Endau Rompin Trip

Just came back from my company trip in Endau Rompin, Pahang recently and was pretty tired but enjoyed it tremendously. Being quite near the swamp and forest areas, our mobile network service reception wasn't very good. We had to go to certain areas before we could see the bars in our mobile...the most three bars!! But the best place to get clear reception was at the beach, one of my favourite places:-)

My colleagues and I actually woke up at 5am the first day to catch the sunrise at the beach. We waited there about 1 hour before we could glimpse some light coming up. Man, what a sight!! The sun was such a brilliant ball of fire coming out from the horizon! Intense man...if you are late, you will miss it because it was only for about 5 minutes and it was daylight.

We had some telematches later on in the day including tug of war. Let me say this, playing tug of war on the sand is really tough cos there's not much ground for you to anchor your feet. Sadly, my group lost...mainly because the group were unevenly grouped. Some had more male members than the rest.

We also had futsal on the beach after the telematches...running on the sand was another mean feat. Nearly twisted my ankles too. Our team didn't win but it was a good match. The funniest incident was when the Physical Resource Team which consisted of all guys who were experienced futsal players, dressed in their football jerseys and shoes played against an inexperienced team. Because of time constraint, if they can't score a goal to see who wins, they take their luck by playing "one two som"....and the PRD boys lost the futsal match because of "one two som"!!

We had a more relaxing time after that with walks on the beach and hawaiian theme dinner at the poolside...which came with a watergun fight after that!! Some even took the big plastic bags, filled them up with water from the pool and drenched their victims!! We also had the opportunity to see the A&W bear which another group of tourists invited for their event.

When we finally had to say our farewells, the hotel had a farewell dance for us as we went back for our 6 hour drive in the coaches. Finding a toilet on the way back was one of the main concern but eventually we arrived safe and happy. Till the next trip next year....here is a picture I took with my favourite bear.

    Take the Lead...never follow

    Can Antonio Banderas dance? I have seen "Shall We Dance" and Richard Gere can definitely sway. But I have yet to see Antonio Banderas, the actor who is famous for his macho, he-man roles, dance. Hmm...maybe he did in Evita, I forget. So this I gotta see. Listening to all my dance 'kaki' rave about the movie and how it made them want to get up and dance along in the cinema, sure whetted my appetite. But then, even if they didn't say anything, I would have not missed it. Based on a true story of how a dance teacher wanted to teach a bunch of street kids that nobody thought they had any future, how to dance. Oh, these kids can dance but ballroom dancing? And in the end, he didn't just teach them about ballroom dancing, but about life. To teach them to believe in themselves. That if they want to achieve something, they had to work at it and not blame your circumstances for pulling you down. To teach the guys how to treat a lady with respect cos beating ...

    Why so downcast O my soul?

    Recently I seem to be having a few upheavals in my personal relationships and also those around me. Don’t you get the feeling that sometimes months go by without something big happening and all of a sudden it all just comes pouring upon you? Is it me or it is absolutely no fault of mine. *blinks innocently* In the past few weeks, I seem to have upset one of the most patient and sweetest guy I know…though not intentionally. I’ve apologized and tried to make things better but he hasn’t been replying my messages nor picking up my calls. Zip. Nada. Nothing. I don’t know but lately I feel like whatever I say or do, people seems to be reacting negatively or things just blows up in my face. Then my brother did a very good job in making me feel like a failure by letting me know I am not making enough to help with the family finances. It’s bad enough that I am already frustrated with the fact that I do not have the resources to get a degree or get a place of my own… or even my own wheels. Now h...

    RM 1 Million Wedding (Part I)

    A recent article came out in The Star tabloid regarding a couple who spent about RM 1 million ringgit on their wedding. Now this was no ordinary wedding...the bride happens to be a man who underwent three major surgeries in order to be a woman and the groom happens to be.................... my ex-schoolmate! For the full article, just click here Imagine my shock when I saw the photo and article. Hmmm...didn't know he had it in him to love someone so much, he proposed six times to her(him?). I used to see him in school back in Form 6. He even dated my classmates before...ahem, they happened to be females. He's quite a good looking guy and though I've lost touch with him now, he used to join my class when we went out for group outings. He's actually a quiet guy and also quite active in sports, but I didn't really knew him very well. I can still remember the time he came to persuade me from quitting as a librarian. What happened was when I started my Lower 6 F...
