For this week, I just went straight to the location that is in the Kampung Mentiri because i already know the places due to Im doing the recce on saturday with Dr Irene and BEACA friends. Since Big Tree located at highland so we have to go with the car to upper place. The view in that place was so beautiful. I almost not believe in what im seeing because it show one of the best part of Brunei that people very rare to know. We can see south China sea and a few stranded island. Not to be surprise messages come one by one to show that we are not far from our neighbourhood country that is Malaysia.
While waiting for others to come by bus I took the opportunity to sit down and enjoying the beautiful view of sunday morning, Smell the scent of fresh leaves and watching the people doing their daily job. We were divided into three group since there were only three leaders and sweepers. My job for that day is to be the sweeper of Nuh and our members was Imelda, Mizah, Diana and Hj Irwan. I will be at the back of the group watching them walking, reminding to be careful of some dangerous spot, telling some plant we acrrosed by and also where are we going next.
Like we had been telling by Dr Irene during recce. For this trekking we will doing a Lollipop way where we will started walking along the stick and go circle through the lollipop. There is a time when we have to go down by rope because it was so slippery and quit dangerous. We also crossed a waterfall where the water flowed to the nearest river.
The most interesting part during the trekking was we were seeing like a big wall in the jungle where maybe it suit to do a rock climbing. I was so fascinate with this big wall and as if we were not in Brunei. Once again this part had shown the hidden beautiful of Our Brunei. The most amazing part of our trekking yesterday was we found the big tree that we aim to see and search for. once again i feel absorb with thE BIG TREE that stand there more than hundred years. it was so big that we only manage to go circle the tree by thirteen members.
Plants that we found was like Tongkat Ali. This Tongkat Ali is usually uses for medical purposes. Others like Liana vines, Kalamunting and Sumbui- sumbui. Different species of animal like ants, bee, spider can also be found during our trekking.
After two hours, we finally go out through the jungle. But we cant find the first group that lead by Dillah and we assume they were lost. Soon after we met up with Dr Irene, we told them some were lost in the jungle so some of Beaca with Dr Irene had to search for them. While waiting we took the opportunity to get some pictures of the environment and us. Fifteen minutes later they manage to find the group and bring them out.
What I had learned;
- To be a LEADER you must have that power to SPEAK and INSTRUST your member.
- TEAMWORK is so IMPORTANT when you are IN JUNGLE
- DONT PANICC!! if you are LOST
- WATER is IMPORTANT so you dont get dehydrated easily.
- STAY CLOSE DONT GET SEPARATE
- COMMUNICATE with your members
Overall, the whole trekking was FUN, AWESOME, AMAZING and FANTASTIC. I was delight to be one of the members of BEACA because i can see the beautiful of Brunei which were most of it hidden in the forest. Now i dont need to go outside Brunei just to see the beautiful of its environment becauce Brunei also have it.
