several more branches in major tourists attractions, like New York and Philippines. You'll find everything here.

While browsing through the visitor's log,
I found it interesting that some people do not know how to spell "excellent" |

I guess that'll be it. This post is supposed to be posted last week, but I was too lazy and mum was too busy with the computer and dad keeps harassing me on the computer when I have the chance.
