Broga Hill

Yesterday morning, I did something kinda crazy. Just because Sen Loong was here to stay with us in Semenyih for a few days and we have nothing better to do... Isaac suggested that we climb Broga hill in the morning. So woke up at 6 a.m (it's killing me softly to wake up so early) just for hill climbing.

It's not sunrise yet, this is the jungle that enters Broga hill:

First, we have to pass through this oil palm forest, and the destination will be the 5th peak. It's still kinda dizzy during the slow walk and a little climbing. It was sunrise until we reached the first peak when the scene became clearer and we were kinda heat up.

This is really nice as a wallpaper:

So, after a short break at the first peak. Here we are charged and energetic to conquer the rest of the peaks. There's a lot of walking and climbing, especially when you're near to a peak, the rocks are really steep.

We're coming!


Can you see me in the left picture?

With my distorted right shoulder (ya... I twisted it again in my previous badminton session), it's pretty hard at certain parts. Anyway, since the pace is on, we're quite fast for the rest of the peaks. We have some fun though.

Check this out, we can see Nottingham Uni and Broga town:


We spent a lot of time chilling at the highest peak:




Finally, enough of fooling around. We turned back and it's all the way down T_T. Well, it's not that hard going down but rather a bit more dangerous, most of the path is sliding or dashing down XD. The whole "trip" take us almost 2 and a half hours, most of the time are used for photo shooting, going down is really quick.

Group photo, me, Eugene, Isaac and Sen Loong:

We noticed there're other cars when we came back, means other visitors are here, never thought this hill is so famous =.=. On the way back we encountered a group of students (probably) doing some simple filming and interview, a middle-age man who alone and even a family climbing the hill. Besides the Of course, we're kinda hungry after that, so we had our second round of breakfast at Broga.

Some other cars at the "parking space":


干捞面 at Broga:


"He stood up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly all was calm."

Thank you LORD for blessing us along the trip, thanks for this good time of fellowship. Once again, You showed me Your greatness through nature. It's big and beautiful, but You're even more than that, how great Thou art. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
