Department outing - Tasek Merimbun.

This was organised by the Podiatry team. It was aimed at knowing the fellow juniors as well as a good weekend outing. Tasek Merimbun was chosen for this. Initially about 10-12 people decided to come, but in the end, only 7 including the driver turned up!! But again, it was alright. Found this rare car on the way.




Journey was long. But fun and excitement were gushing through everyone's soul, making the journey an uneventful and a pleasant one. We left RIPAS Hospital at 7.30am on this cool Ford Transit. It has a mega loud sound system and with built-in big screen TV as well as karaoke enabled. One of us was singing too, and that amazed everyone how this car has this echo-ed microphone.




Suddenly, we went to a narrow strip, and unfamiliar route. we decided to stop at one of the houses and ask. We were astonished with the beauty of natural fauna, and the habitants around including the local occupants.




We asked this old lady where Tasek Merimbun was, and she kindly replied, "Itu di Tutong.. (that is in Tutong)". "So where are we..?" I asked. We were actually far in the rural of Ulu Tutong. So we had to make a turn.




Maybe because of the beauty that we actually missed the sign board for the exit to Tasek Merimbun. Again, maintenance was to be blamed. The signboard was covered in long bushes of grass and wild plants!




On our arrival, Mahady and I couldn't stop taking our gears shooting the scenery. We simply couldn't get out hands off the shutter the moment we arrived, and trying to capture every glimpse we could, and Alhamdulillah for the beautiful weather on that day. Just look at these beautiful sceneries. They're simply not the Amazon, this is Brunei we're talking about.
























Some of the flowers growing wild fed with only natural rain, soil and sunlight.







And overall, it was a great outing indeed. We shall have a second next time and probably more. And hopefully, there will be more people that are able to come next time.
