Published by Coconutkun under on 5/21/2009 08:14:00 PM









Isnt the next blog suppose to be Irau? Paise paise..Broga pictures has been in my hard drive for so long that i thought i might as well post and be done with it..Pictures seen here is my third round at Broga, so i wont write much about this place already..this event was held before my Penang and Langkawi trips. somewhere in April.An outstanding 24 ppl in 6 cars turned up for this event..about half was my group, the rest Suli's.. Broga is now overcrowded with ppl! Gone are the days when there used to be so few ppl that know this place..Well, time to move on to nicer places.. Ciaoz Broga!






Broga the return

14th March 2009 was the day i went to Broga the second time! wohoo!..cham lo, i sure had alot of ppl going "Hey, why you didnt call me?!".. Dun worry, I am very sure there is a third time..LOL..cos i missed the sunrise again! wah lau eh, this sun ah, really shy shy tei and play hide and seek..This time's trip wasnt bad either; the view was perfect, the skies-clear and blue, the air-moist and cold...But these didnt come without a price..We had to weather quite a bad rain before we reach the top..it was dark, wet, muddy and the terrain slippery...i really felt bad for the girls that time, and a little concerned abt their safety; however, cheers to the girls of this trip who were really sporting and strong.Well done!...This time around, my ex-university mate Suli and her sister as well as che che Mei Yen joined us..

I have never been on top a hill after rain..I guess it was all worth it after all..there has never been a clearer view of the whole place..i guess you can even see the difference in the pictures taken during my first time and this one..At the top, it really felt as though 'you are FREE!!'; which was why i uploaded this song to accompany this article..(check out the lyrics, its great)

Thanks to Suli and Eugene, this time around, we were able to sample Broga's famous Ikan Bakar! Suli only knew the direction to the place if we brought her to the temple (c0s the restaurant is near the temple) while Eugene on the other hand only knew how to get to the temple. Their combined knowledge enabled us to test of one of the best ikan bakar thus far..I think it all boils down to the fish being fresh..And believe me, there is nothing fresher than getting straight outta the pond...We ordered a few varieties that day..Each medium sized fish costed us RM 8 which was fairly reasonable. Their curry mutton was great too..

Finally, pink is blogging..."stop posting pictures on fb la...at least write some story ma"..."hey, do you blog?"..."Blog la, so i can have updates on you"...These are some of the things friends keep telling me...but anyway, i like to post pictures...so, this is just an extension of my interest.. In any case, lets cut the crap and start with recent stuff ive been doing lately...

9th Feb 2009, Chap Goh Mei day and the day after thaipusam day, ming, yee leng and i decided to go to Broga to watch the sun rise...Probably u might have already guessed, we left super early to greet the sun that day(430 a.m).. the journey to broga took abt an hour an a half from Klang. We had a few misturns but it was overall an easy drive (considering no nut will drive at this time)...and asam sweets can really keep the driver awake..


Pix: Heaven and earth; taken at broga

Yee leng was a new addition to the hiking group..so we decided to give her a new nickname and theme song..thanks to Ming, her name was henceforth known as MUSHTARO!! (mushroom + hamtaro = mushtaro)...and the theme song had Kamen Rider - go go let's go!! tune to it...very retro - see vid for the ori Kamen rider song... Anyway, there were two possibilities why Yee leng was so hyper that day..it could have either been the new theme song that we just gave her or perhaps the Jasmine + Lux ~perfumed water she was drinking all the way...Lol

Anyway, the hike to broga was "meant" to be easy...10 minute walk, 20 minute uphill...unfortunately, what was supposed to be 30 minute hike ended up an hour cos we got lost...the thing about broga is, the road that didnt seem to be to way, was infact the way!..The picture on the left is a pic of broga in the dark (Haha, i noe..its lame) ...so anyway, we were lost in some rubber plantation..for first timers, if youre in a rubber plantation, then you're heading the wrong way!..And guess what? we met some other sesat ppl in the darkness too..or were they ppl?...hmmm...But the thing is, getting lost in the jungle in the middle of the darkness was really no joke....i kept thinking about the witch from the game life4dead..wouldnt want to bump into those in the jungle (watch the second clip to see da "WITCH!!")



And so we were lost along with some other ppl...now that i noticed, these guys in the pix really DONT HAVE LEGS leh..O.o"..neway, the hill at the backdrop was suppose to be the hill we were suppose to climb..and sadly, the sky was already getting brighter..we missed the sun that day..BUT...we didnt give up just yet...we were determined to to climb Broga hill even though we missed the sunrise...AND our efforts paid off...the scenery at Broga was breath taking...Well, pictures tell more than words, so ill probably spam pictures from this point onwards



The place where we "sesat"ed had quite nice views as well













Heading on the right path...
