YY : 4am tomorrow morning wake up, we go climb Broga Hill

Our objective : To watch the sunrise.
Was it in Semenyih? I also cannot remember.
But my point.
So we arrived at 6ish when everything was still pitch black. Like black, BLACK.
And Broga is a hill covered in yes, greenery and stuff so that makes it even MORE black.
Good thing the boys brought torches.
Let me just say the first half of the climb was fairly easy, more of like walking up wide steps. The second half was steeper and more sandy, hence more slippery but with less trees around. There were quite a bunch of people climbing and the human jam started at the steep part where you see congregations of humans stopping to rest. Since it was still quite dark, the mass of torches lit the hill up like a Christmas tree.
Literally.
It was quite surprising to see that most climbers were young adults with SLRs strapped around their necks. Yes. Tooting heavy SLRs carried right to the top. Out of the 8 of us that went, 3 of us brought SLRs.
Why the pain right? Just for that perfect shot.
So did we manage to find the sun to watch it rise?
No.
All we saw were clouds.
But despite the clouds, we still did manage to see the change of colour in the sky when touched by the sun's golden fingers.
Then being Malaysian, we can't go anywhere without food.
Those are Chipster Chips. We should qualify for some advertisement reward for this shot. Carrying the packet all the way up there. Another 100g load added to our already heavy SLRs.
Funny how small things in life can give you such joy when you look back. It was a random suggestion during one of our yum cha nights which lead to me climbing up with my old schoolmates. Despite being in the UK for 5 years and counting, I appreciate my time with them when I am home - I really do.
I suppose the best friends you make are those you encounter during your years of education.
If only we can all go back to 17 again.
