BUKIT TERAJA - informal

okay. this is my very first time managing a blog which isn't mine. i am not an expert in this really. so since i'm also responsible for the writing of articles to be published in the newspaper , i was thinking that maybe i can write about the trips that we have had and that we are gonna have ,INFORMALLY.. here based purely on my point of view and i will just copy paste the formal ones that i have published in the newspaper when they come out. sounds good?

Last Sunday , which was on the 24th of July 2011 , we jogging and hiking club members went for a trip to Bukit Teraja! With around less than ten teachers i think. A bus brought us there of course , but that bus , wasn't just any ordinary school bus. In fact , it wasn't even a school bus. it was sort of like a big tourist bus with adjustable chairs and also a television! We were all very comfortably seated in that bus. It was just right. So we departed from katok at 7 ish and arrived at the long house at 9 ish. Donations were given to the people living in the long house in the form of food and money. We also made very good use of the toilets available just outside the long house ;)

Okay this is really hard for me. Can i be a little bit personal here? I will be! We left the long house and arrived at the entrance to Bukit Teraja at 10 a.m. sharp , and I was scared alright. I was forewarned about the presence of leeches that would fall off randomly , unpredictably from trees and they were just gonna stick on your skin forever unless you burnt them away! That was one of the reasons why I was moving forward so fast , because I was aware that the more I was moving , the less chance leeches were gonna climb onto me , or something like that.

At 12 ish , we all reached the summit. We were literally gaping weren't we? i mean , some of us and i was one of them. to be so happy to reach the summit , so happy to witness the scenery of so much dragonflies flying across the sky. It sort of reminded me of the movie Avatar. Life , spirit , jungle and nature. I will upload the pictures soon , blogger uploader isn't working very well currently. So okay , after taking a short break , we moved backwards from where we came from. ups became downs , which was a good thing. Before we knew it , we had accomplished the highest hill in brunei BUKIT TERAJA! no more hill in Brunei that we can't climb now huh :)

After the hike , we went to wasai for lunch! almost every man took a bath and most of the women didn't hehehe :) different kind of foods were laid out on the table before us and we all ate with full appetite :) I was so curious how every food was gonna taste like so i think i tasted almost every food. well almost! i was that hungry. we left wasai at 2.55 a.m and arrived at katok again before 5.00 p.m.

It was overall a really fun but tiring trip. I slept more than ten times in the bus. The teachers were talking in front , women were mostly sleeping and the guys were singing at the back. it was fun. i wish to go there again next year hhehe :)

and ohh fatin and the ex president afiq got leeches on their skins :P
