Long holiday just past!!!

Last weekend, I went back Langkap, Perak to visit my foster family and sent them mooncake for the coming mooncake festival early next month. Kean Yap fetched me and his hometown friends on Saturday morning. We supposed to depart from my place around 10am but ended up depart around 12pm something after servicing Kean Yap's car and having our nice dim sum breaksfast at Seri Kembangan. Kean Yap dropped by me at Bidor around 4pm after jamming at the highway from Slim River till Sungkai, as expected. My foster father fetched me at Bidor to Langkap, as usual.

During the 3 days 2 night trip, I just stayed at house, other than meeting up and yumcha with friends there. It is good to escape from the busy life at city (KL). I was very relaxed and enjoyable during the few days trip although I did not go for further trip. Kean Yap, whose hometown is at Malim Nawar, Kampar came to fetch me at Langkap on Monday night to meet up with Yong Joo, Yen Thoong and Choi Ling at Yen Thoong house, Sungai Long. We supposed plan to have steamboat but due to the fact that not many people could make it, this plan was subsequently cancelled. We reached around 11pm and went for a yumcha at Balakong area.

The highlight of this long holiday was trip to Broga Hills on Tuesday mroning. We planned to see the sunrise but due to heavy rains, we delayed until around 10am. We ate a "char siew bau" before going up and it was very bad to do that. We should not eat so heavy breaksfast, especially the time before climbing up the hill. This was a big lesson to learn and reminder not to do it next time!!!!

My stomache was not feeling well and I have no choice but to take rests at few stops. Another reason was that my stamina was not enough. I need to train muself well and exercise. I really hope that one day i would be able to climb to the peak of Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Southeast Asia!!!

Anyway, I managed to climb to the 2nd lookout point. Here are some of the nice photos taken:









I would certainly come to climb broga hulls next time. I hope to go until the peak at 4th lookout point!!! I could do it!!!

We climbed down around 12pm and went for the popular "pan mee" at Broga town before going to visit the popular temple nearby. The temple was a place for screen of a Singapore movie called "Lao Si Jiao Lao Da"!!!

Nice view taken from the temple at Broga town
