Cameron Highland - GPS - Trip profiles
So, as you can see from the screen captured of the Track Properties below, my tracks start at 7:10am on 17/12/06 (sunday). My home altitude is at 142 meters above sea level.
I choose the shortest route, ie via Frazer Hill Gap - Kuala Kubu Baru - Kerling - Kalumpang and enter the North-South High Way at Tanjung Malim.
"Jalan ular kena palu": - by taking this route, we have to negotiate numerous sharp bends. Before long my daughter and sons taking turn asking me to stop - to vomit. My other half grumbling - "ngapa tak bawa ubat muntah?". I forget to bring tablet stemetil, anti emetic to stop motion sickness. What a poor forgetful doc!. The road become straight by the time we reach Kuala Kubu Baru. Screen captured below shows the place Sir Henry Gurney, British High Commissioner in Malaya, is assassinated on Gap road to Fraser's Hill by Siew Ma and the members of the Communist Party of Malaya - 6th October 1951.
After a stoped over at Tapah R & R for refreshment and refueling, we took the easiest route to Cameron Highland through Simpang Pulai. Arrived at Strawberry Park 12:55pm, still to early for check in.
So, we proceed to explore the place, took some photo and went to the stalls and farm at the junction of Strawberry Park access road. The farm called Kajimanis Strawberry Farm, where we bought some strawberries. You can't pick the fruit yourself at that farm. Also bought a few T-shirts with strawberry and Cameron logo/pictures from an Indian stall.
Highest points,
Vertical Profile:
Here you see the cross section of the routes that we have taken.
From Raub we traveled for 291km, through 3 peaks - Frazer Hill and Camerons. The highest elevation was at 1647 meter. Gunung Brincang is at over 2000 meter.
Rose Valley/Garden:
Every thing about roses
A Few Words About Roses
Types of Roses Floribunda
Make any landscape design stand out with the most colorful of rose types. Floribunda roses are bushy shrubs and produce flower clusters of three to 15
Hybrid Tea
One of the most popular rose types, hybrid teas are upright bushes that generally produce one flower per stem. Blooms have a high-center point. Many varieties reveal a beautiful fragrance.
Grandiflora
A grandiflora is a cross between a floribunda and a hybrid tea. This rose grows up to six feet tall and produces classic hybrid tea flower clusters.
Shrub & Landscape
Coming in all shapes and sizes, shrub and landscape roses work well in any landscape. Landscape roses grow close to the ground, like ground cover, and have a very spreading habit.
Climber
Climbing roses help dress up any garden, usually growing on a trellis or a fence. These roses have long, arching canes with numerous flowers that can cover walls, pillars or any other type of supporting structure.
Miniature
Miniature roses are the smallest of rose plants, growing anywhere from six inches to two feet tall. This rose type is hardy, flowers continuously and is perfect for container gardening.
Tree Roses
Tree roses are made up of a hardy root stock grafted to a long stem that is, in turn, grafted to a rose bush at the top of the stem. The tree rose is a lovely addition to the garden, but extra care is needed to insure its survival over winter.
Rose Colour and its Related Symbolism
Although preference for rose colour is pretty much up to individual taste, and usually we just go for red because it is the common colour chosen. Just for fun though, the list below shows the connection between the colour of rose and its supposedly symbolized meaning. If however your sweetheart gives you the wrong colour, don't fret though. After all it just a human invention probably passed on over as tradition through the ages, so try not to give this symbolism thing too much thought.
- Red - Love, respect
- Deep Pink - Gratitude, appreciation
- Light Pink - Admiration, sympathy
- White - Reverence, humility
- Yellow - Joy, gladness
- Orange - Enthusiasm, desire
- Red and Yellow - Gaiety, joviality
- Yellow - Sociability, friendship

Cameron Highland
I visited Cameron Highland in 1976 (30 years ago) with a group of SMSP student librarians, accompanied by Mr. Steve Wagner (peace corp. teacher). We stayed at a hostel that look like an army camp with arch zinc roof at a valley in from of Catholic Convent school.That place is long gone. Now we were fortunate to stay at Strawberry Park Resort, a 4 star hotel!.

Circumcision Mishap
Here the report from english paper,
and from malay newspaper
Gland Penis partial or total amputation should not occur if the Medical Assistant or Doctor properly visualize the gland penis (head of penis) during the circumcision procedure.
That why the dorsal slip method is advise compare to guillotine - where the fore skin of penis is cut by knife ala infamous killing technique in France Revolution - (pulling the foreskin forward and cutting off the part extending beyond the glans, the amount of skin removed depends on the tension he exerts).
There are many new technique using clamp of various names.
Our local "Tok Mudim" is using those guillotine method, but I have never heard of amputation complication except for wound infection, bleeding and late wound healing.
Here are another examples of old article from Massachusetts Lawyer's weekly about circumcision mishap. This is another case.
*** The above picture is a Dorsal-slit-and-side-cuts technique, the amount depends on doctor arbitrary choice of a line. The penis may be left totally bareheaded or partially covered. Working freehand, the doctor may or may not remove the frenulum and will leave a varying amount of the mucous inner lining.

Khatan (Circumcision)
Anak saya berkhatan pada November 2004. Tok Mudin - Ayahnya.
Hukum berkhatan:
=============
Ulama berbeza pendapat tentang kedudukan hukum berkhatan. Menurut Imam Shafie, Imam Malik dan Hambali, berkhatan bagi lelaki hukumnya wajib, berdasarkan firman Allah S.W.T dalam Al_Quran surah al-Nisa' ayat 125 dan hadis Rasullah S.A.W. "Potonglah rambut jahiliah dan berkhatanlah". {H.R. Ahmad dan Abu Daud}.
Namun menurut Mazhab Hanafi, hukumnya adalah sunat berdasarkan sabda nabi: "Khatan hukumnya sunat bagi lelaki dan kehormatan (makrumah) bagi perempuan {H.R. Muslim}.
[Ref:Ensiklofedia Islam Untuk Pelajar - vol 3, page 97]
Nabi Ibrahim AS berkhatan ketika berusia 80 tahun. Beliau khatankan Nabi Ismail AS pada usia
13 dan Nabi Ishaq AS pada usia 7 tahun. Ada riwayat mengatakan Rasulullah SAW dilahirkan
sudah berkhatan dan ada juga riwayat mengatakan baginda dikhatan oleh Malaikat Jibrail.
Hikmah dan kelebihan berkhatan:
==============================
• Berkhatan merupakan asas daripada kebersihan dan merupakan syariat Islam perlu
dikerjakan.
• Menyempurnakan tuntutan syarak yang sesuai dengan sunnah Nabi Ibrahim AS dan
Rasulullah SAW. Sebagai usaha ke arah kebersihan diri untuk mengabdikan diri pada
Allah SWT.
• Sering digunakan sebagai perbezaan antara orang Islam dan bukan Islam.
• Dari aspek kesihatan, ia boleh mendatangkan kebersihan pada kemaluan, mencantikkan
bentuk dan merangsang syahwat
• Menjaga kesihatan tenaga batin serta memelihara diri dari dihinggapi penyakit kelamin.
• Mengandungi hikmah yang besar di sebalik yang dilihat oleh mata kerana ajaran Islam
yang lengkap dan murni, setiap yang disuruh pasti mengandungi makna yang mendalam
