Pangkor forever...

been ages since i last posted a photo blog. but then again, i'm a chambering student... what photos am i supposed to take? life's fallen into a routine... wake up, eat breakfast, work, eat lunch, work, eat dinner, shower, chat on msn, sleep, wake up, eat breakfast... u get the drift. so i seriously doubt anyone would want photos of my life as a chambering student right???

all the same, the weekend before the last, i was on our company retreat to pangkor island. accomodation, travel expenses and food all covered. GRANDNESS!!! and where were we staying? Pangkor Island Beach Resort!!! the place was gorgeous... simply absolutely beautiful...

DAY ONE : 8 APRIL 2006
woke up early to get ready and somehow still had to rush myself to office to get to our meeting place on time to catch the bus to pangkor which was supposedly supposed to leave at 9am SHARP! note i said SUPPOSEDLY!


azzy helping out... carrying boxes to load onto one of the 6 buses...


the things people do when they get bored on the bus...


it took us DAMN LONG to reach lumut. say we left at about 9.30am... but we only arrived in lumut at about 1pm!!! it was crazy i tell u... CRAZY!!! we had 2 stops... the first stop was like 15 minutes after we departed from our office's parking lot! and we got off the highway somewhere far away from lumut... which meant we travelled the old roads all the way to lumut... grrr...

got off the bus and within 5 minutes i was edi burning in the sun... how wonderful is that? and yes, i got realllllllllllly burnt!!! *sobs*

we caught the 2.45pm ferry across to the island...


the gorgeous ladies of the chambering rooms of 18th and 19th floor... MIA : azzy who was our cameraman... ally, rajjy and seany who didn't join the retreat... BORING!!!


don't u think this boat reminds u of PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN minus the sails???


"oh! come back to me my dearrrr johhhnnnieeee!!!"


arrived at the resort and got our key to the rooms... it was triple sharing but it was wonderful. the space in the rooms was BIG enuff to fit 13 people into one room!!! =)

rested a bit... changed and went out to take a walk on the beach... OH!!! NO HANDPHONE RECEPTIONS!!! *sobs*
... jumped waves a lil' before proceeding to join in the staff meeting at the ballroom...
...thereafter had BBQ dinner by the poolside... limbo rock... and when we were about to retreat to go find someplace to practice our performance for the next night, we got caught by the partners of the firm to join them at the bar for some drinks... and we were there from 9pm to about 2am before managing to escape back into our rooms for zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

zzzzz....

DAY TWO : 9 April 2006
went for breakfast... and was told to go put on the orange t-shirts we were given the day before during the meeting. so after breakfast we all went to change and was heading to Joe Tan's beachfront to join the sea of orange telematch but was stopped short by the beautiful clear waters and so...


AAAA!!! WAVE!!! MEAN WAVE!!! BAD WAVE!!!


after soaking in the clear waters... and after showering and after lunch... all of us squeezed into one room where we watched tv, chitchatted... forgot that azzy was around (he was the only guy k) and some girls were trying to 'molest' one another... =D

some fell asleep... some chitchatted...


i wonder what's so funny...... hiddy & pammy


then we went to Joe Tan's beachfront to help decorate the place for the night's dinner... Bohemian Blitz. it was absolutely beautiful.. well, kind of beautiful by the time we were done...
and then we had to FINALLY PRACTICE OUR PERFORMANCE FOR THE FIRST AND THE LAST TIME before going back to get ready for the dinner...


GORGEOUS SUNSET!!!


dinner was a buffet... but none of us had any appetite to eat... we were worrying about our performance... which was due to start soon...


bush, devil and lucifer... interviewer scene...


hiddy v vivvy.... the fight scene...


hiddy v pammy... the fight scene...


"kalau salah tolong tunjukkan!!!" all of us in a row...


top L-R : jully, mandy, massy, meeny, vivvy, hiddy, dilly, azzzy, jenny
bottom L-R : philly, pammy, rinny, melly


our performance sucked. no one understood it and so... i don't ever wanna be reminded of it. EVER.
but we were FAMISHED after our performance so all of us went grab whatever that was leftover of the buffet... and stuffed ourselves full... =D

and then we split up... some went back to their rooms to sleep... some went to the bar to watch the manchester match... while a few of us went walking on the beach...


dilly and vivvy...


DAY THREE : 10 April 2006
was woken up by the telephone ringing and got up to go get ready for breakfast. after breakfast... some of us went canoeing whilst some went to rest and relax on the beach in the shade...

i saw STINGRAYS at the bottom of the seabed whilst canoeing!!!

dipped in the sea awhile before heading back to the room to shower, get ready and pack up to check out with a heavy heart.


homeward bound... on the ferry...


that's about all about the pangkor retreat. there are more that happened at pangkor but as the rule "whatever happens in pangkor stays in pangkor" applies... i shall not say anymore. =D

all the same... pangkor was superb and guess what? I AM GOING BACK THERE THIS WEEKEND 2DAYS AND 1NIGHT FOR TREASURE HUNT!!!
*grins*
