1st Lunch At Arundel, Fraser's Hill & Fences.

After a quick tour of the grounds of the bungalow and photo taking, we were informed at about 12.50 pm that lunch was being served. We hurried back, washed up and were seated at the table, ready to enjoy our first meal in the highland. The kitchen had prepared for us the following dishes.

Chicken curry with potatoes

Deep Fried Fish Fritters

Simple onion omelette.

Stir Fried Veggie With Garlic

Jelatah, a Malay salad dish. A combination of pineapple, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, etc. mixed with vinegar, salt & sugar.

For dessert we had Chilled Sago Pudding with palm sugar & coconut milk. A snapshot of what was left after the first round of serving.

Mesmerized By The Beautiful Flowers In Fraser's Hill.

After we have checked into Arundel bungalow and settled our luggage in our room, we couldn't wait to explore the compound. We noticed the beautiful blooms as we drove in through the opened gate. Of all the trips we have made to this place, this was the best, with the place full of beautiful flowers and plants. We went out armed with our cell phone cameras to capture the blooming beauties.

Hairy balls the size of a tennis ball. Also named Balloon plants, Swan plants or Gomphocarpus Physocarpus. This is our first time coming across these plants.

The plants can grow taller than 6 feet or more.

It has small white flowers.

Opened up one of the hairy balls to satisfy our curiosity.

I am not sure, but can these fiery red flowers be the Firespike flowers?

Yellowish brown Dahlia flowers.

Well, then, what shall I do? I will do both.

 I will pray in unknown tongues and also

in ordinary language that everyone understands.

I will sing in unknown tongues and also in ordinary language

so that I can understand the praise I am giving.

Arrival & Check In At The Arundel Bungalow, Fraser's Hill.

Thank God we had a smooth and safe journey all the way to Fraser's Hill. We reached at about 11.55 am. The weather was cool. 

An arch to welcome visitors to Fraser's Hill.

"Selamat Datang Ke Bukit Fraser"

 So many direction signs.

The orange sign says: "Fraser's Hill My Little England" 

 We can still remember the way to the bungalow after so many years. Some new structures along the way that were not there before.

 Some fallen trees did damage to the fencing.

 Expecting rain from the look of the cloud.

Arundel & Bunge are 2 English style bungalows privately owned by KL Kepong. Bunge is the bigger one (4 bedroom with attached bathroom). Arundel is the smaller one (4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom to 2 connecting bedrooms).

This is Arundel bungalow where we stayed. This door opens into the dinning hall. We used to stayed in Bunge but it was taken. Our first time staying in Arundel. 

The English style bungalows were recently renovated and fully fitted with modern bathrooms, toilets, etc.

Before the mountains were created, before the earth was formed,

you are God without beginning or end.

Colourful Dahlias, can be seen from our sitting room windows.

 We heard that this very old tree was once struck and damaged by lightning. It was repaired with cement and you can't tell the difference.

Very old trees.

This funny looking tree trunk is just outside Arundel bungalow.
