Bkt. Serdang (nov. 1st, 2006) - Puspa Rahayu


On the1st November 2006 (Wednesday) was our first trip after the fasting month. We went to Bukit Serdang at Jalan Kota Batu. Since only few people join the trip so we used cars as our transportation. It took us about 15 minutes to reach our destination. About 5pm, we started our walk. The slope was quite steep but luckily the slope was terraced in order to make it easy for people to climb up. The path looks like steps. At the top of the hill, we could view very nice and beautiful scenery. We could see some parts of Kampong Ayer, pulau Baru-baru, local fish farm as well as Brunei’s estuary. There were also evidences showing that it used to be a cultivation area such as tapioca plant plus the ‘sulap’ (small houses) for the farmer to take rest or stay overnight in order to look after their crops. Furthermore, we have encountered some plants such as pitcher plant, flower, simpur and others which were unknown or anonymous. At the foot of the hill, we could see some deforestation. The journey was quite leisure but somehow I still gain additional knowledge about the Brunei’s rainforest. It took us about one hour to complete the walk. Around 6.15pm we left the place and headed to Dr. Asmah’s house as she invited us to her ‘open house’. Last but not least….. Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir & Batin (o^_^o).
