Nov 26, 2010

Ye Olde Smokehouse, Cameron Highlands ...
都铎风格的纯英式小酒店 ...

它始建于1937年。所以我想这是它老的魅力和有吸引力的地方 ...

We heard that dining here is really expensive with all

the menu consists entirely of British staple fare ...

It was originally opened as Ye Olde Smokehouse Inn at
Christmas time in 1937, by an Englishman Douglas Warin ...

Ye Olde Smokehouse 客栈 ...

In the beginning it had only six rooms, and its clientele was mainly
homesick British expatriates, who could only visit home once in every eight years,
looking for some cool weather and perhaps these English style gardens ...
在开始的时候只有六间房，其客户主要是

想家的英国侨民，他们只能八年回英国探望一次，

the mock Tudor-styled or Tudorbethan, first manifested itself in domestic architecture

beginning in the United Kingdom from the mid to late 19th century.

It later became an influence in some other countries, especially the British colonies.

You can find the presence of these architectural style in various parts of Malaysia ...

素都铎风格或Tudorbethan，开始在19世纪中期到晚期的基础上.

OLD is gold and this definitely rings true of The Smokehouse with its English imprint,

a nostalgic reminder of the bygone colonial era ...

这一个过去的殖民时代怀旧的Smokehouse的确提醒了老是宝 ...

There are 3 smokehouse in Malaysia, this one in Cameron Highlands
build in 1937 is the oldest. There is also another at Fraser’s Hill.

And a third one in Kuala Lumpur mainly positioned as a restaurant ...

在马来西亚有3个Smokehouse，这在金马仑高原一建于1937年是历史最悠久的。

第二所在福隆港。然而最新的一所在吉隆坡, 主要是作为餐厅的地方 ...

金马仑高原的 BOH 茶叶种植园 ...

Our first visit to a tea plantation was exhilarating with such breath-taking views ...

茶园似乎生长在山的斜坡 ...

There really seem to follow the natural contours of the landscape ...

I think growing on planned terraces that help both irrigation and soil erosion ...

Reaching the plantation up the hills ...

对我来说, 要去到山上的种植园 ...

is not entirely an easy task ...

不是一件容易的事 ...

The curvy road up the plantation is already worth the trip

弯曲的道路已经值得一游

特别是在傍晚时当太阳在壮观绿油油的茶园 ...

A gift of love 爱的礼物...

Rose Valley, Cameron Highlands ...

The Legend of the Christmas Rose ...

The Legend of the Christmas Rose speaks of a a little shepherd girl named Madelon

near the little town of Bethlehem, Madelon, tended her father's flocks by night.

While she shivered on one bitter cold night,

she heard angels singing a glorious song.

They brought glad tidings of a newborn king in Bethlehem,

she despaired that she had no gift

to bring, for Madelon was poor indeed.

As she walked toward the spot where the infant lay,

she looked for a flower to bring as her offering.

Of course, she knew that flowers do not grow in snow and ice

where the cold winds blows.

Her heart broke and she felt sad and forlorn.

As she wept, an angel singing praises took pity on her.

He swept away the snow near her feet on the frost-rimed ground.

She marveled as each of her tears turned into a new flower

when it fell to the ground.

The angel spoke and told her that this flower made the best gift

because her love created it.

The Legend of the Christmas Rose also has some foundation in this 15th Century poem:

A Rose has sprung from a tender root,

From Jesus, as those of old have sung,

And it bore a flower,

In the middle of a cold winter,

When half spent was the night.

Isaiah foretold it, the Rose I have in mind;

Is Mary the pure, the little flower has brought us.

From God's eternal wisdom, she bore a child,

And remained pure.

The Flower, so small, whose sweet fragrance fills the air,

Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere;

True man and truer God, helps us out of all sorrows,

Saves from sin and death.

Oh Jesus, until we leave this misery,

Let your help guide us into joy,

In Your Father's Kingdom, where we eternally praise You.

Oh God, allow us this.

Translated from the early 15th century German poem

"Es ist ein Ros' Entsprungen." Author unknown.

Merry Christmas ...

or is it every man's dream car;

Early Bird and Early Worm 早到者 ...

I think we may have condiser too much
of the good luck of an early bird
who "might" get the worm
but not
the bad luck of the early worm
who "may" be eaten by the early bird

Why does a Flamingo stand on one leg 为什么火烈鸟站在一条腿 ...

Scientifc answer
"Heat-regulation",
because if they stand on two-legs in the water,
heat will draw away faster from their body

Look me in the eye 看着我的眼睛 ...

This picture just reminds me of the following that
I came across a few weeks ago
Look Me in the Eyes
Michael Jordan Commercial
which sounds like this
...
Look me in the eyes.
It’s okay if you’re scared, So am I.
But we’re scared for different reasons.
I’m scared of what I won’t become,
and you’re scared of what I could become.
Look at me.
I won’t let myself end where I started,
I won’t let myself finish where I began.
I know what is within me, Even if you can’t see it yet.
Look me in the eyes.
I have something more important than courage,
I have patience.
I will become, what I know I am.

Craze for Organic 有机热潮 ...

Here in our neighbourhood,
"Re-cycle" seems to be a buzz (I think)
...
and Organic shops and eateries are
springing up like mushrooms
...
Our family is not crazy about it,
but it is not a bad idea
for lunch or idea once or twice a week
...
