Bukit Broga – 25th Dec 09

My self and Sseme went up to Bukit Broga on Christmas day.

I been to the hill few months back. But because I was there in late afternoon….around 5:30. I did not to climb to the top. I was alone and while I walking up the hill, everybody were walking down. I don’t want to end-up up there alone when night falls.

The hill is about 15km from my place. We were there at 8:20am. What surprised me was car owners who wanted to park their car in the palm oil plantation were charged RM2…. due to that quite a few cars were parked along the narrow road. I pay the RM2.

Like my previous trip, while myself and Sseme walking up everybody else were walking down. That give us good excuse for frequent stops along the trek. I lost count of our stops in less than 20mins into our ascend!!! Every body actually can make it to the peak of this hill. Some climbers bring kids as young as 3yrs old. There was a young couple who carry their baby up!! Few girls even climb with their sandals.

Just before we reach the hill top, a young boy walking down with empty drinking water bottle & beer can. It was left behind by climbers and the young boy who were with his family collect it, I believe to be sold.

We reach first look-out point in approximately 40 mins… it’s a shame actually. Many of the climbers can reach the same point in less than 30 mins.

The happiest man at the peak….Sseme!

P/S – If Abang Azmi Bogart still not convinced that he can make it to the top… only one thing I can say. If Sseme can make to the top, everybody else can.


Buka Puasa Semesta – Bif Sentral, Wangsa Maju.

My first posting……months after signed-up with WordPress!!

Semesta had our Majlis Buka Puasa at one of the alumnus restaurant…… Bif Sentral near Carrefour Wangsa Maju. Standard buffet package for walk-in customer is RM36.90, of course we get special deal!! The food was quite nice…. at any hotel you’ll need to spend more than RM60 for the same food. Advertise sikit…. lain kali dapat discount lagi!!

I’m not sure how many attended… but but looking at the size of the place and the outside seating Bro Rosdi had to add, I guess we had more than 120, excluding the kids.

I have to start the post with this photo…..if not I won’t be able to complete even my first posting!!

As usual…. after buka puasa & maghrib prayers, Lensa Farisian group had one corner to ourself. Sseme can’t stop talking about “his” Nikon D90 which not in Malaysia yet. Prof KMS can’t wait for Sony A900 and new firmware for his A700. And my 40D keep changing hands… most of the times with Dashuki, trying my new 50mm f1.4 ………none of the shots here is by me!!

Sseme dok tilik steak Bif Sentral….. sedap wey. I guess Farissa is reminding her father not to eat too much mutton!!

Don’t be surprised…Prof KMS still loyal to his A700, I superimposed “Canon” to his strap. Mintak maaf Pak Din deh!!

The happiest person of the night must be Mat Kamil, he manage to bring all of us together & raise almost RM1000 for Semesta fund. CONGRATS & a big THANK YOU you from all of us!!

Mat Kamil - our organiser, the happiest person of the night.
