The hill known as Bukit Astakona



From Jorak we headed towards Pagoh and took a turn into a rural area.


We found a nursery leading to a hill of particular personal interest.


More than 11 years ago I wrote a piece called The hill I saw in a recent dream?. The title should be self explanatory enough. The dream left a huge impression on me that I started looking for the said hill. The clue given was it should be around the areas of  Jorak and/or Pagoh in Muar.


I've been looking at a number of places to find the hill that could match the dream.


This was attested by the following articles :-







However I found all the efforts wanting.





Running out of clues I decided to forget the matter...


But still over the years whenever I passed by Jorak or Pagoh I would look around and wonder where is the hill seen in that dream which happened end of 2007.





It was only at the end of 2018  I found a fresh lead.





Following that lead by a site visit to an old tomb in Jorak I found what seemed to be the most probable location for the hill.





And so there I was Sunday afternoon 13th January 2019 climbing this hill...








I was told it is known as Bukit (hill of) Astakona...





As I take in the views from on top I could feel yes... this is the one in the dream.





While it might not look exactly as in that dream - I've forgotten the details anyway - it sure feels right...'





Now I'm just waiting for inspiration and such to shed light what this really means...
