Be going off to Cameron on Tuesday night, but between now and then we be busy bees. Agnes has her piano exam on Monday. so between then and now it is lotsa practise at home at at the studio. Do not think we will have any time for going out or even staying at home, if that makes any sense.

A colleague of mine is giving us a fish. He says it is a Vieja argentea. looks kinda like a luohan in the pictures I searched online. Mum been telling me she and dad have been preparing the tank for the fish over the last few days. hopefully it will all be ready before we head off to Cameron, and we can put it in.

been checking out the weather in Cameron Highlands. The forecast seems to indicate that we should expect showers and storms over the few days we are there. we will try to squeeze in as much activities as we can, whilst keeping in mind the reason that we are there is to 'relax'.

one of the activities we are planning is to shop. Agnes's favourite activity of the whole holiday I am sure. Cameron is also reknown for its trekking. There are some waterfalls and such we could explore if time and weather permits. Then there are the various farms and tea plantations. we could probably sign up for the various tours offered.

here are some of the tours:
