2 B TO: SUBHECT: Tips on saving money Dear Krisha, I will be glad to give you some suggestions on how to help your cousin save more money. Looking at his expenses, he can save more money by cutting down on his shopping and going to the movies. Only buy what is really needed instead of buying all that he wants. In addition, I m sure he can save a lot by cutting down on taxi rides. He can car pool or take the bus or LRT to save more money. Otherwise, if it s near enough he can either cycle or walk. All this will help him save a bit more. I hope this helps.

We stayed at Brinchang Lodge for two nights. If you go there, there are so many activities you can carry out. You can trek up Gunung Brinchang and walk through the Mossy Forest. You will be enjoying the beautiful natural environment there not to mention the cool weather. There is also the Boh Tea Centre you can visit. It s a very interesting place where you get to see how tea leaves are plucked and produced. And of course, you can also buy tea there. Apart from that, you can visit the Orang Asli village and go strawberry plucking at the Strawberry Farm. If you still have time, there is also the Butterfly Farm and Time Tunnel to visit. The Time Tunnel is a local museum which you may find interesting. Otherwise, I would recommend plucking strawberries! There s nothing like eating them fresh off the vine. You can also go shopping for flowers and cactus if you like. You will find many things to do in Camerons and I m sure your family will enjoy it there.
