My company organized team building every quarterly, but most of the time is only half day event. This quarter was good, we have 2 days 1 night stay at Pangkor Island, guess boss wanted to reward us for 1 year hardwork contributed to the division.
Since it was only one night , i let Gary stay in Baby sitter house. She is really helpful and happy to help me. At first i worry Gary will give troublesome to her, but luckily Gary behaved as a good boy. Relief~~~
The whole group of nearly 70 peoples headed to Pulau Pangkor on 27th Nov (See, it was so backdated :P ), we travelled in a bus, looked ok too. We arrived at Lumut Jetty about 12pm, the weather was good, windy and not too hot. It's about 40 mins ferry ride from Lumut to Pangkor Island, i hide on the deck all the way from Lumut to Pangkor.I had very bad experience in my last visit from England to Paris via Dover, it brings me dilemma on nausea ever since then.
Don't we look like those 18-22 young girls? :)Pangkor Island still look as old Pangkor Island, there is not much development i can see...compared to 10 years ago.
I was surprized that the Hotel that we stayed has changed to a Malay management group, and my comments are-"Do not expect more",as long as the room and environment look clean and hygine.
Telematch games started at the seaside, it's only 3 minutes walk from the hotel after we had lunch . I bet there are not many people come here for team buiding , as the instructor was lousy and the whole arrangement was bad.Well, despite of these, we had fun too!
But the best part was the cycling tour that we had after the telematch games....We rented bicycles from stalls by the road side, you easily can get one..there are plenty. But just a 2 cents opinion from me, please check properly and choose the new bike... most of the bikes are rotten.
Pangkor island is having a lot of hill side and the road are winding and steep, it is a very tough exercise to have a bike tour go around island. If i remember correctly the whole round island trip is taking like 3-4 hours. Due to lack of time, we had only 1.5 hours ride...and you know what 1.5 hours for 1km distance, will it be to slow....or are we too old?
The dinner come with Karaoke session, but a few of us "ponteng" from the event. We sneaked out to the beach, we equiped ourselves with red wine, peanuts and snacks...We talked about office gossips, futures...a lot of laughters.
P/S: to Poo Daddy, the pondok still there, next time will not be only 2 of us but add one more member to be there- little Gary!
