Fraser Hill

Before continuing to my Scotland trip pics, lets explore some places in Malaysia. :) 

It was a very special weekend and I decided to go up to Fraser Hill for a break. I have been hearing a lot about Fraser Hill but haven't had the chance to go yet. So this time around, finally I was up there! :D

The journey up was very tiring and nauseating because of the windy road. But after reaching up there I think it was worth it! :D It was a very peaceful and green place to be. Great place to relax and chill. 

on the way to the waterfall. 

Before the waterfall....

Waterfall from above

After the waterfall is another small man made waterfall...to control the water level i guess?

The natural waterfall..

some random pic...haha

view from the room

some scenery from the resort that we stayed in, Fraser's Silverpark Resort, quite a good place. 

I like this one. :D

Allan's water...one of the attractions there..

That's me...after growing bigger size. LOL.

More pics of the recreational park...quite serene. :)

That's all from the trip. We stayed in the Silverpark Resort for RM184 per night for a Studio Room, i think good for 4 people. The room came with 2 pax of breakfast, which i think is a good deal. :)

The Galleria

The place we stayed in Houston is called the Post Oak Boulevard West Loop area, so it was very near to the famous shopping area, the Galleria. And that has become our favourite spot for meals as they serve affordable and huge portion meals. LOL....

The Galleria

cool...i don't think i can go up there, the thing will surely break.

Not very huge though, but I like the roof design. :)

Things there are quite expensive if we convert, but if we don't convert, i think it is the same as the living cost in KL.

Houston Downtown (Night time)

After sharing with one of my asian colleagues that I took the bus to Downtown, he asked if we could do it again before we left the city. So here i went, another bus trip down the city centre. :) But this time we stayed until quite late and these were some of the pics taken. 

Night view of the city. Quite nice...

That's me before I grew bigger horizontally. LOL.

The convention centre. Look like a factory to me? 

Some interesting statue in front of the centre. 

The Minute Maid Park night view. There was a baseball game going on when we were there, but didn't go in in the end because we didn't know which team to support. hehe...

Another view of the stadium..

Ah, we don't see this in Malaysia i suppose? 

A pic with the Old Market Square Monument.

Being very "sakai", i took this pic, the newspaper vending machine. haha...we don't have it here in Malaysia though...

some city night views.

Ah! Hard Rock cafe! one of the must go place! hahaha...

Glass Pyramid? Are we in Paris? LOL...

Don't worry, we arrived back in the hotel safely even though it was a bit late. hehe...

Houston Downtown

I know this is a very very late and procrastinated post, but I think it is a good step to keep my promises in posting up the pictures. hehe....

These were taken during my last trip to Houston, Texas early this year. 

upon arriving Houston, big city eh?

one of the shops. Taken from a bus to Downtown.

a house, next to the main road!

A baseball stadium, called the Minute Maid Park. 

city centre. >.<

Pavilion

Yeap, train in the city centre. You can use the train to go to any part of the city centre instead of bus/cab/car.

One of the train stations.

the railway...just in the middle of the city. haha...

the ticketing machine, kinda simple eh? but not many people are using though...

Houston Pavilion. Smaller compared to KL? :D

Finally caught the train. Notice the guy sitting on the bench, it's that near to the pedestrian walkway. haha...

Owh, a church next to the railway in the middle of the city. I wonder how the cars drive inside?

Yeap, a cross junction for the train and the cars. haha...we don't find that in Malaysia eh?

the concrete jungle. 

Took this pic when I was lost in the city trying to find the bus back to my hotel. hahaa...

The small cathedral...

One thing very interesting though, when I told my colleagues in Houston that I took a bus down to Downtown the other day, they were shocked that I did that. One of them even expressed that he would drive me around rather than having me taking the bus in the city. I guess people don't take bus that often there? 

Nevertheless, it was a great adventure taking a bus alone to the city in a new city. hehe...
