Experiencing climbing Broga Hill

 


   
A few months back which was in the 19th of March (thankfully I still remember the date), a few college chumps planned to have an outing. An outing between ATC-ians and eventually came up with this brilliant idea of climbing Broga Hill. When I was in high school, I've heard of this Broga Hill and words going round saying that it's worth to pay a visit. I was even told by one of my college mate that it was one of the must-visit hill in the world. WOW. I kinda like stepped back a bit and decided to go! 
After I've done packing up, me, Lance and Yew Tze went for an overnight stay at Sylvester's. I tried so hard to fall asleep at 11pm when I knew we were going for the expedition at 3am. Yes it was midnight cuz by the time we arrive at the peak of  Broga hill it will be just in time for us to witness the sunrise :)
Let the pictures do the talking shall we.



A little did I mention, I was so numb I forgot to take a torchlight with me and it was so pitch dark at 3am. Thanks YewTze for lending me his mobile torch or else I wouldn't wanna think about the consequences I cannot bear with it.



It was just 4am, and the amount of people doubled every minute.


 ALAS! We arrived at the peak. Not to mention my constant feeling of throwing-ups while climbing. I have to admit that I'm not good at sports that is so true. My stomach was doing back-flips which made me feel so uncomfortable and I had to make regular stops for me to catch my breath and to regain my strength.





The view form the peak at 7.15am.

A further 3.1km to Gunung Tok Wan.








Joo Wen's shoe had torn. I wonder how she'd manage to go down the hill. Poor thing.





Ahhhh! The picturesque view from the hill. Everything is just so natural. This greenery scene is something we don't see everyday. Gotta miss it so much.



Looking back the path we've actually taken, I cannot help but to awe and felt so proud of myself that I've conquered my weakness of, well, sports. I kid you not! The sense of achievement was so fervent that I've got to say I'M AWESOME! lol

 Tadaaa!


When I thought going up the hill was hard, reality proved me wrong. Going down the hill was no easy feat either! It was actually far more dangerous and steep! I hereby advise those who would like to take this challenge, better wear those shoes with nails.
You won't like those mini heart-attacks you get when you're almost falling but thank God you get your balance back very quickly.



 
So congested.

 We made a pit-stop for a while to catch our breath in the meantime enjoy the view from uphill.








 So I came up to this idea of doing a jump shot. And obviously I wasn't ready. Pffffft





 YAY!! Finally a nice jump-shot!

Cing-Cing mediating. Shhh. Be very very quiet...

And this is Joo Wen with her sunny smile.
 

I was so shocked after looking at the path when I got down because I didn't realise it when I got up for it was so dark but now that I could see, I was stunned for seconds and thencame my signature "OH MY GOD!!!" exclaimation.
 

Back down where the journey first begun.

 Everyone was exhausted.

And NO he was not naked he was just topless.

 This is cute.



 We went for breakfast after this whole brilliant hiking experience to the nearest Old Town café to settle our tummy before we head back home. It was tiring and I was thoroughly fatigue as I only had 3 hours of sleep that I actually napped at the long upright sofa-seat at the café for a while. Although I was completely knackered, but it was a good sense of tired that came from having achieved something good.
I should really do sports more often right?

Sorry dear heart.

   
 
 


When I'm writing this, I had a very strong feeling of sentiment. I don't know, unknown reasons are making me feel this way. But perhaps one of the reasons is because I turned blogging-inept for this 6 months and now I'm finally coming back to home and yes I would say this is my home it's pretty much a self-owned world to me where I could declare myself as Princess as if I'm really am and not getting response like "Oh she's so vain who she think she is" and negative self-esteem destruction remarks whatsoever.

Time flies and throughout this 6 months' period I've definitely grew up. My life's being a roller coaster ride. It has its ups and downs and crazy curves but nevertheless fun. I shall begin with the biggest down-part. Straight-forwardly to say, I broke up. And this is not merely hooking up and breaking up. My experience of breaking up isn't nothing without it's pain, tears, dismay and sorrow. Through this relationship only had I knew how blind-folded am I and how possibly ever stupid and dumb I could ever be. But after all these kickings and throwings and tears-shedding and head-bawlings,  I started to get tired and ponder deeply, and realised that I've got no one to blame but myself. All these while I've been so reluctant to fall for anyone. When it comes to love I'll put my guards up because of a terrible past experience I've seen and being a victim myself really affects the way you see things. Maybe happy endings don't exist. I was upset why someone who said I will never ever hurt you, are the ones that hurts you the MOST? Heartbroken, I've made up my mind to move on because in life, you will never get to know everything and anything about someone. As I've once told a friend, everyone has 3 lifes. Public life, private life, and lastly, secret life. The latter is the one that's most harassing and often is the one that ruin things.
I felt like a fool. I played your games and stood up for my excuses but all they led me to was PAIN. I feel like I should never even bothered, I feel like you've played me.
Next time, don't love someone too much, it will eventually disappoint you. All left behind were the memories. Memories won't fade. I have plenty of sweet memories with him we created them together. Having a sharp memory is good, but sometimes the ability to forget is much better. Memories are the ones that could make me smile, and at the same time,  draw tears from me. I'm glad that I've walked away from you. You don't seem to top me or even by any chance want me back either. I don't know. It was like, you took me to the stars, but didn't bring me back. You just let me fall. But if I'm not good enough to deserve you, then you don't deserve to have the best of me. My needs are simple, all I want is someone who can prove that not all men are the same. I thought you were different. Clearly, you have to much to conceal. This is pathetic.
Pains made me stronger. Tears made me braver. Heartbreak made me wiser. So I'm thanking you, my past, for me having a better future and I've had more time for other things in life. I've finally got to appreciate the quality times with family and friends. And most of all, the penchant which I've ditched all because I wanna spend time with you. Clearly I'm directing this to blogging. Know what? I don't want my old and broken heart. You can have it. Cause I'm creating a new and stronger one you can never have.
Frankly to speak, my thoughts always drift to you and the times we shared, but then I remembered how you broke my heart and realised I'm so much better off :)
They say, usually the girl with all the smiles, are the one with the most heartbreaks. Yes I'm the one. But I will prove this saying wrong. One day I will :)
Love is just a fairy tale. I'm not Cinderella, and prince charming is just a scam.
Forever and ever? Promises? It's a lie..
What's LOVE?
Land of lies. Ocean of sorrows. Valley of death. End of life.
I'm out. Right now, all I can say is that I'm happier now than I've been in a really long time and it feels so damn good!
