To chris, alvin, jacky, Loo & their misses, thanks fella for the great company!
Up at the hill, watching the day-break is surreal! And Broga is so close to home, thanks to Chris for initiating the excursion.

I'll try to post some pix later.

I can feel ur passions on photo shooting... Now I knew y u need a high zoom camera...

While I'm jus a lazy point n shoot guy..

It is a great half day outing.... We shd hv this more frequent

Next maybe a makan trip to Ipoh Penang... A moonphase to tell when fisherman going out for fishing... A chronograph to time the street chef need to fry a place of mamak Mee... Or the queuing time... Or we can test or tachymeter along the highway...

I thought a watchmaker remind u not to wear 2 watches side by side like this...

Reason... The harder material will scratch the softer one...

Anyway, I'm fully aware u just wear this for photo shooting...

take 2
 

nice workout to prepare for next Sunday full marathon.

See, I was right. Broga is a "bukit" 10X lower than the highest peak in SEA.

Engkidu, see how relaxed I was after a 400M climb? haha...  :mooning:



Yea, go on, rub it in.......I nearly pengsan (not on the top, 3 quarter up only..... ;D)

Bro. Enkidu,
Do not force yourself too hard in climbing Broga Hill. Take a relax approach like going to the park for a stroll. I am sure you will enjoy it more and not feeling like going to "pengsan".

Alvin-880 - nice pic. of a relax climber.  :Dancing_banana:

Good report and great pictures there, Guys.
Miss this trip, else can join you people conquer Broga Hill again. The "Sek Dato" temple seems to me has a lot of new attractions since the last time I was there 5 years ago.

Happy for our Bro. there with the speedy pro which can be said to belong in the category of tough watch. Glad that it survived the scratch on the granite.

Next trip - where? Mt Kinabalu?  :Confused:

Hahaha...thanks for the encouragement, but the reality is that I am terribly unfit. This GTG serves me a good reminder that I need to seriously and urgently improve my fitness level... ;D

Alvin, look at the photo of me posted by jacky at the bridge. Surely now you will realised why I had the sling pouch w me all the time.
Honestly, nothin can matched the gshock when it comes to rough use.

You guys are great, looking forward to the next excursion.

Thanks, sm
