Team Building

I had the first team building session back in 2005 at Setiu, Terengganu. That time, the participants were only from PAN, none from HQ, Planet, not to mentioned even Langkawi.

It was in Setiu I had my first experience of walking in the jungle at night, alone and separated from the rest, (with only a rope to guide me), building a raft and using it while ensuring that we won't fall into the lake, flying fox (scared the hell out of me, jumping of from a tower three four stories high and slide all the way to the side of the lake) as well as some other form of exercise.

All of these had only one aim - to build up the team. At that time, we had already bonded, through some experience we shared among ourselves, so going for a team building was indeed fun for us coz we treated it like an outdoor camp.

The second team building was conducted just recently, over the weekend at Trolak. The place was indeed much nicer and cozier compared to Setiu and we had a even bigger group. This time, it is a combination of all the campuses in ANGKASA. But it was rather tiring for me at least, coz we were already attending training 5 days before, and we had to attend team building over the weekend before coming back to finish another 5 days of training.

And with more people attending this time, got to know and get close to more colleagues, but I am not very sure whether it changes anything in the way we work. I seriously doubt it but hopefully, it will give me more patience ...

Melaka - Here I Come

It has been so many years since my last visit to Melaka. Let me see, I think the last time I visited Melaka was in 1996. And that does not include the Heritage Town. I have never been into the Heritage before, in my whole life. Talk about "jakun". Here is one real-life jakun.

So, tonight, we are leaving for Melaka town. Syg got a course there tomorrow morn, so we thought of accompanying him down (actually, it is more like we wanna go there, hehehhee). Got a room at the Baba House Melaka.

So, let see what we plan to do:

• Eating Chicken Rice Ball and Satay Celup
• Drinking Cendoi
• Visiting Jonker Street, especially during night time (that's why we chose tonight to drive down, so that we can take a walk at Jonker Street)
• Visiting the ruins, fort, ship, and all other historical building
• And more eating, and eating, of course....

I am sure we'll have lots of fun - me, mummy and LaiYenn, together with Daniel. Poor syg got to attend course. Never mind, next week, we'll go Cameron Highlands pulak. I guess I'll save that for later.
Till then, chao guys !

Bowling At Plaza Alam Sentral Shah Alam

Syg had a friendly tournament among the staff of Jabatan Laut. So, again, me and Daniel tag along... Hehehehe, its fun and I do miss bowling. Maybe one day, all three of us could go for a quick game.

Tanjung Bidara Beach Resort

Went to Tanjung Bidara Beach Resort recently. Syg got a Bengkel there, so me and Daniel just tag along since it was paid for.
The journey was about one hour plus, we exit at Simpang Ampat toll, and from there, drove to Tanjung Bidara. Road is kinda winding, but not so bad. Daniel was practically sleeping during the whole journey!

When we reached, we got a shock coz according to GPS, we are there but on site, all we saw was Kem Terendak and Tanjung Bidara public beach. There is no other sign of the resort. We were wondering if we are at the wrong place. Syg went down and asked a pak cik who was sitting nearby. The road leading to the resort was just beside the main parking place.

We had fun and rest there, well, at least for me and Daniel coz we practically sleep and sleep after each meal. Then we got up and brought Daniel to the swimming pool. First time actually for Daniel. He loves to sit at the edge and slides into the pool. Dare not play too long coz he was still down with flu and cough and not to mention, phlegm.

But overall, the place is in dire needs of a proper maintenance. The rooms were badly maintained, insects (especially big ants) crawling around the room. Paint coming off, broken pipes, furnitures, cleanliness and all sorts of amneties you would expect a resort to provide. Even our TV reception is bad. No ASTRO, TV 1 and TV 2 only. That also not clear.

Food preparation and presentation on the 1st night was bad but edible. At least, that was the only part that I feel improved as we stayed. But still not up to the excellent mark.

All in all, like I said earlier, good to have the weekend off by sleeping and watching Daniel enjoying himself. But if you are thinking to spend your money on a vacation at a resort, I would not recommend this one.

Weekend At Tanjung Malim

A weekend gathering for family members...

Went up to Tanjung Malim to Obot's house. What was the occasion? Well, it is Fredelex one month's old. And since we have not seen the baby yet, its high time that we go. After all, a weekend in Tanjung Malim will definately be the most relaxing one.

The baby boy is cute, and bore a little resemblence to his elder bro, Frederick. While Frederick is blessed with huge round eyes, Fredelex has rather tiny eyes. But he does do a lot of "stretch-up" a.k.a "mengeliat"... Hehehe, it's cute.

As usual, we had B.B.Q the whole day. Stuff myself till I can walk no more. Hehehe... Went to bed in the afternoon only to wake up 2 hours later and continue eating. God must be having fits with me. Lent season and here I am, gorging up myself with food. Well, they said, dun waste food.

Sunday was an outing day for us. Obot brought us to this place that has a mini waterfall. When I said mini, it wasn't even 1m high. Who cares, water is cold and refreshing ....

Can't wait to have another outing. Outing to anywhere with my hubby will be wonderful. :)
