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.

    Calendar boy

    The long queue snaked along the walkway outside Espanda club and it was only 8pm. At the entrance the organisers were busy giving away doorgifts and free drink coupons. Behind the stage, 30 nervous young men were getting ready for the final round of interview. Inside the club, it was already jam packed with people waiting impatiently for the event to start. There was hardly any standing space left and yet people were pushing their way through to get a better view of the stage while the long queue kept getting longer outside. Finally there were lots of cheering and wolf whistles, the young men were coming out to do the catwalk. Dressed in jeans and body hugging white T-shirt with "I'm A Hunk" printed in front, to show off their muscular bodies, all 30 of them looked liked cover-guy models vying for the title of....New Icon/New Tide's latest 12 Hunks of the Year 2005. In between interviews, there was also a special presentation from our Malaysian Idol, Daniel as we...

    All I Want for this Christmas is....

    This Christmas has really been a nostalgic one for me. I was window shopping these past few weeks for some Christmas gift ideas when I came upon Memory Lane the other day. What caught my eye was this little miniature wardrobe wrapped in bright, eye-catching colours. I was attracted to it and went in to take a closer look. It actually turned out to be a jewellery box shaped like a miniature wardrobe. It even has a little mirror inside and a turnstile inside one of the glass cabinets...to hang your necklaces in. Hmmm....good idea especially each time I take out my necklaces from my jewellery box, it all gets entangled and takes me forever to get them unentangled. Then nostalgia came in....I still remember how I got my first jewellery box. I think I was about six or seven of age and my favourite grandma used to come visit once in a while especially during the Christmas holidays. That particular Christmas, she came to visit and gave me a jewellery box for Christmas. It was made of...

    Death by Suicide

    “I’m alive”, thought Veronika. “Everything’s gonna start all over again. I’ll have to stay in here for a while, until they realize that I’m perfectly normal. Then they’ll let me out, and I’ll see the outside world again.” In the second book by Paulo Coelho I have been exploring, “Veronika Decides To Die” talks about a 24 year old Veronika who seems to have everything – youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, Veronika decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills, expecting never to wake up again. But she does…in a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. And as she thinks about her situation now that her suicide was unsuccessful, an inner monologue continues on in her head: “Since people always tend to help others-just so that they can feel they are better then they really are-they’ll give me my job back at the library. Since I only take sleeping pil...
