Last night, Sharon & I bought dinner for Yen Lin's birthday and we decided on Seoul Palace, USJ19. And of course, for a week... Yen Lin and I were contemplating whether we should proceed with the Broga Hill hiking since it's been raining every night. Finally, yesterday morning, I decided, "Yes... just go."
With Sharon, Yen Lin & Helen from ex-Star Cruises colleagues. The drive to Kajang/Semenyih via LDP & SILK is easy; all the way straight. I studied the map to the hotel a little on Google Map so I sensed Helen took a wrong turn into Kajang town instead of another route that can by-passed it. As we were waiting at a traffic light and Sate Kajang Haji Samuri was right in front of us, I told Yen Lin, "You still have room for sate?" and she laughed at me and said, "Why? Are we stopping by?" and I replied while the traffic light turned green and Helen turned in, "I dunno... I think we are..." Kekeke... We parked our cars, paid for the parking and walked into the shop entrance and then, Helen said 1 of her Kajang friend is picking us to go to another nicer sate shop. But, by the time we got there, it's closed! No sate!! So near and yet can't eat it.
We checked-in to YL Hotel @ Jalan Semenyih of Taman Jasmine around mid-night before the climb. I didn't sleep much because sharing a room with 3 other ladies may not always be easy *chuckled*. Awake about 4.30am and had a quick breakfast of latte & cappucino-flavoured bread to kick-start myself with lots of caffeine. Short 10~15mins drive from hotel to Broga foothill which is actually an old oil palm plantation. Parking facility is surprisingly at RM2/car but without any guidance and it's superb-dark. Recommended next trip to drive a 4-wheel or Hilux; as rough as possible. It's a challenging hike and managed to only explore the peak of the 1st hill. Heard that there are 4 all together. I'm definitely coming back!! Wanna also make sure the next trip; I'll take a stroll at the Semenyih Lake and campus tour of University of Nottingham and drop by for Sate-Kajang!
