I have went to most parts of Malaysia before for shopping, trekking and food, but are there any less known areas in Malaysia that might be worth exploring? Any resorts that are not too man-made and touristy?
Also, I hope to visit a cooler place and escape from the scorching tropical heat which I get in Singapore whole year round, without going all the way to the European or American continents.
I've been to Hong Kong last June, and places like Japan or Korea are too costly for a student for me at this moment.
I'd be going with my boyfriend and it should be a leisure trip (or any suggestions for interesting places for sight-seeing?).
Thanks for the help in advance!

Singapore is a hot place so you can't escape from that.
If you want something NOT touristy then it'll still be fine. There is lots of good shopping in Singapore and the city is clean. The people are nice too. For dinner/drinking dates, I recommend going to the Singapore River. Chinatown or Little India are also both nice. I loved Sentosa Island but it is very touristy so don't go there if that is what you want to avoid......Shopping again is great.

Hi, are you going to Singapore at all? If not, may I recommend a trip to Chiangmai, in northern Thailand. It is of cooler climate and have many nice places to visit. Good for trekking to hilltribe villages too. Give it a try. Check out www.tourismthailand.org. You can contact me at tongbn@yahoo.co.uk for options if you like.
