One of the things about Peninsular Malaysia that I totally dig is the fact that there are highland roads. These roads cut through the Titiwangsa Mountain Range which sits right in the middle of the peninsular. This mountain range allows for roads that cut and carve through the hills, mountains and valleys and on these roads is where motoring enthusiasts from all around the peninsular flock to. A drive up Cameron Highlands, Fraser's Hill or even up to Genting Highlands is usually a memorable one and for me, it is home. One to these destinations is someplace which I would love to retire to someday

Hi Hi,

 

I was curious if you have the GPS co-ordinates to the placE? I am kind of keen to try out the road... :)

Hi Xeonic, Sorry I do not have actual GPS co-ods. The thing about this area is that nearly ALL the roads are good to drive up to. You can start from the Middle Ring Road II down in KL and the take the old road up to genting sempah onwards to bentong. From there you can either go down to bukit tinggi town (left) or right, up towards janda baik. straight gets you to bentong (which is also good). as for ulu-yam - goh tong jaya stretch, do a search as lots of local enthusiasts use that way for a weekend drive up to genting highlands. The road up to the bukit tinggi colmar tropicale resort slightly further down is also a splendid drive. but some of these roads are good on weekdays as weekend mornings and afternoons are filled with tourists and enthusiasts.

 

regards

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
