I know I know!

*Warning Photo Heavy*

Yes it has been an age and a half since I updated this blog. I've almost forgotten what blogger looks like. But as usual the impetus to write only begins when one has something to say. And now I have something to say with Pictures.

Two years ago I posted about the Moonlight Bungalow in Cameron Highlands. Well two years later, I managed to get close enough to Moonlight to take these shots.

Moonlight is now for sale.

The Veranda


The story was Moonlight was bought by an English man some two years ago and he basically refurbished the ground floor. When he applied for a permit to build an extension and refurbish the upper floor, he was denied. The rumour was that the Sultan of Pahang did not want any part of the bungalow to be demolished or renovated in anyway for heritage reasons.

So the English man left the bungalow in its current state and put it up for sale. Anyone got RM 5 million in spare cash?

Are you ready for some photoes of the interior?

On the end of the big living space on the ground floor is another fireplace. The two doors beside it lead to two rooms with ensuite bathrooms.

Kitchen

The kitchen is seperated from the main house by a small passage at the other end of the Veranda. Here is where the cooking range would have been.

The upper floor and the caretaker's quarters were left in disrepair and I didn't want to take photoes of it. Didn't want to chance capturing some random orbs.
