Hiking At Tasek Lama

By Caroline Tan Chiaw Wei.

FRIDAY 17th February 2012 – The Jogging and Hiking Club (JHC) from Pusat Tingkatan Enam Katok had its very first hiking of the year at Tasek Lama, Bandar Seri Begawan. It was a cloudy, rainy day. However, this was never a problem for the club members. Printed on the club’s shirts is a quote that says "We jog for exhaustion, we hike for danger" and therefore regardless of the weather, the members of JHC who participated for this exciting journey, 5 teachers and 32 students, still strived determinedly in the rain, to reach the end point of the hike.


At 8.00 a.m., prayer is recited in unison by the members before the hike. Excitement filled each member as they started the journey right away after. Prayer was recited again upon reaching the part of the mountain where slippery steep slopes were seen. The dangerous part of the hike therefore began. Members of the club took their responsibility very seriously with safety as their one and only priority. At 9.30 a.m., everyone proudly crossed the end point in their soaking-wet clothing and with smiles of satisfaction and accomplishment on their faces.
