Last Sunday was a memorable family trip for me. My elder sister had been planning to go on a trip to Cameron Highland since the last summer holiday but due to schedule problem the trip was postponed. Finally, after we got everything arranged we set the date on last Sunday. We departed at 6 o cock early in the morning. It was quite a difficulty to pull myself up from slumber land. However, when I thought of the fresh strawberries in the highland I quickly freshened up.
The way to Cameron Highland was bumpy and winding so that we could not take a nap in the car. Throughout the journey I felt dizzy while my sister vomited. Guess what? Our parents were still able to talk cheerfully and humorously. After three and half hours we finally reached the destination.
After checking in to the hotel, we visited strawberry farm.. The bracing air of Cameron Highland was fresh and cold. Although I was wearing sweater at the time, I was shivering due to the weather. The strawberry farm is big and besides strawberries (duh!), there were different types of flowers and vegetables such as radishes, cauliflowers, and cabbages. I noticed that the price of the vegetables is much cheaper than those available in hypermarkets. The foods and beverages sold in the farm (yes good marketing strategy) are mostly strawberry flavour. We filled our stomach with strawberries pancake, strawberries cheese cake, strawberries milk shake and a very big size fruit salad as our breakfast. It was extremely tasty! Not to forget this meal only cost us about RM 60. Cheap!

Then we went back to the hotel and bathed. When I was about to change my pair of long jeans to a pair to short pant, my sister was persuading me not to do that because the weather was cold. Of course I told her off and didn’t heed her advice because she was wearing a pair of shorts shorter than mine. In the evening, we had dinner in a Chinese restaurant and strolled along a night market. The night market was selling vegetables, flowers, foods, and different kinds of strawberries made products. My family bought vegetables and fruit whereas I just got myself souvenirs.
The next day, we woke up fresh as a daisy after a long sleep. We checked out from the hotel and walked to the morning market that was located nearby our hotel. We were slightly disappointed seeing that the products sold there were similar to the night market. We ended our short trip right after that. I enjoyed the trip although it was only two days because what matters after all is the time spent with family.
The statement in blue shows us Tu quoque Fallacy. It is a mistake done when it involves a speaker (writer) making an argument that points out someone has the same fault he is accusing the speaker (or writer) of having. Instead of providing a reason to why I still wanted to wear short pants, I refuted her by saying she wore even shorter pants.
