Malaysia: Semenyih - Broga Hill Sunrise Viewing trip

Wake up 4 in the morning, drive all the way to Semenyih. Climb all the way up, ended up thick fog and no Sunrise. Dissapointed but yet we enjoy the whole trip, we laugh during the whole journey. Let's do it again next time!

This is what John wrote in his photo album named "Climb, fall, laugh and eat" for the trip to Broga Hill, I did all except fall. LOL.

I heard of Broga Hill some time ago yet i haven't got a chance to visit, so finally Kuan suggested a trip with new friend John (he was that time) and i more than happy to join in.

John brought his friend along and this is how i know Ah Yat aka Horace.

And yup we woke by 4am, Kuan was the driver and i was the radio, the very first time i met Horace and i screwed my imagine up by talking too much, thanks to John and Kuan.

Brogo Hill is really out of my expectation, i mean i thought this is just a simple hill and you just need to walk up leisurely and damn this is totally wrong.

I believe we took the right track just the pathway were so steep and slippery, that's not easy to walk up at all, in fact we were climbing with our bare hand most of the times.

I didn't go for out door activities much ever since i got back for NZ, i thought this is easy but the pathway is really freak me out. Just advice for you guys, bring glove and wear tough climbing shoes, it do help. For those who wanna up for sunrise, get torch light, the pathway is deadly dark.

And if you don't see a sunrise like us, turn your torch light on and rise from horizon, pretending the ray were the sun. LOL.


About 5 - 6am.



Runaway from city again.



Broga Hill also name as esparto grass hill.



I like this one


I don't remember how many times we spent to up to the peak, probably 2 hours or something. But the peak we stop were not the top peak, you can go further to another peak actually, but all of us were exhausted and we just wanna lay on the platform after all 75 degree steep pathway.

We were waiting for the sun but as you can see that was is cloudy day, we see nothing until the sky was turning bright.

But the view is not bad at all.


Bright and we see no sunrise :(



Chill



Nice

We chill on the peak for an hour or so, John looked so pill till i thought he was goin to die on the peak. While Kuan was climbing up and down like a monkey and new friend Horace is strong and steady weiiiiiiiii.

Me? photo taking la.


Ready to be kick



John is dying, Horace is dead.



Further to higher peak





Awww fairy tales!



Kuan



Horace



John



Us


Very nice trip with old friend (Kuan was my primary and high school mate) and new friends, and ever since this trip we hang out quite often and we went to Pangkor (yes, i went Pangkor 3 times in 2 months) together with Elaine.

And so Elaine is one in the gang too, and for the very first time in my life, Elaine finally brought her very first ticket and fly to Korea with I, Kuan and John (we're still persuading Horace lo) in coming March!

Ok coming up will be sea and sea and sea. There are 2 Pangkor trip with Elaine for her birthday and Kuan's gang. Same location but we did different things la. Stay tuned for updated k?
