West Malaysia 2024 — Cameron Valley Tea Plantation
Furry Friends & Feathered Surprises!
Fluffy alpacas, little birds so bright,
Rainbow Garden was a cheerful sight.
Aunty came to feed them, just for fun,
But who was more excited? Everyone!
A Little Animal Detour Before Lunch
After all that up and down, left and right on the Cameron Highlands roads, our stomachs had already been on quite an adventure!
Son: “Before lunch, why don't we go to the animal farm first?”
Me: “Good idea! Walk around a bit first. Heavy lunch now is a no-no.”
Hubby: “Can lah, go and see animals.”
Mama: “Animal farm ah?”
So off we went to the Animal Feeding Rainbow Garden for some furry and feathered fun!
Alpacas, peacocks, birds and hamsters sounded like a lovely change from those winding mountain roads.
But there was just one tiny problem...
We had brought Mama along!
And everybody knew Mama's internal lunch alarm didn't care about alpacas, peacocks or hamsters.
Tick… tick… tick…
The animals could wait. But could Mama's lunch?
Who's More Excited — Me or the Animals?
The moment I saw the animals, somebody forgot how to walk properly.
Me, of course!
Me: “HELLOOOO! So cute!”
Son: “Ma, where you going?”
Me: “THERE GOT MORE!”
Off I went, from alpacas to sheep, peacocks, birds and little furry creatures. Like a child let loose in a playground!
Hubby: “You slow down lah. The animals not running away.”
Me: “I know! But I think they like me leh.”
Son: “Ma… I think they like the food you're carrying.”
Me: “Same thing lah. Love comes in many forms!”
I remain convinced the animals were genuinely delighted to see me.
The food in my hand was purely coincidental!
Meanwhile, Mama had just one question.
Mama: “Play enough already or not? Later makan, okay?”

🦚: “Okay lah, pretty little you. Happy now?” Pretty Please, Mr Peacock!Then came one of my favourite moments — the peacock! There he was, looking handsome, but keeping those beautiful feathers firmly closed. Of course, I couldn't just leave him alone! Me: “Hellooo, Mr Peacock! Please lah… open up for pretty little me!” Son: “Ma, you think he understands you ah?” Me: “Why cannot? Maybe he likes pretty girls!” Hubby was already laughing. I continued sweet-talking Mr Peacock. Me: “Come on lah… just once. Show me your beautiful feathers!” And suddenly... WHOOOOSH! VOILÀ! His magnificent feathers spread out right in front of me! Me: “WAH! He really opened!” Then a worrying thought crossed my mind. Me: “Eh… wait. He doesn't want to attack me, right?” Everybody burst out laughing! Once I realised Mr Peacock wasn't charging at me, my confidence returned immediately. Me: “SEE! SEE! I TOLD YOU! HE LIKES ME!” Son: “Or maybe he just wanted you to stop talking.” Me: “Jealous, say jealous lah!” Whatever the reason, I'm sticking to my version. I asked. He delivered. End of story!
When Mama's Stomach Says, “Enough Animals!”I was still happily wandering around, wondering which furry friend to visit next, when suddenly the most powerful alarm in our family went off! Mama: “Makan makan… hungry already!” Me: “Huh? So fast? I haven't finished playing leh!” Son: “Ma, once Ah Ma says hungry, game over already!” Me: “But I haven't said goodbye to all my friends!” Hubby: “Your friends won't run away lah. Go makan first.” Mama: “Yes lah, makan more important!” And just like that, our Animal Feeding Rainbow Garden adventure came to an end. No last round. No negotiation. No chance to appeal. MAMA'S STOMACH HAD SPOKEN! ANIMAL TOUR TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY! Wishing Our Furry & Feathered Friends WellThis little farm left me with some very sweet memories. I certainly enjoyed every moment spent with my furry and feathered friends. I sincerely hope the farm continues to do well, and that all its little residents remain happy, healthy and well cared for. And of course, I hope Mr Peacock has plenty more WHOOOOSH! performances waiting for future visitors! Till We Meet Again, Furry Friends! Continue to the Next Post →  |
