<p>I took a short 2D1N trip to Cameron Highland with family last weekend.  As titled, I had a ‘bowlful’ of strawberries there!   Sadly though it was raining cats &amp; dogs over there, so I din’t get the chance to go capture some regular tea-farm scenic; instead, I visited a few indoor farms and had fun shooting/eating/hanging there!</p>
<p><a href="http://albertyap.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/YBT_8138.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="Titiwangsa Hotel" src="http://albertyap.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/YBT_8138_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Titiwangsa Hotel" width="600" height="600" /></a><br />
We stayed at <a href="http://www.cameronhighlands.com/titiwangsa/" target="_blank">Titiwangsa Hotel</a>,  a twin king-sized bed at a super duper low price of RM 218 a night!  And best of all, the price includes a buffet breakfast &amp; a steamboat dinner for everyone!  A step into the room, we were amazed by how spacious it is for such a good deal!  Will I be visiting the same hotel again?  Definitely yes!</p>
<p><a href="http://albertyap.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/YBT_8132.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="Steamboat dinner" src="http://albertyap.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/YBT_8132_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Steamboat dinner" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>A look of the delicious steamboat!  A treat for the freezing night!  After the great meal, we went for a traditional body massage right at the main entrance of the hotel for a cost of RM 60 an hour.  The massage was so-so and you can forget about it if you wish.</p>

<p>I’ve selected 80photos to share with you, for your convenience, the exposure info is included this round so that you have a rough idea on how I captured those.<br />
Please feel free to comments and ask if you need further details!</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">For your info, the photos were captured with a Nikon D700, I swap between a 18-35 ultra wide angle, a 50mm, and a 135mm short tele lens.  The photos were then edited with Adobe Lightroom 3 Beta.</span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me kick start this blog with my 2009&#8242;s trip, It has been a long while since I last went for a break until last week on 6th Oct 2009,  I took Air Asia and flew to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah!</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img title="Kota Kinabalu Air Port New Terminal" src="http://thecamostudio.com/blogs/wp-content/FlashPhoto/091014-SabahKK/images/KK-100.jpg" alt="Kota Kinabalu Air Port New Terminal" width="600" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Kota Kinabalu Air Port New Terminal</p></div>
<p>Thanks to Aunt Teoh, I was allowed to stayed at one of the staff&#8217;s apartment of her company.  it was located at Beverly Hills, the Sabah&#8217;s version.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img title="Beverly Hills Apartment" src="http://thecamostudio.com/blogs/wp-content/FlashPhoto/091014-SabahKK/images/KK-102.jpg" alt="Beverly Hills Apartment" width="600" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Beverly Hills Apartment</p></div>
<p>Along the trip, I&#8217;ve visited quite a number of places including KK&#8217;s town, Tip of Borneo &#8211; Kudat, Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, UMS&#8217;s Aquarium and many more.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img title="Warisan Square, KK Town" src="http://thecamostudio.com/blogs/wp-content/FlashPhoto/091014-SabahKK/images/KK-107.jpg" alt="Warisan Square, KK Town" width="600" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Warisan Square, KK Town</p></div>
<p>Not to mention the foods I had here, most of them are awesome except the 1st night&#8217;s Bak Kut Teh at Beverly Hills</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img title="Su Tong Poh Pork Leg" src="http://thecamostudio.com/blogs/wp-content/FlashPhoto/091014-SabahKK/images/KK-131.jpg" alt="Su Tong Poh Pork Leg" width="600" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Su Tong Poh Pork Leg</p></div>
