Genting Strawberry Leisure Farms

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Genting Strawberry Leisure Farms

I have no idea there’s a strawberry farm in Genting Highlands until last week. Went there for a visit. Not big, not too small. Not only strawberry but flowers and vegetables. Cannot compare with Cameron Highlands of course.

The Genting Highlands Strawberry Leisure Farm is a popular tourist attraction in Gohtong Jaya, nestled directly at town opposite the Mawar and Bunga Raya Apartments. The farm can easily be reached by taking left from the roundabout past Hotel Seri Malaysia (if coming from Karak Highway), and following the road all the way to its end. Strawberries are not the only cultivations – mushrooms, herbs, flowers and hydroponic vegetables are also grown here commercialy in adjoining nurseries. Besides the farm’s marketplace, visitors can also purchase strawberries by plucking them directly and paying by weight from 100gm onwards – this is a very popular family activity.


Once we got in, we could smell strawberries!

In fact, my first time seeing strawberry plant, I’ve never been to one in OZ last time 😛 Wanted to go but ended up didn’t find the place.

Address: No. 1, Lot 3707, Jalan Jati 2, Bandar Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands, 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia

Bought a box of strawberry there for RM15, I heard Cameron’s is cheaper and tastes better. The one we bought at the farm was tasteless…

Tried the strawberry milkshake (RM11.55), I like! Very refreshing.


Walked further in, we found Lavender farm.


Previously in Adelaide, I didn’t get to visit Lavender farm because that time was summer and that area was closed due to fire hazard. Never thought that I would visit one. Well… Cannot compare of course but at least this is my first time come so close to so many lavenders. During the previous Perth trip, I only went to the shop selling lavender products, only a few lavender plants there.





Aside from strawberry and lavender, other flowers were there too such as rose, morning glory and those that I have no idea of the names. There’s also shops selling souvenirs and tid bits along the way before heading out.


Not to forget the mushroom farm.

Oh! Entrance is RM8 per adult.

That’s all for now. Hope the haze will go away soon! It’s making people sick…

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on 3rd International Orchid Show 2015


Yesterday, got the opportunity to visit the 3rd International Orchid Show 2015 at Orchid Garden, Jalan Astana, near the DUN building. A four-day event, 10th-13th September.


Despite the haze and extremely hot weather, we still went. It’s such an eye opener. So many types of orchids!


There were International Orchid Landscape Exhibition by 13 participating countries, International Orchid Landscape Competition, International Orchid Landscape Competition, Individual Orchid Competition, Floral Arrangement Competition, and Orchid Bazaar.


I’ll just let the rest of the photos do the talking.


Too many, didn’t take them one by one.


Enjoy all the orchids.


So many that I’ve not seen before. WOW!


Very colourful.


Would enjoy it more if there’s no haze and it’s not that hot.


First time taking so many photos of orchid of different types.


Okie dokie… Continue with the photos hehehe…





You can see few more in my Instagram.
Hope you enjoy the photos.

Double Three

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Double Three

Yesterday was my birthday. Took a day off, need a break from work. I was being fed, well-fed LOL! Burp… Too much sugar too, too sweet. Double three… At this age (in fact starting mid twenties), questions you will automatically get…

Where’s your boyfriend? Don’t have…
When to get one? I don’t know…
Why you so picky? Not really…
Then, why don’t have? I don’t know…
Better be fast, you’re not young anymore. *POOF* off I go, not entertaining anymore questions.

When are you getting married? Don’t even have a man, how to marry?
Don’t you want to have children? Don’t even have a man, how to make?
Why you so picky? Not really…
Then, why don’t have? I don’t know…
Better be fast, you’re not young anymore. *POOF* off I go, not entertaining anymore questions.

This is what you get when you start asking me such questions. I don’t know… I have no answers to it, it’s been the same answers for so many years, don’t you feel tired kept asking me the same questions? If it’s here, it’s here; if it’s not, be it. Life isn’t all about this. Of course I wish I have one, of course I do want to have my own family, I know I’m not getting any younger but if it’s not meant to be, then it’s not meant to be. Forcing it won’t do any good.

Anyway, another year again… Things are pretty much still the same as last year. All I know is that I need a break… Another break… Perhaps away… Far far away… Fly away, fly away… Hmm… Whatever it is, I’m just thankful for what I have now and may my dreams come true.

Me, myself and I

Benefit High Beam Face Highlighter

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Benefit High Beam Face Highlighter

It’s 31st August… How time flies! We are heading into September tomorrow! Today is Malaysia’s Independence Day. Enjoy the public holiday everyone! I’m not going to talk anything of this nature in this post. Just going to review this wonderful product I got, Benefit High Beam Face Highlighter.

I’m not sure how much it costs in Malaysia. My sister got this from UK, it’s priced at £19.50. Expensive! Fear not! This small bottle lasts forever as long that you tighten the cap after every use. You only need very little to achieve that glowing skin effect.

high beam creates that natural radiant glow you’ve always desired. It’s a a satiny pink highlighter that creates a young, radiant, fresh complexion on all skin tones. No self respecting make-up artist would be seen without it.


At first, I was quite hesitate to use it because was worry that the glow and the glitter might not be appropriate for normal daily use. After trying it out for the first time, I love the effect I saw in the mirror! WOW! Ever since then, it’s my must-have in my everyday makeup routine.

Normally I’ll just end my makeup with blusher. Now, before going for the blusher, I’ll dot and blend on my cheek bone, brow bone, and nose bridge. So lightweight and easy to blend. Great for any skin tone. Gave a very nice healthy and natural glow, love it when the light hits the areas. Amazing effect too can be seen from the photos. The face no longer looked so flat. Managed to cover up the pigmentation on my cheeks because of the glow.

Sometimes, if I’m going “natural”, no blusher, I’ll just apply this alone. Instant glow! You can also apply this after applying blusher if you want stronger effect. I prefer using it under so that will look more natural.

One application can last me one whole day. Doesn’t fade.


Left: With Benefit High Beam, very little makeup, no blusher. See the cheek bone and the nose bridge? The glow, not flat. Even my colleague was surprised with the glow I have, she thought my skin condition improved not knowing that it’s the effect of the product hehehe… *shhhh*

Right: Without Benefit High Beam, with makeup I normally wear to work taken before I was given with this product.

Great product! I highly recommended it. Price is a bit high but you are getting a great product that can last a very long time, only a little needed. 3 small dots on one side of the cheek bone only. Wonder how long will it take for me to finish the bottle.

Girl Stuffs, Review It!

MK Classico Caffe

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on MK Classico Caffe

If you notice, I seldom post about food outlets in this blog recently. Well… Most didn’t meet my expectations, so quite lazy to share here but will be featured in my Instagram and Facebook with short comments. Those deserve it will get another sharing in my blog. That’s how it is now…


MK Classico Caffe (Jalan Tabuan, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak) started operation this year. Saw many people tried the place out came back with good feedback. Been wanting to go since months ago but never get the chance. It’s not easy to park and it opens at 6pm. Finally, managed to pay a visit to the place last night.


The address provided seems to be unclear, it’s not hard to locate. Find Ting & Ting Supermarket, then Borneo Hotel, you’ll locate it.


They have two floors. The ground floor with all the seating configuration for big group. We wanted to go up but when I saw the staircase, I surrendered. I was wearing skirt! Cannot go up! So we ended up sitting at the corner. Just nice for two of us with the amount of food we ordered.


Cafes nowadays like to use this type of interior design, looks like it’s the in-thing now. Brick wall without covering of paint, rugged, and filled with antiques.

Even though we ordered only 2 dishes, they were huge! A bit too much for two of us, 3 would be just nice. Total bill was RM49. Very reasonable.

Left: MK Triple Chips (RM12), so filling! With three types of chips: nachos, sweet potato, and fries. Just order this to share with your friends (2 or 3 of you) if you want to have a catch up, it’s good enough. Split the cost, each only pay RM4! Portion reasonable with the price. Not oily too. Fries and sweet potato sticks were deep fried just right.

Right: Great striploin steak with very affordable price, RM25. I’ve not eaten any steak in Kuching for years because I’ve been disappointed by all of them, paying double or triple of this price, yet getting lousy steak. When I saw this on the menu with the pricing, I was thinking, what the heck, craving for some beef steak… It’s so cheap, even if it turned out bad, still not feeling so bad. What to expect with such price right?

When it came, too much sauce, I scrapped it to the side, however ended clearing up the sauce from the plate because I love the black pepper sauce, so different from the typical ones you get in Kuching. Instead of eating the sauce with the steak, I drizzled it on the mashed potato. Oh yummy!

The steak was so tender and not thin, it’s about one inch thick and bigger than my hand, almost melt in the mouth. Heavenly!

RM25 ONLY! Hello!?!? I was expecting something pathetically thin, dry, and hard yet it came out totally opposite. I requested medium. Worth every single penny. If I’m paying RM40-60 for this quality I don’t mind at all but sadly many places charging this price served bad steak. Kudos to MK Classico Caffe. Hopefully the quality will maintain.

I do recommend this place, will definitely go back to try other food next time.
