THE FIRST TIME I TRAVELLED OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY WITHOUT MY PARENTS

By Nashzed T. Mercado

1. Negara Brunei Darussalam

Negara Brunei Darussalam is the most peaceful country in the world. A lot of people are afraid to commit a crime in that country because for example if they steal, the hand that they used to steal will be cut off and will also go to jail. While if they rape, they will cut off the man’s genital off of him, while I don’t know about women who rapes. It is quite a wealthy country due to their economy which relies on oil and gas. It is also the country where I mostly grew up. It is where I spent most of my childhood days/years. I was four years old when my dad took me and my mom to go to Brunei. I have lived in Brunei for almost 11 years. I had so much memories in that country. In fact, I started my schooling days in Brunei and also had my first girlfriend there. It is probably the country that I’d count as my 2nd home, not because of my ex-girlfriends, but because I’ve lived there for so long.

When I was in grade 9, I joined an ICT competition called Brunei ICT Awards or BICTA (in short). It was a competition about an ICT where schools could participate and choose who to present for their schools. But luckily in our school, our teacher wanted students who were willing to join the competition, as she didn’t want to force students into joining the competition. So me, 4 of my mates and 3 classmates who were girls wanted to join the BICTA and quickly told our teacher that we wanted to join BICTA. It was the month of March – July. The AITI(Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry), who were hosting BICTA had a 5 day meeting/training for BICTA. During our training for BICTA we had workshops on what and how are going to do BICTA. The meetings were hosted by AITI (Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry). In our workshops we went to AITI’s building, for tips on doing our BICTA project and Jerudong International School for a workshop that was also hosted by AITI and taught us how to program. Before we officially get registered, me and my team already had a firm idea of what we were going to build/make for BICTA, while our female team didn’t have a firm idea of what they were going to make. So because of our female team didn’t have a firm idea of what they were going to make, they decided to backed out instead. Which only left my team as the only representative for our school. After our 5 day workshop, we immediately started out our BICTA project. While we were in school we’d still do our BICTA project, we were even excused to attend other classes in order for us to focus for our BICTA project, but sadly we weren’t excused from homeworks. Every day we’d do our BICTA project from morning (starting of the classes) to afternoon (end of classes). We’d spent most of our time in the computer lab doing our BICTA project. After working on our project, we then worked for our presentation, as we had to pitch our ideas for the BICTA competition. We also then practiced for our presentation.

It was the day that we were going to present, we all went to school to meet up. After we we’re all already complete, we then got ready by praying to our gods that hopefully our presentation could go well. My teacher and classmates had different religions, so we all prayed to our own gods. After praying, we then went to our teacher’s car and had our teacher driving us to the destination. We all talked to each other inside our teacher’s car and telling each other that the prayers made all of us much more confident. When we reached the destination, we then practiced for one last round for our presentation. Later that moment, they called our school name to present our BICTA project, we were the first group to present, and so we went inside the pitching room and pitched our ideas to the judges. There was a rule that a presentation should only last for 5 minutes, and there is a guy who’s going to send us a signal that it is already our time. While we we’re pitching our presentation to the judges, the judges we’re so interested in our project that they asked lots of questions. Because of them asking questions we have then reached our limit to 5 minutes, while one of the judges extended our time to 10 more minutes. The winners weren’t announced yet so after our presentation we then went to Jollibee and ate Jollibee as it was the favourite restaurant of my squad, then we went home. As for one of the organizers told us that the results will still came in a few weeks later. Around September I had to transfer school in the Philippines, because Brunei was already localizing. My classmates and teacher went to AITI building to get our rewards as for we won the first place, and sadly I wasn’t there with them which made me felt envy. The first and second place of all categories who won the BICTA will be presenting Brunei to Sri Lanka for APICTA (Asia Pacific ICT Awards). I felt envy and happy at the same time because I was in the Philippines and couldn’t do anything, while happy at the same time because we won first place.

2. Philippines

It was the month of September 2015 when we were in the Philippines already, a few days in the Philippines and we already started looking for schools which were I was going to enroll. I had to enroll fast because my parents were worried I might miss a lot of school works. After searching a few schools, we then found a school close to our house called EMD Carmelite School Foundation Inc. and that was the school where I got enrolled. My dad requested if I could go to grade 10 already, so then I was then put to grade 10 in which I should be in grade 9.

A few weeks later my teacher who was in Brunei talked to my parents through calling, saying that she wanted me to go to back to Brunei and work for the APICTA project as it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to other countries to present a country for a competition. Thanks to my teacher, she really convinced both of my parents of me going back to Brunei to join APICTA. While my parents were already convinced of me going back to Brunei, all we had to do was ask permission from the school’s office and school’s president/vice-president whether I could go back to brunei to go to sri lanka to participate for APICTA. Luckily the president agreed for me to go back to brunei.

3. Sri Lanka

Me and my family then went back to Brunei, all of my friends in the school were shocked because I went back to the school as a student just doing APICTA project and not involving in the school works anymore. This time our training was much tougher, if last time we worked for our project everyday from early to afternoon, this time it’s from morning to evening. We’d go to our teacher’s house everyday just to practice for APICTA. Sunday was the only day we don’t have any practice.

Amongst the 5 of us, only 3 members in our group including me we’re allowed to go to Sri Lanka because their parents didn’t allow them to go to Sri Lanka. AITI made a sponsorship that they will only sponsor 2 participants and 1 mentor/teacher for each school. I was supposed to be one of the participants to be offered but sadly they said that at least 1 local must be in the team, so that’s why the local in our group took the spot while the other spot was taken by our leader. So what my teacher did was that she convinced the principal that I had to be sponsored by the school. Thanks to her again I was sponsored by the school.

On our flight day to Sri Lanka, at the airport we met the other Bruneian teams who were also going to represent Brunei in Sri Lanka for APICTA. We were even then also taken pictures in the airport for the News magazine in Brunei. The airlines that we rode going back and forth from Brunei to Sri Lanka was Singapore Airlines. Our flight was not a straight flight from Brunei to Sri Lanka. We still had to stop over in Singapore, then Sri Lanka.

On our day to present for APICTA, we all wore suits to present. We felt confident as usual, and the day after our presentation we had a gala night, where they would present the winners and give certificates to the merit awardees. Our school received a merit award placing 2nd most best presentation, even tho we didn’t win the first place, we were still happy, because at least our hard work paid off. When we went back to Brunei, we then already went back to Philippines immediately. Sometimes when I miss Brunei I’d reminisce all the memories that I’ve done there.
