2nd Broga Hill Challenge

Charles stayed overnight on Friday as he's meeting his friends (from KL)to climb Broga Hill the next morning, at 5:30 am! I know it's crazy enough to do that, some more it'll be weekend, it was told that the place will be super crowded, but I did it.

Super crowded at first peak:

I came here 2 years ago, and this is literally queuing up Broga Hill, I can't believe it until I really tried it. Even passing through the palm oil estate that should be 20 minutes or less took me more than 30 minutes. But this time, I see a solid sunrise, not like the last time, misty and hazy.

This time the sunrise is nice:

There are some changes, the final peak actually become more spacious and there are extra sign boards. The Malaysia flag sure is interesting. Out of 11 of us, only 7 made it to this peak, and 5 waited for our turn to take picture with the flag.

Final peak:

That's not the end of the surprise, I never knew there are stalls at the bottom (they're not there when we started). I thought I'm gonna wait quite long for the others to reach the bottom as I almost ran down the hill. Hey, but the coconut drink is actually quite nice.

Coconut drink and ice cream:

After that, they asked me to bring them to Jia Xiang restaurant for lunch (I never knew this common lunch place could be that famous). They're still kinda active, and I brought them for a little tour in my uni.

Lunch and Nottingham tour:


"Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance."

Thank You Lord for another morning to witness Your magnificent creation and to enjoy fellowship with new people. Pray that You will awaken us from this blinded life and teach us how to humble ourselves. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
