Jibusaka Revisited

Last Friday, Nizam came back early from work and we headed straight to Jibusaka Highlands Toyota owned Log Cabin Resort for an overnight stay. We went together with Hamidi and family, and Norbert & Agnes (our Philipino neighbour). After 2 hours journey from Toyota Shi, it was already dark and really chilly (0 degree Celcius) when we got there. At the first glimpse of snow, we were already clapping our hands and got really excited...(somehow this year, kat Toyota Shi snow tak turun as much as it did last year! Sekarang sakura dah bud out dah pun...and it is still February!). By the time we got to the resort gate it was snowing heavily when we were fixing the tire chain. We were even more elated! The girls came out from the car, jumping up and down in the snow while snapping some pictures while the guys were freezing cold fixing the tire chain for us to climb up to the cabin!
We checked into a different cabin this time but the interior of the house is exactly the same as what we had the first time we came here last winter. I was really happy off course! Both the house and the interior was really beautiful!
It was really nice and warm inside the house but the view outside, though it was miserably cold and chilly, it was breathtaking...even at night time! I was just so overwhelmed! Looking through the windows, I kept wishing that if only we could have stayed longer and I could enjoy the house and the view nicely. Somehow, log cabins and snow makes me feel melancholy like you know..?! i don't think I could ever get enough of it. Reminded me so much of my first taste of log cabin and snow in Canada when I went on an exchange programme before...
It was just a wish off-course! itu pun nasib baik that we got the booking handed over to us by Kak Mimi. Thank You Kak! (She changed her mind about going there as she was going to Hakuba). Bookings can only be done 2 months in advance, so you could imagine how difficult it was to get the reservations! Any cancellations would totally be so sayang!!!
After having a macaroni soup dinner, we had some cheesy popcorn (courtesy of Agnes) before it was time for bed. Norbert and Agnes had the room upstairs and the rest of us occupied the room downstairs. The guys had fun camping in the living room. All nice and cozy, sampai Zura and I boleh jealous jer tengok!
The next morning, we had tuna sandwich for breakfast and some macaroni soup left over for breakfast. After some picture taking sessions again around the house, (this is Umair enjoying the fresh winter air by the way!), we checked out at 10a.m and headed next door to the ski park. We only had fun playing with the sled though. It was especially nice to us looking at how much Umair was enjoying himself sledding with his Daddy... sampai menangis nangis tak nak balik! After a couple of hours at the park, we headed home. It was at 3pm when we arrived home in Ekaku and called it a day..
