The Last One For 2008


I'm squeezing everything in this post because I want the 2008 moments to be posted under 2008 archive. If not, then so last year tia~ So fasten your seatbelt, ready, get set, and Go Back! :P

2008 - Let's look back

There's no harm in looking back the past. Ayte? So, this is it. We're leaving 2008, welcoming 2009 and I'm sharing my best 2008 moments with you all.

Obviously, contradicting my main topic 'the best 2008 moments', the first story I'm about to tell you is not a bed time story nor the best moment 0f 2008. I distinctly remember during the first month of this year, I didn't have a good start. I mistakenly applied a job that did not suit me (a temporary job that I quit after two weeks). It was indeed a good/bad experience for me and my friend, Iqmarul. The job given was awful-awful. S-E-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y. The rules and regulations were tahi-mahi and the 'bosses' are liar-liar. Inspite of that, we met wonderful colleague which now I often see some of them working in Gadong. They like it there and finally found a job that pays. I'm so happy for them :D Seriously, who really wants to work when you were told during the interview, you will be given one day off in a week when actually they didn't give you any? When you applied for a certain position but was given tahi-jubur? When you were told to have a full payment but they kept deducting for no reason? When they said your working hours is 9AM - 7PM but then told you it's from 9AM - 10PM? These are all started happening after we had signed for the employment. We worked 24/7 9-10 every single day and still we didn't get full payment. They didn't even increase the payment even the working hours was extended. Fuhh!!


After quitting that tahi-mahi job, I was jobless for a month :( later in the middle of february, I got an interview for a job (Netcom) and I got it! Yeay.. It was a ten-day job, only for the expo and the pay was good. Big thanks to Iera and Iq. Laps~ While I was still under Netcom, I got a call from HSBC asking me to come for an interview the next day. I was like.. 'Wow!! Baru jua 3 hari di Netcom, ada tia lagi kan kana offer'. So, I had no choice.. The next day, I asked for a permission to get out from Netcom for few hours. I felt like cheating them because I went out for another job but at the same time, I did it for me because Netcom was only for ten days. Heee~ Excited about the interview, I forgot to bring my original certificates :( Apalagi, I went home to get them, drove to Bandar and was an hour late for the interview. Huhu.. and the interview was a mess!

At the end of the interview;

Interviewer : You probably won't get this job. So, I wish you good luck :)

Me : Ok! Thanks

Interviewer : Bye

Me : Bye

Sad, knowing that I blew away my chance of getting another job. Went back to I.C.C where I was working during the expo and layaning the customers. Then nda lama atu, the boss offered me if i was interested working at netzone (not sure i) gadong. I rejected it because of the working hours. Another rezeki terlepas. Bak pepatah 'Yang di kejar tak dapat, yang di kandung berciciran'.

Now let's look at the pictures below.

The One With Another One

Aaaaiii ya ya ya yai yai yai yai yaaaa~
What is happening to Brunei's sports?
First, it was our exclusion from the olympic
and now our national
football team? What?

The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has decided to omit Brunei from the Super League and all M-League competitions next season after the Brunei Registrar of Societies deregistered the Football Association of Brunei, due to technicalities.


'Because of BAFA's(Brunei Football Association) inexistense, DPMM FC is unable to participate in the upcoming Malaysian Super League season.'

"Brunei Yakin" No More.

Last weekend, I had a great time with my 919 Family. Fourteen of us were enjoying every moment of it. It was a top notch! Having told about the trip a week before the actual day, I thought it was going to be like.. you know~ Lily's promise (famous jua promise si Lily ani karang) but I was wrong. We were really going! Yayy!! Before I talk more on the trip, why don't we sit and get to know a bit about Belalong (Ulu Temburong National Park).




If you must know, Ulu Temburong National Park occupies 5000 hectares of land (40% of Temburong). It is regarded as the best preserved tropical rainforest of Borneo. The park is very popular with educational tours and special interest groups, such as bird watchers.


Map of Temburong


The night before the trip, I tried to sleep early but my euphoria made me wide awake. Counting sheep didn't help at all. Therefore, I ended up sleeping only for three hours.

Location : Home
Time : 0600 Hours

My 'bag-pack'


Woke up early before sunrise.


Location : Tambing (Bandar Seri Begawan)
Time : 0700 Hours

Our bags~


Waiting for our boat. We were supposed to take off at 7.30AM, however due to the efficiency of our tour guide, we took off 15 minutes early. I know, amayyyyzenggg~


My sis


This is the speed boat.


Getting in for the first time :D We were asked to use a life jacket for safety, this rule is now very strict since the incident happened about few months ago. If you're stubborn and still don't want to wear it, you could face a heavy fine of 4 - 5 digits!

The one hour journey from Bandar to Temburong was exquisite. Our journey was.. I dont know.. It was well defined. The line of mangrove forests troughout the journey was eye catching, especially when you see monkeys jumping from tree to tree.

Location : Bangar Town
Time : 0900 Hours

This is Langgi, our tour guide.

Langgi : Selamat Pagi, Hari ini saya jadi tour guide biskita. Biasa cakap english, orang putih selalu ke mari. Tapi nda apa, hari ani cakap melayu saja.

All of us : *Senyum*

Langgi : Btw, nama ku Langgi!

Ka Nik : Aduh, lain jua nama mu atu?

Langgi : Awu, nama Iban.

Ka Nik : Owh~

Me : Dukk.. Berani jua ia~ *Dalam Hati*

Langgi : Ok, kita tunggu bas datang dulu ah dalam 10 minit. Kalau kita kan meliat2, ada tu barang2 bejual di sana *pointing to the direction arah jual2an*

While waiting for the bus, so went to the said place and look look around. I cant really remember what the place is called. I'f im not mistaken, 'Bumiputera Complex'. Look look look, Ka Nik and I found this..


Kayu Bau Tahi. Lol. We didnt dare to touch them!

Then, after satisfied looking around, our bus eventually arrived.


Our Ride. It was comfy, well equipped. Very clean and new!


From Bangar, it took about half of an hour to reach Rainforest Lodge. There, we had our breakfast before cruising the adventurous river.



Only 20 minutes for breakfast.


Cuttie little pie


Ready to feel the adventure.


Getting into the boat called Temuai.



Batu Kelikir


Our rafts


Very strong rapid. Love it. So adventurous~


Pose~ Luckily we brought with us our sense of adventure. This longboat trip of 12km sure a fun one, even we were exposed to too much sunlight during the 45 minutes journey to the next destination. It was wet and exciting. Actually, it wasnt really hot that day :P


This is not a long house. This is a place to stay for visitors who intended to have a night or two here. Cool!! Lappppsss....


Register here. Yes, every visitor must register first.


This is not Jurassic Park, This is Ulu Temburong National Park! Due to natural processes, which by the way sometimes disrupt the wooden walkways, some sections are under repair and some routes are closed for maintenance.





Some routes are muddy and slippery which make the journey to the hill top more fun and adventurous. I had blast of laughters seeing some of us slipped down the hill and ended with a muddy buttock!


After having a rough start, then we had no choice but to climb more than 1200 steps of a newly built wooden staircase. At that moment, we wish there was at least an escalator to take us to the top. The tour guide was way infront and we did not prepare for this!


An old tree. Perhaps more than a hundred years.


Still long way to go.


The Canopy Walkway! Taller than most trees!


Excited about the Canopy Walkway, we moved on and left the others who were still making their ways up to the top. Bak pepatah Brunei 'Karing Paluh Menunggu'. Hayyyy~


Atop the well-constructed Canopy Walkway!



A birds-eye view of the surrounding forests from the not-to-be-missed Canopy Walkway. This steel structure rises some 50 metres from the forest floor to the level of the highest trees, and from here can be seen tiger orchids and other species clinging to the tree branches, as well as Bukit Belalong in the distance. If you're lucky, you may even glimpse snakes in the treetops, such as the strikingly coloured Wagler's Pit Viper.


This would be the view in the morning.


We were told that only maximum of two person can cross the canopy bridge at a time and only 5 person per tower. There were five towers all together. Actually, we didn't have much time to go further into the forest because it's going to take a whole day to be able to explore the whole park and the giant waterfall deep inside the forest. So, we concluded our tour by visiting a small waterfall and rafting!


After the canopy walk


To the waterfall, the smaller one.


Yeah, a pretty small one.


Then, we went to our rafts and.... and I didn't take any pictures of us rafting. So, just to give you an idea what rafting is... look at the picture below..


This is rafting. Wohooo.. Adventure sangat laa dikkk~

After 3KM of rafting, we then had shower and ate our lunch.

Lunch!

Then we arrived home safely. Alhamdullilah.


Next outing for 919 Family is...

Tasek Merimbun. Insya Allah

The next day, Sunday.

Exhausted by yesterday's adventurous day. Dai texted me while I was still sleeping!!!!

Me : Nda, ngalih I still di katil.

The End.
