Picnic @ Gabai Waterfall
[01/03/2008]

Myo & Cik Bintang akhirnya smpai atas..

Masih lagi dalam mood mandi manda.. hehe.. last Saturday me & geng2 BDN gi picnic kat Sg Gabai.. Owh sangat best picnic kat sana..!! kitorg gi ada la dlm 20 org mcm tu.. mmng seronok sgt..!!

Aku tgh membakar kambing, udang & sotong..

Around 9.30 mcm tu kami sampai sana.. tak ramai org hari sbb it was actually raining that morning.. Alhamdulillah, hujan rahmat.. biasanya kalau weekend mmng penuh kat sana.. masa kami sampai sana, ada la one group yg dah smpai.. so kitorg terus naik atas sbb nak chop port yg best..

Owh sungguh lazatnya kambing yg dipanggang nih..!!

Kemeriahan makanan yang ada..

Aduh.. sungguh tinggi tangga yg nak dipanjat tuh.. actually xde la tinggi sgt.. aku dah penah panjat yg tangga or even gunung yg lebih tinggi drp tu.. berhari2 pun penah.. tp disebabkan dah lama tinggal aktiviti panjat memanjat nih, rasa tinggi sangat.. penat jangan ckp la.. bila sampai je atas, terus rest jap.. and then dah ilang penat, kitorg start activiti memasak..

Aktiviti bershampoo pun ada..

Mcm2 stryle.. Otromen ada.. mak enon pun ado..!

Apart from makanan yg bwk siap dr rumah like sandwich, koey teow, sardine roll, cekodok etc, ada jugak kitorg bwh barang2 mentah utk barbeku / masak kat situ.. ncik mat bawak kambing yg dah dimarinate oh sungguh sedapnya..!! tambah lagi sedap sbb aku yg dok bakar kambing2 tu.. hehe.. tapi seriusly, sungguh best kambing tuh..!! sotong & udang bakar pun best..

Aktiviti percik memercik..

Me sliding..!! yeeahaa..

And then ada nugget & ayam crispy, mcm biasa la mmng best dimakan panas2 apatah lagi lepas mandi sungai yg sejuk ya amat..!! owh lupa, Piang plak bawak jagung yg kitorg bakar kat situ.. pergghh.. mmng besh.. kalau aku nak cite pasal makan je, alamatnya panjang la posting nih.. aku rasa kan, kitorg lebih banyak habiskan masa utk masak & makan drp mandi sungai.. sbb makanan sgt bnyk ok..!! smpai tak abis, kitorg bagi kat org2 lain kat situ.. smpai camtu skali..!!

Peace..!

Nampak tak dua org budak mcm dok berdoa tu..??

So selain aktivti makan, of coz la aktiviti dalam air sebagaimana yg diperhatikan dlm gambar2 ni.. bermandi manda, bersliding pelbagai gaya, bershampoo & sudah tentu aktiviti skodeng.. hehe.. biasala kan, kalau dah tmpt mandi tu mmng tak sahla kalau x skodeng.. pendek kata, mmng best segala aktiviti yg kitorg buat arituh.. sronok sgt sbb aku pun dah lama tak beraktiviti mcm ni..

Peace lagi..

Group pic in the water..

Around 5 something hujan turun renyai2.. kitorg pun mmng dah nak bersiap nak balik pun taim tu.. so pack our stuffs, around 6 mcm tu, kitorg pun turun.. masa turun rasa skejap je.. lagipun terasa ringan sket sbb makanan semua dah abis.. and then on our way back, singgah kat satu stall ni minum petang & celebr8 belated bsday morp & maz.. tq satG bwk cake blueberry tuh.. :D

Me, Meo, Asrul & Ajak..

This is what happens when grown ups are up thrown into the pool...

they became just like kids.. haha..!!

These photos were taken when i went for a meeting at Langkawi last 2 weeks.. Ada satu petang tu, xde apa2 session so kitorg ramai2 pakat gi mandi kat pool.. sebab nak gi jalan2 kat town or elsewhere, transport lak takde.. we stayed at Awana Porto Malai yg memang jauh dr pekan Kuah.. so terjun kolam la jawabnya.. and fyi, kitorg bukannya kenal semua org coz we were from different branches & departments.. so that was the time when ice breaking really took place.. and it was really fun..!!

Owh semangatnya aku dlm gmbr ni..!!

and that's me with my hands up in the air..!!

Boleh masuk mangga gambar ni.. haha..

Work Trip To Langkawi

Last week, i had a company strategic planning meeting plus team building at langkawi.. depart from KL with a bus occupied by around 30+ people around 9am, and arrived at the hotel betul2 kul 9 malam.. believe it or not..? believe it..!! haha.. cam cite Ripleys plak..

Reasonnya, kitorg lama melepak kat R&R.. biasa le, bila geng2 yg suka berjalan campur sedikit gile2, gitulah jadiknya.. contohnya R&R yg kitorg berenti yg kat atas ni.. aku pun dah x ingat yg ni kat mana.. Bukit Gantang ke Bagan Lalang ntah.. but the R&R was nice la.. very cozy.. mcm garden pun ada.. then drop kat Ipoh sekejap ambik some of our branch staffs kat sana..

We stayed at Awana Porto Malai.. It's quite a nice resort la.. the room was nice, food pun ok.. tp yg x bestnya sbb it's quite far drp town.. so throughout the 4 days kat langkwi, 2 kali je dpt gi town.. sempat gak le aku bershopping sakan beli coklat dan juga rokok utk diri sendiri & kawan2.. nak beli apa lagi kan kat Langkwi tuh.. kira2, dlm rm350 jugak la fulus aku habis utk membeli belah.. okla tu, drp yg lain siap beli segala pinggan mangkuk & periuk bagai..!

Anyway, aku xle eager sgt nk shopping & berjalan2 kat langkawi tuh.. sbb baru lagi aku ngan family holiday kat sana last year.. a colleague ajak gi blog hopping.. but i gotta past sbb dah pegi last year.. since free time very limited, i chose to jalan2 around Pekan Tuah & dkt jeti bersoping..

Talking bout the meeting, overall boleh kata best jugakla aktiviti2 yg dianjurkan.. the meeting & discussion tu x best, yg bestnya adalah aktiviti team building yg sgt happening.. siap menyanyi menari bagai.. pastu main business war.. best gile sbb team aku je yg tak rugi..

And one particular session yg aku suka jgk ialah when they did an inventori personaliti warna.. they gave us a set of 100 questions, and then ada la calculations etc, then we were classified into colours.. ada 4 kaler - biru, hijau, emas & jingga.. yg kelakarnya dlm 40 org that attended the session, aku sorg je yg berpersonaliti JINGGA..! we had to do a presentation of our dream office & i had to do it alone since aku sorang2 je personality JINGGA.. aku pnya dream office biasa la, must be luxurious but simple, ada entertainment stuffs around (ie bowling, extreme sports complex, cinema, karoke, shopping complex, all the fast food restaurants), area yg modern but not hectic like KL, office hours must be flexible, ada rest room equipped with a TV, a bes and etc etc.. talk namanya dream office kan, aku bantai je la kan.. after the presentation, the instructor pointed out aku nye fantasy semuanya bout entertainment & freedom.. not so much about the work.. team lain pun bnyk gak merapik but at least most of 'em ada la jgk sentuh psl work facilities like internet etc, aku langsung xde.. haha..! ye la, talk about dream office right..?!! and apa yg aku dreamed of my office tu memang betul2 kena dgn personality description utk kaler JINGGA!!

This is what it says:
Falsafah -> Kebebasan
Fokus -> Adventure, Pengembaraan
Kekuatan -> Benci peraturan, gopoh, bersemangat, berani, suka risiko, berkemahiran, spontaneous
Ciri Bekerja -> Puas dgn kerja yg beri kebebasan, gunakan koordinasi fizikal, performer semula jadi, bosan kerja berstruktur
Tema Komunikasi -> Tindakan, keseronokan, adventure
Bahasa -> terus terang, realistik
Personaliti contoh -> Mr Bean..!! haha..

Everthing is quite true.. (kecuali yg contoh Mr Bean tu je la kot!) Sape2 yg btol2 kenal aku, they will agree with the description.. sape2 yg tak kenal, maybe akan rasa pelik coz i don't look like mcm org yg suka beradventure, take risks, freedom etc.. even the instructors tu pun pelik aku dikategorikan dlm personaliti jingga.. ppl don't know that i do rock/wall/mount climbing, kayak, camping, exploring the caves, jungle trekking, snorkeling, flyng fox etc.. and org pun akan ingat yg aku ni jenis yg skema, obey the rules gile2, ikut je semua arahan.. but heck, i'm totally the opposite.. haha.. i missed my friends kat Uni dulu yg selalu buat keje2 gile ngan aku dulu.. never mind, i think i now hv new friends who also share the same interest.. cuma bezanya masa je yg x brp nak mengizinkan sbb masing2 keje & bz dgn life masing2.. but then again, i'm thankful to bincangdotnet!

Amazing Race Asia 2
Congratulations Adrian & Colin !!!

The winners - Colin & Adrian

I know it's a bit late to post on this.. i didn't get to watch the live telecast, sempat tgk ulangan je.. so that's why lmbt blog about this.. being an ardent fan of this show, i was disappointed aku x dpt tgk live.. sgt sedeyh ok..!!! of all days, hari tu pulak aku kena travel to langkawi.. we had a meeting at langkawi.. travel by bus seramai 40 org, depart pkl 9 pagi, kul 9 malam br sampai.. seriously..!! we singgah at ipoh pick some staffs there, the rest berenti kat rest house sket pny lama.. haha..! Sampai2 hotel Awana Porto Malai, terus bukak TV kot2 ada AXN.. xde la pulak.. ampess je..!!

2nd place - Pamela & Vanessa
U girls did Malaysia proud..!

Oklah back on to the show.. i really didn't expect that Marc & Rovilson would loose.. they've been very2 consistent throughout the competition.. forgetting that last road block, these 2 lads have shown their intelligence & endurance throughout the race.. plus, luck have always been on their side.. so it was shocking that it was the LAST road block that put them in 3rd place.. but i hv no qualms over that coz aku pun mmng x nak diorg menang pun.. bukan x suka, but i think semakin lama in the competition, their jokes are just not funny anymore, sometimes it translates as arrogance & over confidence.. annoying sometimes..

3rd place - Marc & Rovilson

So i'm very2 happy that Adrian & Colin won.. despite Adrian's handicap, they proved that anyone can achieve anything & everything if they put their heart & soul into their goals.. and that is what they (particularly Adrian) did.. they are very focused & determined to win.. they fought with integrity & good spirit.. a was very well deserved win.. However, kalau diberi peluang utk susun kedudukan pemenang, of course i would choose Pamela & Vanessa.. as i'm writing this, aku masih rasa terharu dgn pencapaian these two girls.. aku rasa sgt patriotik.. w'pun diorg x menang, ending the race at no 2 is a GREAT achievement.. mcm nak nanges pun ada masa they reached the pitstop.. diorg sgt bersemangat & happy bila smpai pitstop tu.. i'm very proud & happy for them.. well done girls..!

My favourite team - Paula & Natasha

A special mention goes to Pauta & Natasha.. aku sgt admire dgn spirit diorg berdua that they've shown throughout the race.. kita boleh rasa their bond & friendship sgt kuat.. x penah tgk diorg quarrel.. they encouraged each other, motivated each other, when one could not perform a task, they never complained but lift each other's spirit up.. sgt sedih masa diorg keluar.. mcm nak nanges pun ada.. hehe.. they are my favourite team antara semua2 yg bertanding..

Most unforgettable team - Terri & Henry

Another special mention is this team.. Terri & Henry..!! who can ever forget them..?!! rasa nak lepuk2 je si Terri tu.. aku pelik & takjub macam mana the husband boleh tahan dgn perangai isteri dia yg suka mengarah, menjerit x tentu hala, menengking & emo x tentu pasal.. sdgnkan Henry is very the opposite.. sgt polite, penyabar, calm & sewaktu dgnnya.. agaknya sbb tu la mmng ditakdirkan diorg berdua sbg husband & wife.. i'm amazed..!

So, TARA2 dah tamat.. tak bestnya..?!! it has been a great race & has a great ending to it.. tak sabarnya nak tunggu TARA3.. owh, tp xle keboasanan sgt TARA2 dah abis sbb American Idol 7 pun dah start & mlm ni bermula la persaingan top 24.. yeayy..!! gudby TARA2, welcome AI7.. yeehaa..!!!!
